 Letting you go made me sit back and re-evaluate everything. I asked myself a lotta questions about what I wanted, and all of β€˜em had you in the answer. I realized that I want to be happy, and I need ya here for that to happen. That's what’s changed. Gimme a week, and I’ll make you realize that you belong here with me.” Maisie doesn’t even blink as she listens to my speech,
 
First Impressions
No Limits is the second book in the "Corrupt Cowboys" and the conclusion to the duo series of Garrett and Maisie. I definitely enjoyed this book much more than I did the first book. It just had more to the romance, their connection and the plot building for the family that I was beyond intrigued by. I also couldn't put this one down, and it definitely had a stronger consuming feel than the first book had. The beginning starts intense but not quite in the way that you expect it to. The romance was brilliantly done in this one, and I just adored the "much couple page time" that we actually got here.

First Line
"So, what do you think of the view?" Kieron steps up behind me and rests his hands on my shoulders.

The Main Protagonists
 The Hero: Garrett
 The Heroine: Maisie

Summary
This book continues three years after the first book "Off Limits" Maisie is living in California, trying to move on from her broken heart as is Garrett. Garrett is busy trying to keep the harm Cora did to their family's ranch from causing fall back onto the ranch and this is where we see healing happen between the Carson Ranch and the "Dirty Souls MC". Cora's being murdered and Maisie is coming back to the ranch, and this time, Garrett is determined to win over his girl, no matter what it takes. Maisie has never been able to move on, Garrett is part of her, and when she returns to him, she doesn't fight what they have. But there are dangers around the corner, and it will take the whole family coming together to protect what they love the most....

What I Loved
WHEW this book was pretty great! Now it wasn't a five star or anything, but it knocked me off my seat and I was totally consumed by it. I think it would have been fine to not have a duology but just have one book since they were only a little over 200 pages. But hey it helps my goodreads challenge so not complaining too much lol

 β€œYou know you're crazy? Normal guys find a girl they like, they take her on a few dates, see how things work out. Not you. You break a girl's heart, you leave her suffering for three years, then tell her you want her babies and give her half your assets.” β€œYeah well, normal gets boring real quick,

I really enjoyed seeing Garrett and Maisie truly come together in this one. The angst between them was kept to a minimum and we really get to see them build a relationship together and all the happy couple page time was brilliant. I loved that it wasn't dragged all the way out until the end. That we got to see their "honeymoon" stage. I also appreciated how this author developed the other plot line. I am really intrigued by the brothers and their stories, but man the third act in this story was a bit heartbreaking and I really felt for Cole. I do wish we had received more answers than we did but hopefully that happens in the next upcoming books in the series. I also enjoyed what we see for Maisie and Garrett. That Garrett struggles with what he has to do, but seeing Maisie become his true partner and their reveal of their triples was AWESOME! Loved that for them but its going to be a crazy madhouse for them.

 
I hate being the man who hurt her, and I hate to think of the time she spent trying to heal herself. But I will be the man who fixes it, and Maisie Wildman will not regret waiting for me.
 

What I Struggled With
The ending lol this slight cliffhanger wasn't needed. I know why this author wrote it, cause it makes you want to binge into the next two books haha but I don't know how I feel about that ending.

Overall View
No Limits was a superb installment that melted my heart, kept my spirit thrilled and inspired my mind to not want to let go of this story until the end....CAPTIVATING!
