I've been a huge fan of the BEYOND books since I first picked up Beyond Shame...As we have travelled through the series the stories have gotten better & better (not to mention HOTTER and HOTTER!)The anticipation for Beyond Jealousy has been building since I read the teaser at the end of Beyond Pain - and I am ecstatic to report that the story more than lived up to the expectation I had of it!!!!We've all expected Ace, Rachel and Cruz's story to be HOTTER THAN HELL and jeez, Bree & Donna have outdone themselves AGAIN!!!Just when you think they can't possibly top the last book in the series they work their writing mojo magic and pull it out of the bag!!!!I'm a Jasper babe - from the start that hasn't changed - but I've always loved ACE... That took a HUGE step forward while reading Jealousy.Who knew that the sexy, dirty minded, filthy mouthed tattooist could grab my heart as much as he did!!The guy has got more layers than I'd have thought possible and there is SO much more to him that I ever considered there could be!RACHEL - She's been getting her sexy on more and more since that mind-blowing scene in Beyond Pain. Our gal is now working the stage at the Broken Circle and is a big favourite with the regulars!!Even though Eden born, Rae is an O'Kane through and through - she's strong & feisty and has been nursing a love for our sexy bad boy for a long time, that has, until now never been acknowledged or returned.CRUZ - when we last met him he was setting out on a voyage of discovery with Ace.... Has he been able to leave Eden behind and fully embrace the O'Kane way of life and loving or has all he's been taught stayed with him?!?! Well..... now's your chance to find out!!!Since she broke up with Cruz, Rach has been watching Ace and her Eden 'bad boy' get close and has listened to all the dirty whispers & stories about their joint antics!!!It looked like she was never gonna get what she really wanted, so as you can imagine, I was beyond delighted when it finally seemed like they might now get it together!BUT..... would that an O'Kane story be that straightforward!!!!OMG... those KR girls know how to write a a ball-grabber of a tale...They also know how to take your heart, rip it out, mess with it - more than just a little - and give you it back all torn up..... Just when you think that you've finally managed to nurse your poor, bloody and broken centre back to a good place... BOOM, they go and knock you for six AGAIN!!!! Word of warning - stock up on tissues, 'cos you're gonna need them!!!!We were treated to a load of passion & heat and a ton of hot, down and dirty dirty sex as you'd would expect (YAY!!) as well as loads of action..... Jealousy is full of twists & turns, shocks & surprises, double dealing, mystery, drama and fighting.... Gotta love the way Dallas and his 'family' get their fight on!!!The story arc set in motion earlier in the series is heating up at a pace and the gods only know where things are gonna go next - but, as ever I CANNOT WAIT to find out!We meet a few new faces - friend (family) and foe. We get back in touch with our favourite O'Kanes and of course have to deal with some of the less than pleasant low life buggers from the other sectors that we've already had the misfortune of being introduced to!!!I'm not gonna tell you anything else - not spoilers or tidbits - this one is best left for you to discover 1st hand!!!!I'll leave you by saying that I absolutely LOVED Beyond Jealousy... I got to the end and was as happy as an O'Kane at an orgy and then the girls walloped us with an absolute stoatir of an ending!!! Well, HELL, I DID NOT see that coming!!!!...........and so the anticipation for BEYOND ADDICTION begins!!!! Thank the gods we've got Beyond Solitude to tide us over in the meantime!!!!! :DI'd give Beyond Jealousy 10 stars if I could....*I received an ARC from the authors in exchange for an honest review*
