BEYOND WHAT IS GIVEN
Flight & Glory #3
Rebecca Yarros
Releasing Sept 28th, 2015
Entangled Embrace
Lt. Grayson Masters is focused on graduating the Apache helicopter course, and the last thing he needs is his gorgeous new roommate Samantha Fitzgerald distracting him. While her smart mouth and free spirit are irresistibly irritating, he can’t deny their off-the-charts chemistry, no matter how hard he tries.
Having just been expelled from college, Sam has no business digging for Grayson’s secrets while she’s hiding her own, but that doesn’t stop her from trying to tear down his walls. Each barrier she busts through drops one of her own, though, and she’s not prepared for the truth: another woman laid claim to Grayson’s heart long ago.
Falling in love is something neither Grayson nor Sam can afford, and when that line is crossed and secrets are exposed, they’ll learn that sometimes it’s the answered prayers that will put you through hell.

Yarros gives a heart wrenching tale in Beyond What is Given that brings
out all the feelings. It tells about Sam, Ember’s old friend and Grayson, the
soldier in flight school with Josh and Jagger. It is the third book in the
Flight and Glory series and can be read as a standalone but read the rest of
the series because it’s amazing. Grayson is the consummate soldier, and he puts
his duty to others above himself. This is especially apparent when the secret
he’s been hiding comes to light. It will break your heart, and having you
wishing you had someone half as loyal as he is. Sam has been through a rough
couple of years, and she is desperately trying to create a way for herself in
the new city.
Grayson
and Sam hit it off and sparks fly. This was a case of opposites attract, but
Yarros gives it credibility and I ate it up like a sappy spoon. It was great to
see the gang, and the growth in these two characters were stunning. It was
great until about the 60% part and then it fell apart faster than an ice cream
cake on a warm day. I felt like the strength we saw in these two dissolved
quickly, and there was so much back and forth it made my head spin. And please
don’t get me started on his family, who was like a batch of crazy dipped in
chocolate. I am going with the four star because I did like the book, but I
felt like there was too much petty drama to bump it to the five star. This was
a solid addition to the series, and I can’t wait for the next one.
I shrieked as the mixer whirred a shrill pitch
and batter exploded, hitting the walls, the
cabinets, my face...everything. I sputtered as some landed in my mouth, and
slammed my hand against the lever to turn it off.
This was going to be a bitch to clean up.
“Are you okay?” Grayson ran in, hair damp from the
shower. His eyes widened as he took in the state of his precious kitchen. “You
weren’t kidding about the mess.”
“Oh this?” I smiled. “It’s a new aeration
technique. I totally meant to do this.” My awesome excuse died as a glob of
brownie mix fell off the tip of my nose.
“Is that so?” he asked, walking over to me slowly,
consuming my vision. My breath hitched as he swiped his finger across my cheek,
and then licked the brownie mix off the digit. Holy hot. “Hmm... I think
there’s something to be said for this method. Maybe a little more air in the
batter?”
My mouth popped open. “Are you making fun of me?”
He smirked, which must have had a direct link to my
panties, because they unanimously voted to drop. Now. There was sexy, and there
was Grayson’s tongue sweeping across his lower lip, which was a step beyond
hedonistic. His eyes took on a mischievous glint but kept the same signature
intensity that held me captive, unable to look anywhere else as he lowered his
face toward mine. What...what was he
doing?
Do you even care? Nope. Not one bit.
“Maybe another taste to be sure?” he asked, his
voice low as his lips skimmed across my jawline. “Mmm. Definitely more.”
Shivers coursed down my body. Holy shit. His mouth was actually on me,
and I was awake.
He flipped the switch on the mixer and chocolate
flew.
“You did not!” I let my knees buckle so I slipped
to the floor, leaving Grayson to be splattered by the flying confection.
“I most certainly did!” He lifted me up like I
weighed nothing, and batter smacked the back of my tank top. “Man, you’re
slippery.” He mock-dropped me.
I yelped, locking my ankles around his waist and my
hands around his neck. He turned off the mixer and chuckled low in his throat.
“You can laugh?” I asked, yanking my head back to look at him.
“I have been known to on occasion,” he answered,
that stupid, crazy-sexy smirk in play despite the chocolate on his cheeks and
forehead. How the hell could someone look so hot while literally dripping
brownie batter?
“I like it,” I admitted.
His smirk disappeared, and his grip tightened on my
bare thighs as his gaze dropped to my lips. They parted as if he’d freaking
asked them to. We weren’t just stepping out of the friend-zone here, we were on
a damn missile into let- me-jump-you-ville.
“I do, too,” he whispered.
