Dystopian worlds is something I really enjoy reading about. This story came out during the popular theories of how to take the electricity grid going down. Ms. Ryan nicely incorporates the Amish which adds a realistic layer to the story. I like it!
The characters are okay. Julia is a brave female fighting to make it to her brother. Waylaid by an unfortunate breakdown of her bike, she is found and rescued by Arden. Arden is a good guy who has a good thing going. He has a home and some food to survive until the world starts to settle down. He is lonely all by himself. With his neighbors next door killed by scavengers, he does need help to defend his home. When he finds Julia, it's a blessing. When his best friend, Ben returns, the situation heats up.
The menage in this story is mfm. It's sweet and enjoyable. This plot is well written and the conflicts are all possibilities if we went back to a time w/o electricity. The threats are unfortunately all too realistic as people kill for food and rape whenever they can. Recommended for menage lovers who enjoy dystopian themes.

Check out my other listens at Eargasms Audiobook Reviews
I have the audio book and really enjoyed listening to the story. The narrator Rex, J. Silverton is a delicious delight to the ears!! There are not many men who take on erotic romance, Mr Silverton causes multiple eargasms!! When he goes into the deep voices of the men in dominant mode...girl shivers!!
The story is a little confusing in the beginning, I was naughty and did not read the blurb before listening. So, it took a little bit to really get what had happened and where the world was at that moment. But once things are clear the story really flows.
I really love the mixed narrative. It really helps you get to know what all the characters are thinking and feeling. It is also really clear when the POV changes. Through both the wonderful voices the narrator keeps distinct and the switches coinciding with new chapters.
Julia is a bit of a contradiction, she is a kickbutt chick but she also wants to be homey. I like her sassy attitude and the way she pushes the men to take control.
Arden and Ben are a delicious pair. They really do make the perfect man! And it definitely takes two guys to handle Julia. Such yummy dominance in the bedroom.
The steam is off the hook!! Really hot and heavy in both the one on one and they menage scenes. A girl needs a shower pretty often, specially when it is being read in that sexy voice!! Swoon.
The story here is very involved and at times it seemed a touch repetitive. There is a lot going on and the story spans a fairly long period of time. I imagine if I had been reading the book on my own I would have been tempted to skim.

This was a 3.5 for me, and very well written. I won this book in a contest the author so graciously donated to and I read this as a challenge and I am not disappointed. Sylvia Ryan does not disappoint with her skills. I do not usually read the end of the world type of stories, because they irk me.
The characters in this story all come together out of dire circumstances and slowly build a relationship. The character development was done very well and believable. The day to day is what we see most and their little climatic situations don't tend to last long.
The one thing that irked me was the ick factor of the sex. I'm all for getting down and dirty...but in a different. Wrapping my mind around the cleanliness issue and the body odor during sexual situations was just weird for me. Again I don't usually read the Dystopian Erotic genre because of such "irks" I have.
Aside from my personal reading preferences this story was done very well!

Loved it. Liked how plausible it was. Nothing was done or happened instantly. The story had everything, love,laughter,death,tears and hope.I hope there is a sequel as I would like to see how the four get on and if John makes it back.One of the best menage stories I have read

Wow. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this. The premise is very interesting: an electromagnetic pulse has been detonated in the area, making all electronics dead. Since most everything has some kind of electronic component, society as we know it is completely changed. And people don't know how to deal with it.
Julia and her brother John (in the National Guard) had discussed potential disaster scenarios. The pulse was one, so when it happened, Julia tried to make it to where John was stationed. She came across lots of stuff she never thought she'd see -- gangs of men roving the streets looking for anything they could steal or use. Society devolved into a kill-or-be-killed mentality. Julia had gone 50 miles from where she started (but much further since she was trying to avoid major roadways) before she just couldn't go any farther. Her body had given up, even if her mind hadn't. That's when Arden found her.
Arden picked her up, carried her to his home, and nursed her back to health. Once she was healthy again, it was difficult to avoid the spark between them. And then Ben, Arden's best friend, showed up, and sparks flew between Julia and Ben as well. She didn't know how to handle it. First, she'd been brought up to be independent. Second, she couldn't believe either of them could possibly love her, that they were just interested in their own gratification. Ultimately they proved her wrong. And lots of stuff happened in the meantime.
I liked how Julia wouldn't settle for less than what she felt she deserved. I liked how strong she was, that she garnered so much respect in her previous profession. I loved how caring and sweet Arden was, and how unrelenting and dominating Ben was. Yet Ben proved he could also be incredibly sweet and gentle. I've never been through a veritable apocalypse (duh, lol), but it seemed the things they were doing were both smart and realistic. Since Arden was in a rural area, it makes sense that he knew what was needed and how to do the stuff he was doing. And it seemed like Julia could do the things she did as well. And their relationships, while they grew very slowly, seemed as though they could easily happen in that kind of environment. And I loved that the last word in the story was "hope".
I really enjoyed the story and look forward to the next.

