USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Take the plunge with Beth Parker and be ready to fall headfirst Into the Blue…
“I promise. Wherever you are, Beth, I will always be with you," ~ Ayden
Blue Genes is the continuation of the bestselling trilogy, The Story of Us.
Handsome, media magnate, Ayden Stone came into Beth Parker’s life like a bolt out of the blue, introducing her to an extravagant lifestyle filled with promises, new experiences and sensual pleasures. Possessed by love, they have fulfilled a childhood dream to be man and wife, believing nothing can come between them ‘until death do us part.’
Having been tortured by tragic events involving angels and demons from their past, these star-crossed lovers are ready to start a new chapter in their lives. Now, family comes first.
But which family?
Time is running out! Difficult decisions must be made that will stretch their fated bond to its very limit. Unforeseen enemies are conspiring and about to test the very foundation of their relationship--trust.
Blue Genes is an emotional, adult fairy-tale that transcends the ordinary: a sensual, suspense filled story overflowing with love, laughter and a longing for a happy ever after.
But sometimes, longing just isn’t enough…
86,000 words of soul-searching and sensuality.

Sydney Jamesson is a USA Today bestselling author by night and an English teacher by day. She is nocturnal by nature and loves nothing more than staying up late, listening to music and being inspired to write. She has always written creatively; in her home is one enormous wastepaper basket full of discarded phrases, opening lines and pieces of dialogue that have hit her like lightning in the middle of the night. Her USA Today bestselling trilogy, THE STORY OF US sold worldwide, and she has been thrilled to continue Ayden Stone's and Beth Parker's epic love story in The Story of Us Series: Into the Blue, featuring Blue Genes, Blue Hearts and Blue Moon.

More recently, Sydney has focused on psychological suspense. THE DARKEST CORNERS was her first venture into the new genre: a complex love story filled with lots of angst, emotional scenes and edge of your seat suspense as a single father and a troubled young woman confront their deepest, darkest fears together. The twists come thick and fast and the ending is unforgettable!

    I was so glad to see that there were more to be read of the modern day love story of Ayden and Beth Stone. With there lives back on track and planning for there future so starts another chapter in their lives. Ayden sets out to meet his birth mother after Beth uncovers who and where she is in TSFE. The family think Ayden can do so much better than Beth and there are an exchange of words between Ayden's twin sister Sofia and Beth which result in Beth giving her a very public slap!

    With new enemies surfacing and new twist and turns the plot starts to take on a new direction. His new French family are well connected in the banking world but are mixed up in money laundering and other illegal activities, his dad wants to go into business with Ayden. Insurgents from the middle East are closing in daily. Beth's guardian angel is still watching over her and helping her. Once again the book ends on a cliff hanger that will have you reaching for the next book instantly.

    This is a must read, if you loved the Story of Us Trilogy so far this trilogy will far exceed what you have read previously. Jamesson has upped the ante with the angst, the suspense and the shear brilliance of her story telling. You won't want to put it down!

    What this Author is able to produce will never cease to amaze me. Sydney Jamesson is able to pull at those heart strings and then some.

    I read the Touchstone Series (The Story Of Us) and I became totally absorbed from the first chapter and guess what... It happened again with Blue Genes. The love that Ayden and Beth have gives you that gooey feeling inside, a love so strong that no matter what is thrown in their way... They will conquer it and become stronger.

    But saying that, will they overcome this hurdle and get their happy ever after, after all???

    I can't wait for Blue Hearts to be released to find out.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A heartbreaking continuation of Ayden and Beth's story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2015
    When I've read The Story of Us Trilogy around a month ago (reviews of these books will be posted soon :) ) I quite enjoyed the story and the characters. So when I got the chance to read what happens with them after their HEA ending, I was all for it. Well, let me tell you, this book just proves that even when you get your happy ending, life still can serve you a curved ball that can destroy everything you love in the blink of an eye.

    Ayden and Beth show again their devotion and love for each other. I loved reading about the tender moments between them. The moments that show their feelings for each other. But everything they have together is tested once again. This time, in the form of unexpected enemy. An enemy that you shouldn't expect you have to fight. The danger is lurking around every corner and I have to say that I was glued to the pages until the last word. And the problem is that that only left me craving more. Especially, considering that the book ends with a cliffhanger. I just can't wait to find out what will happen next.

