Book Description:
Renner Caldwell has her life perfectly mapped out. She has the ideal relationship, the perfect job and all is right in her world. When a shameful turn of events happens, she boards the first plane bound for Ireland to lick her wounds and get her head back on straight.

Cillian O’Braidagh is the sexy, front man to the Irish rock band, Over The Edge. His rising fame and sultry voice make him every woman’s fantasy come true. Not to mention his single-minded determination. To put it simply: what Cillian wants, Cillian always gets. And he wants Renner, because there’s just something about the flame-haired beauty he has to possess.

If their relationship was just about sex and rock n’ roll, it would be easy for them to get lost in their desires. Only their relationship is anything but a hook-up. Will lies, deceit and hidden tragedy get in the way, making the path to true love uncertain? Or will the girl whose been knocked Off Course, find her footing with the man who is teaching her it’s okay to lose control?

My Thoughts:

Five years ago Renner visited Ireland with her cousin and uncle and the day before she left she met Cillian a hott lead singer and shared a steamy makeout session. When he moved on the next girl, Renner left back home and moved on. Now shes back in Ireland escaping her past and living on her own, working at her Uncles pub. The last thing she expected was to run into Cillian again and for him to remember her. Slowly Cillian starts to have her warm up to him by walking her home from work talking. Eventually they start to open up and fall for eachother. But not everything stays good, a man from Renners past shows up, and Cillians bandmate has an infatuation with him and a drinking problem and him being a nice guy with a heroes complex he drops everything to help her. Will their problems just break them apart? Read to find out!

Sawyer Bennett is such a fantastic writer and I love all her work. Of all the books in this series that I've read this is definitely on the top. What I love also about this Off Series is that even if you read this book first it wouldn't mess up any of the previous books because each book to this off series is its own different stories.

So that goes to say that I loved this book and pretty much devoured it in one day. I love the chemistry between Renner and Cillian, they both were made for each other. They both are from different backgrounds and it helped shape the great characters they are and made them a perfect match. I loved that Cillian was hot, flirt, cocky, loyal, and protective of those who need him. Even if he had a rocker outward appearance he was a guy a person could turn to when they needed help but he was too helpful that it affected his relationship to the point where he was given a alternative. Reading about the pasts that helped shape the characters really helped me love the characters. I love characters with a past because they give the characters a kind of depth and realism? I can only hope you understand what I mean.

Overall I loved this book and look forward to reading the next and last book of the series *Sigh* all good things should come to an end I suppose. Highly Recommend you read this book and all the rest of the Off Series book.

"You remember me?" she asks in awe.
Stepping up close to her again, I grab her chin between my thumb and forefinger so her gaze stays locked on me. I swear a feel a sizzle of electricity from the contact of my skin on hers. "That I do. Five years ago, I kissed a girl that was fresh, and young, and innocent... and so not ready for the likes of me." Releasing her chin, I rake my eyes down her body and slowly move them up again. I like what I see...a lot, and I take pleasure in the fact that her breath hitches just a little under my perusal. "You're all grown up, Renner. I'm bettin' you could handle me now."
She lets out a shaky breath, and there it is... her eyes go dark. The knowledge that my words alone do that to her thrills me beyond measure. I can't wait to see what type of response my tongue can get.
"Now, let's go get that drink and we can see just how well can you handle me."
The blinding smile I expect to get from her doesn't come. Instead, her eyes lighten back up and there's now a scowl on her forehead. 
Putting her hands on my chest, she pushes me back away from her. "In your dreams, O'Bradaigh," she sneers. "I may have been stupid enough to fall for your sexy lines before, but you're right... I am all grown up now and I have better things to do than waste my time with an arrogant musician."
I stare at her for just a moment, stunned she's turning me down. Then I throw my head back laughing. She glares at me and crosses her arms across her chest. She clearly doesn't get my amusement but I am indeed amused with her. If she wants to play hard to get, I have time to play.
Reaching out, I wrap my hand around her throat, skimming my thumb softly along her jaw. "My cailín álainn has some claws. I'm going to enjoy them when they’re sunk deep into my back while I'm riding you."
"Aaaagghhh," she screams in frustration, at the same time knocking my hand away. I take a step back for good measure, just in case she decides to let a fist or foot fly my way. "You are a conceited, egotistical, jackass and the only place my claws will be sunk will be in your balls if you try to touch me again."
I give her a well-calculated smirk. "Now that thought just turns me on, Renner. You have a gift for words." 
In all actuality, it doesn't turn me on... thinking about her ripping my balls to shreds, but I'm having far too much fun teasing her. 
Now... that lovely high and angry blush she's wearing? Yes, that's turning me on. I wonder if her cheeks will get that red when she comes. I bet she blushes all the way down to her breasts.