I received this audiobook through the goodreads making connections in exchange for a honest opinion. first the voice that is reading this book is velvety like chocolate perfect for this type of read. He really is able to get you into what you are hearing.
Arden save Julia. He finds her on the side of the road brings her home and nurses her back to health while falling in love with her. Julia as she gets better wonders why Arden isn't touching her thinking he doesn't care all the while it is because he is worried about her health. She is thinking he doesn't care and doesn't want her when he does. This is basically Julia's stance alot in the book.
Arden is the swoony character we all love. Caring, sensitive kind and your knight in shining armour. He is sensitive to her needs and wants and respects Julia as a equal. Even as it is seen that Ben and him are both what Julia needs to be satisfied he accepts this with open arms and goes into this new world with love for his friend and her only wanting Jullia to be happy. Sigh every womans dream.
Julia I am on the fence about some areas she is a strong confident woman. Other aspects she acts like a snively baby. She is unsure of herself and the people around her and has let her past influence her present. It is only with the calm and steady love of Arden and ben that she is able to break from this mold and be a confident woman and let go of her past to truly be happy.
Ben he doesn't evoke the warm and fuzzy emotions that Arden does. He is kind and loves Julia but he is more raw burning passion than the beautiful candle that makes us feel safe and comforted. You know he would do anything for Julia and that his love is unwavering but the feelings from him just don't give you the fuzzy wuzzies.
Overall a steamy book that will have you enjoying your day away as the passion erupts and escalates between the three of them. The ending is a sweet and beautiful way to show that love and families comes in all shapes and sizes and isn't always the perfect wrapping that others think it should be but a beautiful rainbow of colours.

A few months after an EMP wipes out all electronics in the US – no power for anything electronic and no vehicles, Julia is on her own and struggling to survive one day at a time in the crazy and violent world left behind. Her path crosses her with Arden and eventually Ben, and together they work to create a safe refuge for themselves.
Julia is not your typical romance story weak female waiting for her big strong men to save her. She had previously worked in a prison and knew how to take care of herself. She definitely had a sweet side to her, but also stood up for herself and did not get pushed around. Arden and Ben were each great guys, but neither was exactly what Julia wanted or needed. Together, though, they were perfect. Thrown in together in their fight for survival, despite the odds they wanted to make living together work.
What would happen if we lost all electricity, phones, and clean water? There would be chaos and a fight for survival. I enjoyed this story, and the author made it believable. Though, the ending seemed a little bit abrupt to me; I would have loved to know more about what happened later.
Audio review: I listened to the audio of this book. The narrator did a great job with the story. His voice was smooth and easy to listen to.

* I received this audio book for free in exchange for a reveiw *
WOW! That's pretty much all I have to say! Yeah, wow!
I love dystopia books, love them, I also like some skin in my books, so this book is perfect for me. This is more erotic/skin, just set in dystopian setting.
An EMP goes off rendering the East Coast helpless. Julia has a bike accident and Arden finds her. She is badly beat up and it's touch and go with her. After she heals they live together and work together on his family farm. The chemistry is there, but no one makes the first move. Then Ben arrives. Boy does that change things. They finally get into their groove and boy is it a hot one at that. Both men love Julia in their own way and together they make a perfect man for her. Awe!!
The story is good, the characters are likable. My only complaint is when will women learn to just go with it! Who cares what people think, if it feels good just do it!
I want to be stuck in a farm with Arden and Ben. Really I do!

I was actually given the audio version of this book to listen to and review in exchange for an honest review. I have to admit that it was weird for me to listen to this book rather than read it. I actually think I would have enjoyed it much more if I had read it rather than listened to it. However, the premise of the story itself was a great combination of dystopia and hot and steamy. Although it felt odd to listen to the story, I was happy with the narrator and narration. The narrator's voice was perfect for this type of steamy story. And since the story was a great combination, I was easily drawn into the story and actually listened to the whole of it in one sitting. The ending is an excellent way to show how special love is once it is found and how love can help make each person feel whole and part of something bigger than themselves. Overall, I truly enjoyed the story and will definitely be looking for more from this author.

Holy cow that was very detailed! Lol. I actually really really liked the story, I am so tired of boring love stories and this was definitely not that! And I really liked the 3 main characters, they seemed like regular people and their situation made sense.

I thought it was great...but I wrote it so of course I'm going to give it 5 stars!

Wow, this book threw me for a loop! I just kind of skipped over the description and going by the silly cover, I had NO idea it was going to be a dystopian story. But what a fun way of finding out ;)
I liked this book. It was cute. But it didn't particularly stand out or bedazzle, so only 3 stars.

