The beyond series books always make me want a tattoo... no, not just a tattoo, freaking sleeves of them, and I am not a permanent ink kinda gal! There are just some things about this series that are incredibly addictive. Besides the ink, which symbolizes belonging to a family of loyal open-minded people, the free-spirited sex and the bad ass cage fighting are to die for. Layer in the slowly unfolding mystery of Eden and the origins of the Sectors, and you've got a hell of a good series. Like, gleefully hedonistic and unapologetically-addicting good.This is the menage book, the Ace-Rachel-Cruz story we've all been waiting for, and it starts out in trademark O'Kane fashion, with fighting and drinking and tattoos. Beyond Jealousy definitely requires a lot of backstory knowledge to read smoothly through all the references and history looped in, so there were times when I wasn't sure whether the characters were subtly passing on new information or if I was just forgetting the events of previous stories.Every time I think the Beyond series has hit its peak, Kit Rocha twists it up another level... more secrets, more danger, and an ever-expanding universe for the series with more unique characters and even kinkier possibilities.My only criticism about the story is that I wanted more intimacy between the men, and not only in the physical sense. They consistently used Rachel as their buffer and I really wanted more Ace-on-Cruz (and vice versa) in the personal little ways that show someone how much you care. That said, this book was hot and the ride was definitely worth the wait!
