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.
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.

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.

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 have 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?

Review
Holy fuck y'all. Holy fuck.
It's almost seven in the morning, I haven't slept. Instead I've been up finishing this book. I wanted to scream. Fucking scream when I finished this book.
After Nine Minutes it wasn't surprising that Beth lead us on a wild goose chase in this book, as we tried to find the truth. It says in the blurb that shit happens in this book.
But what it doesn't tell you is how to handle it. This is the second book in two days that has fucked with me.
I'm confused as hell, but also intrigued as hell. Beth has managed to take a story that I love and amplify it. I am in love with these characters. I am love with the world that Beth has created.
There are so many twists and turns. You don't see any of them coming. I can't tell you how amazing this book is, I can't tell you how many emotions this book put me through.
I was sad, I was heart broken, I was angry, I laughed at a few parts. I also cried, more so that it was over. There is more coming but I don't know how long I can survive while we wait.
Because the whole time I'm going to be thinking about what is going to happen next, then Beth is going to throw us another fucking curve ball and it's going to be crazy.
We took sweet innocent Ginny and threw her into the fire that was a motorcycle gang.
And then we turned her life upside down again.
I love Ginny, she is one of my favorite heroines. I hate what she goes through, I felt for her. But I feel like she is strong enough to handle whatever Beth trows at her.
I love Grizz, maybe I shouldn't. He was the bad guy in the first book, and then we learn more about him in this one. We see just how fucked up he is, and you can't hate him. You can hate his actions and his choices. But you cannot hate the man who loved the girl.
Grunt is a good man. And I feel that he is good for Ginny, he is good in her life. I see that he really cares, and I know when you read this book you will as well.
I can only say that you have to read this book. You won't believe what happens unless you read it. I still don't know how to process everything.
I think that this book is so mind fucking because we as readers want it to be. We want there to be huge reveals and shocking information. And that is not what this book is about.
Beth doesn't do the dramatic cliche. She takes us through it slowly, giving us the information piece by piece, and when it comes time for the actual truth we're blindsided.
At least that's how I feel. I feel that Beth has woven a story that I couldn't get out of even if I wanted to. And I sure as hell don't want to.
The power of the words isn't the words themselves, but the way that Beth wove them, She has a talent, an amazing talent that draws the reader in.
My heart is cracked, my soul is torn, My head is spinning.
This story is not over. In actuality, I believe that it is just beginning.
A beautiful book that is worth every single mind fuck.
*Quote- "She wouldn't let an unknown tomorrow interfere with today." -Ginny
"He would always be her protector." (This shit gives me chills)
"The world was rotten and so was everyone in it." -Grizz
That's all I'm allowed to give y'all since the rest is either full fucking paragraphs or too revealing. Buy the book and read it if you haven't. You might go crazy like me, but it is worth the read.

Excerpt
1979
“Yes! There is something I want for my birthday. Something I really want! I’ve been thinking about our prom date last year.”
“You want another romantic night at Martin’s beach house?” He grinned, relieved. A night making love with Kit at the beach house. Ohhhhh yeahhhh.
“No. Not the beach house.” She was bouncing in her seat now. “I want you to take me out! Dancing. I want to go to a club and go dancing.”
His smile faded and he looked a little deflated. He wasn’t going to tell her his name. He wasn’t going to go to church with her. How could he tell her no to the third thing she’d asked for?
“Shit, baby. You have to know I’m not a dancer. I barely got by with the slow dancing in Martin’s gazebo.”
“I want to go dancing, Grizz. Please! The only time I ever get to dance is when I convince Axel to dance with me in number four. And you know that’s barely ever. He won’t do it if there are a lot of people at the motel. He doesn’t want to risk being seen.”
Grizz had to smile at this. He’d walked in more than once on Axel and Kit dancing to one of those groups that Kit loved. If you asked him, those guys’ voices sounded like someone had their balls in a vice. A high-pitched squeal is all he ever heard and he never stayed around long enough to listen to an entire song.
“Why do you dance to a song about a bald-headed woman?” He’d asked her once.
Axel and Kit had stopped and peered at him strangely. “What do you mean by bald headed woman?” Kit had asked as Grizz turned the stereo down.
“These guys, who sound like women, are singing about a bald-headed woman,” Grizz replied.
She’d started laughing. “The Bee Gees are saying ‘more than a woman,’ Grizz. Not bald-headed woman! The song is called More Than a Woman and I happen to love it.”
“Whatever it’s called, it still sucks. I’m outta here.”
Grizz appreciated that Axel danced with his wife. And yes, he knew Axel’s other secret, too. He honestly didn’t care. He didn’t care what any guy decided to do with his dick as long as it was never near his wife. But he also knew he had to keep Axel’s secret. As leader, he had final say as to who could be in the gang. Still, he knew not everyone would be tolerant of Axel’s lifestyle. It was just easier to let it stay a secret. And besides, he was certain nobody suspected a thing.
“I don’t dance, Kit.” Grizz said now, shaking his head.
“But I want to go dancing for my birthday.” She folded her arms and gave him an accusing look. “You asked!”He shook his head slightly and looked at her. “Can’t I just buy you another car?”
“Yes! There is something I want for my birthday. Something I really want! I’ve been thinking about our prom date last year.”
