My Review:

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love is a quick visit back to the characters of Oakley Island. It's labeled as a Christmas romance, but very little of the story has to do with Christmas. It's a fun second-generation story.

In this short novella, we briefly see all the characters from Oakley Island, but the main story is Izzy and Liam's long-overdue romance. There are quite a few assumptions on Izzy's part, but once Liam is let in on her thoughts, things are quickly cleared up.

The majority of the story was Izzy and Liam's relationship, and as they have known each other their entire lives, there's not much buildup, and not a lot of story. They make out a lot, prank their family a little, and basically just enjoy each other.

Overall, I would have liked to see more character development. However, if you are looking for a quick fluff read and have read the other Oakley Island books, then I would recommend you grab this one.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

Getting over your childhood crush is never easy. Especially when your family is full of meddling matchmakers. I’ve tried my whole life to curb my feelings for Liam, who is NOT my cousin, even if our family is like, well, family.

After he brought a girlfriend home for the holidays last year, I decided it was high time for my crush to finally die. And since we haven’t run into each other at all since then, it’s been easy. (If not altogether effective.) Even our family stopped trying to push us together.

But then Liam walks into my office just before Christmas and I find out he’ll be working here as a consultant. Oh—and he got special permission from my boss to have me directly under him.

Then, when my building suddenly (and somewhat suspiciously) has to undergo emergency fumigation and I need a place to stay, Liam offers me his guest bedroom.

Oh, joy and holiday cheer.

But finding out Liam is single and not practically engaged—it changes everything. Is it possible I just might get my longest-held Christmas wish?

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love is a second-gen novella in the Oakley Island Romcom Series. Books in the series are full of sizzling chemistry and tension with just kisses.
