After her mother’s murder two years ago, sharpshooter Lisa Bass returned to Florida to start over – and try to earn her grandmother’s forgiveness. She loves her job as a Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission officer, and teaching a weekly self-defense class helps keep the guilt at bay. So when the husband of one of her students is murdered, Lisa is absolutely determined the woman won’t get railroaded for a crime she didn’t commit.
Newly promoted Sheriff’s Detective Pete “Bulldog” Tanner believes spouses are always the prime suspect, but when the clues point to blackmail and illegal game hunting, he’s not sure what to think. Especially when their prime suspect vanishes.
Neither Lisa nor Pete relish working a joint investigation, not with the unexpected and unwelcome attraction crackling between them. But when Lisa is targeted and more people disappear, they will have to trust each other to stop the killers that are closing in fast.

Review: Beyond Fear is a great suspense book, although here and there I felt I was being given too many little details to keep track of. There are so many secondary characters who seem to be hiding secrets, and so many things happening in parallel, that sometimes it's difficulty to follow the plot in its entirety.
As to the romance, while Lisa and Pete are perfect for each other and you can't help but root for them, the fact that whenever they are together in the same bed one of them falls asleep before they so much as exchange a couple of words gets old fast - it was funny the first time around, but after the third our fourth repetition I started to wonder if the author couldn't just find some other alternative.
Still, the action is non-stop and just for that, Beyond Fear is still very much worth reading, as long as the issues above don't bother you too much.
Happy readings!
