Have you ever been the villain of the good girl’s story? That’s the role I find myself in. After giving my best friend Shay, and brother Lochlyn, the ultimatum of a lifetime, I’m left to pick up the pieces of their relationship. The one I broke. Somebody like me – selfish and conceited Chelsea – doesn’t deserve redemption. It’s what I tell myself as I start to fall for the one person I definitely shouldn’t: My brother’s best friend. It’s bad enough that the chemistry is on fire; his brilliant good looks don’t make it any easier. Maybe I’m just a hopeless hypocrite and have jinxed myself with a love I can’t pursue, or worse, one that I’m not even worthy of. Should I be the one setting limits before I receive an ultimatum of my own? Setting Limits is an adult romance novel, intended for audiences 18 and older. Content warnings include strong language, explicit sexual scenes, mature situations, alcohol use, and mentions of abandonment.

First things first -- if you disliked Chelsea in Off Limits, for quite a while in Setting Limits, you are going to dislike her too. But you will also get an explanation for some of her actions. Is she right? No, but there are reasons behind her behavior, and they are legitimate. Chelsea certainly had some over the top reactions, but she feels everything very deeply. She acts out because she wants to preserve what she feels and what she has; she holds tightly because she doesn't want to lose it. The other thing you'll learn is that she's harder on herself than anyone else could be (something we share, interestingly enough).
Second and probably most importantly, there is a lot of growth in being open about her feelings and fears for Chelsea in this book and while some of that comes from Shay and Lochlyn, the majority of it is because of Weston. Hooo boy, dominant, strong, sexy Weston! He doesn't take the brat behavior from Chelsea and he pushes her to be honest and open about what she is thinking and feeling. He knows her as well as she knows herself and sometimes knows what she's thinking before she says it -- hold onto that guy, Chels!! It's nice to see them get their chance!
0I have to say shayna put the disclaimer about not liking Chelsea, but I've loved her since book one and I love her even more in book two!! And Wes is ugh chefs kiss! I was sucked in form the first letter on the page ! In a short 3 hours I was wanting more! 5 stars for sure ! Chelsea is by far my favorite. This story had so many swoon worthy moments
