Review: I enjoyed reading Beyond Danger - up to a point. The characters are more or less likeable, the suspense is good and the romance is hot. 

There are, however, a few plot details that don't really add up - especially the part where the author keeps insisting Beau is a murder suspect but he's still free to come and go as he pleases. If he really was a murder suspect would the police let him travel around by helicopter with no one but him knowing where he would end up (he went to work, but he could have crossed the border into Mexico just the same). 

And the plot, well, it comes to a point where it complicates so much I was a bit lost. What I thought would imply solving a murder actually turned out to be a terrorist conspiracy of a scale no one could have foreseen. Kudos to the author for making it work, but honestly? It didn't feel 100% realistic.

 

Still, if you're looking for a fast-paced but a bit overly complicated suspense/conspiracy book, then Beyond Danger might just be perfect for you. 

Beyond Danger is book 2 in the The Texas Trilogy series, but I didn't read book 1 and I never felt I was missing background information. 

Happy readings!
