Welcome to Manning Maine, South Carolina. At South Carolina's top college a girl named Jade Allen attends— a girl who likes to have fun. A girl who had her heart stepped on by Layden Malcolm, A girl who slept with her gorgeous best friend with his own reputation; Nate the easy lay Williams, A girl who crushes on a stranger from the dorm hallway named Dean Walker a guy who also has a reputation; one with a saying too "Walk-er on outta there".
What happens when all four collide and you throw a twin brother into that mix and five collide? Jade Allen gets herself stuck in situations with all four men. When you’re being tugged at which way do you go? The best friend who ignored you after some fun? The ex-boyfriend who cheated on you with a fake bimbo blonde? Dean "walk-er on outta there" who she named Mr. Chiseled or the twin who is relentless in pursuing her?
Follow Jade as she mentally curses herself for the situations she finds herself in. She refuses to give away her heart again. Why can't she have a little fun too? Why can't she have a nickname too? She quickly learns she's special to all these men and a storm is quickly brewing.
She learns you can have mind blowing sex on a card table, bathroom stall, a communal shower in her dorm, a Range Rover and a few other places.
Follow Jade, her men and her friends in “Jades College Diaries”.
I usually don't read these types of companion novells, but I loved the "strictly stuck" so much and was going through with draws for the second book, so I went against my nature, and I'm glad I did. It was just as captivating as book one. I read "Seize Me" by Crystal D Spears and have been hooked on the this author since. If you haven't given her books a try she is a definite recommend from me.
Strictly Off Limits is an intro to the next book of the "Jade's College Diaries"- Say Shamrock What?. Needles to say that this is a short story.
I really liked Jade. She is super different from all the main female characters I'm used to reading, but that didn't bother me at all. She is a young woman who knows exactly what she wants (ok. She kinda of knows what she wants). And ain't this girl lucky? Four men chasing her ass! Whew! What a dream...
I absolutely loved her behaviour towards all the guys. She treated each one the way they should be treated. And I didn't feel the need to feel sorry or anything when she treated one of them bad. Believe me,they deserved it.
All of the guys were drool worthy. ALL OF THEM. And those brothers are DAMN HOT! My God, I want them. They are all tatted up and pierced...NHAM!
Jade is having a really good time at college. She goes to wild parties and gets nasty with even wilder men. She has “eat me” tattooed in a rather suggestive spot. She has piercings in delicate areas. Her best friend is Nate who she hooks up with and then he stops talking to her. She then starts messing around with Dean who has twin brothers Brayden and Layden, her ex-boyfriend. Jade has sex with one guy on a card table and then a different one in a bathroom stall. Jade's friends start calling her Shamrock because of her luck and having four hot men trailing after her. ““But, this right here,” I pat my chest “my heart is off limits and I mean strictly off limits,” I whisper my voice breaking.” “My problem being four intensely hot guys and me not wanting to give my heart up!” Sheesh. I wish I had her problems. The author says this of the story: “I came up with this story from a dream. I sat down and typed it up in ten hours not stopping for even a second.” I wish I had your dreams, Crystal. Yum. This novella is so hot and steamy. I was really liking it. Ready for the next story Ms. Spears.
And when I'm talking about it pouring, I mean Jade Allen's life is full of hot men chasing after her. After sleeping with her best friend Nate, she has been wanting for years, on a poker table, he starts ignoring her.(idiot) But when he realizes his mistake, he's too late. She meets Dean "walk- er on outta there". Mr Chiseled. Come to find out Layden on, the cheating ex is Dean's brother. So not only is there those 3, then Layden, Dean & Nate after her, but throw in a brother in the mix!! Can't wait to find out what happens next......
I think people are missing out not buying this one its funny sexy and witty and just different.......

Short, sweet, sexy and just what I liked. I will now go to bed dreaming of three brothers and a best friend. Maybe I can be like Jade, I really wish I could be like Jade. Drink up the Jade Water I hear it is really tasty! Now I bought the other books and I will say the Smile cover is hot too!
