    About this audiobook


    Live fast, die young-anything else is a fantasy for Six. She's endured the worst the sectors had to throw at her, but falling in with Dallas O'Kane's Sector Four gang lands her in a whole new world of danger. They're completely open about everything, including their sexuality, but she hasn't survived this long by making herself vulnerable. Especially not to men as dominant as Brendan Donnelly.

    Bren is a killer, trained in Eden and thrown to the sectors. His one outlet is pain, in the cage and in the bedroom, and emotion is a luxury he can't afford-until he meets Six. Protecting her soothes him, but it isn't enough. Her hunger for touch sparks a journey of erotic discovery where anything goes-voyeurism, flogging, rough sex. He has only one rule: he won't share her.

    In Bren's arms, Six is finally free to let go. But Bren's obsession with the man who made him a monster could destroy the fragile connection they've forged, and cost him the one thing that makes him feel human-her love.

      I don't know how they do it, but "Kit Rocha" (a pseudonym for a writing team) manage to take a repeating story pattern set among a particular tribe of people, and continue to produce fun, hot, new material. The title of each book in the series reflects the primary 'problem' of the story: in this case, the pain in Six's background and, to a lesser extent, Bren's masochism. As in the first two stories of the series, there is a lot of kinky sex, mostly in the area of power exchange, but also multiple partners, some bondage and flogging, and lots of exhibitionism. There is also same-sex intimacy (which I don't classify as "kinky.") But instead of being trashy, Rocha creates scenes of joyous intimacy, mutual respect, and pleasure, no matter how rough the surroundings. A woman of the O'Kane gang -- or any woman in their presence -- can wear or do whatever she wants sexually and the O'Kane men will never lay a hand on her without her explicit, enthusiastic consent. If any man treats a woman disrespectfully, he is shown the door -- sometimes after blows have been exchanged -- and the women are equally quick to stand up for each other and refuse to countenance ill treatment of another.

      In this book, Six faces the pain of her past abuse and comes a sense of powerful self-ownership. This happens not in spite of, but assisted by, her romantic involvement with a dominant man, one who believes her personal sovereignty is essential for her well-being as well as his own pleasure. And that her well-being is more important than anything else.

      There is humor and heartbreak, scenes of men bound by brotherhood, and women whose sisterhood is rock solid. We see previously-highlighted relationships continue to grow (Noelle & Jasper, Lexie and Dallas), and get a glimpse of those whose stories could be next. (I'm looking forward to seeing Jade again.) And meanwhile there is the ongoing meta-plot about the O'Kanes and their world, and their interactions with the powers of both Eden and the other sectors.

      Despite living in a technologically fallen world, the O'Kanes live in a utopia of mutual protection, caring, respect, and uninhibited sexuality.

      So great

      Kit Rocha is a genius, and each of these books shows it. Six and Bren are so perfect together that it's amazing.

      I love these books. "It's an O'Kane thing."

      These books are dystopian so I thought it was cool how there is a name drop of one of the most famous dystopian of all times.

      "Well, he'll hav eto wise up if he wants to make it in this brave new world."

      Another thing I love about this is the strong women.

      "Becoming an O'Kane isn't about being some guy's old lady. If that's all you want, you've got it already. But I thought you were after more. Something that's yours."

      The 2 main characters from this book were Bren and Six. Both had been put through so much pain in their lifetimes. No one could get through to either of them...until the other came into the picture and took them "Beyond Pain".

      Of course there is plenty of crazy wild sex.

      And there were hints about Ace/Cruz/Rachel thing which I'm really looking forward to.

      4.5 stars

      Sector Four is alive again. I love this series. The dystopian world of the different sectors is wonderful. When you live a life in this type of a world, you learn the things that are really important to you. In Sector Four, sex, drinking and violence are the main parts of life.

      In book three, Beyond Pain, we get Bren and Six's story. Bren is a former MP from the city who was banished and forced to take the blame for his CO. He has become a high ranking gang member for O'Kane. His MP skills have come in handy for Dallas on many occasions. Six was given over to the O'Kanes from a rival gang over in Sector Three. In the first book, Dallas finished off the leader of Sector Two. In book two, was charged by the other sector leaders to clean up Sector Three. Dallas teams Bren and Six up for this clean up. It is a good pair, because Bren seems to be the only one that Six will let anyone near her. Plus, with her background in the sector and his former job, they would work good together to start the ball rolling on the clean up.

      Six has some issues with sex and trust from her past. Watching Bren help her through those issues is great. Bren has issues of his own that Six helps him with as well, but they are not as obvious has her issues.

      This is probably the best erotic romance series that I've read and this book is no different. I love the world. The guys are super hot, dominate, caring and badass. The girls are super hot, dominate, caring and badass. There is great world building, characters, oh, and let's not forget the sex. They don't hold back in this series. The characters are all about having fun, in whatever fun that comes in as long as it's consensual.

      If you haven't read this series, I highly recommend it, but start with book one, Beyond Shame. There are just a lot of backstory that you'll miss if you start in the middle. The first two books are just as hot. You won't regret it.
