Trent and Kelsey are dealing with the same problems. They both have horrible dating records, are workaholics, are best friends with each other's siblings and have secret crushes on each other. When Trent's best friend, Liam, asks him to look after Kelsey while he is on deployment, Trent doesn't think that it will be too hard. The more time they spend together, the more their feelings for each other grow and it becomes harder to fight their attraction. The final problems they need to overcome are their siblings and insecurities.
Decidedly Off Limits is a friends to lovers, best friend's sibling romance in the By The Bay series. This was a good start to the series and the introduction to the characters. Trent had a real issue with jealousy through most of this book until he finally admitted to Kelsey how he felt about her and then he became quite the dirty talker. Kelsey seemed to be a little too uncertain of herself in everything but her job as a therapist. I did laugh and enjoy this story enough to want to continue on with the series. Both of the narrators, Tim Paige and Isabelle Ruther did a great job and I would definitely listen to them again.
