Meet the man behind the Jutak warrior.

Rydak knew he’d never have a Chosen. His empathic touch blessed and cursed him with the ability to read and sense the emotions of everyone he came in contact with. Until her. Lissi Alonson, sister to the Unit Leader of the Jutak warriors he respected and a woman he’d be a fool to fall for.

For years, Lissi had a crush on the elite soldier in her brother’s Unit but the proud Jutak ignored her every attempt to get his attention. Then one night changes everything and he’ll defy his personal rules to spend his life with her by his side.

How far will Rydak fall?

I Love The “A World Beyond” Series

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017

Michelle Howard is one of the many fabulous new authors I’ve discovered through “Bookbub” offerings at free or reduced prices. This particular series happens to be one of my favorites.

Although Ms. Howard could still use a good editor, the strength of her writing outweighs the grammatical errors in the book. And she still needs to look up the difference between the words “past” and “passed”. I’ve pointed this out before in my reviews of some of her other books in this series, so perhaps she isn’t reading every review of her books anymore.

This particular book tells the love story between Lissi Alonson, the sister of the Jutak warrior Unit Leader, Torkel Alonson, and Rydak Jaard, the arrestingly handsome Jutak warrior in one of teams supervised by Torkel. It also has a suspenseful climax where Lissi’s life is in danger.

Lissi has had a serious crush on Rydak for years, but he has always more or less ignored her. In an attempt to get closer to him, she suggests that they just be friends. Rydak has admired Lissi from afar as well, but he has a problem that she knows nothing about. He is an empath and if someone touches him, he can read the emotions and sometimes the thoughts of that person. But the absolute worst part is that it causes him intense pain that he tries to deal with once he’s alone. As a result, he was reluctant to establish a relationship with anyone, especially Lissi . But he thought he could handle being just friends with her.

How these two potential lovers manage to work things out and the suspenseful climax make this a book certain to appeal to all romance readers, not just sci-fi romance readers. Well done, Ms. Howard!

It took a while to get into. Slow pacing at the beginning. I was a little lost but constant mentions of Torkel and others familiar thru the series left me wondering the timeline of the book. About half way thru it picked up but also all clicked. This is the prequel to the series and sets up the intros to many of the warriors we see in earlier books. Loved the interaction between some, loved the character of Juhal wished he could have stayed around. it might have been better served by letting us know beforehand but it worked because we like the series.

It took a while, in fact a third of the way into the book before I could get immersed. This is only because it has been a while since the last story and there was no re-introduction of the story and plot so far.

I finally recalled the story around 48% of the way through. And when I did I was soo happy to be back in the world of the Jutak warriors and their really interesting abilities or gifts. I truly think it is a great series. This story was quite different in that it was sweet. Normally I require a lot of action, humour and romance to fully enjoy a story. While this was less action packed, it still had enough to pick u the pace of the story and give it some excitement. It had enough of the other two to round out the story.
Overall, an enjoyable read. I can't wait for the next one.

another great one from Michelle Howard

I loved that Michelle went back to Rydak & Lissi. I think this was a first for me, reading about 2 aliens instead of an alien and someone from Earth. I really enjoyed it. I'm hoping to see one for everyone in the teams. Really love this series.
I love to reread some of my books, and this falls into that category. The first few times I ready, my feelings were kind of meh, it's okay. I finished it again last night. I really love the Lissi knew what she wanted and never gave up. I kept waiting for Rydak to put two and two together (yes I know I've read it before, but it's like new every time). It was such a sad life for him, and I was so happy to see the outcome for them.

Finally, Rydak and Lissi. They are such a great match! I love this series, (but the first book was hard to read) the Jutak teams are fascinating. The different types of males are so entertaining to read about. Rydak's interactions with them range from humorous to sad in that he had to keep his distance or pay the price in pain. But Lissi was determined to not give up. Rydak didn't have a chance and wasn't even aware. This story really rips out the emotions. You already know that they get together from the other books in the series, but it is great to be in on the journey. I happily recommend this book and series. Enjoy! 💜💙💛💚

Not as good as past books

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2017

This is the story of Lissi (Torkel's sister) and Rydak. I did not realize this story was before the "World Beyond" series. All the other previous Jutak warriors have not found their Chosen yet. In the beginning of the book, Lissi gets attacked and it's never mentioned again, she has no lasting effects of the almost gang rape. She chases behind Rydak throughout the book and at some points it's almost embarrassing. Rydak tells her he can't be with her and then in the next breath he is kissing her, this goes on back and forth. I don't like the mixed signals he gives her. I feel this is too much of a story about Team 3's missions instead of a growing relationship between the main characters. Their relationship is just in the background to all the other things going on. I also don't like that one of the main Jutak leaders died in this story. I just don't feel that was necessary to the book.

Science Fiction Romance

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017

I didn't think that I needed Rydak and Lissi's story until I read it. The beginning was a bit shaky when it mentions that Lissi is 23 but acted like a young teen. It self corrected as Lissi firmly decided what she wanted in life. Rydak deserves the happiness he has found with Lissi and his children. This was a sweet romance.

I am waiting for other series books to be written but I would be lying if I said that Theron and Talon don't interest me.

Lovely, much needed addition to the series!

Reviewed in Canada on December 29, 2017

I loved this book. I don't normally like to read prequels so I'm really glad I didn't know that before buying this book. Loved the chemistry between Rydak and Lissi and the hardships they had to go through just put me through the emotional wringer but it just made reading the story that much better. I didn't know how much I was missing in the storyline until I read this book and how much richer my view is of this world now. Now I'm going to really enjoy re-reading the first four books knowing Lissi and Rydak's story! Keep them coming Michelle - can't wait for the next one ☺

The story of how Lissi Alonson and Rydak Jaards first met, prior to their introduction as a family group in book 1, Torquel's Choice.

As a member of one of the three teams under the control of Torquel Alonson, Rydak was known to the Alonson family. Lissi was looked on as a little sister to them all. Working as an Inspector for the tourism department of the government. After a dangerous man, captured by the Jutak warrior teams, escapes from custody, holds staff and visitors to a new luxury spa hostage, aiming to destroy the Jutaks. Lives are at risk, but all ends well. Fighting their feelings for each other, Lissi and Rydak come to an understanding, enabling Lissi to claim Rydak as her Chosen. A gripping story, that I had to finish in one go. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Seriously Marvellous Series

Being a Kindle Unlimited member I rarely purchase books but couldn't stop myself with this series. I was captured by the first book and couldn't stop from then. I have just finished book 5 Rydak's Fall and it is 4:26am and I am emotional . Such good smooth writing and story telling. I find it amazing that Michelle has this incredible ability to imagine these books and then bring them to life in the written word. Each book in this series has its own different storyline, you think you have nearly reached the end but find you are pleasantly being led into another outcome. Well worth paying for thank you Michelle and I look forward to the next book.

Rydak' Story

Reviewed in Australia on November 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

I loved when Rydak was introduced into the other characters stories in the world beyond series. I thought he'd definately have an interesting story to read. And this story follows how he and Lissi connect.
I knew he was a powerful empath but didn't realise how powerful. But to read his about his world and what his powers did, it was awesome.
What I also liked was how Lissi was portrayed. Beautiful and strong in her truth - with her eyes only for Rydak.
Together both Lissi and Rydak's story was a joy to read. It makes me want to go back and reread my other World beyond books. Can't wait to read about Jaron's story.
