New Reality #8
Refuge
Best friends, Jack Penn and Isaac Ryan had each other's backs long before the super solar flare and deadly epidemic sent the world straight to hell seven years before. When Jack falls ill, Isaac is terrified of losing the one constant in his life - the very straight man he's been secretly in love with forever.
Unable to face, or even understand, his new feelings for his friend, Jack is intent to push them aside for the sake of their friendship. When beautiful Chloe Collins and her family offer them aid, he can’t deny the pull he feels towards her, but it only complicates things as his erotic thoughts about Isaac refuse to fade.
The last thing Chloe expects is her attraction to the two men they've taken in. She can see the way they feel for each other, and for her, even if they refuse to acknowledge it. Can Jack and Isaac admit what they want and give in to it, especially when the threat of violence from their past dealings looms ever closer?

Defending what one loves was a central theme to this story. It was powerful, sweet, and felt very real.
A mmf romance takes center stage, but things don't happen overnight. The relationships takes time to develop, and there is plenty of plot to drive the secondary story lines.
I normally shy away from post-apocalyptic stories because I don't like my romances too dark. This one wasn't dark. The tension was spot on, but I never felt despair, because the characters had such spirit and love for each other.
It was a very hopeful story. I'll definitely be reading more by Jessica Jarman.
Incidentally, I didn't know this was a book 8 in a series. It read just fine as a stand-alone. But I'll definitely be going back to see how this series begins.