    In a few words, the story is captivating and intriguing. The characters are well developed and interesting, and very easy to connect to. Their story is so full with tenderness, romance, heartbreak and danger, that there is no way you won't root for them the whole time. The writing is superb and I have to say that I really love the quotes from the classics that Sydney Jamesson uses quite often. So if you haven't been introduced to her writing yet, I definitely advice you to check out The Story of Us Series. Ayden is definitely one man candy that you have to meet. You will simply fall in love with him :)

    After almost 12 months of not finishing books because they did not live up to TouchStone for ever, I was extremely fortunate enough to have the opportunity to read an ARC copy of Blue Genes...
    I have read it 3 times now, and like Sydney's previous books, you find something new each time. The emotions you feel for Ayden & Beth bring them into glorious technicolor on the page.. If it is possible, I love them even more!
    Thank you for restoring my faith in literary romance!

Sydney Jamesson knows exactly how to make us feel a part of her story & to love these characters as much as she does. Especially a personal favourite which is her vision for Ayden. I cannot wait for the next book. Waiting not so patiently (sorry Sydney) it's just THAT GOOD. Thank you is the least I can say xx

    For full review please visit @sortegon.blogspot.com

    As you might know, if you read my review on The Story Of Us Trilogy. I was a total mess and needed some time to align my emotions. I still wanted to know more about Ayden and Elizabeth. Luckily, Sydney Jamesson continues their story in Blue Genes and does not disappoint. The Love, Passion, Sexiness, and Suspense is magnified between the couple. I just love that the supporting characters are brought out a little more in this one. I always had my eye on Jake, Ayden's best friend he is a slimy one with the ladies but he has a softer side when it comes to Elizabeth and Ayden's relationship. I also enjoyed reading more about Lester, driver and security extraordinaire to the Stones. Sydney Jamesson introduces new characters in this book ( Ayden's birth family). Let's just say that there is one particular person that you will love to hate, she is just all sorts of wrong.

    Ayden and Beth's love and insecurities will be tested and I felt every emotion, that is perfectly written.

    I have this feeling that Sydney Jamesson sits behind her computer with this devious smile and thinks to herself, " So how can I leave this reader wanting more ?"

    I say that because she is so good at it and now I have to " patiently " wait for Blue Hearts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What an Epic Fairytale xx

    Where do I start........love this series, love this story.
    Like most other people I read reviews of this book and the other Touchstones and honestly, there were some bad ones but THANK GOD I put my trust in the author and not other readers opinions. This is definitely a modern day fairytale.
    Sydney Jamesson took me through a magical love story, with twists, turns and even some tears. This is defiantly not a rose's and cupcakes story, the series has some pretty effed up people in it but with patience, it all makes sense and makes for an amazing read.
    One great word of advice I got with this story was "Put your trust in Beth" and i loved watching her transformation. Beth is strong and resilient while still having a strong sense of heaven and earth - but this chic has a backbone (she ain't no Anastasia!)
    Ohhhhh and Ayden, I want one of him in every flavour please. I'm a sucker for a billionaire but this man has balls! Regardless of who he may be on the inside he always has Beth's back, and front....and side etc..... This is just an epic tale that could go on and on
    I can't wait to read the next one.......This series has been Am-azing and you will just fall in love with the characters. Thanks Sydney xx

    Yet another exceptional installment in the beautiful story that is Ayden Stone and Beth Parker. Sydney, you have done it yet again. YOU BLEW MY MIND! Blue Genes was as fabulous to read as I thought it would be. It was hot, romantic, had me blue in the face with Ayden's family and had me surprise and blushing. But beautiful as ever by the love story that is Ayden Stone and Beth Parker. Sydney, I expect nothing but the best from your books and the best is what I got. I absolutely love and adore Ayden Stone and Beth Parker and thank you Sydney for taking me on this wonderful journey again into the lives of these beautiful characters. November can't come soon enough. Can't wait for Blue Hearts! ! !

    Anyone who has read the epic romance of Ayden Stone & his beloved Beth in the TouchStone series will be as thrilled as I am that Sydney Jamesson has continued "The Story of Us". Ayden & Beth's timeless love is tested again by Ayden's newly integrated family who complicates things immensely with some surprises for our couple! There is also a dire threat from the past that will be a driving force in the next installment! I must say-have tissues on hand! I devoured this book and can't wait to continue "Into The Blue" Sydney Jamesson has written another must read, 5 star, epic book that I can't recommend enough! Cheers Sydney!
