Present Danger
When Victoria Bradford got engaged, she told herself to give love a chance. Six months later, she’s on the run from her angry, abusive ex-fiancé with her four-year-old daughter and nowhere to go.
Seventy miles north of Dallas, the Iron River Ranch is pretty much nowhere. That’s what its new owner, Josh Cain, wanted when he came back from Afghanistan. Big skies, quiet nights, no trouble.
One look tells Josh the pretty redhead with the adorable little girl will give him trouble of the most personal kind. But he’s seen trouble before, and he doesn’t scare easy. Not when “accidents” start happening around the ranch. Not when Tory’s best friend back in Phoenix is abducted and brutalized. Not even when it looks like their current problems are only the tip of the iceberg.
But if he gets too close to fierce, determined Tory, Josh knows his nights are going to be anything but quiet. And that’s one possibility no amount of training can prepare him for…

Praise
“As the excitement in Iron Springs continues, two strangers with tragic pasts form an unbreakable bond. Beyond Control is the last installment in the Texas Trilogy. It’s delightfully fast-paced, riveting, and amazingly compelling. Martin has outdone herself with unpredictable twists and suspense that will leave readers panting for more. Definitely a must-read for readers who enjoy mystery, thrills, and romance to spice up their life.” – RT Reviews Top Pick
“Bestseller Martin brings her Texas Trilogy … to a hair-raising finish with the gripping tale of a single mother on the run and the Marine veteran who offers her a second chance at happily-ever-after. Martin has a consummate skill for developing the most loveable and the most despicable characters; readers will cheer when sadistic Damon meets his well-deserved end. Martin’s finely described Texas is a delight.” – Publishers Weekly
Beyond Control is a book that will set your heart aflutter and have you cursing at some characters all at the same time!
I was on a road trip when I started reading this book…and a good thing my husband was driving because this meant I didn’t have to put the book down until we stopped. I devoured this book and am thankful for the speed reading I was taught in elementary school.
My heart went out to Tori and her daughter Ivy. Tori was in an abusive relationship and I wondered if she had stayed if Ivy would have become a victim too. I was glad to see her escape Damon, but he would not let her go and tracked her down wherever she ran. This made it hard for her to start over and feel like she would be ok where ever she was located. Enter Josh – he certainly didn’t want to hire a woman to help him on his ranch but he had to admire her moxie for jumping in and doing whatever it took to be able to stay there and out of sight. Granted when he eventually learned the truth he wasn’t happy that she omitted some facts but by that time it was too late and he was drawn to her. It’s a good thing Josh wants to protect Tory and Ivy, because Damon has not given up his quest to reclaim Tory and his belief that she is his – as in his property.
Since this is a ranch, it wouldn’t be one without horses and cattle. Tory seems to have the magic touch when it comes to one horse, Satan’s Star. Josh calls the horse Satan but Tory sees something else and calls him Star. I enjoyed reading about how she is able to tame the horse and even learn why the horse was acting out. I think that is why Tory could tame Star, they had something in common, they survived abuse.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a romantic suspense novel without some romance between Tory and Josh and those scenes were a good combination of sweet/loving and intense. If I wasn’t happily married I would want to find a Texas Rancher like Josh! Besides being former military, he is just the right amount of tough and soft that makes his character drool worthy.
Definitely pick this book up, you will not be disappointed.
