Why did I fall for Nix? Well...
- He is so beautifully broken that you can not, not want to help him and love him
- His tattoo scroll pretty much says it all about him about how he sees the beauty in the world
- Once he let love in, it just completed him and made him so much more whole
Some of the examples of why Nixon stole my heart:
"The difference is now...I love you more than the air I breathe and I feel so very empty without in my life..."
"I promise that I will cherish you when we are intimate, and I won't intentionally hurt you."
"I just want you to know that this is forever. My love for you, that is. My heart is a complete slave to you and I just want you by my side...always."
Off Limits
(Off Series #2)
by
Sawyer Bennett (Goodreads Author)
“There is a
vulnerability there, hovering just below the surface. And I want to pick
at it until I expose it. Then I want to kiss it." Two years ago, Emily Burnham, had an epiphany about the shallowness of her life. And she made it her mission to become a different person…a better woman. Out from under the controlling thumb of her mother, Emily is tasting the real world for the first time. And she likes it.
Nixon Caldwell has served his time in the Marine Corps, surviving two brutal tours in Afghanistan. He is back home, surrounded by what he likes best…isolation. It's certainly the best way to avoid confrontation of the consuming guilt that is weighing him down.
When an accident brings Emily and Nix together, he soon learns he is not the master of his own fate. Struggling with his own pain, Nix tries to guard himself against Emily’s charms. He wants her in his bed, but he doesn’t want her in his heart.
Having grabbed life by the horns, Emily wants it all. But is she willing to accept just the small part of himself that Nix is offering? Can she reach the part of his soul that he has deemed to be Off Limits?
Synopsis from Goodreads
Loved both Off Sides and Off Limits. Nix was a great character and I appreciated the emphasis on him getting help to be able to accept the life and love he deserved.
ReplyDeleteI agree it was very heart warming to see his growth. I too loved both books. I can't wait for Lincoln's story. :) L
DeleteWhat a great book! I loved reading Nix & Emily's story. I just finished it & had a hard time putting it down. Off Sides was great, too.
