In the distant future, humanity is dying, and there are no women left on the Earth’s surface, until...
Leah wakes up two hundred years after being put into stasis. But rather than the other women who entered the nuclear bunker with her, she finds herself held hostage by a terrifying, deadly hunter. Leah needs to find the other women and explore this primitive future with them, yet the stranger refuses to let her go. He insists that she belongs with him, and him only. She hates him; his orders, his expectations, his unexpected tenderness, and the longing that he inspires in her.
After years of loneliness, and despair over the future, Raven decides to leave the Mountain Tribe without looking back. When he finds a female dying on her own, he decides that she must be what he’s been looking for. Yet instead of understanding, she meets his calm with anger, his patience with rebellion, and his desire with utter denial. Raven expected to find quiet happiness with his woman, but Leah makes sure that nothing will come easy, including winning her heart.
This steamy romance is the second book in The Mountain Tribe series of science fiction romance novels. It is a complete story and can be read as a standalone. However, The Mountain Tribe is best enjoyed in the series order.
Better than book one, but maybe that's because I knew what I was getting into.
Post-apocalypse Futuristic Hunter-gatherer society Sweet, virgin H No sharing Standalone, but better if read in order
This is a post apocalyptic book that takes place 200 years in the future, when earth as we know it has been destroyed, and mother nature has taken back control. The women who’ve been placed in stasis have woken up to a completely different world.
Two wounded souls, with traumatic childhoods find each other, and fall in love.
Leah was placed in stasis in a bunker along with eight other women so they could survive a nuclear war. They wake up 200 years into the future, but Leah gets sick, loses consciousness, and the other women lose her in the chaos.
Raven, a hunter from a small tribe of men, finds Leah and nurses her back to health. The only problem is that Raven doesn't let Leah leave their cozy cave and he wants to spend their entire lives together there. I know. Crazy 😂
Finding the Raven is a bit similar to the first book. But it is a captive romance, mostly because Raven is tightlipped about why he refuses to go back to the tribe. It frustrated both me and Leah. And I don't blame Leah for acting out in this case.
One thing I found odd is Raven's knowledge about sex. He doesn't act like a virgin who's never seen a woman before. It was more believable with River in book 1. What I did like was the sisterhood that the women formed. They are sad, they miss their world, and they cry in each other's arms. But they are also determined to survive. We didn't really get to see that in book 1, so this was probably my favourite thing about book 2.
Anyway, I'll keep track of this series because we have hints of future couples and I want to see where the author takes the story.
I loved raven! He was so sweet and kind . I did not like leah and felt like she didn't deserve him . When she got upset towards the end when he left without saying goodbye .... like what did you ever do to give him the impression you wanted him for keeps duhhh. The book was good over all and I'd read the next in the series . One thing that I dislike is the mention of the ex boyfriends or ex fiancée in both books, like a brief mention/comparison is fine but through out the whole book just got annoying. I do love the world building and the whole plot in general though.
Love this series! I knew the second book would be about Leah and Raven. This story follows a similar formal to the first book. Both Leah and Raven can't agree on their future. But their stories are more emotional than River and Grace. I may not have agreed with Raven's position, but dang if my heart didn't break for him. I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait to see who gets the next book!
I loved both Raven and Leah so much, as a person with abandonment issues this book hit home so hard. Them finding forever within each other was magnificent. Beautiful.