So from a chick lit book that is what I would say juicy, should there be a message? I think not. We read authors like this because thet satisfy a need. As for Jade, she is clearly described, as well as her roomie and BFF. If you are sheltered, don't know what a bar bell is, or a prude, do me a favor and don't read it.
My thoughts are just that I loved it and I am naughty and proud
I really enjoyed this book, but i did think it was way to short. I did like how it got straight to the point and i mean straight to the point lol. I cant wait to see who Jade picks and how she deals with her shamrock loves.
This story is about a girl who is in college and keeps giving her heart away to the wrong guys who keep breaking her heart. But when she sleeps with her best friend things take her for a world wind when people from her past come back into play. You have 4 guys trying to win Jades heart but she tells them her heart is strictly off limits.
It takes author Crystal Spears a little time to work up to the erotic parts of her novella, "Strictly Off Limits" - the first paragraph simply leads up to some graphic (and admittedly quite hot) sex in the next two paragraphs.
Jade Allen is torn between an attraction for four - yes, 4 - different guys on campus. She is trying her best not to lose her heart to any of them, at least not yet - her innocence, however, is entirely another matter. I liked Jade (and not just because I knew what the character was doing to show any returned affections). Rather, I wanted to learn more about her - what are her hopes and dreams OUTSIDE of the bedroom? (And the shower. And on top of the card table. And ... But I digress again.)
Ms. Spears states at the end of the novella that she spent 10 straight hours documenting this novella, basing it on a dream she'd just had. The work has more depth than that statement would imply, and I am impressed with the pacing she has used to move the plot (and the sex) along.
The unfortunate part, however, is that Ms. Spears did not trust a competent editor to review her work. Perhaps she believed it an unnecessary investment in time and/or money - and if you're only reading this for the steamy parts, that's probably an accurate statement. Still ... I would encourage her to send this to a 3rd party for review and comment. For example, there's one paragraph - PARAGRAPH - that is the equivalent of 1 1/2 pages long, stretching from the bottom of one page, across another, ending at the top of a 3rd. Even us techie-types, known for cramming long thoughts together, try to start a new paragraph long before that! In addition, language and grammar need work - for example, "your" vs. "you're" are constantly misused.
There's a sequel in the works. If reaction to it is similar to this one, I'm sure there's an entire series coming, perhaps to be gathered together into a full-length work. I know the author is capable of, to paraphrase Eddie Murphy in "Coming to America", "exciting my intellect as well as my loins," and I hope SHE knows she's capable of it, too.
DISCLOSURE: I won an electronic copy of this novella during an online launch party, but cannot remember whose party or for which book - I just remember that Crystal Spears was only a guest, and neither the host nor the honoree at the event.
SOL is the epitome of sexiness. No, really though. Just a couple of sentences in, and it becomes increasingly obvious that the readers will be hot and bothered for the rest of the book.
Shamrock, much?
Jade is one lucky gal for having four ─ four ─ fantastic, almost-too-good-to-be-perfect guys chasing after her. It made sense for her to be torn between them. But how on earth did she get these boys to be hot on her tails, anyway? Is it her hazel eyes? Or is the tattoo, and the hoop? Or is it just pure luck?
This or That?
Four guys? Shouldn't that be more than enough? Uh, no. Not when each and every one of them has different personalities, with different looks. All good-looking, though, no worries. Even I'm indecisive when it comes to these hunks. Do you want the ex-bestfriend who went Bermuda Triangle on you after a sexy time on the card table, or the "walk-er on outta there" Mr. chiseled who is determined to stay in? Would you rather the ex-boyfriend who still have his hold onto your heart despite "accidentally" cheated on you with a fake, blonde bimbo, or the other twin, who is hell-bent on getting a piece of you?
Can you still choose only one without longing for the other? I think not! Well, I'm leaning more towards Layden for now. But we'll see.
Say What?
