Synopsis (Goodreads):
Love, in a hopeless place.Thoughts on Die For You: Man, I like scenarios where plucky survivors are trying to figure things out without the creature comforts they're accustomed to and with danger looming on the horizon. To say this series fits the bill would be a mild understatement. It has all the glorious post-apocalytpic shenanigans I want with a side order of pending nuclear meltdown (possibly).
Two months after a virus took out civilization, Rachel Donnelly is the last living soul in California, as far as she can tell. Until she runs into a Marine sniper, battle-hardened but alive and healthy.
Adam Sanchez would love nothing more than a slamming session of I-can't-believe-we're-alive post-apocalyptic sex in the back of his Hummer. But Rachel's fragility, inexperience-and much younger age-hold him back from exposing her to his raw, aggressive sexuality. If anything, Rachel needs protection. Especially from himself.
As they band together with other survivors to battle feral animals, violent ex-cons, and motorcycle clubs jockeying for power, Rachel grows stronger in mind, body, and spirit-strong enough to give the dangerously sexy Marine what they both crave.
The power of their passion rocks Adam's world, bringing him to his knees-which, he discovers too late, is the worst possible place to be when danger springs from the shadows.
Warning: Contains a sexy Marine, a tattooed ex-con, a girl who blossoms into a sexually assured young woman, laughter despite the pain, m/f/m ménage, hope, love, and more bad language and violence than are strictly necessary.
That said, yes, Rachel is often immature and does things without thinking through to the consequences. But it's what I'd expect from a college-aged young woman who has no survival training and little life experience. She does learn. She listens to Adam and starts working on making herself stronger. She might bitch and moan about it, but she does it. Eventually.
On the other hand, Adam is kinda jaded and set in his ways. He knows he can protect himself and Rachel and he has it in his mind that it includes protecting her from him. Admittedly, he's pretty possessive. He wants to call the shots and he doesn't think a sweet young thing like Rachel will be able to handle that. So he tries to stay away. Which doesn't last all that long, but I guess it's the thought that counts, right?
Survivors, a post-apocalyptic world with very few people left alive, danger, and the occasional threesome. I liked it. A lot.
