"a great book for the romance reader looking for something new!"
Mild, modest Hannah Holt has a few problems, not the least
of which is getting rid of the bar her Aunt who was not her
Aunt gave her in her will. When Gnaegi, an Elder from her
own world, comes to take her home she resists as much as
she can-she doesn't want to return there any more than she
wants to keep the bar for the rest of her life. The
absolute last thing she needs is the interference of the
local police! Local sheriff Adam McGreggor isn't look for the romance of
a lifetime when he stumbles into a Hannah Holt's bar-and
her life, but the mysteries that Hannah holds inside are
intriguing, and Hannah herself attracts him like no woman
has in too long a time. Unfortunately, his fascination with
her and her secrets spells nothing but trouble for Hannah,
and when the secrets that she holds begin to unravel. will
they spell his doom as well? Hannah and Adam's story is interesting and unusual. It has
interesting cultures, especially the Old-Order-Amish-like
culture that exists on the other side of the Threshold, and
a very diverting plotline of half-breeds and Balance. The
author is clearly still in the early stages of her career,
yet BEYOND THE THRESHOLD is a quite enjoyable story. It
does have some sensual content, but it is neither overtly
graphic nor frequent. The romance is pleasing, perhaps a
little bit predictable, but still enjoyable. The dialogue
is fun to read, too, sprinkled as it is with dialect-words
of the Amish ilk. Action-oriented yet romantically
inclined, BEYOND THE THRESHOLD is a great book for the
romance reader looking for something new and different. Reviewed by Ann Leveille

It didn't shock Sheriff Adam McGreggor to discover the owner
of the local seaside nightclub was once part of a sect.
Hannah Holt's entire appearance and attitude just didn't fit
her profession. Her reluctance to press charges against an
assailant that left her battered and drugged, however, did
shock Adam to his core. Even more jolting was his
instantaneous attraction to this woman who fought his every
advance.
But Hannah has a secret he cannot begin to fathom ... she is
from a parallel world....
