I was so excited to read this book! I loved the entire Off Balance series and this book was a nice nostalgic walk down memory lane with these characters, Ria & Kova.
Complete with an interview with Kova and things cut from the original books in the series, I enjoyed all the material provided. You can not just pick up this book and read it, you would need to read the series first.
This isn’t an actual novel, it’s a companion book to the series. If you’re a fan of this world & characters, you’ll appreciate this for what it is…extra material.

In true Kova fashion, he won my heart AGAIN.
The deleted scenes, the Valentine letter, the diary entries, and the interview were all *chefs kiss* the interview cracked me up. Everything made me want to reread the series. I loved being sucked back into their world.
Getting to see more into Kova’s pov was exactly what I needed. Man I love to hate and love that man. He is everything.

How does a person adequately describe a surprise, a gift, a gem or that amazing Big O that creeps up on you when you are already laying in boneless satisfaction?
Out of Bounds was all the above wrapped into one!
Yes, all the above! I loved the Off Balance series to the point of obsession. It was so unique, fearless, well written and created characters you loved and hated with equality. Seriously, my love/hate relationship with every character in this series felt real! I will never forget the feelings I felt at the end of every book. I was stunned, bummed, might have plotted a murder, in my head, for an author a time or 5. To say the series was brilliant just doesn’t do it full justice.
So yes, Out of Bounds is the perfect gift. It takes me back into the world of Kova and Ria. It lets me surround myself with characters that I loved and have missed. It also shows me this author, Lucia Franco, cannot be broken. She may have gotten a bit beat up, bent, but not broken. I admire her tenacity, determination and the ability to give the one finger salute to all her haters. You go girl!
Thank you for this gift! I can’t express my gratitude with mere words. I have tears streaming down my face, from the sheer emotion, that finishing this companion book evoked.

It was so great to get more of Kova & Ria. I'll never be ready for their story to be over, so anything else I can get of these two is great. I immediately wanted to go back to the beginning. Looking forward to Avery and Xavier's books. I need more of this world and all these characters!
