I didn’t realize that the series ended on the 5th book and this was just a ‘deleted scenes’ book. 20% of this book was worth the read but the rest sorta felt pointless

Please note this isn’t a normal book, it is a collection of deleted scenes, F&Q, Q&A with Kova and the first few chapters of Avery and Xavier’s story.
First off it was so nice to be reading about Kova and Ari again, it bought the whole series back to me and I was here for it.
I demolished this little book and ate up the little scenes, some you could see why Lucia decided not to add them and I loved her little comments before each scene.
The Q&A made me laugh so hard, it was exactly Kova and was so nice to hear a little from his POV.
The glimpse into Avery and Xavier’s story was just a massive tease and I cannot wait to read it next year. Bring on 2023.

I don't know if there are any other characters I have loved so much and Ria and Kova. Admittedly so I was not originally a fan of Kova, but he has made me fall completely in love with him and I have never looked back. That being said, can I just say how much I loved getting more from them. I loved the extras from the story and getting that same feeling I get when reading this series. I am also in love with side characters and so beyond excited for their book. Lucia never disappoints. I enjoy her writing so much and I can't wait for more from her.

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.

I have loved these books since the original Balance released. And you can say what you want.. I will NOT apologize. Lucia Franco is an amazing author who put her heart into these books. When all of the uproar happened, I spoke out against those who bullied her. I left authors in my past who were brutal in their bullying. I love to read, and I love to read books from authors that obviously love what they write. Lucia Franco is one of those. Her heart was clearly in this series.
I have watched and waited for Out of Bounds since it was even hinted at… and I was not disappointed!! I am a Kova and Ria fan.. from the very first words of Balance (original) I have loved it. I loved this book because I learned more about both characters and I ate it up! It didn’t take me long to read it…
Thank you, Lucia, for sharing your heart with the readers who love you.

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.
