First of all, Sawyer Bennett is AMAZING!!! That girl can tell one hell of a story and she has never disappointed me.  I fell in love with Off Sides first and since then have fallen in love with every other book in the series.  You would think since she started out with a hockey romance book in the series, they would all revolve around hockey, but she took a different route and made the series about the family members finding love in all sorts of places. I mean look at Renner, she found love in Dublin for god sakes...with a rockstar!Second of all, I want to make sure you know that there are NO CLIFFHANGERS in any of the books in this series.  Each and every one of these books (Off Sides, Off Limits, Off The Record and Off Course) have a happy ending.  Yes, they can be read as a stand alone book but it's so much better to read them in order because we continue to learn about the previous books main couple in the next books.  (I know that was a horrible run-on sentence, but you get my meaning)Cillian, what can I say about Cillian other than the fact that I find him incredibly hot!!! That boy knows what he has and uses it to get what he wants.  Five years earlier Cillian met Renner (seventeen years old at the time) at a bar he was performing at and took her upstairs to kiss her and maybe do a little more.  Renner wasn't ready for that and he said he was okay with that and said "Just Be You." So I'm thinking....how sweet! He knows she is young and inexperienced and he is going to handle her with kid gloves and go slowly.  Wrong! He tells her he will be back and she ends of seeing him sucking face with some groupie in the corner as she leaves.  I was kind of disappointed in Cillian, although I do realize she is not ready for him to be in her life or for her to be a part of his lifestyle yet.Renner comes back to Dublin five years later after being terminated from her last job under some rather embarrassing and public circumstances.  She essentially goes there to bury her head in the sand for a while so she can figure out where she wants to go next in life.  She takes a job at her Uncle's bar and runs into Cillian again.  She thinks he doesn't recognize her but she is oh so wrong.  He has been dreaming of her for years.  This night begins a game of cat and mouse and let me just give you a heads up, the cat eventually wins. ;)There were many obstacles along the way.  Renner had to get used to trusting Cillian to be truthful and faithful to her while having tons of women literally throwing themselves at him on a nightly basis.  Not only that, Renner's ex tries to make a last ditch effort to win her favor back.  And we find out about some very interesting skeletons in Cillian's closet that he will have to deal with.  Their biggest obstacle comes in the form of one extremely jealous and vengeful ex-girlfriend of Cillian's that is a certifiable psychopath.This book had everything I love in a story.  Intense passion, secrets, drama, and a third wheel testing the limits of their newly formed relationship.  In a nutshell, Sawyer writes a story that is believable.  There is no such thing as a perfect love story.  I want something real.  Something I can believe, but that also gives me a giddy and happy feeling at the end.  Sawyer has an amazing talent for being able to weave a story so good I'm disappointed when I get to the end of the book and realize I'll have to wait for the next one.  I rated this book at 4.5 Stars!  If you haven't read the rest of the series, I highly recommend you pick them ALL up and get up to speed, I promise you will love each and every book in this series. ;)