Not enough. That's what I thought when I got to the last page. Lucky us, the next installment ─ the first book in the novella series ─ is going live today! Feb 16th, mind you. I look forward to it!
Let me begin by saying WOW! Holy HOTNESS!! Mind blowing sex on card table, bathroom stall & communal shower in Jade's dorm. Writing about this is making my panties WET!! Throw in pierced penis, tattooed pussy and pierced nipples is just icing on the cake!
Jade Allen's college life is full of lust is all I can say. She has a huge problem. That problem is she has 4 intensely hot guys crushing on her and she not wanting to give her heart up again to anyone after what happened with Layden.
Layden, her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her now wants forgiveness and fucking HOT! Nate, her once best friend she drools over for 2 years finally slept together ignores her now regrets that is also fucking HOT! Dean, oh my, he's my favorite is sweet, considerate, caring and fucking HOT as well! Lastly, Brayden, Layden's twin brother is also fucking HOT as hell!
Will she be able to choose and decide if she can risk giving her heart away again? Does she really have to choose? Can't she just have some fun? How often will you have 4 guys lust over you?
This book is definitely not for the weak of hearts! BEWARE! DEFINITELY NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 17!
I really enjoyed this book! It was a quick read and definitely had some steamy scenes. Who wouldn't want to read about hot guys with piercings and tattoos?! It is about a girl named Jade who is in college. She has her heart broken by her ex Layden, and then goes on to sleep with her best friend Nate only to have him start ignoring her. But it doesn't end there. She meets another sexy guy Dean, and then her ex and Nate want her attention again. Oh and let's not forget the twin that wouldn't mind having her! Jade gets herself in this situation with all four guys wanting to pursue her but is afraid to give her heart away again. SO, what's a girl to do? I can't wait to read more of Jade's story..
Jade’s life is a complete mess. She has four guys who want her and she doesn’t know who she wants. The guys are not making it an easy choice; they want her and don’t intend to give her up so easily. The crazy thing is that all of the guys know each other some in more ways than one, which makes this book a fantastic read with hot sex scenes. This book will definitely keep you interested and is worth reading. Yes, it ends with a cliffhanger but I am dying to know who she will choose. This is a great start to the book and I cannot wait to read more.
This was an incredibly hot short story into the life of a college aged woman who is just realizing for the first time that she is a wanted woman. Nothing fake on this one, well besides her nails. I loved that part!! LOL We go from one hot scene to the next, living life, finding eroticism and being with more men then she can handle. And what a cliff hanger at the end!!! You will definitely want to finish this book all in one sitting.
What a spicy read!! I can only imagine how dorm life would be. Jade has run into a little bit of luck or a whole lot of trouble you decide. Her friends call her "Shamrock" because of all the attention she is getting from 4 totally delicious guys. I was caught up in the book so much that I could not believe it was suddenly over. Can't wait till the next book comes out!
Won my copy in a Giveaway. The story revolves around a promiscuous young woman and her sexual adventures. Well written sex, but that's all it is. The writer is good, and could have done a great book just with the subject matter in this short novella- I feel cheated of the author's full potential as she has a great writing style. Worth the read, but I wish it had been more developed.
ok first off wow this short book was a very steamy catching book full of yummyness. this book had me gripped from beginning to end with it's wonderful yummyness. if you haven't read this book yet then you are missing out.
Holy Hotness, I just finished Strictly Off Limits (Jade’s College Diaries 0.5) by Crystal D. Spears and I loved it! Yep, a love triangle like no other….Seriously, Jade I love her and her little hussy self! Did I mention she has 4 HOT SEXY guys chasing her and she can’t choose just one. So, there’s Nate her playboy best friend who she has had a thing for since freshman orientation, but they were never more than friends. Then the twins with their dark skin, jet black hair, and charcoal piercing eyes ***swooning*** over Brayden and Layden ***cough*** Umm I want them both tehehehehe! Oh and did I mention they have tattoos and piercings…Yes, I am a sucker for bad boys! ***sigh*** Last but not least Dean (walk-er on outta there) Walker is the sexy, sweet, charming, playboy that hmmm has a piercing that would make any girl’s panties wet! He was a little wordy throughout the story for a college guy, but I have to say I was swooning over him wordy or not.
