Beyond Series Novella Bundle
This bundle contains novellas #3.5, #4.5 and #5.5 in the bestselling, award-winning BEYOND series. Catch up before the explosive seventh book comes out later this year!
Beyond Temptation - Novella #3.5
Hacker Noah Lennox lives in the shadows, fighting a one-man war against the corrupt leader of Sector Five. The only weak spot in his armor is his best friend’s sweet younger sister--the girl he swore to save, even from himself. With her brother dead and a target on their backs, getting her out of the sector--and out of danger--meant giving her up for good.
Or so he thought.
Emma Cibulski has made her own home in Sector Four, as a full member of the O’Kane gang and apprentice to their infamous tattoo artist. When Noah--the first man she ever loved--stumbles back into her life, it’s her chance to have it all. The spark between them burns hotter than ever, and this time her fantasies are far from innocent.
But can they handle the heat...or will Noah’s dark secrets drive them apart forever?
Beyond Solitude - Novella #4.5
Mia risked everything to walk away from a gilded cage in Sector Two, but grasping at freedom was only her first trial. With no protection in the sectors, every day is a struggle to stay alive. Her best hope now is a job working for the most dangerous gang in Sector Four--the O’Kanes.
When a motorcycle accident leaves Derek Ford riding a desk at the O'Kane compound, the last thing he needs is a sexy new assistant upending his office and his life. Especially someone like Mia, who greets his growls and commands with smiles and a fierce independence.
The friction between them generates an undeniable heat, and Mia's stubborn refusal to let life beat her down stirs Ford's darkest protective instincts. He has the power to take care of her, protect her not only from discomfort but from threats of her past...but first he'd have to claim her.
And Mia will never be kept again.
Beyond Possession - Novella #5.5
Tatiana Stone has worked hard to establish herself as one of Sector Four's most skilled crafters. All she wants is peace--but the sins of her father haunt her. He ruled the sector as a petty tyrant before the O'Kane takeover, and plenty of people harbor bitter memories of his cruelty. Especially now that Tatiana’s beloved baby sister has fallen in with a man who wants to start a revolution.
Zan failed his boss once, and it won't happen again. So when Dallas O'Kane asks him to defuse the rebellion brewing in the sector, he’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done--including seduce Tatiana. It’s the perfect opportunity to get closer to the pretty crafter and complete his mission. But what he discovers is a fiery, passionate woman--and an affair that could destroy them both.

I am struggling with this review, because a lot of what I said in my review for the Beyond Series Bundle Volume 1 is true for the three bundles I am attempting to review here. The overarching themes of the series are freedom to determine your own life, freedom to love who you love, bodily autonomy – including consent and reproductive freedom, and over coming the many forms of toxic masculinity. All of this was present in the first bundle of books, and all of it continues to play out through the remaining books and novellas. The series, as a whole and in each piece, can be read for fun and as political act of resistance against the growing move to assert a white supremacist patriarchy. Happily ever afters are given to queers, people of color, sex workers, drug runners, drug addicts, bootleggers and bikers. They are all consenting adults who value found family.
To recap, or set the stage, or something: At some point in the future, A city is built that is designed to be self supporting and an oasis of goodness – Eden. Solar flares destroy the power grid in the United States and it descends into anarchy. Eden is, as I said in the previous review, “a city ruled the way the Christian Right would like – no premarital sex, no extramarital sex, women are wives or daughters, only the cis-gendered and straight are allowed.” Eden also has the super soldiers, the weapons and the technology. Surrounding the city are the Sectors where the factories and the sin live. The Sectors remember that Sector Three was bomb into oblivion when they started to get too pushy. The threat of being flattened by Eden hangs over the Sectors. As the books progress, the growing conflict between Eden and the Sectors becomes a more prominent story. Each book and novella is still a romance, but the looming war shapes the characters, their desires and obstacles.
The stories are intertwined, so though each book or novella focuses on a primary romantic relationship – 2, 3, or 4 people – you cannot skip around. But you can binge read them because they flow beautifully from one book to the next. As the series goes on, the stakes political get higher, and the sex gets a little quieter. It becomes more of an interlude than a focus, which is appropriate for the way the story grows.
Kit Rocha’s Beyond series has been one of my safe places this year. I’ve read all the books more than once and some more than others. I haven’t gone into any specifics because you should discover them for yourself. The characters you resonate with will be your own and not mine. I have my doubts that 2020 will be any better or less stressful than 2019 has been, and as I follow the threads to even more new authors, I will be coming back to Kit Rocha. For one thing they have a new book in a new series, Deal With the Devil, coming out next year. For another they continue to be smart and funny on Twitter.
I realize post apocalyptic erotic romance isn’t going to be everyone’s thing, but if it’s yours or you know someone who would like it, start with Beyond Shame and work your way forward.

Wow. Just...wow.
I need more of Sector 4. This series just took my breath away. The stories, the writing, the editing...everything was just about perfect.
I read a lot, and I need a book to grab me by the throat in order to take the time to write a review. This series grabbed my throat, my heart and my va jayjay!!
The heroes are sexy, strong, and some are a little damaged, but they love hard. The heroines are everything I wish I was - bold, brave despite situations that should have broken them, sensual and sexy.
I highly recommend this series. I'm on to the spin-offs now.
Happy reading!!

It's a good story
This is a good story. It's not just kink and play, with different people. It actually has a story, and it's a good one. I may have gotten the 1st book for free, but I paid full price for all the rest.

Great short reads
Gritty romance and sex. Fighting and action.
Solid characters. The loyalty and strong women leads make for interesting stories. I enjoyed these three stories.

Sector Four
This is a series that keeps getting better. These novellas are shorter, more concise, versions of the longer books, yet are full on stories of life in the sectors, and especially in sector four where Dallas and Lex O'Kane rule. It helps to start at the beginning because of the overarching storyline. But each book has a featured couple and a happy ending. In fact, in spite of the lack of boundaries, they exemplify trust, fidelity and respect in relationships in a way that few books I've read accomplish. I'm continuing on to the next book now and looking forward to the latest adventure in Sector Four. My reading marathon continues.

I absolutely love every book in this series. I didn't think I would be able to get into the post-apocalyptic world but I sure did. I would recommenced this series to be read in order so you will understand who the other characters are.
