Out of Time
by Beth Flynn
 
Out of Time is the followup book to Nine Minutes.  Nine Minutes was one of my favorite reads of 2014, and I have been anxiously awaiting this one.  Even the Synopsis is crazy
 
Synopsis:
They thought with his execution it would all be over.
They were wrong.

The leader of one of South Florida’s most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has been put to death by lethal injection. Days later, his family and friends should have been picking up the pieces, moving on. Instead, they’ve been catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top.

In this gripping follow-up novel to Nine Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950s Central Florida to the vivid tropical heat of Fort Lauderdale to the halls of Florida’s Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason “Grizz” Talbot and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal.

Not even Grizz’s inner circle knows his full story—the tragedy that enveloped his early life, the surprise discovery that made him the government’s most wanted and most feared, and the depths of his love for Ginny, the tenderhearted innocent he’d once abducted and later made his wife.

Once Grizz’s obsession and now the mother of his child, Ginny has spent years grieving the man she’d first resisted and then came to love. Now remarried to Tommy, a former member of the gang, the pair a spent more than a decade trying desperately to live a normal existence far from the violent, crime-ridden world they’d once carved out on the edge of the Florida Everglades. For Tommy, especially, the stakes are high. Desperately in love with Ginny for years, he’s finally living his dream: married to the woman he never thought he could have. But even with the façade of normalcy—thriving careers, two beautiful children, and a genuinely happy and loving marriage—they can’t seem to put the past behind them. Every time they turn around, another secret is revealed, unraveling the very bonds that hold them together.

And with Grizz finally put to death, now Ginny has learned secrets so dark, so evil she’s not even sure she can go on.

Will these secrets tear their love to pieces? And how far will Grizz go to protect what he still considers his, even from beyond the grave?
 
Out of Time is book 2 in the series and is definitely not a stand alone.  It does answer a lot of questions, but it also creates more!  There will be a book 3, so things are not tied up at the end of this book.  
We get a ton of insight into all the characters in this book, especially the younger years of Grizz and Grunt.  I loved that this book jumped between POV's.  We got a lot of Grunt's POV from Nine Minutes, which gave me a lot of insight into his feelings for Ginny.  It also jumps time frames as well, the book spans a good 50 years.  So much happens in this book!!

This one blew me away, just like Nine Minutes did.  So much happens and I wasn't sure who was good and who was bad, and what was going to happen next.  The end in INSANE!!  It is definitely a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait for the next one.  If you read Nine Minutes, you absolutely must read this one.

Twenty One (Book 2 in Love by Numbers)
By ES Carter

I have anxiously been awaiting this book since I read Nineteen (Book 1)

Synopsis:

Fate kept placing Emma Campbell and Jake Fox in each others paths.
Fate also kept putting overwhelming obstacles in their way.
What fate didn’t realize is that Jake and Emma share a connection that is stronger than circumstance.
An intense bond that threatens everything they thought they knew about themselves, one that is only made stronger by a perfect day.

A perfect day where they both surrendered to the force of their feelings for one another.
A perfect day that ended in darkness and tragedy.

Jake is missing.
Emma is lost.
Lost in grief; lost in hopelessness.

Will fate finally grant them a chance to be together or will it tear them apart?

This is the second part in the “Love by Numbers” series and is a continuation of the story that began in “Nineteen”.
It is not to be read as a standalone.
*Suitable for readers 18+ due to scenes of a sexual nature.

I fell in love with these characters in Nineteen, but the end almost killed me.  It was a crazy cliffy, so I couldn't wait to get into this one.  Thankfully the author didn't make us to wait too long to find out Jake's fate.  We still get a little of the cocky bad boy we got in Nineteen, but he his near death experience seems to leave him clearer.  He's done waiting and he is loving and sweet in this book as well.  Emma seems to have realized who she is and what she wants and she is much stronger in this book.  I loved her in Nineteen, but I admired her in this book.  
The supporting characters made this book what it is.  I loved Nate and Live, they were amazing friends.   And I can't wait to get more of Liam and H in the future.  
Both of these books are 5 star reads and are available now!!!  Nineteen is currently on sale for $.99, so no excuses!

Out of Time Blurb and Cover Reveal
 
I cannot remember being this excited for an upcoming book.  Nine Minutes was amazing and the end blew me away.  I can't wait to read the rest of the story.  And if possible, the blurb has me even more excited!!
 
Blurb
RECOMMENDED FOR READERS 18 AND OLDER DUE TO
STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS AND VIOLENCE

Out of Time is book two in a series. It is not a standalone novel. I highly recommend that you read my first novel, Nine Minutes, to be able to understand the background stories of the main characters. There are many twists and turns in both stories that can best be connected if read consecutively.
 Although I do answer all of the outstanding questions from Nine Minutes, there is more to this story, and some readers may consider it a cliffhanger. If you do not like cliffhangers, you may want to wait until the third novel is released in 2016.

They thought with his execution it would all be over.

The leader of one of South Florida’s most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has been put to death by lethal injection.

Instead, they’ve been catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top.

In this gripping follow-up novel to Nine Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950s Central Florida to the vivid tropical heat of Fort Lauderdale to the halls of Florida’s Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason “Grizz” Talbot and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal.
