Beyond Intent
Gabby has found the love of her life. Her bakery is doing better than she could ever imagine, and her two best friends each found love in the most unexpected places. But just when everything seems too good to be true, she realizes it probably is. Jason's hours have become longer, and there are mornings when she rolls over to find an empty bed. It isn't until Jason's hidden past surfaces that she realizes there's more on the line than love. In order for their relationship to survive, Gabby must convince Jason to let her be a part of a world he's fought so hard to forget. She knows their love is worth fighting for, but will he allow his family's dark secrets to shape his future with Gabby?

Guess who's back boys and girls that's right Gabby and Jason and it's wonderful to see how they're getting along and what they've been up to. Gabby had her tale of woe and it's only fitting that Jason gets his and I loved him right from the start, but it was so nice to fall in love with him all over again he knows how to treat a girl, "I'm sorry for making you ever feel that way. I've been so confused with everything, but having you show up was exactly what I needed. I'll tell you that much, but I wouldn't have thought it." He's still possessive, "you belong to me," Jason said in between kisses." I really did enjoy catching up with these two and the surprises they had in store.

Power couple
Gabby and Jason have always been a wonderful couple. After Jason decided not to keep secrets for Gabby, she helped him find the secrets of his family at her own detriment. Fortunately, everything worked out and life is really great for them.

Brilliant
I loved this continuation of Jason and Gabby's story. The heartbreak they go through. A brilliant read. I can't wait for more Brandy and Aaron.

I trembled when I thought about all of the other things he might be keeping from me. He was building up walls, and I had no idea why.
**
Gabby is in a good place at the moment. She has the love of her life and her business is thriving! Or at least that is how it feels until Jason starts seeking out answers about his family. Now he is shutting her out and evading her questions. Her world is flipping upside down. There is only so much a woman can take before she loses it and demands answers. And Gabby is there. She needs him to start talking or start walking…
Ever read a book that the second you start it is like you fall back into this comfort zone? It is like you never left even though it may have been sometime since you last visited the series? I cannot be the only one right? Well that is how I feel when I read one of Bolton's books. Especially this series. There is no way I could ever get enough of her books or these characters. I am 100% looking forward to what’s to come.
**
“I want to exist in this life we’ve created,” I begged. “I’m choosing this life with you because I love you. I belong…”
“You belong to me,” Jason said in between kisses.
**
I mentioned in my review of the last book, BEYOND REASON, that Bolton gives us readers a romance that is real. Again, she proves this fact with this book. I cannot get enough of this woman and her books and her romances! And I just absolutely melt into the book when I am reading one of her sweet romantic scenes. What can I say? I am a sucker for a well written story that has a beautiful love story.
**
My life was full of detours and crash landings, and that was okay because it made me who I was today. I wouldn’t ever want to live a life that started out at “point a” and landed at “point b” without any hops, skips, or jumps along the way. How dreadful that would be.
**
This book is going to evoke some emotion and maybe have you a little disgruntled with Jason a time or two. You are going to question a few of his actions and wonder why he is jeopardizing his future with Gabby. But hang tight. Things have a way of working themselves out by going off in another direction. You’ll see. Would I recommend this story? I’d be a fool not to. Get it and inhale it. You’ll thank me later. 5 Ahhh-mazing Stars!

Since the previous book, Beyond Reason, Gabby has noticed Jason acting more secretive than usual. He’s taking more business trips, having phone conversations that abruptly end when she enters the room, and now the icing on the cake is that she’s waking up alone in the middle of the night. Gabby knows Jason loves her and she is his entire world, but when he continues to shut her out of this recently acquired side of his life she cannot help, but worry. She knows his past isn’t pretty, but she won’t be left in the dark when her man so desperately seems to need her by his side. As much as Jason wants to fight against Gabby’s wishes, their future, if they have a future at all, will rely on them working together as a team, not as separate individuals.
Beyond Intent was one serious emotional roller coaster. It began with a pit in my stomach with Jason’s sudden aloofness in Beyond Reason and followed into Beyond Intent. Being the first couple introduced in this series, I will always have this deeply seeded connection to their story. Jason’s past as dark as we find out it is does have a bright spot that will forever effect Jason and Gabby’s life, which of course, I can’t tell you what that is without spoiling a major surprise! Don’t expect this story to be all hearts and flowers as Gabby and Jason must face the trials and tribulations of life to find their happiness. I know it will hit home for many readers because of the emotions behind it. Beyond Intent is yet again a masterfully written book as we can expect from Karice Bolton that beautifully compliments the Beyond Love series. You’ll cry, laugh, grieve, and worry right along with these characters. Karice has this ability to pull from the pages of the readers own life and put them onto paper. You live right along with the characters in her novels and that isn’t something so easily accomplished in the literary world. If you haven’t discovered Karice’s work, I highly suggest you do so as soon as possible.

The is like a mini series you would watch on T.V. Each book so far in this series is based on separate couples. You get to see how they meet and fall in love, only for it to end and have you waiting to read more. I've never read anything like this series. In most series you get a couple with an epilogue, then you go on to read each book that way. Their whole story, HEA, and an Epilogue. As I stated above, this is more of a mini series. The author doesn't rush through it to give you that HEA and Epilogue and move to the secondary characters...I love it! It's different! Looking forward to reading more!

I have adored Karice Bolton since I read the Watcher's Trilogy. I have read everyone one of hers books.
There were so many unanswered questions about Jason during the previous books. Hushed conversations, or conversations that abruptly ended when Gabby walked in the room. This book answers all those questions and more.
