Summary

All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond - beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman's daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.

The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal-men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four's ruthless leader, and he'll defend the O'Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.

Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they're crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she'll have to open herself to the gang, and to a world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

HOT, HOT, HOT and then some!!!

Man oh man..... This book was HOT, HOT, HOT..... What a guy Jas is, lucky Noelle!!

Characters are fab - totally alpha males, strong sassy females and loads of action!!



Noelle was a quiet girl who had been stifled living in Eden. Jas is a rough, tough hard living man who has seen a lot during his life in the sectors.

We are introduced to the O'Kane gang and their 'King' Dallas. Although a gang, this group of people very much stick together and have each other's backs... They have a real family vibe and a healthy respect for each other.



The gang are very sexual and are all very open and comfortable with the life they lead. Through the story there are some smokin' hot encounters!! Surprisingly, given the hard, down & dirty living they do, there is a moral code that all members of the gang buy into and no-one is forced to take part in anything they don't want to!!



The story has action, passion, romance and some violence.

There's cage fighting, tattoos a plenty and a journey of self discovery - it's great watching Noelle evolve from the sheltered Eden girl to a fully engage free-thinking O'Kane.....



Looking forward to the reading Lex & Dallas's story, as well as the rest of the books in the series - have read the teaser 1st chapter to 'Beyond Control' and I'm betting this is gonna be another cracker of a book!!!

I'm sure loads more cold showers will be required... ;D

Intriguing!

What did you like most about Beyond Shame?

Beyond Shame......... What a read! It took some time to get into but once your in, your hooked. Fantastic detail from the author that leaves your imagination running wild! This was a fab read, full of passion and danger. After reading the latest of fifty shades/bared to you - this book opened my mind to different types of lust, passion and feelings.

What did you like best about this story?

The story of Beyond Shame allows you to take a step outside of normality, the set up of districts and dealings is exciting and leaves you curious - for more! The innocence of characters, the experience of others and mixed with violence and reality - fantastic.

Have you listened to any of Lucy Malone’s other performances? How does this one compare?

It took me a while to get used to Lucy Malone, this may be as it was my first audible book and i was adapting to a new way of ''reading''. I found this altered my imagination to start. However, Lucy Malone communicates clearly and keeps you interested.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I loved this book! Despite not being able to relate to surroundings and circumstances like other reads this book is delightful. Noel, Lex and Jas cause a mix of feelings to begin as you grow to accept their lifestyle and needs - Highly recommended!

Any additional comments?

This was my first Audible book and now Im hooked! It's so easy to put your headphones on and get lost in a world of imagination. Strongly recommended.

Unique storyline

This storyline is very unique. The characters fit well in this world and have been written in a sensitive way. The relationship is complicated but works very nicely. Hot as hell and adventurous scenarios. A great performance.

meh

I love steamy books, but this one didn't do it for me. It got boring and there is no aftercare after bdsm scenes (except the tattoo scene).
I did like the plot so it get an extra star.
