Rebecca York Just Gets Better!

Reclusive billionaire Leonard Hamilton taps prizewinning investigative reporter Jordan Walker to write the definitive Hamilton biography. Full cooperation from the billionaire is assured with just one catch: Walker must first investigate the puzzling, accidental death of Hamilton's son. As his investigation begins, Jordan attends a senator's party and spies a captivating brunette. With one look, the normally isolated Walker feels an immediate sexual and emotional connection to congressional staffer Lindsay Fleming. When his hand grasps her wrist, their barriers drop, and they are drawn into each other's minds. Shaken by the intense telepathic connection, Lindsay retreats, leaving both feeling more alone than ever. Jordan must see her again. He needs her help with his investigation and is compelled to probe their intimate link further. Overwhelmed, yet intrigued by this mysterious connection, the couple explores their union. Lindsay and Jordan discover that a total sexual surrender strengthens their telepathic bond and cultivates new powers. The couple race to hone their newfound skills while uncovering a massive government conspiracy involving murder, mind control, psychic gifts, biological warfare, and genetic engineering. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. York's previous books in the the Moon series. With Beyond Control she reaches a new intensity that drew me in and would not let go. The idea of two lonely, solitary people discovering an ultra-human bond that is profoundly sexual, yet so much more, resonated with me. Seeing Lindsay and Jordan deal with the conflict between their former isolation and their new closeness was compelling. Even so, their relationship is not the only story. At first it seems as if there are several unrelated threads. However, as the story unfolds, these well-developed threads are joined seamlessly into a extremely hot, sensual, exciting, and energetic suspense thriller. Beyond Control is a sensational read!

Is there anything Rebecca York can't do?

I have read Rebecca York for years now and am constantly surprised at her own ability to move into new areas with such confidence and control-- no pun intended but while I loved all the "Moons" and alpha male werewolf mates -- Beyond Control takes the reader into a new zone -- compellingly. As usual, Rebecca York creates her own unique vintage of telepathic slow build into suspense between characters -- and I found myself mesmerized and wondering -- which is exactly what I look for in a good read -- What next Rebecca York? Amazin'!

Please tell me this is the start of a new series!

I've been reading Rebecca York's books for a while, and she just keeps getting better and better. The suspense and the romance in Beyond Control are balanced perfectly, with each unfolding at the same pace and with the same intensity. It's a story of two people uncovering a conspiracy that dates back to their own births, and it's a story of two people who've spent their entire lives alone, set apart from other people because of their psychic abilities, finding an intimacy that's deeper than they could ever have imagined, and coming to terms with it. The good: The suspense. I spent a lot of this book on the edge of my seat. The secondary characters. They're all well-developed, and understandable. The love scenes. Well-written and HOT!--the psychic connection worked very well. The way the many threads of the book meshed seamlessly. The bad: You do have to read the first couple of chapters carefully to keep all the characters straight, but it's more than worth it. The truly excellent: The intensity and honesty of the emotions between the main characters. The verdict: An absolute keeper that I'll read again and again.

Outstanding Suspense - Very Clever TWISTS and TURNS - HOT!!!

When billionaire Leonard Hamilton summoned journalist Jordan Walker to his home, Jordan made sure he'd done his homework. He was prepared having done as thorough a background research on the reclusive philanthropist as humanly possible, but nothing could have prepared him for the life altering discoveries he would soon make once he'd accepted the job and started investigating the `alleged accidental death' of the billionaire's son. While delving into the investigation Jordan obtained an invitation to a senator's party where he was instantly aware of a beautiful brunette. Never one to actively pursue the opposite sex the intense attraction was extraordinary as it heightened his senses in a most peculiar way. The object of Jordan's scrutiny, Lindsay Fleming, aide to a powerful senator, was also keenly aware of Jordan in much the same way. When they were introduced to one another and touched hands, the effect was instantaneous and it seemingly opened each other's minds to one another - a very scary situation for both parties who had never met before that day! The connection was stronger than anything each had ever felt, and as they came to explore the bond and similar feelings further, they became embroiled in a massive government cover-up of murder, mind-control and biological warfare. Racing against time, they had to forge their new-found telepathic bond; a bond that would only grow stronger with their complete sexual surrender in order to save themselves and uncover a deadly government conspiracy. ____ WOW! This was certainly one very hot, steamy, mind boggling and exciting suspense thriller. I loved the concept of finding a soul mate who was so telepathically connected with you that there was no need to vocalize. You name it, this book has it including some very snappy dialogs combined with an absolutely riveting tale of suspense and a love match between two people who had to overcome personal conflicts in working hard to an understand of their extraordinary connection. This was a very well written and skillfully executed tale with well-developed characters, stunning sensuality and some clever twists. A truly dynamic, can't put it down, read! --- Marilyn, for www.suspenseromancewriters.com ---
