I really liked this book... UNTIL the 94% mark. The event that took place at that point in the story made me want to projectile vomit all over the damn place. It was unnecessary, it was disappointing, it was disgusting & it RUINED THE WHOLE FRAKIN' BOOK for me. I. Just. Can't. Even. *smh*
This was such a stellar series up until that point. In fact, I've been recommending the sh*t out of it over the past two days but now... GAH! I want to tell everyone to just stop reading at about the 90% mark of this book & envision the full HEA on their own!!
Sad to say goodbye to Airen, Abby & Joseph but even sadder that things went down the way they did. #PissedOffAtEveryone

**3.5** What happened with this last installment of this glorious trilogy? I LOVED book one and liked book two and didn’t like book three all that much. But I highly respect the author for giving us such a wonderful post-apocalypse world with such rich characters.
First the good. I love this cover. The symbolism of the three infinity shapes is perfect. (Dark eyes, ladybug and dimples). You can feel how much Airen, Abby and Joseph love and need each other. This trilogy has the most realistic mmf relationship I’ve ever read.
While I didn’t like hearing about it, we discovery why Abby is always so negative about her looks and why her self-esteem is low.
If book one was the tingle of a new relationship and book two was the deeper ‘getting to know you’ phase, then book three was the discovery of the skeletons in the closet. Also maybe wondering why you agreed to be in a relationship with these people in the first place? What I loved so much in book one and book two, was gone in book three. The plot lines were weak, and simply there to create extra drama. What an awful decision!
Another irritant. How in the hell does a huge majority of the population die off from the plague and yet all these ex’s and shitty family members seem to not only survive, BUT COME TO VISIT dragging their drama lama’s with them. I mean, really, what are the odds?!!
In all three books I can think of only once a discussion that was had about pregnancy, or birth control, and nothing about sexually transmitted infections. People are having sex all over the place, mm/mf/mmf and I’m wondering what else they’re sharing besides bodily fluids.
I had a tough time dragging through to the end, and (per recommendations from friends) skipped the depressing epilogue. I was already irritated at the choices made for drunk Joseph, I didn’t need to diminish my love for the series any further.
Ok, last complaint. Overall, I’m so happy I found this trilogy, but wish it had been a duo without all the drama added to make this third book happen.

There is no such thing as paradise, the perfect life or the perfect ending. There is always something waiting around the corner. This rule still applies to our trio of characters in this series. The author once again has thrown the readers a curve ball.
I always say that the past should be stay buried. But when people from their past show up on their door steps, the skeletons won't be able to stay in their closets for long. Abby, Airen, and Jospeh have to work on their relationship when thing start pulling them apart. This book will keep you just s hooked into this series as the first and second book.
At the end of this book, the author give the reader the option of leaving off on a happy ending or a epilogue. (which probably means that it'll be a cliffhanger or bad ending) Idk, I didn't read it. I am actually scared to read it. Maybe i'll read it later down the road if I get the nerve. If you read these books along with my reviews. I hope you enjoyed this trilogy as much as I did.
Thank you S.M Shade for all the hard work you put into this series.

Such a good series but.....
Reading this series about the lives of survivors of a plague that wiped out most of humanity. There is laughter , anger , celebration , happiness and sadness. Oh...and sex . Lots of sex .👀 I highly recommend these books but..a warning. The last book ends on a happy note IF ( spoiler ) you don't read the epilogue ( 7 years later Airen) . I did not like the epilogue. I wish I hadn't read it . Bummer ! Otherwise awesome books .

Well i dont know what to say. If i could of jumped into this book and threw some punches i totally would of! It seemed like Abby, Airen and Joey (couldnt resist) were getting their fair share of crap thrown at them. I wanted to shake Airen when he tried to break it off with Joey. I wanted to shake Abby and tell her how good she is and not let idiots tell her otherwise. I wanted to shake Joseph when that cow sunk her claws into him. But these guys are resilient. They will bounce back twice as hard. Im glad they over came their demons.
However shannon, i was in tears at the end!!
A must read series, even if your not into mmf like i wasnt. Ive changed my mind now.
Very well written. I flove it!