Are you interested yet? You totally should be this is one HOT story that had me hooked! It’s a short novella and this series will be in six installments. It recently received a makeover too with a new title and cover. The new cover is total HOTNESS! Spears did a phenomenal job on this novella! I cannot wait to finish the series. It was well written and kept me engaged throughout the story! I read it in one sitting because she had me hook, line, and sinker! I will definitely be continuing the series and best of all each book is scheduled to be released about a month apart so you don’t have to wait long! After reading this series I seriously want to go back to college! Stay tuned for my next review of Strictly Stuck (Jade’s College Diaries, Strictly Series #1). I cannot wait to find out who Jade chooses! Since I loved this story I am going to gift a copy to one lucky reader! Visit Seductive Romance Reviews on Facebook to enter to win a copy.
So I have to say great work for just taking a MASSIVE leap and just outright publishing the book before it was edited, I like the way Jade is such a head strong young woman who dose not give a crap about anyone and what they may think of her. I like that Jade is not the shy type and interested in trying new things .
I like a hot head female character but boyoooo does JADE HAVE A POTTY MOUTH LOL
Jade is hot, young and wanted by not one....not two..... but four farking hawt college guys like really who wouldn't be a little jelly over a chick dating all the hot beef cakes at once. The story is a short one but pretty jam packed with potty mouthed, sex and heart ache for jade but we will see what the next books hold in store for us.
I was lucky enough to be given a copy of this book by the author and, as I was reading the first couple of pages, I was not sure and then the story just exploded! Yes she is a self confessed hussy, yes they all probably drink to much, get to many tattoos and piercings and probably take drugs but it is FUN!! You cannot help but grin as you read about Jade and her "terrible" dilemma of being caught between 4 hot guys - reading this was like a breath of fresh air. I am now anxiously awaiting the second installment!!!
This novella is a dream come true, that ends in a total cliffhanger. Which one will she choose? And will she be happy with her choice? I cannot wait to see. This book is very well written. I particularly enjoyed the diary entries at the beginning of the chapters. Totally HOTT, Totally fun and totally emotional. A must read.
Jade is finding out how to have lots of fun in college. Reaching her sexual peak she takes on two going for three brothers and her best friend. This story was very hot, however I didn't like some of the vocabulary. Magic stick, jade water and the non stop hey b when referring to a friend. Other than that it was a great quick read. WaAR
This book needed editing badly. It was very difficult to understand from the massive amounts of technical errors and lack of punctuation. This series could be interesting, but I wouldn't be able to read another book with a similar amount of errors. Once it's edited, I'll probably reread it so I can know for sure how I feel.
I loved this book. Just finished 2 engrossing stories and was looking for something fun and sexy. Jade Lynn Allen has tats and hoods and 4 hot guys chasing her. Yeah it's an ongoing story but isn't that starting to be the norm? At least her series is ok because it is written in a diary format so you know it is ongoing. Really liked the each of the characters
So the author knows how to write a great hot scene, the rest of the story needs work. There's lots of editing errors, and a lot of the non-sex scene story line needs work. There's no development. Nothing to hold your interest. I found myself skimming through it just to find the hot parts. I think some editing, and content filter would help make this more successful.
When I first started this book I wasn't sure about it, but the more I read the harder it was to put it down. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I want to find out more about Jade and her men.
SoL and Strictly Stuck have been on my kindle forrrrr-ev-errrrrr. I opened SoL and could. not. stop! I'm excited for the entire series to be put into one book. I'll wait and wait for it. I know it will be great! :)
Very fast paced, easy read. Could use some editing. Definitely want to see who Jade ends up with. I am looking forward to watching Crystal's growth as a writer. She has a lot of potential.
