Great story and characters!
Scary at times. Keeps you guessing.
I love Kathryn Shay – her books are always entertaining with wonderful characters
Awesome author! love reading her books
I liked it the close family strength and loyalty great read
I thought the ending was rather abrupt, not explaining why Nick had to make the decision he did. It was obvious they were going to end up with each other, but don’t understand why it had to happen that way.
Love this author!
Wonderful story! It grabbed my attention early and held it until the end.
great story. loved every minute of it. fantastic author
I always enjoy Kathryn Shay books.
I liked this book because it contained romance, suspense but is an easy read.
Great book!
Interesting view on how this family developed, grew, and influenced each other.
Entertaining!
Love to read books by Kathryn Shay, however, there were a few unanswered questions, underdeveloped characters (Trey and the stalker guy). There were loose ends.
Another page turner from Ms Shay. A great story that takes into account actual human reactions. I really enjoyed this story.
It showed wonderful research into the lives of the Secret Service. It’s the start of a wonderful series about a family of agents. The characters are well constructed and the plot also. I had a hard time putting it down and look forward to the next in the series.
03/18/2021 Once I began reading “Above and Beyond” (nook) I was unable to put it down. Ms. Shay uses the interesting concept of heroes who work for the Secret Service. Nick (the Secret Service agent, of course) is tasked with protecting Isabelle and her sons. While keeping her safe, they fall in love. This was a heartwarming story.
The blurb sounded MUCH better than the book turned out to be. I usually like this author’s work, but this was disappointing.
Although I enjoyed the book, I didn’t enjoy the obvious political tones.
I love it! I love Kathryn Shay books. They are always so interesting and full of action and Romance!
