The Off Limits Rule
Adams, Sarah
Audiobook

I have found rock bottom: moving in with my older brother because I'm too broke to afford to live on my own. It's okay though, because we've always been close and I think I'm going to have fun living with him again. That is, until I meet Cooper... Turns out, my brother has very strong opinions on the idea of me dating his best friend—he's dead set against it. According to him, Cooper is everything I should stay away from: flirtatious, adventurous, non-committal, and freaking hot. (I added that last part because I feel like you need the whole picture.) My brother is right—I should stay away from Cooper James and his pretty blue eyes. He's the opposite of what I need right now. Nah—who am I kidding? I'm going for it.
