USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Take the plunge with Beth Parker and be ready to fall headfirst Into the Blue…
“I promise. Wherever you are, Beth, I will always be with you," ~ Ayden
Blue Genes is the continuation of the bestselling trilogy, The Story of Us.
Handsome, media magnate, Ayden Stone came into Beth Parker’s life like a bolt out of the blue, introducing her to an extravagant lifestyle filled with promises, new experiences and sensual pleasures. Possessed by love, they have fulfilled a childhood dream to be man and wife, believing nothing can come between them ‘until death do us part.’
Having been tortured by tragic events involving angels and demons from their past, these star-crossed lovers are ready to start a new chapter in their lives. Now, family comes first.
But which family?
Time is running out! Difficult decisions must be made that will stretch their fated bond to its very limit. Unforeseen enemies are conspiring and about to test the very foundation of their relationship--trust.
Blue Genes is an emotional, adult fairy-tale that transcends the ordinary: a sensual, suspense filled story overflowing with love, laughter and a longing for a happy ever after.
But sometimes, longing just isn’t enough…
86,000 words of soul-searching and sensuality.

Sydney Jamesson is a USA Today bestselling author by night and an English teacher by day. She is nocturnal by nature and loves nothing more than staying up late, listening to music and being inspired to write. She has always written creatively; in her home is one enormous wastepaper basket full of discarded phrases, opening lines and pieces of dialogue that have hit her like lightning in the middle of the night. Her USA Today bestselling trilogy, THE STORY OF US sold worldwide, and she has been thrilled to continue Ayden Stone's and Beth Parker's epic love story in The Story of Us Series: Into the Blue, featuring Blue Genes, Blue Hearts and Blue Moon.

More recently, Sydney has focused on psychological suspense. THE DARKEST CORNERS was her first venture into the new genre: a complex love story filled with lots of angst, emotional scenes and edge of your seat suspense as a single father and a troubled young woman confront their deepest, darkest fears together. The twists come thick and fast and the ending is unforgettable!

    For full review please visit @sortegon.blogspot.com

    As you might know, if you read my review on The Story Of Us Trilogy. I was a total mess and needed some time to align my emotions. I still wanted to know more about Ayden and Elizabeth. Luckily, Sydney Jamesson continues their story in Blue Genes and does not disappoint. The Love, Passion, Sexiness, and Suspense is magnified between the couple. I just love that the supporting characters are brought out a little more in this one. I always had my eye on Jake, Ayden's best friend he is a slimy one with the ladies but he has a softer side when it comes to Elizabeth and Ayden's relationship. I also enjoyed reading more about Lester, driver and security extraordinaire to the Stones. Sydney Jamesson introduces new characters in this book ( Ayden's birth family). Let's just say that there is one particular person that you will love to hate, she is just all sorts of wrong.

    Ayden and Beth's love and insecurities will be tested and I felt every emotion, that is perfectly written.

    I have this feeling that Sydney Jamesson sits behind her computer with this devious smile and thinks to herself, " So how can I leave this reader wanting more ?"

    I say that because she is so good at it and now I have to " patiently " wait for Blue Hearts.

    Yet another exceptional installment in the beautiful story that is Ayden Stone and Beth Parker. Sydney, you have done it yet again. YOU BLEW MY MIND! Blue Genes was as fabulous to read as I thought it would be. It was hot, romantic, had me blue in the face with Ayden's family and had me surprise and blushing. But beautiful as ever by the love story that is Ayden Stone and Beth Parker. Sydney, I expect nothing but the best from your books and the best is what I got. I absolutely love and adore Ayden Stone and Beth Parker and thank you Sydney for taking me on this wonderful journey again into the lives of these beautiful characters. November can't come soon enough. Can't wait for Blue Hearts! ! !

    Anyone who has read the epic romance of Ayden Stone & his beloved Beth in the TouchStone series will be as thrilled as I am that Sydney Jamesson has continued "The Story of Us". Ayden & Beth's timeless love is tested again by Ayden's newly integrated family who complicates things immensely with some surprises for our couple! There is also a dire threat from the past that will be a driving force in the next installment! I must say-have tissues on hand! I devoured this book and can't wait to continue "Into The Blue" Sydney Jamesson has written another must read, 5 star, epic book that I can't recommend enough! Cheers Sydney!

