Above and Beyond (Twist of Fate, Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Lucy Lennox (Author), Sloane Kennedy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 3,225 ratings

Lucky

Two years ago I humiliated myself by declaring my love to an older man who clearly didn’t share my feelings. And that’s fine. One day Zach will come around. Meanwhile, I’ve built a life for myself in northern Montana, pursuing my college degree while working hard toward certification in high-risk alpine search and rescue on the side. And perhaps I’ve kept the danger part a secret from my two dads. After all, what they don’t know won’t hurt them...

Everything’s going exactly as planned until my dads send Zach to check on me just as I’m dealing with an ex who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word no. It’s bad enough Zach still thinks of me as a child; now he also thinks I’m incapable of looking out for myself. I need to get him off my back before he finds out I’m not heading to Wyoming for summer break like everyone thinks. I’m going to Glacier National Park to learn how to rappel from helicopters…

Zach

Two years ago I wanted something I couldn't have, so I threw myself back into my job as an Army Ranger and wound up scarred in more ways than one. When the army dumps my sorry self back into the real world, it’s time to start over. I accept a summer job teaching high-risk search and rescue. On the way there, all I have to do is peek in on little Lucky Reed and make sure he’s okay.

He’s not. Someone has it out for him, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let him get hurt on my watch. My plan is to keep him safe until he heads south for his summer job playing trail guide to tourists. Once he’s gone, I’ll be free to head to Glacier where my biggest challenge will be keeping a handful of alpine search and rescue students safe as they learn how to dangle from helicopters high above the Rocky Mountains.

It’s all fine. Until it’s not. Danger follows us to Glacier, and by the time I finally start seeing Lucky as more than the awkward teenager he used to be, I wonder if it’s too late to convince him that this scarred soldier sees him as anything but little anymore.

Amazing 4th Book
Another amazing story from Lucy and Sloane. The way these stories are told are beautiful. This is Lucky and Zach's story . Lucky who has had a crush on Zach since he was a youngster hasn't gone away and finally he gets his chance to see if Zach is willing to love Lucky like he needs to. I love this series and the collaboration between Lucy and Sloane is off the charts. I highly recommend this book and series.

    This book reminded me of why I fell in love with these authors. It had everything I love. The writing was perfection. It drew me in, and held me tight all the way until the last page. It was emotional, had angst, some drippings of suspense, hawt curl your toes smexy times, and love surrounded it all. I’m a sucker for a hurt alpha, and a virginal man who knows exactly what he wants.
    The banter was perfection, didn’t go overboard, the story was amazing. The side characters kept me entertained, and the HEA swoon. My only and I only have one complaint, was The Who did it answer. I thought that was a quick cop out.
    Ugh please give me more of this type of story. I crave this. This is how you start a new year.

    I’ve liked this series and I was excited to read Lucky’s story. He was introduced in the first book as a sweet 15 year old, then showed up in the second as a resourceful and snarky 16 year old before his appearance in the third book at age 17, where he met Zach. Now 20 years old in the summer before his senior year of college, Lucky is still as kind, enthusiastic, and fun as he was as a teen. Lucky as a character is great, totally endearing and admirable. Lucky and his story of working to be certified as a helicopter rescue person while also having to work with his first big heartbreaking crush was a 5 star story. Unfortunately for Lucky and for me, the object of his affection was Zach. And Zach was a brooding, insecure, angst-ridden wreck who bailed on Lucky over and over again, not getting over himself until the final chapter.

    I know that there’s a sizeable audience for broken/damaged characters who are lost in their pain and put the other MC though a LOT before finding a HEA. I see these types of characters and books raved about, so it’s not that this isn’t a good book (it is), it’s just not a good fit for me as a reader. I like my guys to be kind, emotionally mature, and generally angst free. Zach isn’t a character written for me, and I didn’t enjoy him. Oh well!

    A lot of the not-graphic Yaoi (aka m/m) novels by authors I love a lot can sometimes hit & miss the mark when it comes to intimacy or whatever the magic is that connects the erotic with the heartfelt. In ‘Above & Beyond,’ intimacy in a an almost hesitant and non-presumptive way, is its consistent basis. & it’s eroticism is based on familiarity and mutuality much like a YA romance with the intimacy portrayed as so achingly caring and above board that it’s almost sophomorically so. But frankly in this present era of coerced sociopolitical “affinity” and manufactured affirmations, it’s blissfully relieving & a turn on to have somebody love somebody just bc they do.

    Lucky met Zach and fell for him like a ton of bricks, but at the time Lucky was a teenager and Zach didn't want him to be hurt. The saying is " sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind" so Zach was and hoped someday he would be forgiven.
    This is the fourth book in this series and I certainly hope there are more books to come. There are lots of funny things to laugh at as well as serious things to be considered, but there are no sections of this book that is boring. Before I read this book I took out the first three in order to re-acquaint myself with the characters and I am glad I did that. I can't wait for the next book and hopefully it will come sooner than the almost two year's wait for this one, but it was DEFINITELY worth the wait.

    There were AT LEAST 3-4 times during this book when I came so close to a DNF. At 90% I cursed like a sailor at Zach and almost threw my Kindle. WHAT! A! DOUCHE! Lucky! Sweet Lucky! You deserved so much better than Zach and his insane whiplash! He stabbed your heart sooooooo many times my sweet boy! WHY would you keep going back for more? After Lucky walked away at 90% I was done with Zach and the book. I honestly wanted to transport myself into the book just so I could kick Zach's butt and slap some sense into Lucky. I skimmed through to the end and was completely disappointed with the ending. Lucky deserved more. Zach deserved to suffer SO much more before being granted Lucky's forgiveness. This book and the story had so much potential, but the author ruined it by writing Zach the way she did.

    Tasked to check on close friends’ son, Rescue Trainer Zach is reluctant because the son Paramedic and college student Lucky has a crush on him. Initially, I was not a fan of this storyline. The MC Zach is intense, growly, hard, and even mean which sets a dark tone to the tale. It’s the “I’m angry because I don’t want to want you” bit. However, understanding, compassion, and love prevail, of course. My one critique is the big reveal, seemed over-the-top dramatic and not keeping with Zach’s personality, which made it superficial or inauthentic. All in all, an interesting read. Rating: 3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is the weakest of the set because I didn't fall in love with either character and - - - - - (I don't know if this counts as a spoiler) - - - - - although I felt Lucky's pain I thought the reasons Zach kept pushing him away were inconsistent and sometimes didn't really make any sense.

    Kennedy and Lennox together are absolutely formidable. This tale of Zach and Lucky is written with the care the two characters deserve. Loved it, and it breaks my heart that I’ve finished the series. I sincerely hope that the authors find an opportunity to bring their talents together again whether it’s to flesh out the Twist of Fate series or to pursue another series.

    I can't let this series go. After reading the first 3 books it was a hard wait for the forth. I wish there was more as I'm hooked. Starting the series from the beginning I remember Lucky as a young kid. It was abit of a jump him being grown up. I wasn't sure how to feel at first however I waited forever for a book about Lucky finding the love he deserved. So glad it happened. Will definitely read the books again....and hopefully find another good series. For now I need to sleep as I stayed up far to late to finish the book in rapid time.
