Synopsis

Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe's life. She has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three random meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third meeting, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness must admit that perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge. A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly—an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department's brand-new cold case team working down the hall from Mei's morgue.

More golden retriever than hard-boiled detective, Morgan is determined to pull the asocial widow out of her shell. As the icy scientist warms to her cheerful new friend, an irrepressible chemistry develops, and Mei begins to realize she's perhaps a different number on the Kinsey scale than previously considered.

As Mei and Morgan struggle with guilt and grief, drama and desires, Mei finds her scientific austerity is no match for the universe and its nudges toward the startling revelation of what her heart really wants.

Contains mature themes.

Letting go. This is a good romance debut that had me more emotionally invested in the characters than I anticipated and I don't think I'd be forgetting it for a while. I cried. But I would like to clarify that the angst came only towards the end, and the bulk of the book was pleasant. One of the char......more

Beyond the Blue on the surface is an age gap, Ice Queen romance. The Ice Queen is Dr. Mei Sharpe, the county medical examiner who lost her husband of thirty years only two years ago. Lieutenant Morgan Kelly is a detective who recently transferred to the county to start up a cold case division. Morga......more

All of the stars! “Beyond the Blue” by T.J. O’Shea was a lovely age-gap, toaster-oven romance that I enjoyed tremendously! I was really impressed that this was a debut novel, I don’t know if O’Shea has written other things but she definitely has talent when it comes to romance. The characters were in......more

I'm going to be watching out for future books by this author. Ice Queen, doctor sharp and lieutenant kelly are the 2 main characters in this storyline. It's a story about finding love and excepting yourself. It's another age gap (love them) storyline. Both characters are interesting and captivating.......more
