There is a solid hook of an opening to this one when the leading lady Story Brooks (cheesy name but just go with it) is dumped two weeks before her wedding. So when her estranged dad has a heart attack it's the perfect excuse for her to jump a plane and put some distance between her and her, surprising to her, not too heart breaking heartbreak.  When she meets her dad's protege Daniel, who is clearly a player, the sparks fly and he is completely ensnared by her from the start. She's a bit more hesitant but can't resist the attraction and the smexy times begin, and keep on going with only minimal backstory for Daniel who has a reason for the way he's dealt with relationships - a reason which adds a vulnerability that made me believe that he could turn over a new leaf - and some brief peril that plays into the fact that Daniel and Story's dad are hostage negotiators.I think this is the last of my palate cleansing 'to heck with the story just give me some steamy stuff' reads - which is exactly what Entangled looks for in their Brazen line, the relationship starts with sex and love comes later - somewhere in the midst of lots more sex - and that is just what Officer Off Limits delivers.I liked this story for what it was, but this genre is still not a good fit for me because I am a less is more kind of girl and while the initial love scenes are hot, eventually the against the door action and such becomes too much of a good thing for me and I start skimming. Still, if that >is< what you are looking for, this was a decent enough smexy read and since I got this on Brazen's .99 b-day sale the price was definitely right.
