Customer Reviews

LOVED IT!

This has to be one of my absoulte favorites! I loved the storyline. I thought it was creative and inventive. Their romance was hot and steamy and I loved Jace. He took to baby Allison and I thought it was great when he referred to himself as Daddy when speaking to her. I loved it!

A Favorite

characters: Jason Manning and Katherine AdamsKatherine runs away with her new born niece to save her from Katherine's brother-in-laws parents; Jason follows and finds her; trust is lacking from the beginning but slowly builds and they will find the way to each other.wonderful humor in their interactions

Somewhat predictable but still a great story!

While parts of the story were predictable, the story still captured and enthralled me. I could not put this one done!Katherine's sister's husband (Peter Manning) is killed in a car accident along with his mistress. Later that same night she goes into labor only 7 months pregnant - gives birth to a baby girl but unfortunately dies due to complications. Just before she dies she pleads with Katherine to take care of her baby and not the let the Mannings raise her. As soon as she can leave the hospital, Katherine takes baby Allison and moves to Texas.One day Jason Manning, Peter's brother, shows up at her door explaining that he is there to take Allison. As is somewhat expected, they felt an instant attraction to each other and start a relationship. Jason happens to be the black sheep of the Manning family and also wants to protect Allison from his parents.There are many miscommunications and misunderstandings along the way. As with any good romance there are also many steamy moments along the way! A few unexpected events arise and kept me reading and wanting more until the very end.

One of the best from Sandra Brown

Love Beyond Reason was one book I could not put down. I read it from beginning to end and when I finished I read it again. I love it!!! The characters came to life for me, there was plenty of steamy erotic moments and the book was loaded with romance. It was because of this book that I started buying anything with the name Sandra Brown on it. Top marks!!!
