Ms O'Connor can build a world and pull you into it, making you feel the desperation the heroine Lexa feels just trying to survive. Her Bravado shines through as she tries to deal with those around her. I felt her need to experience something better in life than what she has already known. You also feel Gah-re-al's struggle to conform to what he knows or to take that impossible leap and grab onto something he unknowingly longed for. This for me has been one of the best Post-apocalyptic Sci-fi sto...more
Very well done post apocalyptic story. Good feel for the fragmented society left after the comets hit earth. The alien element was fairly well done. He mostly seemed alien except when he called her baby while making love. That just seems very Earth centric to me. The romance was slow building and well done. No multiple partners in this one. The only thing that really brought the book down for me was the super quick ending. As usual I felt that a. the book needed to be longer and b. that extra le...more
I love Kaitlyn and loved this story, I wanted more...what happened when they got to Raphael's homestead, the birth of their baby and what happens with Lexa's siblings. I just can't get enough of the world that Kaitlyn created. Truly my only real complaint and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it took until nearly half way through the book for the hero and heroine to come together. I hope that this is truly the start of a new series and that we get to revisit this world and these cha...more
Loved it. Could relate to characters which were believable and great world building.
The background of story is 50-70years ago two meteors hit earth and with the following environmental cataclysm wiped out a fair chunk of humanity with the remenants living by scavenging what's left from previous (our) civilisation. Then come Gabriel's people to settle on/ build a colony on Earth, but who also feel the responsibility or taming/rehabilitating the human savages for various reasons.

Everyone who is a fan of sci-fi romance.
Classic Kaitlyn O'Connor! First I would like to say that I am a HUGE Kaitlyn O'Connor fan! I have read most, if not all of her books as well as many of her books under her other pen names. This book goes straight into my "favorites" list.
The heroine, Lexa, is strong and determined to make her life better. She faces many trials in life and, under the circumstances, has adapted very well to a post apocalyptic world.
The hero, Gabriel, is a super bad ass Lawgiver who walks into town to take out th...more

I like Kaitlyn O'Connor and this one started out pretty good. It wasn't bad but I was really disappointed in the ending. It wasn't as erotic as many of her books but that wasn't a problem for me. There just seemed to be too many unresolved issues at the end. Issues I'm assuming will be addressed in future additions to this series. I mean, I assume this is part of a series.
While not a bad story...the end just kinda petered out....I don't know if it was a bad copy from Fictionwise or poor editing but one minute they were discussing moving Lexa and Gabriel quitting being a "lawgiver" and in the next sentence she is 6 months pregnant and Gabriel is worried about weather or not he would be getting laid....
I enjoy reading Kaitlyn O'Connor's books (including the books under her pen names). As the first book in this series (I hope), this book does start 'slow' because it sets up the world and storyline. The romance may seem secondary to the plot but it is still very much there. After all, it's Kaitlyn O'Connor!
Good book. I did nit like the ending very well though (it cuts off very abruptly). The hero of the novel however is very prejudice through out the book and it is left very unresolved as to whether his ways are changed. I wish there could have been a second installment to this book.
Where is the rest of the book??? I felt like she started writing, gave up, left it sitting for a couple of years, blew the dust off and went oh.. "and they lived happily ever after" the end. Why is the end so abrupt? Why? Why? Why?
I can not believe I'm giving O'Connor just 2 stars. I loved the premise of this book. Post apocalyptic alien scifi erotica sign me up! So what was my problem? Where was the editor for this book? There were so many typos and just wrong words scattered throughout the book it was distracting. There were also a few times I wondered if the book was missing chapters or pages. I'd be reading along and then Wham- what just happened? This book could have easily been a four star for me if it had just been...more
okay, were the heck is book 2? This isn't a series? Why the heck not?
DNF; Just not doing it for me.
