Beyond a Shadow

Written by Alison Kent

Narrated by Brooke Hayden

Most people come to Comfort Bay, Oregon, in search of a quiet respite. But that's not on the agenda for undercover operative Ezra Moore. He has ten days to unload a shipment of illegal weapons and take down Spectra IT, the international crime syndicate he's infiltrated. Spectra's man, Warren Aceveda, is playing dirty pool. To beat him and stay alive, Ezra has to play dirtier. However, even the best-laid crimes can go sideways, and Ezra's about to find out how far...

Alexa Counsel likes her boring life in Comfort Bay. But there's nothing boring about the new handyman working at the local B&B. Great with his hands? Oh yeah. But there's something much deeper running beneath those still waters. Something she's not sure she understands or trusts. No one is going to use her as a cover, no matter how irresistible he may be. But Ezra is the only man who's ever made her feel so complete, and she's in way too deep to turn back...

Playing cat and mouse with one of the world's fiercest criminals, Alexa and Ezra are about to find out just how dangerous and delicious starting a new life—and finding a new love—can be.

Alison Kent

Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale. Two years after that, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the 'Isn't It Romantic?' episode of CBS's 48 Hours. The resulting book, Call Me, was a Romantic Times finalist for Best First Series Book.

Reviews for Beyond a Shadow

[sandra eike · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A good story with interesting characters, especially the smart little Amy rose. Way too much descriptive sex, borderline porno in my opinion.

[Nancy Vieth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Definitely erotica but plenty of other action too. Very talented narrator!

[Karen Chandler · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great suspenseful, edge of your seat. Believable and interesting characters.

[Rich · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is by far one of my favorite books! She is such a talented writer but there is just something about this particular story that had me from the beginning. It’s a great read (or listen?)

[kim hill · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I might have given more stars for the rating but tge narrator made it exceedingly difficult to even listen to this book in its entirety.

[Dohiya Novak · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The narrator was awful so it was hard to listen to. The story is great as per Alison Kent's normal.

As for Scribd I wish they would do better getting complete sets at once and labeling them with their order. This series is actually 11 books in total and only 3 are available. Luckily they are stand-alone books but characters are cross referenced and it drives me nuts to know that I am missing their backstories

I am soooo disappointed with this! It's my first book of this autor and for sure the last one!! I was so happy to read a romantic suspance but insted i have a erotica book. If you like those kind of book when they don't have sex they thinking of sex!!

[Jenna Vaughn · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was an okay book but definitely showed its age in places. There were elements that did not feel comfortable for me like the emphasis on Ezra's race.... And the sex felt forced to me. But it was an enjoyable enough listen.
