Theirs was a long, complicated story with a monster and a knight. What made their story unique was that these two players were the same person.—Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED
WOW, Brilliant, Amazing, Awesome this is how I felt while
reading Beyond the Consequences by Aleatha Romig If I could give it 10 stars I
would
I was so pleased that Aleatha wrote this 5th book
in this series, desperate to know what was next for Tony and Claire and what
happened next for them all. I actually
found myself reading until 3am in the morning as I could not put this book down
it was just that good.
At the end of Revealed, I did think, Oh wait I still have
questions, will these be answered and I am here to say that hopefully in Beyond
the Consequences, you like me will also have your questions answered. I was so
pleased that while reading I felt at peace as Aleatha did indeed answer
everything what was swirling around my head.
I was so glad that when I did sit down to read, I did not
need re read the last chapter of Revealed to know what had happened before
everything came back to me just with the prologue.
This book has the usual Aleatha drama, intrigue and suspense
but it also had lots of laughter and love, especially love.
The book begins with the family travelling all together in
the private plane and it is here that we first see the new Claire, the improved
Claire, the stronger Claire and the Claire that knows what she wants for her
and her family. “Too much time had
been lost in the past, she wasn’t’ willing to grant it anymore”
This part just showed me the determination in Claire and I could not wait to
dig right in.
Claire and Tony still have obstacles to get over and it is
by no means an easy task but the brilliant thing in this book is they do it
together. Yes there are issues to deal
with and there is no shortage of OMG and WTH but there is also so much Awwww
and Yeah as well. The love for Tony that
Claire has is palatable in this book and truly amazing. “He wasn’t her star, but her sun. Just like the real
celestial object that controlled the solar system, Tony was the gravitational
pull whom she willingly allowed to dictate her orbit and warm her heart”
What about Tony, I hear you say, has he changed; well there
is still the controlling, dominant side of Tony, “I’ve made our fortune with negotiations. I hope you don’t think I’m easy to
manipulate” but there is
also the very loving, caring side of Tony that was a pleasure to read It was
lovely to see Tony in all his glory again, I have missed him, “He couldn’t imagine seeing those
emerald eye lifeless or without spark.
From the first time he’d seen Claire, up close and in person, he was
drawn to the life in her beautiful eyes. I think I fell in love with Tony all over
again”.
You meet all the usual characters from the other books like
Emily & John and Eric and the lovely Phil. Ahhh Phil, what can I say, if
ever there was a man whom I would want to protect me it would be Phil. I loved the way in this book Aleatha gave us
an insight in not only Claire and Tony’s life with Nichol but she includes
everyone in this story and you feel connected to them all.
I loved how we got to know everyone so much better, the
pasts and present issues, with a few surprises thrown in just the way Aleatha
does it.
Nichol is such a sweetie and the relationship Claire and
Tony have with their daughter just brings a tear to your eye, there is so much
love there it is lovely to read. You can
tell that Nichol is her father’s daughter, she does have Tony wrapped around
her little finger but the lovely thing is he does not care; Tony is in his
element about it all. I loved when Nichol had a nightmare and made Tony check
under her bed for monsters, priceless “Nichol stood on the bed and flung herself into Tony’s arms, You have
to read me one more story too” you can see here at such an early
age she is such a good negotiator at such a young age she must have got that
from Tony.
The way this book is written is brilliant and flawless and
if you loved the rest of the books in this series you are going to be blown
away by this book. The way Aleatha describes everything made me picture it all
in my head and made the book more real to me
I will leave you with this by our lovely, dominant,
controlling but loving Tony
“I love you. You’re my life, my drug, my anchor. You’ve made me into a man who deserves to
have you in his life”
So much more than 5 Stars to me, more like 10 Stars
