Sit back, relax and let Katherine Garbera's latest sexy new story soothe out your aches. Beyond the Limits is the final book in the Space Cowboys series and it features astronaut Isabelle Wolsten and Antonio ‘Playboy’ Curzon. The story blew my mind from the start. What impressed me most are the main characters. They were so strong, dynamic and had such depth that you start believing they are real people – and if they were real indeed, I believe they'd make the world a little more interesting . Isabelle is smart, sexy and knows exactly what she wants. I love her spunkiness and her bravery. And Antonio is the perfect man for her. Not because he is tall, hot and handsome but because he is tough yet passionate and endearing. I fell for him from the start—all that muscle! Antonio and Isabelle compliment each other even though Isabelle really wants to not be distracted by her fellow teammate. But sparks fly, hormones rage and…well you get the drift. Just go get this book all you romance fiends...because it has everything you want in a HEA! And I’m sure you’ll agree, after reading the book, that Isabelle and Antonio are definitely one of the most sexy fictional romance couples you’ve met!
Highly Recommended

*An ARC was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
I was over the moon to receive an advanced copy of this book, pun intended. I have read many of Katherine's books and enjoyed everyone of them. "Beyond the Limits" has blown me away. I am a lover of the night sky and this was the first series dealing with astronauts that I have read. There were a lot of what I believe is accurate detail regarding NASA and other space race companies, I can only imagine the amount of research that went into the series. I wasn't sure if I would like an astronaut series but I loved it!
The hero, Antonio, "Playboy," is once again training with the NASA group and is representing Space One. He has always been attracted to the heroine, Izzy aka "Bombshell", a NASA pay load Specialist and his biggest competition. From the beginning, you can feel the sexual attention between these two, both in competition for the space mission and as they pursue each other and fight their attraction. The characters are believable and likable, actually, I fell in love with these two and didn't want their story to end. The story is woven with just the right amount of personal interaction and technical information. I honestly did not know what to expect but I should have known better because Katherine always weaves a wonderful tale.
Izzy was a strong character that has flaws and insecurities and determination. She knows that loving Antonio can lead to heartache and is determined to not become her mother. I understood Izzy's feelings and I loved her determination and drive, I loved Izzy's desire to be the best and to let no one stand in her way. Antonio was a man torn between two loves, his love of ranching and his love of space. The love and support of his family was a nice addition to his character and really spoke to the man that he is. I really enjoyed how he treated Izzy as an equal and his number one competitor, never condescending or controlling but supportive. The dynamics of these two characters was well done.
This story was sweet, sexy, well-written and far from predictable. There were intense, honest feelings and believable dialogue. There is a HEA for the characters and I didn't want their story to end. I enjoyed the story and the interaction of other characters of the book, that I have already purchased the rest of the stories so I can read them. In the end, it was a very lovely story with just the right amount of sexual tension and friendship. My favorite part of the book is Antonio reading to Izzy, now that is a sexy man.

4 1/2 STARS!
Intense, sexy and fun! With the third and final installment of her SPACE COWBOYS series, Katherine Garbera takes us into the flirtation of "Bombshell" and "Playboy"! They're a couple of the front runners leading up to the final selection of crew to go on the first mission and this bit of last minute training they are going to go through could make them or break them. Fun characters with a good bit of complex knowledge of the space program thrown in to make it an enjoyable read that's not your ordinary romance novel. I really enjoyed the entire series!
Astronaut Isabelle "Bombshell" Wolsten has fought tooth and nail to get where she is in her career with NASA, and she doesn't want to stop here. She's determined to get one of the last few positions on the CRONUS mission to space. Her biggest competition is an Argentinian hunk who distracts her with just a look!
Astronaut Antonio "Playboy" Curzon is trying to get the same spot Izzy wants, and he's working even harder to get past a momentary speed bump in his career. He hasn't been to space yet, and he wants it so bad he can taste it. Can he seriously let himself get distracted by a pretty face? Oh who is he kidding? Izzy is much more than that ... she's brains, beauty and just a genuinely fun person to be around. He can't resist her!

This was a very hot story. Izzy and Antonio are competing for places on a space mission. Neither one likes to lose. But they also have some very hot chemistry between them.
I liked how well they worked together and how much they pushed each other to do better with their training. They really brought out the best in each other. They both have emotional baggage, plus the fear of a relationship derailing their space mission.
There was plenty of excitement within the training program as well, and I loved the ending.

This last book in series was phenomenal!! I had never read anything like this before regarding the subject matter from establishing a training facility to figuring the final crew! It's a great romantic HOT READ BUT what set it apart from most was the authentic storylines that got me thinking about having a partner, hubby or family member working with NASA & the extreme Issues of real life that occur ! What an amazing thought provoking book that's about as real as can be & it had me in the edge of my seat wondering how these two could possibly merge their relationship & careers along with the many unknown potential factors of employment end results , placement & danger associated with ongoing decisions that are potentially constantly changing . Praise to Katherine for working through this angsty book in such an intelligent way. 👍🏻Highly recommend!

Not being new to this author, but I had never given reviews of her books before. I was pleasantly surprised reading the book. I didn’t read the other parts of her Space Cowboy series, so all was new to me. I liked it a lot, I must say. It was a hot, spicy romantic story where the hero and heroine slowly explored their mutual attraction, but the action wasn’t slow at all. It was written in a very compelling style, in which the environment, the attraction between the two people involved and their competitiveness showed. I loved the easiness, playfulness and the oh la la sexiness of Antonio Curzon, who had his own demons to fight and the fight of Izzy to maintain aloof like nothing can bother her, but in the meantime is she a passionate bombshell when she is with Antonio. It was very interesting indeed to read about their competition to be in the astronauts program, all in order to be in the first mission to Mars. What I loved was that Antonio admitted that with Izzy he was better than without her. They pushed each other to the limits with an honesty that was mindbaffling.
What is it all about: Izzy and Antonio are both competing to be a part of the CRONUS mission and more than that they want to be named to a crew that they will know will be going to space. That first mission is very important to them because despite all of their training not all astronauts make it to a final mission to space.

Fantastic read. It's fun, sweet and sexy and will pull you in from the beginning. It's well written with characters you will love. Izzy is strong and feisty. Antonio is sexy. I enjoyed the banter and chemistry between them was off the charts sizzling and steamy. I loved how they pushed each other but yet worked well together. Can Antonio and Izzy get past their insecurities and have the relationship they both want? I absolutely enjoyed this book. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.

HAWT, HAWT, HAWT!!! This book is Smokin Hawt!! Between the competitive nature of Isabelle and Antonio you also see the sparks fly with their attractions for each other. Their chemistry is off the charts. I highly recommend reading this book.

This is the 3rd and final book in the series. This time it's 2 candidates that are and have been in complete competition for spots on the shuttle going up into space. The plot stayed pretty good and gave you some surprised. You could tell the heroine and hero had major attraction and no matter what they tried they failed in trying to contain the attraction to the other. You could tell it hurt them to stop but they did until they couldn't do it any longer. The faults they had and eventually talked about was very interesting as well.
The writer made the story and characters fun and yet interesting. The story was getting back to what I have normally read from this author in the past. Keep up the great work.
