New York Times–bestselling author: A woman is targeted after taking over her family business in Texas . . .“Unforgettable characters and a high-octane plot” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Five weeks ago Carly Drake stood at her grandfather’s grave. Now she’s burying Drake Trucking’s top driver, and the cops have no leads on the hijacking or murder. Faced with bankruptcy, phone threats, and the fear of failure, Carly has to team up with the last man she wants to owe—Lincoln Cain.

Cain is magnetic, powerful, controlling—and hiding more than one secret. He promised Carly’s granddad he’d protect her. The old man took a chance on him when he was nothing but a kid with a record, and now he’s the multi-millionaire owner of a rival firm.

But Linc’s money can’t protect Carly from the men who’ll do anything to shut her down, or the secrets behind Drake Trucking. If she won’t sell out, the only way to keep her safe is to keep her close . . . and fight like hell.

“As the suspense unfurls at a breathtaking pace, readers will be captivated by this tale of drug dealers, foreign terrorists, bloody violence, and hot, steamy sex, all leading to a shocking ending.” —Publishers Weekly

“I love her books!” —Linda Lael Miller

Most authors who attempt graphic sex scenes don't seem to realize that what turns them can be boring and gratuitous to a lot of the readers. Not to mention the unimaginative writing, the unrealistic characters and events - I could have written this in high school when my hormones were running rampant.(and thank God those days are long over) I got to about 17% on my Kindle when I finally figured out it was not going to get better. I wish the description of the book had been more truthful, I wouldn't have bought it.

Cheesy, hormonal & amateurish

I've really got to stop trying to read Kat Martin books. This is my third or fourth one, lifetime, and each time I've read one of her books I've walked away from the experience feeling somewhat disgusted (how does she have a contract with a legitimate publisher?) and wishing I hadn't wasted my time.

Before I even finished the first chapter, I knew this one was another dud. It smacks of something from the 80's. Things are just overblown and nonsensical. Suddenly someone's horny, with really no relevant build up to that and seemingly no relevance to it whatsoever. It's just kind of thrown out there and doesn't seem like a natural part of the story. Some authors are very good at interweaving sex or innuendo into their stories and they do so without it seeming like it was just put there because they think readers expect it. What I expect is a good, well-developed story with well-developed & believable characters. I have no interest in reading some vapid Ken & Barbie farce, which is what this one put me in mind of. Ugh.

This is it!

Since I began reading chapter books as a kid, I've read book descriptions that say things like "page turner" and "you won't be able to put this one down". No matter how good each book was, and some have been really good, they never lived up to the hype in the description. This one does. If you're looking for a really well written novel, that you literally don't want to put down after Chapter 1, then this is it. I won't spoil it for you because you need to be experience it for yourself. Now, this isn't a great work of literature, but in my opinion most of those are boring, but if you want a book that you will enjoy, this is it. So, read it for yourself. Enjoy Linc and Carly as much as I did and then wait patiently for the next book in the series to come out in January. It should be a real page turner as well. Enjoy!

So happy to review BEYOND REASON for NetGalley. Kat Martin has always been one of my favorite authors and she never disappoints. I didn't want to put this book down..... Linc is the perfect hero.. Tall, handsome, rich, protective and a bit of a troubled past. Carly is a strong woman who doesn't trust men after her two broken engagements....her father she never knew and even her uncle Joe who was twice divorced. There is plenty of action in this book and laughter and tears...both happy and sad. I got my HEA and can't wait for the next TEXAS TRILOGY ... BEYOND DANGER ...Beau and Cassidy's story ....

Loved Beyond Reason

Beyond Reason was the first book by Kat Martin that I have read. It was an Amazon recommendation, and I bought the entire Texas Trilogy series. It was a great book. I loved every moment it. Just the right amount of romance and thrill. It had wonderful, believable characters. The story is about Carly Drake, the owner of Drake Transport with the death of her grandfather Joe, three months ago. Prior to his death, Joe asks Lincoln Cain, a bad boy turned good and owner of his own multi-million dollar company to watch over Carly is something should happen to him. It was lust as first sight for Carly and Linc and things moved very quickly between them. Both Carly and Linc have been hurt in the past by people who professed that they loved them. Carly is very wary of marriage and happily ever afters. Will this fear cause her to lose her one great chance of happiness. There are life and death moments in the book that were so very thrilling to read. And a surprise plot twist near the end that I did not see coming. It was a wonderful book. so glad I took the recommendation. Now onto Beyond Danger

Money & Power vs. Secrets, Fear & Determination

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018

Kat Martin has always been one of my favorites, especially in the Romantic Suspense genre. I fell in love with the hero, Linc-tall, massive muscles & piercing eyes & stubborn as a rock. The heroine, Carly, was just as hardheaded & fell for Linc, despite her terrible luck with men & her fight against Linc's business & money power trying to keep her grandfather's Drake trucking business afloat & the men who wanted to shut her down by kidnapping & murder. The romance was perfect between Linc & Carly. The characters & sub characters, the sheriff I wanted to punch in the nose, were well described along with the plot of the story. I really had a hard time putting the book down. Can be read as a stand-alone or the series. I'm for reading the whole series since I want to find out who Beau, Linc's business partner, gets paired with.

An excellent story-line filled with intrigue, humor and romance. You can't miss with this book or any of the books written by this author. The imagination and research that goes into a book written by this author is amazing. In the story, we have a rich businessman, a gal who has inherited a depressed business and a group of friends who stand strong that will bind the group together. Grandpa Joe died, Carly comes home to circumstances beyond her control, she gets help from Cain, advice from Rowena, and let's not forget the motorcycle gang of few who stand by the ones they care about. I loved this book and didn't want to step away for any reason. Thanks for a wonderful read.

You won’t be able to put this one down

Another terrific read from Ms. Martin. Carly and Linc are perfect together, something her grandfather knew all along. This is a suspense-filled, action-packed story with bad guys all over the place including an abusive father, international terrorists, an incompetent sheriff and so much more. Plot lines are well thought out and characters are beautifully crafted making this a must-read that you’ll love.
