Twenty-year-old Isla Shaw has spent the past two years as a prisoner of her city’s corrupt government, but finally, with the help of Doctor Adam Weston, she has escaped. But if she and Adam are going to stay alive, they’ll have to reach a place where they can hope to be truly free.
As Isla and Adam journey across the continent, they find themselves not only learning more about one another, but starting to fall in love as well. But when they reach their destination, will Adam’s connections and Isla’s courage and fighting spirit be enough to keep them safe?
Aria is an author of dark erotic romance. Her heroes are not always immediately obvious, and neither are the villains. Her books often have elements of horror, and the characters at the end of a story are forever changed by the events that befell them. But she always makes sure there's a happy ending, even if the characters have to work for it.
Aria also writes the warm fuzzy romance stuff as Katie Douglas.
I enjoyed this story. I really like dystopian/post-apocalyptic stories and I like stories with kink, so this hits all kinds of good places for me.
The government of Telona has kept Isla imprisoned in a breeding farm, where she's been artificially inseminated and cut open to take her babies away from her. One day she wakes up and is able to escape.
Adam has been imprisoned in the breeding farm as well. He's a doctor and is there to make sure that all the women who are there are as healthy as it is possible for them to be. He thinks there are all brain-dead since that's what he's told. However, when Isla talks to him, he's totally surprised.
She manages to get free, but she is taken to Adam, who tells the guards that he will train her to obey. The second he gets her alone, he starts plotting how to get away. He wanted to escape anyway, but there is something about Isla, so he wants to make sure that she goes with him.
This isn't just a kinky story, it's also kind of a coming-of-age story. Isla grows and matures during the whole book and it's really interesting to watch that happen. There's also the whole road trip aspect to it. A great story with a lot of awesome layers and aspects. I have really enjoyed the series and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Dystopian Adult Romance with Doctor Play and BDSM👏👏👏 Elements. This book's story line doesn't make sense in some areas. In parts of it, woman are not allowed to have children. In other parts, they are made to have children.
Isla💋💃 is just a living womb, basically, living as a sedated vegetable on a baby farm. At twenty years old, she has had two babies, never seeing either of them.
A male doctor, Adam🐺🍆🌋👏, pining for his own woman, realizes Isla💋💃 is not brain dead or comatose like all the other women in the birthing hospital prison they are kept in. He decides to stop her sedation, wake her up, and take her away, and claim her as his own. Isla💋💃 is like a child, she knows nothing about the world🌍, and absolutely nothing about men. She's technically a twenty year old virgin!
The book📑 is pretty strange. I am not a big fan of dystopian worlds🌍, and this book📑 is a dystopian adult xxx book all the way through. But, I give the Author big credits for her writing.
This book is delicious and so different. It is set in the same world as Hunted (formerly titled The Last Rancher). You don’t have to read that book as it has different characters, but I say do it as it is also an awesome story and helps understand the overall backstory. This story is suspenseful, angsty, sexy, and just *so good*. This book has so many facets: It’s a dystopian novel. It’s a book about conflicting desires. And it’s a book about transformation and change. I don’t want to give anything away, but right from the beginning, meeting Isla, trapped, mute and practically paralyzed in a bed kept as a drugged up womb... the book had my utter attention. Of course there are delicious sex and discipline scenes. But even better is that these are paired with everything else! I am also guessing that there are going to be even more of these books. Don’t worry, no cliffie, just an overall story that still needs to be finished. I, for one, can’t wait! FIVE STARS✨ ✨
This author just keeps getting better and better. A deliciously dark story. The world building is so unique and the premise is creative. A well written story of redemption and new beginnings. An emotion filled story that will absolutely pull at your heartstrings. Isla works so hard to find herself and her purpose. You just want to hug her. I could not put this book down.
This is a strange and twisted read which left me feeling slightly unsettled. It's by no means the darkest romance i have ever read but it has many very warped elements and situations. The whole story was unusual.
