Veena’s review of Beyond Reason (Texas Trilogy, Book 1) by Kat Martin
Romantic Suspense published by Zebra 30 May 17

I never miss a Kat Martin Story. I enjoy the way she blends romance with suspense to create a nice adrenaline-fueled ride for her readers. Linc is the perfect hero – handsome, rich, the hometown boy done good despite a troubled past.  Carly is beautiful, tough, determined to succeed against all odds.

After her grandfather’s death, she comes back to run his trucking company, only to find the company teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Determined to turn the business around, she receives set back after set back, especially when one of her drivers turns up dead.

Is that in response to a threat she didn’t take seriously or is there something more sinister?  Join Carly as she steps onto the tiger’s back, determined to ride it to success, even as Linc hovers, offering his support in helping her succeed.

This is extremely well-written story that hits all the high spots for me.  I can’t wait to read the next one.

Grade: A

Summary:

New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin raises chills as danger stalks a woman determined to make it in a man’s world . . .

Five weeks ago Carly Drake stood at her grandfather’s grave. Now she’s burying Drake Trucking’s top driver, and the cops have no leads on the hijacking or murder. Faced with bankruptcy, phone threats and the fear of failure, Carly has to team up with the last man she wants to owe—Lincoln Cain.

Cain is magnetic, powerful, controlling—and hiding more than one secret. He promised Carly’s granddad he’d protect her. The old man took a chance on him when he was nothing but a kid with a record, and now he’s the multi-millionaire owner of a rival firm.

But Linc’s money can’t protect Carly from the men who’ll do anything to shut her down, or the secrets behind Drake Trucking. If she won’t sell out, the only way to keep her safe is to keep her close . . . and fight like hell.
