Publisher's Summary

Book Four in the best-selling, award-winning BEYOND series.

She's been looking for the perfect man. She found two.

When Rachel Riley sacrificed a life in Eden to protect the O'Kanes, she earned her place in the powerful Sector Four gang. But the former crime princess is tired of being everyone's sweet little sister. It's time for her to get wild, to embrace her fantasies as only an O'Kane can - with a delicious exiled soldier and the gang's wickedly sinful tattoo artist.

A saint...

Lorenzo Cruz is a warrior, taught by his commanding officers in Eden that involvement equals distraction. Emotion is a liability, and desire a sin. In Sector Four, he finds decadence, shameless sex - and his own dark urges. No battle strategy prepared him for how Rachel makes his heart race...or the way his rival for her affections sets his blood on fire.

...And a sinner.

Ace Santana has a dirty reputation and a mind to match, especially where his new lovers are concerned. He's eager to help Cruz embrace his dominant side, and to explore the lines between pleasure and pain with Rachel. But corrupting them quickly becomes an obsession, a need he can't deny - and a love he never imagined.

Three hearts on the line means a hundred ways their menage a trois could go wrong. After all, even O'Kanes do forever two-by-two. One of them could be the missing piece that makes them all whole... or a temporary diversion destined for a broken heart.

OMG! Awesome!

Wow... these books get better and better. I personally love m/m romance, but this was more of a m/m/f romance... which are usually not done right, because if three people are going to be in a relationship... why do all three people always have to be together at the same time... that is just not realistic... but Kit has figured it out... especially about the m/m relationship in a threesome...

This was perfect... Ace and Kane had to have a relationship of their own to fully be secure in the threesome... It's like each person had to have a solid relationship with each other... which totally made this work... I loved it..

This books are graphic, raw and down right smexy!!! So enjoyable...

Worth a credit or sale...b/c this book is pretty pricey!

Narration...of course was Amayz!

Wowza!

I have been so pleasantly surprised by this series. It's honestly not something I would have chosen to read on my own based on the description alone because, to be frank, most of the times in stories where is a sort of sexual free for all environment the women are degraded and somehow...less I guess is the only word for it. Control and humiliation. However, this book somehow manages to combine scorching hot sex and multiple partners without degrading anyone.

I generally don't enjoy books where the main characters have sexual interaction outside of their main relationship because it usually feels as though it cheapens the love between those characters somehow. I don't know how the author pulls it off but she really manages to make all of the sexual interactions, no matter how filthy, showcase a true sense of affection and respect among all parties involved. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, women so often come off as the weak ones in these types of stories. They're submissive and like being controlled by an alpha male but what I love so much about these stories is that while, yes, the men are definitely alpha and like control, the women have just as much power as the men. Sometimes more. Even in the throes of passion when the man/men are telling them what to do the author conveys that the power is with the women. It's a nice change.

Intriguing love triangle

Would you consider the audio edition of Beyond Jealousy, Volume 4 to be better than the print version?

I really enjoyed the audio version, but at times it took a little time to distinguish which POV for the chapter or part of the chapter. Lucy Malone did moderate her voice for the different characters, which was helpful.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Beyond Jealousy, Volume 4?

One of the key moments is the moment Ace and Cruz share in the middle of street fight near the end of the book. What happens next shows how Ace truly feels about Cruz and Rachel, despite his previous words and actions.

What three words best describe Lucy Malone’s voice?

Conveyed emotion, heartbreak

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I had previously read the book, but I still wanted to listen to the audio version.

Any additional comments?

I love this series and Beyond Jealousy is a great addition! I would recommend listening to the books in order to get a better understanding of Sector Four world.

The best of this series so far!

Have enjoyed the world and characters of Kit Rocha’s Beyond series, but this has been my favorite. This is the first three-person relationship, and first explicit bisexual male scenes, and I adored them!

While switching between narrators constantly can be annoying, and having more than a dozen distinct characters confusing, the narrator did wonderful at giving the distinct voices justice.

Sad these characters won’t be the focus of the next books, but Rocha set up some juicy back stories to play on.

Everything good comes in three's

This is a series you can get lost in and this is one of the hottest books I've ever read. Rachel is caught between two men, Cruz and Ace. She has longed for, lusted for and even dipped her toe in a bit of fun with these two guys and the end result is a threesome that is sinfully hot, but that's the way of the O'Kanes.

This is a must read, one of my favorites of all time.

Hot...Wet...Beautiful...Destructive...Healing

I am not usually a fan of love triangles, but there was no angst. This worked and it worked WELL!

Rachel is torn between Ace (who she has loved forever) and Cruz (who she fell in love with when Ace broke her heart). When Rachel dropped Cruz because he only had part of her heart Ace picked him up quick. No one is complete without the other.

A Sexy, Addicting Series

Any additional comments?

Another smutty installment in this addictive series!

I was glad that Ace, Cruz and Rachel finally got their story. It was everything I had hoped for. Sexy, dirty, and oh-so-good!

I listened on audio, and the narrator did a good job. The one thing I have to point out is this: if you like the narrator to give each character a unique voice, you might be disappointed. She tried, but I have to admit, I had a hard time distinguishing one character from the next just based on her voice. It didn't bother me, as I was able to follow along with the story and dialogue cues, but I know that some prefer more of a performance from an audiobook. I'll still listen to this narrator again though.

I can't wait to see what's next for the O'Kanes . . .

Loved this book...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would absolutely recommend this audiobook to a friend, but only if they are 18+ and like to read about a lot of hot sex between three people.

What other book might you compare Beyond Jealousy, Volume 4 to and why?

I haven't read many books with 3 main characters in a relationship, however it fits right into the rest of the Beyond Series. There's a lot of filthy talk, dirty sex, fight nights and tension between the Sectors but true love for the main characters.

Which character – as performed by Lucy Malone – was your favorite?

Lucy Malone did a great job in this book with all of the characters. She was easily understandable and had a definite distinction between character voices. I preferred Ace's performance, probably more because I really liked his character, but Lucy did a great job with it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I don't think I had an extreme reaction anywhere in this book, but I thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing.

Any additional comments?

This was an entertaining read and a great addition to the Beyond Series. If you are looking for a MMF relationship, this is a good one. I do recommend reading the first books in the Beyond Series, not only because it is a great series, but also to understand the previous characters and storyline of Sector Four.

ONLY IF YOU ARE CRAZY FOR BDSM AND DARKNESS

I've noticed a new trend, probably since 50 Shades of Gray came out, where the erotica is going more and more into a dark place with more intense scenarios leaning toward a more uncomfortable place than I'm willing to be taken. I find it quite uncomfortable to know of and to listen to. Also, there is becoming a 'salad tossing' of a sort of who is participating in the sexual behaviors, with no possibilities being exempt. Again, a place I'm uncomfortable in being taken. To approve of such behaviors by qualifying that each person used (and is usually at least three now) Love one another is an immature persona to be placed on such a life.
Be aware that these books, by Kit Rocha will include such scenarios of darkness and extreme sexual encounters that you may want to reconsider your choice to listen.
Sorry that I can't add anything positive in my review of these books, but the solidarity of each character is just not there making it beyond my ability to identify with them.
