A surprise inheritance reunites a mixed martial arts fighter with the woman he's never forgotten in the first in a smoldering new series from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster…
Cannon Colter is quintessential hero material: chiseled jawline, shredded body—the works. He's also the guy who rescued Yvette Sweeny from kidnappers, only to put an end to her romantic dreams. These days, she's older, smarter, determined to face whatever life throws her way. Even the prospect of sharing a house and business with Cannon.
Cannon knew Yvette wanted him three years ago. But she was young—and some things are worth waiting for. Thrown together by her grandfather's legacy, he realizes how deep Yvette's scars really go, and how much danger lurks in their quiet town. As pent-up desire explodes between them, protecting her becomes the only fight that matters. And he'll break all the rules to do it…

No Limits is fast-paced, includes a great dose of suspense, and some sweet longing.
My No Limits review:
No Limits is the start of a new series, but it features characters from Foster’s Love Undercover series as well. Both Cannon and Yvette are really great characters, and since I’m a sucker for friends-to-lovers stories their relationship really did it for me. Yvette was in love with Cannon years ago, but he always pushed her away, now that they are both back in town, and kind of forced to live together thanks to Yvette’s grandfather’s will, Yvette wants to show him she’s a woman now.
Cannon can’t believe Yvette is still affecting him as strongly as she did years before, when he pushed her away because he thought she was too young, and then had his heart broken because she left him behind. They were both part of some very traumatic events in Dash of Peril, and I really enjoyed seeing how things worked out for them after that. It seems that not everything from that mystery has been completely resolved, because Yvette has a stalker, and the lawyer’s assistant is trying too hard to seduce Cannon.
The guys Cannon knows from his MMA fighting are really great, too. They are like family, but a little more dangerous since they all know how to fight. I really look forward to getting to know some of them better, and I am hoping for a story about Cannon’s sister and Armie. Because that would be such a complicated relationship, because Cannon is so protective of his sister.
The writing is really good, in third person past tense, the narrator is omniscient, and it made me feel like I knew more than the characters at times. The dialogues are witty and hot, and Yvette is quite sneaky when she wants to be. Cannon, however can see through a lot, which is good, if not there would be no romance for either of them.
If you’re looking for a great suspense romance that makes a nice blend of the hotness and the creepiness, you should pick up No Limits and enjoy it, I know I did!
Some of my favorite No Limits quotes:
Long muscles moved with each step he took. Water glistened on his shoulders. His still-wet hair sent a trickle down the deep furrow of his spine. And that little damp towel… how she envied it. Wrapped around his hips, it hugged his butt, showcasing the tight muscles there.
Intrigued by her reaction but not overly concerned, Cannon tipped his head to study her. One way or another, he’d win her over. For the foreseeable future he’d be under the same roof with her, in close proximity. anything and everything could happen. He’d see to it.

You know I haven’t read any of her books yet. As this is new and it sounds great, I should probably try a sample and see if I like it.
She really knows how to do the hot and steamy, Braine, and it’s truly a joy to read about her characters. They are awesome!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I love Lori Foster. I’ve not read many of her books but I’ve really enjoyed the ones that I have.
I just read the short novella before this one and I have the paperback looking back at me on my shelf. I plan on reading it this weekend.
I have just added her to my ‘auto-buy’ list of authors, Jennifer. Her writing is really good, and I always love her characters.
I hope you’ll enjoy No Limits as much as I did 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
No Limits sounds exciting, Lexxie. And I’m a sucker for friends-to-lovers, too. 😉 I’m glad this was such a great start for the series. I’m going to have to read it myself. 🙂
Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a lovely time!! **BIG HUGS**
Yeah, friends-to-lovers is the best! You are going to love No Limits, Brandee, I’m sure of it 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, my dear. *BIG HUGS*
I was already intrigued when you reviewed another one of Lori Foster’s books but now I really want to read one :)!
Yeah, her characters are worth the detour, Jirrine. The stories are well done, too, so it’s a win-win for me.
Thanks for stopping by.
The sweet longing does sound like something I would like to read so thanks for review and great to hear you enjoyed
Yeah, sweet longing always gets to me, and in No Limits, it’s pretty strong 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Brandi.

I haven’t read any of her books yet – but this does sound good. I’m a big fan of friends to lovers and I also love witty banter, that’s a favorite for me. Sounds like knowing the other series makes this one even better, which is fun. I’ll have to try and get to them sooner than later!
Yes, knowing the series this one is spun off from helps, but I think it would still be very good without knowing the other characters in advacne 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Berls!
I didn’t read your review on this one, because I am reading it soon, but I’m excited to get into it now that you gave it 4 Stars!!
