Beyond Control (Berkley Sensation) [Mass Market Paperback]

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 ---

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.

Ms. York offeres readers edge of your seat reading with the paranormal/suspense read.

Jordan Walker is a respected journalist and he has just been offered a the chance of a lifetime when a millionaire requests that he investigate the death of his son in exchange for all rights to his biography. Jordan realizes that there is more to this than meets the eye and when he starts his investigation he finds out just how right he was, and just how dangerous his new investigation is for more than one reason.

It leads to government secrets and to Lindsay Fleming a woman that has Capitol Hill connections that could help him in his search for the truth. Lindsay is special for another reason. They have a very special connection. One that neither of them can forget or ignore. They are destined for each other but first they must survive the upcoming investigation. Secrets will be exposed, people will be killed and Jordan and Lindsay will be right in the middle of it all.

This was a very fast paced read that blew this reader away with it's creativity and sensuality between Jordan and Lindsay. Ms. York has become an automatic read for me and an author that offeres reads with entertaining twists and turns. As a result the reader will never be bored here.
