A sweet story. Ellie has low self esteem and not much of a backbone. She’s drifting thru college, doesn’t know what she wants to do and has very little emotional support from either her parents or her brother, Cal. Ellie and Cal are only a couple yrs apart, go to the same college, but rarely see each other or talk, largely due to Cal not wanting Ellie to hang around him or his football friends. He thinks he’s “protecting” Ellie from his jerk friends. Ellie just thinks her brother hates her.
Cal’s roommate and best friend, Simon, is a left tackle on the football team. He’s a big quiet guy, kind of an introvert and has been attracted to Ellie from the moment her met her but has stayed away due to Cal’s misplaced overprotectiveness. That all changes when Ellie ends up at their doorstep looking for a place to spend the night after a misunderstanding with her roommate.
Simon and Ellie first try to fight off their growing attraction and sexual tension but in the end, they give in. They agree to keep it from Cal and everyone else and sneak around to see each other. Of course, as they both get deeper into their feelings and the relationship grows, things come to a head.
In the process, Ellie finds her backbone with Simon’s support and after a little bit of angst, some misspoken words and the realization that they were meant to be together, Simon and Ellie find their HEA.
It’s dual POV, no OW, no cheating, a couple of interesting side characters that I hope appear in other books. It’s wonderful to see Ellie grow and become more confident in her decisions, and to realize she can stand up for herself. And Simon is just so sweet and patient and understanding. He’s perfect for Ellie and stays a good friend to Cal.

About the author
4.5 Stars
There is nothing I love more than discovering a new to me author and Jerica MacMillan wowed the pants off me! Off Limits is a brother’s best friend/sports romance. It was so good that I read it in one sitting and laughed out loud hard while doing so. Simon and Ellie are university students. He’s a senior and on the football team working his way towards the majors and she’s a confused sophomore, still trying to find herself. As her brother’s best friend and roommate, Simon is off limits (even if he melts her butter). As his best friend and teammates sister, Ellie is beyond off limits (even if she owns real estate in his mind). The whole “off limits” thing becomes a mute point when the two cannot keep their hands off each other. I loved Simon. He is not your typical football player and I liked that about him. I liked that he wanted the girl and was willing go after her and willing to face the consequences of his actions. Ellie I liked a little bit less, but by the end of the book was rooting for her to get her man. Off Limits was a great way to get to know a new to me author and I look forward to reading more by her. TBR and Enjoy!
