Book Review: Beyond the Rules by Anna del Mar

Beyond the Rules,” book 3 of “At the Brink” series is a ménage à quatre which explores a scenario beyond Big Love and Fifty Shades of Grey. It follows Nina Leon, a computer genius in search of a fellow hacker who can save her life. Instead she finds three wounded warriors, ex-SEALs to be exact who are also fighting demons of their own.

Its erotica at its most provocative. Three men who formed a brotherhood from a war they had to fight. A woman who only wants to do right, to find justice for a brother she had lost. Put the four of them together and they become a formidable team of modern day warriors.

But, their desires get in the way. And for them to be a cohesive unit, they have to find a balance and the key to bind them as one.

Not for the faint of heart, “Beyond the Rules” is not just erotica. It is also a thriller. In between working out their personal dynamics, Nina, Tanner, Aiden and Balthazar also have to fight the bad guys. In between hacking into the most dangerous criminal organizations in the world, they also have to use handguns and automatic weapons out in the field. It might not be Jason Bourne, but “Beyond the Rules” can give other spy thrillers some serious competition.

Beyond the Rules” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content and violence.

Description

When Nina Leon crash-lands in the rugged mountains of Montana, she’s fleeing from a deadly enemy and a painful past, desperately searching for the legendary hacker who can help her defeat the ruthless terrorist stalking her. Instead, she’s rescued by three brave ex-SEALs who will do anything in their power to protect her.

Tanner Vazquez, Aiden Black, and Balthazar Flint live by a pact forged in battle and signed with blood. It’s a bond that has saved their lives more than once. They’re committed to watching each other’s back and sharing everything.

Everything.

As different as they are, Nina hits all their buttons. They agree. She’s the one they’ve been waiting for. But Nina’s not looking to commit to anyone. She doesn’t believe in love. Her life has made her the ultimate skeptic. Lust? Yes. Sex? Absolutely. Love? What a crock.

Protecting Nina is gonna be hard enough. But convincing Nina to stay, fulfilling her sexual fantasies and getting this brilliant hacker to trust and love them—all three of them—for good?

That’s gonna be a hell of a mission.
