Alpha created mixed reactions among readers because many of Jasinda Wilder fans were used to the New Adult genre. She clearly classifies the book in the Erotic Romance genre. Many of her fans were expecting a romance that was similar to her New Adult and Contemporary novels where the formats focused on emotional angst and new love. Alpha clearly focused on the sensuality and sexual side that is expected in an Erotic Romance. If you are looking for a sensually hot read that has an strong element of suspense combined with erotic romance, Beta is the book to read.

Beta picks up where Alpha left off. Roth and Kyrie have built a strong relationship based upon love, respect, and chemistry. They are traveling the world and celebrating their newfound love for one another. All seems perfect in their lives until Roth’s past comes back to haunt them in a horrific way.

Roth has disappeared, people are trying to kill Kyrie, and she is stranded in France alone. One phone call to Roth’s security specialist, Harrison, sets the wheels in motion. Kyrie and Harrison will have to infiltrate the dark underworld of one of the most powerful crime families in the world. They will have to risk their lives to save Roth’s life.

Roth’s past has come back to claim him. His past business affairs and life style delved into the other side of legal business practices. Although he walked away from that world long ago, it still has a hold on him. He will suffer beyond belief for his past transgressions. He will do it willingly to keep Kyrie alive.

As the book progresses the readers will be on the edge of their seats. They will be appalled by the violence and acts of revenge carried out. It will take monumental planning and lethal execution by Harrison and his men to save Roth and Kyrie. It will take the strength of will to survive. It will take the strength of their love to heal the horrific atrocities they survived.

The love that Roth and Kyrie share is strong and resilient. Their commitment to one another is the only way to defeat their enemies. Their passion for one another will heal their souls.

Just when the reader feels good about Roth and Kyrie finally finding the peace they need for their future, Jasinda will drop the bomb. The ending is a cliffhanger that will make the readers scream for more.

First off, I was pleasantly surprised to find that a new couple was given the majority of the spotlight. I absolutely LOVE Valentine and Kyrie but I felt that they were already put through so much in Beta that I couldn’t fathom much more. Don’t get me wrong, they get plenty of screen time and steamy scenes together but the stage is shared, as well as the narration.

Layla was included in the first two novels in this series as Kyrie’s best friend. I was excited to discover that I would have the opportunity to know her much better. Layla is an extremely tough woman. She doesn’t care about hurting feelings, mushy emotions, or telling it exactly how she views it. Layla is brash, abrasive, and often difficult to like since she has solid barriers surrounding every side. She has lived her life watching out for herself and refuses to rely on others.

Harris is best known as Roth’s right-hand-man and a guy you can trust to protect your life. He is impossible to get a read on since he never reveals any weakness or reaction, other than taking out the enemy. It was fascinating to dive into the complex layers that create his character. It was high time Harris got a little spice and light into his life. It doesn’t come easily of course but that is all part of the fun.

Vitaly is out for bloody revenge and is a constant threat. This novel offers up nonstop twists and turns, suspense and violence, retribution and action, thrills and drama, as well as plenty of passionate sex that Jasinda does best. I was constantly on edge and this story is truly an adventure. I can never get enough of this author’s exceptional writing. If you are searching for different and unique, make sure to snag up this series!… (más)

I have read a few books by Jasinda before and they are quick erotic reads however, this was a really different side to her that I really enjoyed add to that the fact that this book has lived on my kindle for a year I am glad I spent my Sunday reading it.

Make sure to have a whole box of kleenex available when you read this.
This is the story of first love, and second chances when that love ends tragically.
Nell and Kyle's story isn't really what this book is about, although you need that to understand how Nell ends up in the dark and lonely place that she does when Colton (Kyle's Older brother) finds that he can not walk away from her. They seem to fix the broken pieces of eachother which I loved.
Kyle was the perfect boy, the golden child, and together He and Nell were always meant to be together. When his life ends in a tragic accident, Nell is frozen in time, unable to move past her guilt over his death or to grieve.
When she meets up with Colton 2 years after Kyle's death, Colton knows that he has to help her let go of her guilt and move on.
These two have been through so much that your heart just breaks for both of them, and you wonder how they're ever going to get it together.
I really like the way the author doesn't leave you hanging at the end of this story. It actually ends. It's not tied up all pretty, but this isn't that kind of story.
It's really hard not to fall for Colton. It's written from both Colton and Nell's POV, which is good because you get insight into where both the characters are coming from. All and all a great read I will be continuing with the story.… (más)
