Tall, Dark and Off Limits: A brother's best friend romance

It's bodyguard Zack's job to protect his best friend's sister. Just one problem: social media influencer Ava is also the woman he's had a forbidden crush on for years. Keeping her safe from a stalker isn't his biggest challenge. Keeping his hands to himself is. Especially once he realizes the attraction is mutual. Zack and Ava are a great couple with a ton of chemistry. She's not the kind of woman to do as she's told, but he won't let anything get in the way of protecting her. If you like the bodyguard and best friend's sister tropes, you'll enjoy this steamy romance. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Tall, Dark and Off Limits was an emotional, sweet, and sexy forbidden romance with a touch of suspense. Ava Maddox runs her successful branding and marketing business, and also loves making mini documentary videos to promote her clients. When someone trolls her social media sites, discrediting her, she turns to her brother's business partner and friend, security specialist, Zack Austin. She isn't happy to show him her vulnerability, especially after throwing herself at him years ago after too much to drink and nothing happened. Now she must trust that he can help her save her business while she protects her heart. Zack has fought his attraction to Ava for years, not believing he is worthy of her. But when her life is in danger he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even at the risk of his heart. As they work together, trying to stay professional, their walls slowly crumble and they soon give in to their fiery attract. But life is complicated, and when the trolls ramp up their attacks, can they trust each other with their hearts and life? My heart broke for Zack as he struggled to believe that Ava really cared for him. Ava had her own past heartbreak she was struggling to overcome. I loved how they helped each other grow stronger and find confidence in themselves and each other. This emotional, and sizzling romance is a captivating conclusion to the Men of Maddox Hill trilogy.
