While parts of the story were predictable, the story still captured and enthralled me. I could not put this one done!

Katherine's sister's husband (Peter Manning) is killed in a car accident along with his mistress. Later that same night she goes into labor only 7 months pregnant - gives birth to a baby girl but unfortunately dies due to complications. Just before she dies she pleads with Katherine to take care of her baby and not the let the Mannings raise her. As soon as she can leave the hospital, Katherine takes baby Allison and moves to Texas.

One day Jason Manning, Peter's brother, shows up at her door explaining that he is there to take Allison. As is somewhat expected, they felt an instant attraction to each other and start a relationship. Jason happens to be the black sheep of the Manning family and also wants to protect Allison from his parents.

There are many miscommunications and misunderstandings along the way. As with any good romance there are also many steamy moments along the way! A few unexpected events arise and kept me reading and wanting more until the very end.

I've read all of Sandra's books and I put this right up at the top of her best. This book is only seconded by Sandra's MIRROR IMAGE. A must read for any romance reader. Jason Manning is what dreams are made of.

characters: Jason Manning and Katherine Adams
Katherine runs away with her new born niece to save her from Katherine's brother-in-laws parents; Jason follows and finds her; trust is lacking from the beginning but slowly builds and they will find the way to each other.

wonderful humor in their interactions

Love Beyond Reason was one book I could not put down. I read it from beginning to end and when I finished I read it again. I love it!!! The characters came to life for me, there was plenty of steamy erotic moments and the book was loaded with romance. It was because of this book that I started buying anything with the name Sandra Brown on it. Top marks!!!

This has to be one of my absoulte favorites! I loved the storyline. I thought it was creative and inventive. Their romance was hot and steamy and I loved Jace. He took to baby Allison and I thought it was great when he referred to himself as Daddy when speaking to her. I loved it!

Even though Ms. Brown follows the "typical" romance novel formula, her story touches the readers and doesn't let up from beginning to end. I loved it!

I guess I fall somewhere in the middle on this one. It was okay, I liked it until the trailer scene. ...the enjoyment ended there. I love romance novels, so don't get me wrong. But even as romance novels go, this one was just a bit flat.

I have read over 20 of Sandra Browns books, and about half of them were great, half not. Usually because there was a lack of excitement, or because the characters contradicted themselves. The almost rape in this one was good. It spiced it up, made it exciting. But that's as good as it gets.

It might have been nice if they did have to actually battle it out with the grandparents, or if Katherine would have left after having found out about Jace's ex-wife and catching them in what looked like a compromising position. Her running off with the baby again would have made it exciting. Or she could have ran off when Jace left without a word for two days to go rescue his ex-wife, she should have been gone when he returned. But alas, none of that happened. Katherine just kept taking it. She was a total walking contradiction. As I said, the story is flat and predictable. The so called explosion at the end was just a stupid cop-out way to end the story. So I wouldn't break my neck to run out and buy this one. Read only if you have nothing better to do.

As many love stories' books this one start with a thrilling story of an "abducted" baby. After a few pages the main story drowns to oblivion and you'll only read about the love story and you wouldn't care about the "abduction". So the love story is good enough to keep you reading but don't expect any thrilling plot at any part of the book. You can read this book at once in a long flight or at the beach.

I've read many Sandra Brown novels and I found this an easy read for a Sunday afternoon. The ending was pretty predictable but it kept you guessing anyhow. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading romance.

This was a good book, but typical. It wasn't one of Sandra's best, but it was still Sandra. Towards the end, it got surprisingly interesting and kept me going until the sweet ending.
