Publisher Description

In the dystopian future, two men discover attraction isn't just dangerous, it's deadly.

Two generations ago, the world was annihilated by a series of catastrophic environmental events. The remaining survivors were driven closer and closer to big city centers-damaged but not destroyed-divvied into sixteen identical international territories ruled by the Company.

Oppressive to the core, the Company has one rule in order to recoup the world's devastated population: homosexuality and deviant sexual behaviors are hanging offenses. First time offenders are last-time offenders.

It is the year 2070. Commander Caspar Cannon has a stellar military reputation-and a life-threatening secret. When a revolution rips through the territories, Cannon is ordered to escort Company Executive Nathaniel Rice to a secure location. Leaving the besieged city behind, their journey becomes a minefield of sabotage, betrayal, secrets . . . and intense desire for one another.

Cannon's militant self-repression takes a direct hit, his suspicions warring with passion for a man who can never be his, not while the Company remains in power. True to his mission, he delivers Nathaniel to the safe bunker where a fate he never expected awaits him.

“This book had some really good things going for it- I like the dystopian theme, the government was really oppressive and one of the MC's was terribly brainwashed and closed off because of it. But, the writing was a little choppy in places so that I felt as confused as the characters as to what was going on. Still, once all the twists and turns played out and the truth was finally known, I was glad to see the couple get their HEA (especially since it looked really bad for them for much of the story).”
“I was pleasantly surprised to see a male/male romance available from a "traditional" print publisher in the romance category but I must admit the cover was what totally drew me into this book. The blurb sealed the deal and after reading four chapters, I was hooked. Yes, it's rather long (368 pages) and I felt that it was perhaps a little too long but I really enjoyed the author's voice and very gritty and "real" sex scenes. There's a bit of head-play involved by the characters and a lot of mistrust which may lead readers to want to stop reading but I encourage you to see it through to the end. This is the first in a series and I have to say, I'm hooked on the series plot arc. The author has done a great job in establishing how the world came to be this backward future where freedom requires great sacrifice and revolution is deadly. Soon as the next book is available for preorder, I'm there!”
“Okay I didn't read the synopsis before I started this book, that was my mistake... but it wasn't all bad. So for starters I will say that I am not a big fan of dystopian reads. I know some absolutely love them. This is an M/M dystopian hot read. I did enjoy the story of the two men more than anything. For me it felt a little drawn out and I know that is partial to the talk. Like I said I am usually not a big fan. I did enjoy the few twists that came and one I was yelling out this can't be happening right now. I will throw my phone I swear it don't tempt me. So I guess I did get sucked in at a few parts. :) But it was mostly due to the relationship that was growing. That is what had my interest from the get go. I will probably not be likely to read the next one just because for me personally it was not my thing. I am very picky on dystopian reads. I really hope that others love it though, those who love a good erotic dystopian with man / man lovin!!”
