Toni Denise gives us a great novel in Out of Time. This book is the fourth in its series and while I have not read the previous three this one was easy to follow, the characters where wonderful, and the plot was so thrilling that I couldn’t put it down. Her story is filled with suspense, drama, love, and so much more that I devoured the book in one sitting. Ms. Denise gives us such great characters in Jessica, Will and her other characters that I plan on going back and reading the first three. Personally I hope that Ms. Denise isn’t done with this series as I can’t wait to see what she does with these characters next.

Out of Time is book four in it’s series and a first time read for me from this author! Although fourth in its series, it can be read as a standalone. Very much enjoyed it so! I most certainly will be going back to read the first book in the series and going from there! Just such a wonderful story from the start to finish! A page turner for me for sure! The characters are engaging and well developed with loads of chemistry between them. Couldn’t put book down until finished. I highly recommend this book.

The cover intrigued me from the start and made me wonder what secrets were held behind the stare. I felt like I’d find an intriguing story just from first glance. And it sucked me right in. I really appreciated the flow of the story and the way the author drew me in. I was kept guessing and really connected with the main characters. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to going back and reading more of the series.

I have not read previous books in the series, but I had no problems getting into this one or feeling like I interrupted a series. You get a little romance and a little suspense with this novel. The author did a great job getting your attention right off the bat. I really like how fleshed out the characters are. I also appreciated that there is a sister in rehab. Bringing in that very painful element makes the realness move up a notch for me. Life isn’t always pretty, and it can be hard to let someone in when you have something like that going on. Great read!

This was a great read! A romance story with a hint of mystery. It is the final installment in this series, but can be read as a stand alone. Book 4 is about Jessica she owns a bed and breakfast and Will whi has not had it easy he took guardianship of his sisters kids while she went to rehab but it has turned out for a lot longer than he originally thought. Circumstances surrounding Will and the kids living arrangements meant that the only place left to stay was the bed and breakfast, he does not have time for a love life but once meeting Jessica there is noway of staying away from her and their chemistry.

I honestly loved this book. it is a 4th in a series, and I had not previously read the others in the series, but still was super easy to follow. Needless to say the book just sucked me right in from the beginning and made me curious quite much, to how the story and events to follow would play out. What can I say, Ima girl whom loves romantic tales with a double dash of suspense mixed into the pot!
The story has the location of the character and a love interest, named Jessica. Sweet lady and owns a bed and breakfast! She reminded me of myself a bit. She had a tough boundary when it came to her heart, but yet even I knew from reading it was only a matter of time before those walls broke on down.
Bring forth Will. He is a awesome uncle who is watching over his sisters kids. She had some hard times and he stepped in to care for the two children. This made him very commendable in my opinion. He adored those kids and quite frankly, they meant the world to him. Was there more room in his world though to let someone else in?
Lives collide and Will ad the children are staying at Jessica’s bed and breakfast. Instant chemistry and they both had walls up I found (Will and Jessica) But, eventually, like anything that can stand it has the possibility to fall. And to me this was a passion ignited and a need like no other. But was this paradise meant to last?
Things start to happen that make things known that all is not all perfectly ok. Events that happened at the beginning that lead Will and the kids to Jessica’s bed and breakfast collide and all makes sense. And realization comes even if the place your at is truly happy, are you safe from the danger that lurks outside the walls itself?
As more of the story presented itself, more suspense and gripping moments occurred for me and I wanted to go deeper and know what would happen next. Loved it truly. It was very well put together and I enjoyed it form start to finish. I wish I could have spent more time with the characters and see where their paths take them next. It was really good, but still saying just that is an understatement.
I am so glad I got to discover this author, and this new series I can go back to and also fall in love with the other books in the series. It is a series not to be missed, and most certainly a author not to miss out on. I really enjoyed this book and the story line for Jessica and Will. The author surely does not disappoint!

Book Review: Out of Time; Westbeach Series: Book 4 Author: Toni Denise Four Stars Picked this book up on Kindle Unlimited and didn’t realize it was part of a series. There are a few parts that I was a little lost on, like why was there an issue between Alex and Will. Why are people calling Will to collect on his sister’s debts. There are a few unanswered questions. However, I am enjoying the chemistry between Jessica and Will. They are trying to fight their feelings for each other yet seem to be losing the battle. Jessica is really awesome with Will’s neice and nephew and includes them in everything. Love this story and I am truly going to have to go back and read the other books in the series to tie up the loose ends I have. KLH

You know you have a good book when you can picture yourself in the story. That is what this book did for me and finding out it was the fourth in the series was surprising. I did not read the first three but still was able to follow along. The characters of Will and Jessica are so relatable and the highs and lows of deciding on a relationship or protecting the heart are I’m sure decisions we’ve all made at one time or another. There was just enough romance coupled with the suspense that kept me turning the pages through to the end. Always wanting to find out what happened next. Will and Jessica are amid finally following their hearts when trouble comes calling. In the form of letters and pictures demanding money or there would be consequences. At first the letters are ignored as maybe it is just someone intimidating them but as the terrorizing escalates Will must seek refuge with the very person he’s trying to protect. Can Will protect Jessica from some unsavory characters? Will Jessica get the bed and breakfast finished in her own design or will her wandering travel thoughts carry her elsewhere? Can they move on from past hurt or will it tear Will and Jessica apart? You’ll have to read this book to find out what happens next. As for me I am going to read the other novels to see what happened to the other characters that appear in this story.