This series was so good. But I could NOT stand the female main character. She was just a walking contradiction. The I'm so ugly no one loves me, was just so annoying. I don't want to rant there was a lot of annoying things she did and said throughout the series but it does not take away from the story. The drama, the loneliness, the crazies. I don't like not knowing exactly what happened to cause this but it was a great journey to see people come together and fight to survive.

Uuuggghhhh
I don't leave reviews very often so when I do its because the book or series really got to me. I loved this series, its now one of my favorites. The ending was perfect even though I cried my eyes out. I love this author and have obsessively read all her books this last week and im glad I waited to read these books last. I can't wait till the next book from s.m.

The Triventure ends with a BANG!
What a beautiful end to a perfect story. So many times I gasped in this finale I was on the edge of my seat begging for everything to be okay. All in all it was a perfect, beautiful ending and what a journey to have been on! AMAZING JOB SM SHADE!!!

SM Shade has blown me away with this series. I loved every part of this last book. Still the same loved and hated characters and some new ones thrown in the mix. The story was fast paced and I couldn't read fast enough to see what was going to happen. I am so glad I finally read this series and will definitely recommend it to everyone!

This book, oh gosh. I cried.. I laughed.. I threw things... I bitched out the authors and FUCK me it was good. Seriously there was plot and emotion and feels and sex. The characters.. just so well portrayed.
February 16, 2018
Fantastic.
Took me a while to get into the first book tbh, but somewhere in it the book captivated me. Beautiful and emotional story lines. I do wish I hadn't read the final chapter, I'm blubbering like a baby at the moment. Absolutely heartbreaking.

5 unbelievable stars, amazing series
Holy smokes, what a fantastic series! This review will be about the series as a whole because I didn't want to stop reading once I started. The series, All That Remains 1-3, needs to be read in order so make sure to start with The Last Woman.
First, I want to thank the author for putting the entire series in the Kindle Unlimited through Amazon, otherwise I would not have found and read these 3 books. Also thank you for introducing me to something new...my first read about an apocalypse and noI will continue to look for stories such as this when I looking for something different.
So in book 1 we are introduced to Abby and her who servivors of the plaque that basically wiped out most of the earths population. Desperate to survive they are forced to travel into town in search for essential life saving everyday items, such as food, clean water, medical supplies. Abby runs into Airen while in town and they decide to lean on each other to try and survive this disaster. So their story begins and this series takes us through about 20 yrs of their life in a post apocalypse.
At times, this series touches on some hard real life issues, child abuse, sex abuse, violence including murder, and child rape. However each issue is delt with in a manner that is appropriate to the storyline. I thought the author did a fantastic job at concentrating on the love story, while sparatically bringing up some real life issues and how to deal, or in this case, sometimes fail to deal with them properly.
The romance and love that develops through this journey and wonderful. Book one kind of starts out slow as it builds a solid foundation for the plot and character development, it's a little steamy in some of the sex scenes, but hold on, soon you are going to read some very HOT, HOT, HOT scenes. Without giving too much away, I will say this this...the story contains sex of M/F, M/F/M, M/M so reader be warned, if you do not like menage stories, this story is not for you. However, I would encourage you to give it a try, because this is the most believable and realistic menage I've read.
Highly recommend this series and can't wait for more from this author. (less)

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review
Holy smokes. I absolutely LOVE Joseph, Abby, and Airen. They have had to fight for a lot and to fight for each other, but the love they have is so clear and genuine. One plot line in the middle really bothered me and set me from bumping this to a 5 star, but beyond that very annoying story, this book was brilliant. I loved seeing Abby fight for her son and fight for her guys. I loved seeing the guys stick up for Abby and show her how much she is truly worth. Nothing could come between them, even though many forces tried. The first ending (not counting the special epilogue) was fabulous. You really felt like they were able to find a true HEA despite it being like it was the end of the world. We got a great glimpse into their lives a few years later. The second "don't read if you don't like sadness" ending was absolutely beautiful. I don't tend to like sadness and tears in my books, but I have to tell you...I am so glad I read this. It proved there truly was an HEA, not just one that you could assume was there years later. Abby, Joseph, and Airen were amazing. I am so glad I read this series.

