I can't tell you enough how much I love this series.  I can say without a doubt that it is one of my favorites.  In Off Course we get to meet Cillian O'Bradaigh - Rock star, Irish hottie, tattooed, pierced, dominant, cocky, bad boy, and as hot as they get.  Let me just say up front that Sawyer Bennett knows how to create and write about hot guys, and she has delivered yet another one of her masterpieces in Cillian O'Bradaigh.  Renner Caldwell is the cousin of Nix and Linc, who we met in Sawyer Bennett's earlier books in the series (which were awesome to by the way).  She first meets Cillian when she visits her cousins in Ireland when she is 17 years old.  He is a good friend of her cousin Cady's, and he and his band are just starting out. Renner captures Cillian's attention when he first lays eyes on her, and he in turn, more than captures Renner's.  He makes quite an impression on Renner, both good and bad, after he gives her the best kiss of her life, is completely understanding when she says no when things get too hot and start going too far, and then pisses her off royally (even though she won't admit it) when she sees him kissing another girl shortly after.Now 5 years later, Renner is back in Dublin working at her uncle's restaurant, trying to put the pieces of her life back together after a devastating incident that occurred in relation to her job.  She can't say that she hasn't thought about Cillian over the past 5 years, because she has, quite a bit.  What she doesn't know and never expected, is that Cillian would remember her, very well actually, and has thought about her more than she knows, and more than he would like to admit.  Cillian's band is called OTE (Over the Edge).  He is the lead singer/guitarist, and over the past 5 years they have become one of the most popular rock bandsaround.  To say that he is a ladies man would be putting it mildly.  He oozes with sex appeal and could have any woman he wants, and he has decided he wants Renner.  Renner, however, remembers all too well how things went 5 years ago, and as much as she and her body would like, she refuses Cillian's advances, which only makes him more determined.  The chemistry between these two is off the charts hot, and try as she may, Renner can't deny it, or how much she wants him, cocky dominant attitude and all.  When she finally gives in, the results are mind blowing and explosive in nature for both of them.  As much as Cillian would like to think it's just about sex with Renner, he knows it isn't, and Renner knows the same thing, only Cillian isnot the level-headed, predictable type of guy that Renner would ever go for, or is he?  Of course, Cillian is only in it for sex, at least that is what he tries to tell himself, but somewhere along the way the lines get really blurred, and he has to figure out just what he really wants from this beautiful girl who has invaded his thoughts in a way he never though possible.Cillian's past catches up with him, bringing with it lies, guilt, deceit, and feelings of obligation, forcing him to make a choice between his past and a potentially very promising future.  Whether the path he chooses bring him happiness, or destroys any chance he has at it remains to be seen.I loved this story, everything about it.  It captured my attention from beginning to end, and I just loved Cillian, despite his flaws, and I loved Renner to.  The story is filled with passion, romance, pain, love, forgiveness, and of course, really hot sex.  I enjoyed watching the relationship develop between these two, and though they have really hot chemistry, they have to grow into the falling in love part.  I enjoyed getting to know the other characters in the book, as well as catching glimpses of characters from the past books in the series, and I especially love the rocker aspect of the story, and I even loved to hate Maeve.  The ending was so good, and yes, Sawyer Bennett gives us an epilogue, which something I just love, and at the same time sets up the scene for the final book in the series, which I absolutely cannot wait for.  If you are a fan of New Adult Contemporary Romance, then Off Course and the Off Series is a must read, and something you definitely want to check out.
