"Our current leader...he regulates tax cuts to all the bigwigs...Companies that make a shitload of money and feed it all right back into the pockets of the government...The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer, and if there's something we can do to stop it, we have to take that chance."


Word.

Also, this futuristic, dystopian setting is disturbingly realistic given today's political climate.

I needed something Non-Sweet for the Whips & Kisses challenge...and since I don't have the time for Evenfall or Special Forces, and I think Bloodraven might scar me for life, I figured I'd give this one a whirl. (Not in the mood for an audio or else I'd use the 2nd Captive Prince.)

I love that Carver is actually both smaller AND younger than Jones.

Wow Jones, I'm really confused why your gun though O_o.

"Is it because I'm a man?" I asked, low and quiet. He narrowed his eyes at me. "No, it because you're you."-Carver is the meanest bastard ever. Even Zsadist wasn't this effing heartless.

See if this was a mf book I'll be dnf this book because of the obvious disrespect and low self esteem. I'm confused Carver hasn't said more than a hundred words to you, yet you let this motherfucker have his way with you. So far I'm seeing the same sad ass tendencies in a mf and I'm not happy at all.

This love is so one sided. I don't get why Jones is so head over heels for a man that doesn't pay him any attention. You just disobeyed direct orders to save his life. It's so not resonating with me.

Sounds like Carver is a serious douchebag.

Holy fuck, this book!! I'm loving the fool outta this, hardcore!

T8 was standing near the back, as the ringleaders always did, long, laser machete in hand.

---I want one.

Nice prologue.

with a gun.

"It wasn’t like in movies or love songs where birds sang and sweet sighs were had. It was hard and cruel and sexual, because Carver was all those things. When he kissed me, I thought maybe he wasn’t empty inside after all. When Carver kissed me, I knew that the only thing I had inside me was a hunger for him."

I cannot really count this as romance, but man, I loved the emotionally-messy people involved :)

Oh, oh, OH, does this mean what I think it means?? REUNITED couple? Couple with history between them?? Just one of my favorite tropes ever! *feeling gleeful*

Oh, the prologue is sensual, it makes me all tingly.

The dedication. <3 <3 <3

Carver & Jones & Bruno. You are all killing me.

Well I didn't know you could do that with a gun....

Oh Carver. I feel you're going to break my heart.

Good call.

"So I'd lie there, lingering in that space between sleep and consciousness, and let him touch me in all the ways he wanted."
I'm on the first page& this is already as hot as...

The dedication! <3