Holy Toledo! Intense story! Identified with taking the kids as I’m raising grandchildren because my daughter isn’t capable. Jessica seems almost like a saint. She volunteers to help with baking and ends up in a drug incident. It’s a good thing she and Will are friends. This whole incident is scary. I love how strong Jessica is to stand up to Will’s Mom to tell her off for speaking ill of her in her own house. You go girl! I felt like I was participating in the story. This makes for the best type of story – being part of it.

Out of Time is the fourth book in the Westbeach Series by Toni Denise. Toni is a new author to me, and I only realised it was the fourth book in the series after I had finished it because I don’t read the covers or blurbs. However, from what I can gather the other books all have different stories even though the characters intertwine some, and I did not feel like I was missing out. Out of Time is full of mystery, suspense and romance and twist and turns to keep you intrigued and you will definitely enjoy it. I will be going back to the start of the series to see what I missed.

I enjoyed this book. This is a great romance-suspenseful story. This is a well written story that has characters that not only bring the story to life but also kept it engaging to the end. I found this book to be faster paced and has just enough of the romance and suspense to keep you turning pages. The characters pulled me in from the beginning and just made the story for me. They are connectable and made the story easy to read. This is a story about Jessica and Will. Jessica has just opened a bed and breakfast and Will has found himself taking care of his sister’s children. He was only suppose to take care of them short term but now it has become long term. He finds himself trying to keep them safe as well as meeting a hot woman who he is trying to keep his heart safe from. There are twists and turns that kept me wondering what would happen next. I really enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. Great growth and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

Out of Time is the fourth book in the Westbeach series by Toni Denise. This is the first book that I have read by Toni Denise, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story. I also didn’t realise going in that this is the 4th book in a series- I was too fixated on the cover and blurb to realise that. Having read the story now, I can say that although it could be read as a standalone, there are definitely times I felt like I was missing something, references were made to things that happened previously, that I am not aware of or don’t have all the details to(?). So, I will definitely be going back to read the other three books to see if having that information on board will enhance my reading experience of this book. Having said that, this was definitely an intriguing romantic suspense that unravelled in a way that kept me thinking, trying to piece everything together before any ‘big reveal’. The author created palpable tension and suspense through her story- which was well done. But I really think I would have enjoyed the book more if I had read the previous books. So, stay tuned, I will revisit this review once I have read the other books to see if they help piece everything together more.

Out Of Time by Toni Denise is the fourth book in the Westbeach series. This book can be read as a stand-alone even though it is the final book of the series. This is a completely new author to me so I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading. What I found was a great story that was fairly easy to ready with some great characters. The story was well ell thought out and the overall book had a great pace to it. The story just seemed to flow. I really enjoyed the connection between the two main characters. It was instant and lovely to see play out throughout the book. I thought this book was a good one to introduce me to the author. I think it have an all round view as to the writing style. After this book I know I will be checking out more.

A gripping novel of romantic suspense which had me gripped from page one. Lifelong tourist and adventure seeker Jessica was born with the travel bug but after years on the move she decides to open a bed and breakfast. However when Will, who has taken on his sisters children whilst she’s in rehab turns up at her B&B things take a dangerous turn for them both. Will decides to move himself and the children to a B&B for their safety when he starts to receive increasingly threatening letters demanding money. Will was definitely not thinking about falling in love when he sought refuge at a B&B but once he meets Jessica he thinks she could steal his heart. I loved the main characters and thought that both Jessica and Will were likeable and relatable characters which helped me feel engaged with them. The storyline flowed well and the plot twists kept me hooked and I found this to be a page turner of a novel. Both the set and the characters were bought to life by the authors descriptive narrative. I liked how the relationship developed between Jessica and Will despite the dangers they faced and their chemistry definitely came across in the writing. I read this as a standalone story but it is book four in the ‘Westbeach Series’, which I am now keen to read.

Jessica was born with the travel bug. A lifelong tourist and adventure seeker, she’s unwilling to give up what she loves for anyone. But when she decides to open a bed and breakfast, her life of adventure takes a dangerous turn. Will followed his heart and jumped in to care for his sister’s children while she was in rehab, but it was only supposed to be temporary. Now weeks have turned into months and there’s no end in sight. When he receives mysterious letters demanding money, he initially ignores them, but when things escalate, he has no choice but to act. His plan to keep the kids safe goes awry when his sister’s home is set on fire. Desperate to keep them safe, he seeks refuge in a new bed and breakfast. But what he finds there introduces a different kind of danger—a drop-dead gorgeous woman who just might steal his heart if he’s not careful. The exciting conclusion to the Westbeach Series!
I am an author, an engineer, a wife, and a mother to four kids!
We live in Virginia with our three dogs where we work and stay busy with kid’s activities. I enjoy writing and am also an avid reader of both contemporary and historical romance.
Writing is my passion, something that I love to do and always have. My journey to author wasn’t straightforward but I am so glad I made it here and I get to share with everyone the stories that I love.
