Author B.A. Chapman offers a vivid and imaginative universe filled with fantastic sci-fi elements and a strong romantic atmosphere, and the world-building pulls readers in with attention to detail and creative vision. The story perfectly balances heart-pounding action and tender moments with great pacing that keeps readers turning pages.
I was completely absorbed in Breanna's journey of self discovery, which unfolded naturally thanks to confident narration and strong dialogue that moved the plot forward well. The concept of the hero falling into a world from a favorite TV show is a unique element, and every moment is described well with a sense of nostalgia in Breanna that sci-fi fans will certainly relate to. The way Chapman develops the relationship between Breanna and Rylo against the backdrop of intergalactic conflict offers emotional weight to every decision they make. This gradually raises the stakes for a simmering relationship that readers will enjoy.
The complex characters feel real despite their extraordinary circumstances, making this sci-fi adventure feel grounded, no matter how otherworldly the action gets. Overall, Beyond Reality's Edge is a highly recommended read with an unforgettable adventure that will captivate both science fiction fans and romance readers alike.

Literary Titan
This book is a must-read for sci-fi enthusiasts and romance lovers alike. The plot flows seamlessly, keeping readers hooked from start to finish. The characters are likable and easy to connect with, making it a joy to journey through the story with them. One area that could have used more depth, however, is the relationship between Breanna and her love interest, Rylo Dax. Their connection develops at lightning speed, which feels rushed given the promise of an ongoing series. A bit more time spent building their bond would have enriched the romantic subplot.
That said, the pacing of the main story remains tight and well-executed. Every twist and turn kept me eagerly anticipating what would happen next. The premise feels refreshingly original, and Chapman’s writing delivers a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation. I’m excited to see where Breanna’s journey leads in future installments and can’t wait to dive back into this inventive universe.
Bethuel, Reader Review
The novel’s setting, particularly Lemuria, is more than just a backdrop. Chapman’s descriptions are immersive without being overwhelming, making the alien city feel as real as any earthbound metropolis. There’s a sense of history woven into the world building, whispers of forgotten civilizations and ancient tech that make you want to dig deeper.
This book is about more than just surviving in an unknown galaxy. It explores themes of destiny, the ripple effect of choices, and what it means to belong somewhere. Scifi often leans into its intellectual side, but this novel proves that emotion and character depth don’t have to take a backseat to the action.
If you love scifi that balances mystery, romance, and adventure, this is one to check out. It’s a page turner that keeps you guessing, but what really sticks with you is the emotional core, how Chapman makes you care about these characters and their journey. Whether you’re here for the high stakes intrigue, the slow burn romance, or the existential questions, the book delivers.
M.C., Reader Review
As someone who has bought and read the entire series, this is one of the best sci-fi romance series I've ever read. I couldn't put it down! It's a great sci-fi adventure with steamy romance, great characters, humor, drama, action...everything I want in a story. It kept my intention the entire way through. The characters are relatable, so much so that I felt like I was right there going through everything with them.
The first volume is just the tip of the iceberg. You may think you know where this is going but you don't. Trust me on this. There's so much more to this story than what's on the surface! The story gets better, deeper and more involved with every volume. Just when you think you've got a handle on things, something happens to blow your mind.
I'm taking the time to read it again, I love it so much. I highly recommend this series for anyone that enjoys a good science fiction romance adventure. If that's your thing, you won't be disappointed with this series!
