    How does a person adequately describe a surprise, a gift, a gem or that amazing Big O that creeps up on you when you are already laying in boneless satisfaction?

    Out of Bounds was all the above wrapped into one!

    Yes, all the above! I loved the Off Balance series to the point of obsession. It was so unique, fearless, well written and created characters you loved and hated with equality. Seriously, my love/hate relationship with every character in this series felt real! I will never forget the feelings I felt at the end of every book. I was stunned, bummed, might have plotted a murd€r, in my head, for an author a time or 5. To say the series was brilliant just doesn’t do it full justice.

    So yes, Out of Bounds is the perfect gift. It takes me back into the world of Kova and Ria. It lets me surround myself with characters that I loved and have missed. It also shows me this author, Lucia Franco, cannot be broken. She may have gotten a bit beat up, a little bent, but not broken. I admire her tenacity, determination and the ability to give the one finger salute to all those who tried to bring her low. You go girl!

    Thank you for this gift! I can’t express my gratitude with mere words. I have tears streaming down my face, from the sheer emotion, that finishing this companion book evoked.

    Lucia, thank you for the interview from Kova, I am a new fan and wasn’t around during the dark days. I’m so so sorry for what people did to you. That is so cruel and unfair as you already know. My mom and I both have Lupus and it was inspiring to read about a strong char who has the same illness she and you have. Thank you for gifting us this series.

    Oh, how much I have missed these two. Adrianna and Konstantine will forever have a special place in my heart, more than anyone could know. It's one of my all-time favorite series.

    Out Of Bounds is the companion to the Off Balance series. You will find many deleted chapters from each book, making me hate to love Kova all over again. He still wins me in the end—bonus letter and notes between the two.

    Wow is all I can say about the interview with Kova. He spoke about Adrianna with such devoted love and intensity. I didn’t expect it. And it was a blubbering mess by the end.

    There is an added sneak peek chapters to an upcoming book I couldn’t be more ecstatic about. Is it Feb 2023 yet,?

    What killed me and left me with a heavy heart is The Open Letter and what the author went through and continues to go through. I can only Imagine how hard it was for her to write this. I will forever support this author.

    As the great LeVar Burton has said.”Read the books they're banning. That's where the good stuff is!”

    It's said to say goodbye. Luckily, we can re-read the series and hopefully read cameos in future books.

    I never read anything about this series online before I read it. All I knew was the general premise and that a booktuber I like highly recommend it. I didn't know that Amazon had banned the series initially and that the writer had to rewrite much of the story. Learning this certainly explained a lot of the inconsistencies in the series such as where it was set that never made geographical sense to me. Also, there were strange transitions from one scene to the next at times in the books. Now I know why. After reading the letter/journal entry at the beginning of this book that was part of the old version of the story, I'm glad it had to be rewritten. I found Kova's voice in that letter to be super creepy pedophile. If I had read that initially I would not have continued reading this series. Overall, I thought this book was unnecessary and just for the most diehard of fans. I did not need to read the outtakes, and the interview with Kova only marginally advanced the story. My favorite part was the preview of Avery and Xavier's story which I'm looking forward to reading.

    I’ve only ever said that about one other book and it was for a completely different reason and evoked completely different emotions in me.

    This book, visiting with these characters, catching glimpses of the beauty and tragedy that was them. I missed them. They own a part of my heart and there is no way I will ever forget them. Not willingly.

    Lucia is an incredible writer and a beautiful soul. I’m grateful she wrote this story, this series…especially because she paid a huge price for it (and I don’t mean a monetary price though I’m sure that also was a pretty penny). Within the words found in this books you can feel her heart.

    There’s nothing greater you can ask of an author than to write with her heart.

    There are quotes I wanted to share, and in a way I’m not ready to. I’m sure there will be other reviewers willing to do that, for now I want to hold those beautiful pieces close to my heart.

    As readers, when we love books so much they grow to be a part of us- not just in our kindles or on our shelves, but in our soul. The words intertwine through our veins and heart and stay with us forever. That’s what the off balance series is for me.

    Lucia is a talented author who has captivated our lives through many books about this forbidden relationship. We have waited patiently for Out of Bounds and it was everything I wanted it to be and more.

    Each bonus/deleted scene brought me back to all the feelings I felt while reading this the first time. The interview with Kova was perfection! And the notes that Lucia wrote were heartbreaking.

    And can I jump in a time machine now to make it february already for What’s Left of Me?

    The off balance series is up there in my favorite series group. I loved Kova and Ria and the crazy, frustrating journey they took me on.

    I feel like this didn't really add much that we needed to their overall story. Maybe if it came out closer to dismount then I would have felt more immersed.

    The open letter from the author was heartbreaking. What some authors and readers put her through is gross.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a series <3
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 8, 2022
    Have been dying to have this since Lucia first announced it, anything to jump back into this world! I don't usually leave a review but I feel compelled to after Lucia's letter.

    I stumbled across this series during the pandemic, from a TikTok on taboo romance. I missed the cyber bullying that Lucia had to endure and to see the impact this has had on Lucia and her health truly angers me! I almost wish they had been released during the pandemic when booktok was taking off, because Lucia is finally getting the recognition she deserves for the masterpiece that is the Off Balance series. It saddens me that we won't see as much of Ria and Kova going forward but I understand why. And I'm sure we will see bits of them going into Avery and Xavier's book. Which I also can't wait for!

    This series is consuming, heartbreaking and earth shattering. Its a love story with just about everything thrown at them. Lucia's writing is impeccable and I am in awe of her talent.
    She is literally the queen of smut and age gap romance. To say I am obsessed is an understatement. I have read this series 4 times now in 2 years, it's ironically my comfort series haha.

    If you are thinking about reading this series, don't! Prepare to have your life changed and for how much you will love Kova. I can't tell you how much I love this series 🖤.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A little insight into the series.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2022
    Please note this isn’t a normal book, it is a collection of deleted scenes, F&Q, Q&A with Kova and the first few chapters of Avery and Xavier’s story.

    First off it was so nice to be reading about Kova and Ari again, it bought the whole series back to me and I was here for it.
    I demolished this little book and ate up the little scenes, some you could see why Lucia decided not to add them and I loved her little comments before each scene.
    The Q&A made me laugh so hard, it was exactly Kova and was so nice to hear a little from his POV.

    The glimpse into Avery and Xavier’s story was just a massive tease and I cannot wait to read it next year. Bring on 2023.
