Beyond Control is about learning to love again.  Gabby and Jason, the main characters, both overcame intensely difficult trials from their past that in a way prevented them from truly living and loving life until they met each other.  The attraction was instant upon their first interaction on the bridge and continued to build throughout their story.I admired Gabby’s strong personality and found myself laughing at some of her antics-especially in the beginning with the hot tub scene (so not what you are thinking right now).  I found the way she revealed her “dark” secret to Jason in such a sweet way-one that I didn’t necessarily expect.  Jason’s strong, confident, and perhaps arrogant personality was a perfect blend with Gabby.  I could definitely picture his playful smirk and you could almost feel his sex appeal.  The author was able to paint the story so beautifully with words that so many parts of the book I could almost picture being there watching the story unfold.I do have to say that though I really enjoyed this book I felt like the end was a little abrupt-like maybe something was missing.  With the characters being so dramatic and strong, I expected the climactic moment to be a bit more intense and suspenseful but of course still have the happy ending all romance novels must have.  Actually, the sneak peak for the next novel in the series had the gripping moment that I had expected to be in the first. Overall, I would recommend this book and I am excited to see how the story unfolds in the next book.
