    About this audiobook

    I've spent my entire life under my father's thumb, but now I'm finally free to make my own choices. When my roommate dragged me to my first college party, I met Finn Coram and my life turned inside out. He knows how to break the rules and is everything I never knew I wanted. A Marine by day and surfer by night, he pushes me away even as our attraction brings us closer. Now I am finally free to do whatever I want. I know what I want. I choose Finn.

    I always follow orders. My job, my life, depends on it. I thought this job would be easy, all the rules were made crystal clear, but when I met Carrie Wallington, everything got muddy. She's a rule I know I shouldn't break, but damn if I don't inch closer to the breaking point each time I see her. I'm ready to step out of line. And even worse? I'm living a lie. They say the truth will set you free, but in my case...

    The truth will cost me everything.

      Carrie Wallington is finally off at college, finally away from her extremely overprotective father, and she finally feels like she can breathe. Growing up, she has never felt that her life was her own because someone has always been there watching over her, reporting back to her dad. She loves her first taste of freedom. Finn Coram is a Marine and he takes his duty very seriously. No matter what his assignment, even if it is one he isn't crazy about, he always manages to suck it up and follow orders, so this one shouldn't be any different, right? He knows who Carrie Wallington is. Yeah, he knows very well who she is, and he also knows who her dad is. Sure, she is really cute, but of course she's a spoiled rich socialite, or at least that is what he believes until he meets her face-to-face. He soon finds out that all his presumptions about this girl were totally wrong. Carrie is anything but a spoiled little rich girl, and the things she does, the person she is, beautiful on the inside and the outside, throws Finn completely off his game. Carrie thinks Finn is one of the hottest guys she has ever met. He's a surfer, rides a motorcycle, he's tattooed, and is also a Marine. For some reason, contrary to signals he's emitting, he claims he only wants to be friends, and Carrie wants so much more. The more time they spend together, the more the lines get blurred. Finn finds himself falling for this amazing girl who is strictly off limits to him, but he also harbors a secret that could completely destroy anything the two of them have together. Let me begin by saying I loved Finn. I also loved the fact that the book is written in both Carrie and Finn's point of view, so you get to see how each of them feel and know what they are thinking. I really liked Carrie to. She wasn't the spoiled brat at all, and in fact, she cared deeply for those less fortunate than her, something that had the propensity to get her into trouble if she wasn't careful. She did frustrate me a little towards the end with the way she treated Finn, but that also lets you see that she isn't too perfect. I enjoyed the romance that developed between these two and I loved watching them interact with one another. Finn really struggled with his feeling for Carrie, and tried his best to keep things friendly. There are some pretty hot romantic scenes and the chemistry between Carrie and Finn is sizzling. Finn's feeling for Carrie are sincere, but when everything comes to a head and the proverbial s**t hits the fan, he has to face the fact that it might just be too little to late. Out of Line is a fun, sexy, and entertaining romance that I really did like. It is fast paced and doesn't take too long to read, and it isn't too heavy, which I also enjoyed. It does end in a cliff hanger, giving you a WTH moment. I didn't mind it too much because I am pretty sure, or at least I think I have an idea about what that involved, but I still can't wait for the sequel, Out of Time (Out of Line #1.5) to come out and find out what happens. Out of Line is a fun story and if you are a contemporary romance fan, this is something you might want to check out.

      Out of Line by Jen McLaughlin is the first book in the Out Of Line series. From the moment Finn and Carrie meet and interact I was getting a very strong First Daughter vibe, and I absolutely freaking loved it. He's sent there to protect her and keep her blissfully unaware of that fact but he's falling for her and no matter what he tries, he's only falling deeper and deeper.She's relived that her senator father has relented and allowed her to attend college across the country WITHOUT her own squad of "Men In Black" tailing her around. She has no idea that the one person she's starting to fall in love with is the lone agent sent there to watch over her.Can a love so new survive the secrets and deception?Jen McLaughlin/Diane Alberts has a perfect record for me so far. Every book I have read from her I have enjoyed immensely! On to Book two...

      For all you woman out there, that like a sexy tattooed Marine who will make your heart throb, this is a book for you! It's a sweet story about Finn and Carrie who meet in a weird coincidental way after a frat party. Carrie has only wanted to enjoy her college years to the fullest, but she's been a senator's daughter, and has been scrutinized and judged before she can open her mouth. Can't she live a normal life despite her last name? Carrie is a good girl, with a good head on her shoulders and no intention of becoming anyone other than who she already is. The only thing holding her back is the constant surveillance she's under because of her fathers position as senator. Finn is the one to give her the normalcy she's looking for. Even though he first thought Carrie was a rich snobby girl who lived in riches, he soon realizes his first impression of her is completely wrong, and stops fighting the love he feels for her. You'll soon read about how he is a mother watering sex god that will induce dirty thoughts and wet panties. Carrie and Finn are clearly meant to be together. You don't have that kind of chemistry without being meant for one another. The story line flows great and the author gives you a great sense of who the characters are, and I could clearly picture them in all their half naked glory. It captivated me from the beginning and I read the book from cover to cover in one sitting. It's fast paced, and keeps you wanting more after each paragraph. I give this book 5/5, but be warned, it's full of R rated scenes that will have you melting as you get to know these two characters.

      She was so beautifully off limits that it hurt.

      Do you ever find those books that are just imperfectly perfect? No unnecessary drama, no unbelievably ridiculous would-never-happen-in-the-real-world situations, no miscommunication? Full of real life, full of first love, full of hot, strong 100% maleness? Well, for me, THAT is this book! I was effortlessly drawn into their world from page one. Not only did I feel like I had always lived there, but I never wanted to leave. There wasn’t anything over-the-top that happened, no OMG moments, but like I said, it was perfectly imperfect, and I loved EVERY second!

      For that brief second, the time that our mouths hovered close to each other, I knew I hadn’t made a mistake in falling for him. I had fallen hard, and there was no going back.

      Carrie is the daughter of a senator (possible president-elect) and attending college across the country on her own…or so she thinks. Finn (a Marine) has been hired to watch over her, without her knowing. Like moths to the flame, they are inexplicably drawn together. What ensues was so delicious; I simply couldn’t put the book down. There isn’t a SINGLE thing I would change. After the past few angsty reads I have had, it was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. LOVED it! 4.5 stars from me!

      She laid her head against my chest, directly over my heart. Did she know she owned it yet?