S.M. Shade's "All That Remains" Box Set is a collection of three novels. This story is going to stay with me for a while. It's an amazing story of a MMF love in the times after a plague has wiped out most of the people on the planet. I can't get the song "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors out of my head. I couldn't put the books down...I had to read straight through all 3. Great storytelling with lots of arcing storylines. And plenty of sexy scenes...every combo of MM, MF, and MMF. I will definitely read more from this author.
April 5, 2016
WOW! Another great read from S.M. Shade. My first MMF reading experience and a wonderfully emotional read. I love the way she makes you feel emotionally connected to each character in her books. As much as this book expresses the unkind, hateful, mean and cruel side of the human population that has been stripped down to almost nothing, raw and savage, you are also shown the forgiveness and sacrifice between Lovers, Friends and Family. This is such an easy read, yet intense and graphic making you feel like you are there experiencing the turmoil and drama, making you blush, cry and giggle.... This is an action packed series, Shannon has left no stone unturned on this one! Do be warned, this series contains extreme MMF sexiness, graphic descriptions and will touch your soul. #ladybugdarkeyesdimples!

The third book in the series will blow you away with it's final installment in the life of Abby, Airen and Joe. This budding romance between three people left at the end of time come together as survivors and make a new life for themselves. When they discover that a community of armed men are preying on some of the last innocent people left on earth, they plan a raid to save them. In the aftermath of the rescue, Joe is seduced by one of the women rescued and taken advantage of so that she is expecting his baby. Can Airen and Abby forgive Joe so that they can keep their family together? The perfect triangle of love set in a world broken by disease and horrors comes a hopeful story of love and sacrifice. A Must Read!!!

This book I liked the least in the series. I strongly disliked the alternative ending because I feel that it was unnecessary and that the writer cheated both her readers and her characters by giving an easy way out and just ruining their story. At the same time the sex scenes started to become too monotonous. Or am I alone with the thought that they should have tried a DP or that there would have been M/M action the other way around, too. I mean those are the true hotness factors in menage stories.
I'm glad however that we got to the bottom of Abby's past and insecurities but somehow that part was not discussed enough. The novel seemed a bit rushed or was it just that I didn't want the story to end?

In the third and final book we see Abby's past catch up with her and boy was it heart breaking to see. We also meet some new friends, and face a new enemy. With each book we get pulled into these characters lives and what they feel. I loved it. I love the relationship that Abby Airen and Joseph have. It's sweet yet has amazing steam to it. This would be the perfect book for someone that isn't sure weather they would enjoy M/M interaction. We learn more about the characters pasts and our heart ache. I really loved all the twists and turns in this book, I was shocked yet hopeful with every page I read. Beautiful ending but if you keep reading you will end with tears in your eyes. 5 stars.
May 21, 2015
5 stars!
I loved this book. Better yet I loved the entire series. I do not normally read these types of books (world ending/futuristic romance) but I wanted a different read and S.M. Shade delivered 100%. I adored the alternate ending even though it made me cry. I love when a series ties it all up in a bow and you feel complete. This book gave you that experience. If you like drama, suspense and hot M/F/M love then you will enjoy this series.
I will be looking for more from this author for my reading list.

Great conclusion to an enthralling series!!!
The story just got more and more interesting the farther you get into the series and the more you get to know the characters! I love the way the characters' relationship develops as we fall in love with them more.
As they grow stronger in their relationship, they deal with their issues just like a regular couple: they fight, they break and mend hearts, and they stay in love.
I wish their story didn't have to end! This is definitely worthy of re-reading!

I have absolutely loved this series. And even though it is all wrapped and *wipes tears away* I am going to miss reading more. There was just this easy flow between Abby, Airen, and Joseph! I loved their easy banter! I have never really been a menage reader but the way this series is I may read more if they are as great as this one! Thank you S. M. Shade, I can't wait to see what you write next!!

When I started reading it I was back in the story.
I love Airen, Joseph and Abby and their journey!
Now in this book the exes are involved.
And almost at the end something happened that made my heart wreck.
This was a very good end to this trilogy with a second ending.
If you want a HEA dont read any further!

OMG!!!!!
This book the last in this series was an emotional rollercoaster. I have been so mad that I wanted to reach in and knock some sense into these men, cheered them on when it finally worked out and cried like a baby. This book hot sex with three people but there struggles and triumphs made me come back for more.
