He shouldn’t touch me, but he does.

Late one night, in the middle of danger, he makes me feel things I shouldn’t.

And I know I shouldn’t want more…but I do.

Because hooking up with me? It could cost him his life.

Lucky…isn’t. In fact, she’s considered ‘off limits’ to the Bedlam Butchers because she’s caused them nothing but bad luck in the past. As a bonus? She’s also the president’s kid sister. Single and lonely? That’s Lucky’s way of life. Now, the Eighty-Eight Henchmen are harassing her and they’re out for blood.

Solo…is. In a club where pairing up with a brother to watch your back is mandatory, Solo still hasn’t gotten over his partner’s death two years ago. The club’s pressuring him to name a second Treasurer, but he has to trust that person in bed and out. And it’s damn hard for Solo to trust.

But when he rescues Lucky from the Eighty-Eight, maybe it’s time for Solo to find a partner, and time for Lucky’s luck to turn around…

Off Limits is the first novella in the Bedlam Butchers MC series but it’s also part of The Motorcycle Clubs series (see the bottom of this review for more information). Unfortunately, Off Limits was my least favorite of the four novellas I’ve read so far. It was still a good read, just not a great one. The lead characters were okay but nothing special. Something that didn’t sit well with me was Lucky (the heroine) and Solo (the hero) getting down and dirty while hiding from a rival MC who wanted to gang rape Lucky. That doesn’t seem like the best time to be getting sexy. But the thing that annoyed me to no end was the characters going back and forth between real names and nicknames, sometimes in the same paragraph. It was so distracting.

The possibility of a woman being patched into the Bedlam Butchers MC was interesting. I’m curious to see how the rest of the club will vote in regards to a woman being patched in. Another interesting element in this MC is that they have two club presidents and two vice presidents. Not sure why that is but it’s different. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Bedlam Butchers MC series, which features both presidents (Gemini and Domino).

Memorable Moment:

“You want it slow and easy, or hot and dirty?”

Oh God. Choices, choices.

”Hot and dirty.”
