Beyond the Blue

De: TJ O'Shea

Narrado por: Cindy Kay

Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe’s life. She has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three random meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third meeting, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness must admit that perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge. A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly—an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department’s brand-new cold case team working down the hall from Mei’s morgue.

More golden retriever than hard-boiled detective, Morgan is determined to pull the asocial widow out of her shell. As the icy scientist warms to her cheerful new friend, an irrepressible chemistry develops, and Mei begins to realize she’s perhaps a different number on the Kinsey scale than previously considered.

As Mei and Morgan struggle with guilt and grief, drama and desires, Mei finds her scientific austerity is no match for the universe and its nudges toward the startling revelation of what her heart really wants.

Pleasant surprise

Well written, superb performance. Had no expectations but was such a pleasant surprise. Look forward to future books by the author.

Great story. AMAZING narrator.

First time reading this author and hearing this narrator. Both were great. Tbh, I would listen to Cindy Kay read me the phone book. She definitely got these characters. Her voice was like a comfy sweater on an autumn day. I need more!

Heartfelt love story

This is a love story that really builds and you get to see the ups and downs of being in love again after the loss of a spouse. Worth the listen.

Perfect book with perfect narration

I loved everything about this story. The characters were unique, lovable and diverse. The dialogue was witty and the banter was superb. I truly enjoyed the cultural references and the age gap element. Cindy Kay’s narration brought the characters to life. I cannot imagine Morgan’s voice spoken by anyone else. I really hope I start seeing her name a lot more because she ranks right up there with the best of the voice actors on Audible.

Well written Lesbian Romance With Interesting Characters!

I enjoyed the storyline and both perspectives of the two main characters being provided. The story dealt with in-depth awakenings and trust issues due to abandonment as a child. The author was on point in the emotional details being conveyed to the audience a sense of loss and growth for both of the main characters. The evolution of the story and narration was enjoyable to spend some time with and escape to escape for a time.

Great Feel Good Yet Complex Romance

I loved how these two met. A wonderful ‘meet cute’ that grew beautifully from there. Morgan was a wonderful woman and Mae brought the complexity of her culture and age to the relationship. Ruiz, Morgan’s best friend was a perfect addition to the story. The way the story was woven was captivating and kept me listening until the very end. I bought it right away to keep for future additional listening. I highly recommend this author and narrator who brought this beautiful story to life.

Beyond the Blue ❤️

I expected this to be sure murder-mystery, but it's not really - and I'm not disappointed! Mei and Morgan are just 🥰❤️.

The book describes Mei as kind of an ice queen, which is not how I took her to be. She seems just set in her ways. Morgan is described as a "golden retriever," which is the PERFECT description, and I absolutely love her!! An unlikely pair, but some chance meetings prove they have quite the connection. We get taken on a stroll, that is their relationship, and it's a very beautiful ride!

And bravo to the narrator!! 👏👏👏

Really good!

I enjoyed it immensely. I would have liked a little more time with Mei's friend, but over all well done. Unlike a lot of LesRom, this story didn't get too sanctimonious except in the usual "white people this or that" comments. Could do without the commentary. Great read and great narration.

Easy moving story

Realistic story with two adult minded, but flawed individuals. I really enjoyed their understanding of each other and the grace each gave in order to allow for individual growth in the relationship as they grew together.

“Beyond the Blue” by TJ O’Shea, Narrated by Cindy Kay

Despite a 20 year age difference and very different personalities, Dr. Mei Sharpe and Lieutenant Morgan Kelly have a very strong attraction to each other. Mei is also heterosexual….or is she?!?

This is a wonderful story about love, loss, mental health/abandonment issues and so much more. TJ O’Shea has written an amazing story with complicated characters. It’s well worth reading.

The narration by Cindy Kay is spot on!
