Not long after moving into his new apartment, Ryder starts chatting with a guy on an app. A decent man, he tells Mads the truth (and he doesn’t cheat, in case anyone is wondering) and even though she is understandably shocked and heartbroken, they agree to divorce.Īfter this, Ryder moves to California, but five years later, missing his family and his home, he decides to return. But Ryder has, over the last few years, begun to realise that while he loves Mads dearly, he’s never been IN love with her, that he mistook his feelings of deep friendship for something it wasn’t – and also that he’s not sexually attracted to women.

The Lynwood and Hutchinson families have always been close they do business together, the families have taken holidays together, their children pretty much grew up together, and Ryder and Madison have been best friends forever. At a family gathering, Ryder Lynwood and his wife Madison announce their intention to seek a divorce, something which will have lasting effects for their two families as well as for themselves. We meet all the major players in this story in the prologue, which takes place around five years before the story proper. I admit that my track record with this author is somewhat patchy I’ve loved some books and have been ambivalent about others, but I liked the sound of this one (guy falls for his ex wife’s brother) and Tim Paige is a reliably good narrator, so I decided to give Off Limits a try. Given the premise of this, and of the next book in the series ( Pushing the Limits), I infer it will feature romances that are ‘forbidden’ for one reason or another. Our marriage is playing tricks on my heart because suddenly I’m wishing my happy ending can be with the husband who doesn’t think love is for him.Off Limits is the first in a new series by Riley Hart – Secrets Kept. He’s shown me I’m a sucker for praise, and lucky for me, he loves giving it to me. Better to amicably divorce later than own up to our screwup, right?Īll I’ve ever wanted is my happily ever after, and now I live with a serial hookup artist who never planned on settling down.īut then, why is Elliott so good to me? He takes me on dates, makes me laugh, and touches me like I’m someone to cherish. My parents had the perfect marriage until my mom passed, and since I’d hate for my father to discover what I did, Elliott and I decide to pretend we’re in love and stay married for six months. He doesn’t want to let them down by telling them it was a drunken mistake.

Novel:īefore we can figure out what to do, Elliott’s family finds out.
