FACTS ABOUT OFF COURSE
By Sawyer Bennett
·
Some of you may know, but I’m an
attorney. I got the name Renner from one of the attorneys that was opposing us
on a case. I’d never heard that name before and thought it was beautiful and
strong. I vowed I’d use it in a story one day.
·
My cover model, Alex Johnson, who
represents Cillian O’Bradaigh, had two amazing tattoos on the inside of his
wrists that say “Love” and “Hope”. I decided to write those into the book and
we got an amazing promotional shot showcasing the tats. (insert photo if they
want)
·
The Hibernian Pub in the book is modeled
after a local Irish bar we have here in Raleigh, North Carolina by the same name.
It’s owned by a Dubliner and I promised to use the name in the book in exchange
for him letting us do the cover photo shoot there.
·
When I set out to write this book, I
wanted to create the most villainous agitator to date. I think I did that with
Maeve. She makes Ryan and Emily’s mom look like a saint, but sadly, she does
have some of her own demons that make her that way. Sometimes you will hate
her, and you may feel sorry for her on occasion. But then you’ll want to slap
her again.
·
I had fun throwing in some classic
Dublin/Irish slang into the book. Words like “Howeya”, “Eejit”, “Gobshite” and
“Bollocks” are not typos!
·
Cillian and Renner are classic
opposites. Throw into the mix that Cillian is a controlling Alpha, Renner is an
independent woman, and watch the sparks fly everywhere.
·
You will not get to see many of the
other Off characters in this book. Nix makes a hilarious appearance at the end,
and you get to meet Renner’s brother, Flynn, who will star in the 5th
and probably last book entitled Off Chance. You will get a lot of details on
all of the characters in Off Chance though, and their HEA’s will be fully
explored.

Review:
Off Course is a story about love and centers
around Renner Caldwell and Cillian O’Braidagh. She is the typical
good girl who follows the rules, instead of Cillian who is the classic bad boy.
Their first meeting took place in Ireland, while Cillian was singing with his
rock band - Over The Edge - in a
pub. It was attraction at first
sight. They also shared a kiss but then she returned home and he moved on. Five
years later, Renner starts to work in her uncle’s pub, in Dublin, and thinks about what to do in her life. Cillian is in Dublin too, he is a really famous
singer but unexpectedly he still remembers Renner.
I have never read one of Sawyer Bennet’s books, so I wanted to thank
AToMR Tour for giving me the opportunity to do that. I’ve fallen in love with
Cillian, this amazing Irish singer who never gives up on Renner and I really
appreciate Renner’s behavior. She is smart and brave. Even though Renner tries
not to be interested in Cillian, the chemistry between the two of them is very
strong. Their love story is different
from the ones I have ever had the chance to read. It’s magical and extremely realistic. I couldn’t help it but keep
on reading the book, everywhere and in every moment of the day and the night. Off Course is the sweetest drug.
A part of my love is also for Bennet’s writing, so natural and simple.
I’ve appreciated her irony and the way she describes the characters and the
situations. I’ve found everything so realistic that, for a moment, I’ve wished
to be here with the two lovers. Off Course was everything I’d hoped it would be
and I recommend it to everyone.