    Provided an advanced copy for an honest opinion....

    Love this new chapter of Beth and Ayden!!!! At first it took a little bit of adjusting to the style of writing but by the end of this section it was all very clear what the author was doing and creating by leaving some of the thoughts and conversations open. I did notice some mention of time frame and that seems a little off but overall that did not take away from the new challenges that this couple will be facing for this series. I am excited to for the chance to read more. Only word of warning is that if you haven't read the first three books then this series will probably be a bit confusing since it references a lot of characters and storyline from the first set. This book is almost like book four instead of book one of a new series.

    This is the time I wish the second and third books were already finished! I hate to wait for more...I'll continue to sob and worry the same as Beth until the second one comes out. These books, including "touchStone" x 3 are so beautifully written with a storyline that has a beginning, a middle (with more surprises...than stars up above), and we hope this adult story NEVER ENDS! Beth and Ayden are electric! S. Jamesson knows how to use the right words to paint a vivid picture and draw you in, nore put the book down. Looking for a book that will capture you and plunge you into a golden fairy-tale with wonderful adult interactions? you found it!

    I started reading Sydney's work last year and poor, poor Sydney had to listen to me while I read. Once again she capture everyone emotion possible in me. There were life support moments when my heart broke. Cold showers were needed... it is Ayden Stone you wouldn't expect anything less. High fives and fist pumps in scenes. Happy tears and laughter. Theses characters have captured my heart as I have followed their journey. This story is so beautifully written the detail of their love is incredible. I'm already starting my countdown for the next book. I'm the most impatient reader so poor Sydney will have to put up with me until I have more.

    I needed wine to get me through this book. Once again I couldn't put this book down. The love Beth and Ayden have for each is magical. I'm guessing the Angel or whatever he was from the last book had something to do with Beth's pregnancy? So many turns and what is up with Ayden's family? His sister is a bitch. I loved the scene when Beth slapped her, haha. Thank you for the cliff hanger Sydney. Can't wait to read what happens next.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What an Epic Fairytale xx

    Where do I start........love this series, love this story.
    Like most other people I read reviews of this book and the other Touchstones and honestly, there were some bad ones but THANK GOD I put my trust in the author and not other readers opinions. This is definitely a modern day fairytale.
    Sydney Jamesson took me through a magical love story, with twists, turns and even some tears. This is defiantly not a rose's and cupcakes story, the series has some pretty effed up people in it but with patience, it all makes sense and makes for an amazing read.
    One great word of advice I got with this story was "Put your trust in Beth" and i loved watching her transformation. Beth is strong and resilient while still having a strong sense of heaven and earth - but this chic has a backbone (she ain't no Anastasia!)
    Ohhhhh and Ayden, I want one of him in every flavour please. I'm a sucker for a billionaire but this man has balls! Regardless of who he may be on the inside he always has Beth's back, and front....and side etc..... This is just an epic tale that could go on and on
    I can't wait to read the next one.......This series has been Am-azing and you will just fall in love with the characters. Thanks Sydney xx

    If you have read these 3 books (touchstone for play #2, touchstone for giving #2, touchstone forever #3 then your love this book, I've you haven't you should. Your missing out big time lol, no really I highly recommend you do read them first.
    OMG I LOVED this book, I couldn't put it down, there is so much I want to tell you about this book but don't want to spoil it for you.
    I LOVE Ayden and Beth, they truly love each other and would move heaven and earth to protect each other.

    Sydney Jamesson is a fantastic writer, she captures you from the first page and you just can't stop reading, the world around no longer exists :)

    What this Author is able to produce will never cease to amaze me. Sydney Jamesson is able to pull at those heart strings and then some.

    I read the Touchstone Series (The Story Of Us) and I became totally absorbed from the first chapter and guess what... It happened again with Blue Genes. The love that Ayden and Beth have gives you that gooey feeling inside, a love so strong that no matter what is thrown in their way... They will conquer it and become stronger.

    But saying that, will they overcome this hurdle and get their happy ever after, after all???

    I can't wait for Blue Hearts to be released to find out.

    After the final touchstone book I felt like I had a book hangover I wanted more and by pure Chance came across a tweet from the author about this book I downloaded immediately and could not put it down I love ayden and Beth's story. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I laughed and cried with the characters. A proper love between the two main characters and a great story the only downside is I have to wait until November for the next instalment
