Jeezus.

See ya, Ramirez.

So creepy. What, does this guy have her Lo-jacked or something?

Attagirl!

Love you Cole. You'll find someone better than that twit.

"Anything you can do, I can do better..."

Gah, that guy scares me.

Honey, you have a daughter. I'm sorry, but no horse is worth your life.

Was Linc also robbing the store?

I love this little girl so much. I just want to give her a big old hug.

Anyone this two-bit sheriiff thinks is a "good kid" is probably headed to juvie.

Damon gives me the creeps. Poor Lisa!

Do any of these cops know how to do their jobs?

These poor guys had less trouble during the war!

Mrs. Thompson spends more time with Ivy than she does.

Damn! Thank God for shoddily-made jewelry!

Phew! That horse was worth every penny.

The father's as crazy as the son.

I forgot this was a trilogy until I got to visit with some previous characters :) You can read it as a standalone, but reading the others is worth the time.

Beyond Control has a fair amount of suspense, multiple story arcs and just enough romance to round it out.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of Beyond Control by Kat Martin that I read and reviewed.
This book was pretty good. Even though Beyond Control was the third book in a trilogy it was a stand alone. I enjoyed the book for the most part. It did move a bit slow in some parts for me but it was a good read.
I am giving Beyond Control four out of five stars.

There is so much going on throughout the book. Made it a page turner. I always enjoy Kat Martin's books. Beyond Control, did not disappoint.

Where do I start?

I couldn't put this book down! Kat Martin introduces characters to strong women in her series who have lost their way while protecting the ones they love. The characters are strong, human, and loving. Readers will not be able to put this book down.



Now that I have read this entire series I can't wait to go back and start once again. That's right I want to go back and reread the series not because I was lost but because I want to living in Kat Martin's world she had created just a little longer.



Kat Martin has the ability to bring readers into a life or death story that is filled with dangers, romance, and characters who will come alive.



The author brings characters from the other two stories into Beyond Control connecting the stories in so many ways.

The character develop has the perfect blend when the romance begins it doesn't take away from the story but only adds.

Kat martin Beyond Control is the perfect read for those who need suspense, action, story and romance to end a long summer day. Readers are going to fall in love with Kat Martins Characters Tory and Josh before they even know what hit them.

I don't think I will every get enough of Kat Martin and her amazing series.



Thank you to Netgalley and Zebra for the advance copy of Kat Martin's Beyond Control

I was really excited when I saw this on NetGalley and even more excited when my request for it was approved! I had ths book on my kindle wishlist. This was a great series and the 3rd book did not disappoint. It was just the right mix of action and romance. I didn't want the story to end and I hope to see these characters again.
(I'd rate this 4.5/5 if I could).
Thank you #NetGalley and #Kensingtonbooks for the eARC. This is my honest review.

Beyond Control by Kat Martin is the 3rd book in her Texas Trilogy series. As normal with a Kat Martin book, this was an exciting intense story line that had a bit of everything; action, suspense, romance, great couple, and an evil villain.

Victoria Langford (Tory) is on the run with her 4 year old daughter, trying to be one step ahead of her ex-fiancée, who is abusive, controlling and obsessed with her. Her ex will go to any length to find her and get her back to Phoenix. Tory has suffered badly, and in her last escape from him, she used a stun gun to enable her get away again. She ends up in Texas , and when she sees an ad for a ranch hand, Tory applies.
Josh Cain, our hero, is a former marine who is rebuilding his ranch, and needs help. Josh has two disabled ranch hands who are also former marines, and when he meets Tory, he turns her down, telling her he wants a man for the job. Tory claims she is hard worker and begs him to give her three days to prove her worth. Josh will give in, knowing she would be gone in three days.

Tory does prove her worth, especially since she manages to win over Satan, the horse no one can handle. There is something about the way Tory talks to Satan, whom she starts calling Star, and slowly the horse allows her to be closer. Josh gets a neighbor to help with Tory’s daughter, so that she can work more. Josh also senses that Tory is running away from someone. This will bring him closer to Tory and her cute daughter, who doesn’t trust men, as she has seen her mother beaten often.

When Tory’s best friend is beaten and shot, she will tell Josh the truth about her violent ex, who will never stop looking for her. I will say that her ex was a nasty villain, and every time the chapter revolved around him, and the beatings he gave others, I found myself very tense, reading quickly to get past that chapter. He was very evil, and bad to the bone. When at the hospital, Josh will see the ex and threaten him to leave Tory alone. But the villain has no qualms of killing others, and both Tory and Josh will find themselves es in danger.
When things start happening that threatens Tory, Josh, who is falling hard for Tory, will force himself into her life to help her, even if he is afraid of commitment. Their slow built romance will heat up, but Tory knows she loves Josh, but she fears that he will be in danger because of her ex. The action in this story is non-stop, and always in the forefront, with the romance being sweet and sexy, but not overtaking the story line. Tory and Josh were such a great couple; I loved them together, as well as the daughter and I hoped that they would find a way to stay together .

It was nice to see Josh’s family again, and the friends his brother, Linc had to help him find a way to stop the ex, as well some great secondary characters. I do not want to give any spoilers, as there are a number of tense situations and twists
.
If you enjoy action, suspense, intense thriller and a sweet wonderful romance, then you need to read Beyond Control. Kat Martin has written another wonderful addition to this series, which kept me glued to the book, which I finished in one day. I suggest you read this series, but Beyond Control does read very well as a standalone.

Tory is on the run with her 4 year old daughter Ivy. Her abusive ex boyfriend Damon almost beat her to death and will not give up looking for her. She has finally landed at a remote ranch in Texas, way off the grid, hoping Damon won’t be able to track her again. Joshua Cain, ex marine and owner of the ranch reluctantly hires Tory.

This book was part of a series but could be read as a stand alone. Joshua is a true romantic hero who fights his attraction to Tory. I loved watching the relationship between them develop. This was a very enjoyable read and I recommend it to readers of romantic suspense. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I very much enjoyed this book. Tory and Josh are amazing individuals. I loved watching their story play out and seeing Josh finding something he didn't even realize he was missing. And Ivy was an absolute doll. I can't wait to see the next by this author.

I am happy to say that I felt that Kat redeemed herself from last book. Not that I had disliked but I really liked the first book in this series, second just ok but didn't care for heroine, but this I was happy with. I love those Cain brothers, this was Josh's book and I really encourage you to read them all from the beginning if not I feel that you are missing out. Anyway, back to this one, we meet Tory who is running from an abusive ex, who feels that because he put a ring on her finger she was his property. Tory also has a little girl who she needs to protect and unfortunately this little is terrorized of men. Josh reluctantly hires Tory as his stable hand only because he feels that something is going on..That's it folks you need to read for more..I hope we get to know what happened to Rowe? She wasn't mentioned in this one and I was happy Brittney finally got herself the man she was crushing on..Enjoy!

I loved this book. This is the third book on a trilogy , however I did not read the previous books and I was not lost. I loved Tory and her little girl, to me was the star !
Tory has such strength and was so resilient!
Cowboy Josh is just what these 2 need!

Beyond Control is the third fast-paced romantic suspense book in the Texas Trilogy series written by author Kat Martin. I highly recommend it. Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the advance copy.
