I'm a romance author who loves Over The Top alpha males who are possessive and completely obsessed with their person or mate. Nothing will get in their way from claiming what's theirs. I enjoy writing darker type romances whether in the contemporary world, PNR worlds, or even post-apocalyptic worlds.
For a post apocalyptic world the world is not very fleshed out. By part 3 it's vaguely established what happened to the world. Little introduction to the characters and what got them to where they are. A backstory that feels like we should have been introduced far further back than we are, and characters with no real depth in interpersonal relationships or how they relate to the world. Devon is more annoying in the first part but more fun in the second, and in the third part Mac is the absolute worst at communication. Just more flimsy than a piece of rice paper. 2.5 stars rounded to 3 only because it started to get interesting when all four characters started interacting.
I was having withdrawals from the Titans hockey series, so I found that they wrote another short series and gave it a shot. The first half is Rex and Devon, the second half is Mac and Cal. Honestly, I wish there was more, again, because I feel like this could have been a phenomenal series if it was full length. I wanted to see more of what happens with the four of them now they are under the same roof, and I wanted to see how the friendship between Devon and Cal blossoms.
This wasn’t that dark, more the world come to an end, there’s barely anyone left, but there’s a bunch of violent gangs around, so there’s some mild action/killing. Otherwise, this is a well written BDSM age difference romance with protective leaders. Mistakes are made, trust is given, and in the whole madness of this new world they finally have a family again, someone to rely on. They are not alone.
