Beyond Control (Beyond Love #1) by Karice Bolton

From Goodreads

Everything in Gabby Sullivan's life is going according to plan--her father's plan. With a brilliant job in the corporate world, glamorous parties, and a beautiful condo overlooking Seattle, she is thrown into a world she doesn't want to claim. It's not until Jason crashes into her world that she realizes she's not really living.

Facing his own demons, Jason attempts to piece his life back together after a personal tragedy. Damaged by his ghosts, Jason finally begins to forgive himself whenever Gabby's around. She makes him feel--alive, something he hasn't felt for a long time.

It's only as their love grows and secrets are revealed that they realize a devastating connection from their past might actually tear them apart.

My thoughts

This was a freebie read from Amazon that had sat on my Kindle for 10 years.  The trouble for us book alcoholics is, that their are too many books to read and not enough time to read them in! 

This is the first in a series of books by this Author called Beyond Love.  This book features thee female lead character Gabby Sullivan, she appears to have a privileged life some would say.  With an over protective father, who has mapped her life out for her.  She is feeling suffocated to a certain extent and needs to break free.  When a stranger called Jason crashes into her life one day, he brings a new perspective into her life in more ways than one.  

A bond is formed between the two that as you read, hints may go deeper than you think.

I enjoyed this story and the interaction between the main characters Gabby and Jason, and how the secondary characters were involved in their lives. .  Whilst it was a sweet read, it kept me engaged when reading and I was left wanting to grab it again once I had put it down.   

The Author mentioned the following songs in the book and  I had to find the following song ~ Tidal Wave by Sub Focus, it was not a song nor a performer that I knew and I played it while I read the book.  Gabby played it as she was driving home from work one evening.  Nor had I heard ~ Love Somebody by Maroon 5, I did .know of them as a group though.
