Beyond Jealousy is the story of Rachel, Ace and Cruz. From the very first book in this series, I've been wanting to know more about Ace. He's a smart-mouthed tattoo artist with definite "skills". No wonder Rachel fell in love with him. But something went wrong and they've been dancing around each other since the early books in this series. There's definite history there, and its not good. Oh, then there's Cruz. He comes along and fills up the hole Ace left in Rachel's life, but things are ...complicated. It's not just Rachel he wants. He wants Ace too. 
 Cruz manages to convince Ace and Rachel to give their threesome a shot at being real, and the reader gets to experience all their desire and their insecurities in this relationship as they work through the problems their explosive sexual attraction can't mask. There's some awesome character development here and some revelations while they work through their fears. For me, that was truly the best part of this book -- the journey these three have to take to have each other. 
 For me, Beyond Jealousy was really Ace's book, with a side of Cruz and Rachel. Cruz was pretty damn hot, especially when he dropped his defenses and let his feelings for Ace and Rachel show. 
 There are some great moments with Lex in this book too. She has an understanding of these men and what makes them tick and isn't afraid to confront them on it. Gotta love her. 
 This series just keeps getting better with each book, as the O'Kane gang deals with their enemies, and they find their happiness in spite of what's going on in this world. There are some pretty scary moments at the end of Beyond Jealousy and quite a bit of foreshadowing for the upcoming books. 
 This book may just be one of my favorites in the series. The writing is just incredible. Donna and Bree, the ladies of Kit Rocha, capture Ace on the pages perfectly, gradually filling in his story until you see the whole painting of his life. It is really quite lovely. 
 If you aren't reading this series, I'd highly recommend it. Kit Rocha doesn't just know how to write hot, dirty sex -- they know how to put characters on the page that have depth and can easily rip your heart out as they give you a glimpse at their deepest, darkest fears. 
 Even though I wanted "more" in those final scenes between Ace, Cruz and Rachel, I'm still rating this a 5. It stayed with me for days, and I still want to go back and do a re-read.