Honestly, I wasn't sure if this was going to be the book for me. I am not a big fan of the "end of the world" type books, but a quick glance at the blurb held promise, so I thought I would give it a go. According to experts, just one burst from an electromagnetic pulse, also called EMP, would wipe out anything that runs on electrical components ultimately aiding in the break down society as we know it. Doesn't sound so fun, huh? Have you ever thought about what you might do without the modern conveniences we have grown so accustomed to, such as, electricity, transportation and access to clean water and food whenever we desire? Well, Ms. Ryan has the right idea...if society is going to hell in a hand basket, then please GOD hook me up with two fine men...
Tough as nails prison guard, Julia was prepared for an end oft the world type of scenario when the EMP crippled the world, or so she thought. When unforeseen circumstances leave her face down in the dirt and dying, she is SAVED BY ONE handsome stranger named Arden. Once Julia has recovered from her injuries, she busies herself with making Arden's house a home. It is obvious from the beginning that there is a mutual attraction between the two, though they never act on it.
When the gorgeous Ben shows up on their doorstep, he is welcomed with open arms and legs and mouth...not quite that quickly, but he definitely raised the bar on the farm. It was impossible for Julia to deny her attraction to Ben. Julia decides not to act on her feelings for either man as it was obvious that the two were in competition for her affections. Believing that they could not possibly love her and the only reason for their attention was because she was the only female accessible to the, therefore the only option to warm their beds and to slake their sexual desires. After much persuasion, Julia succumbs to their seductions and allows herself to be SHARED BY TWO.
Sylvia Ryan takes a topic that has been done a thousand times before, adds a little spin on it and breathes new life into an otherwise boring story. I thought she did a fantastic job of keeping the characters on a realistic timeline in regards to becoming intimate, especially with respect to introducing the menage to the story. It could have felt cheap and dirty, but it was sweet and hot. This would be a great read for anyone looking for a hot book to read with an entertaining and fresh spin on the end of the world scenario. I can't imagine a better way to spend my days...with two sexy men all to myself!

Saved by One, Shared by Two is the second story written by Sylvia Ryan about the fall of the United States after and Electromagnetic Pulse. We briefly met Julia in the first tory, Seduced by Three. In Saved by One, Shared by Two we find out what happens to her.
Julia is on her way to her brother. Along the way, she literally falls off her bike and is laying in the middle of the road when Arden finds her. He takes her home, helps her heal and they set up house together. Shortly after that, Arden’s best friend Ben returns. Together the three of them face the new reality they live in.
I enjoyed this story. In fact I’m enjoying this entire series. In this one, we meet John, Julia’s brother. I’m REALLY hoping he gets a story next!
One of the really neat things about this book is that it’s not just a romance set in the post-apocalyptic US. It’s really about their survival, the new reality they are living in. It deals with all sorts of things people would be facing now that they don’t have electricity, running water, easy access to food, medicine, medical help.
It also shows how our perceptions of what relationships and families look like can and will change in this new reality. Everything changes.
Julia is a strong woman. She’s built up walls around herself but Arden and Ben are willing to fight to break those walls down. The two men were complete opposites of each other. They ended up complementing each other nicely in their relationship with Julia. They each gave her something she needed.

When I was contacted by Sylvia Ryanfor a review request I thought, cool a smut book, I’ll give it a try. But I was surprised that Saved by One, Shared by Two had some backbone.
After Arden finds Julia close to his farm near death he takes her in to care for her. Which anyone that has read a romance book can see that the two will start having feelings for each other.
But what I really enjoyed was the plot about how the US is plagued with an end of the world situation when an electronic pulse hits taking out everything electronic. No water, lights, heat, cars, etc. That’s why Julia was near death when Adren found her. She, like many others, was running to a save place and hiding from raiders that was killing people for their food and weapons.
Once Julia is back on her feet the attraction between her and Arden starts heating up. Then enters Ben, Arden’s best friend, who is returning home to the farm next door when he sees Julia and starts lusting after her too.
Saved by One, Shared by Two has a great mix of action, suspense, romance and smuttiness. There is so much love and lose in this book that I was on an emotional roller coaster. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a great story with their smut.

An electromagnetic pulse has been detonated making everything stop working, people don't know hoe to deal with this and things start to go bad. People doing what every they can to survive, no matter what it is. Julia and her brother thought this would happen and they were prepared but when Julia tried to get to her brother she collapsed at the side of the road and was found by one hunk of a guy called Arden, Arden takes Julia home and nurses her back to health and things look as if the pair might form a bond because Arden decides he really likes her BUT his friend turns up on the seane and he all so decides he likes Julia, so here we get our triangle.Or do we. no both of our hunks decide there there friendship is to great to spoil and decide to share Julia, thats if she will go for the idea.
Over all view. Well i have to say I knew I would love this book. I love the Romance and im going to be truthful and tell you I love the sexiness of this book. I loved that Syliva took the end of the world idea done so many times and made it her own and put her own little spin on it. If you talked to any one who knows me, they would tell you that I like the leading lady to be strong and I think we got this with this book. I think anyone who likes erotica books should give this book a try because the sex seanes are really good and make you hot lol. I really think this book is worth reading everybody so please give it a try.

First time i really listen to an audio book, took a little getting use to but i ended up loving it. Saved by One, Shared by Two was definite a different book. Dated in more recent times you learn what would happen if a catastrophe returned us to olden pre-electricity time. Julie such a strong character falls upon Arden on her way to find her brother and developed as a person, women and human.
I love how Julie is strong but still flawed, she's a realistic person who worked through her own emotions to be happy. Ben and Arden, childhood best friends grow as they deal with the loss of love ones and the love of a good women. The narrator was able to portray the feeling of all three main characters while trailing through the life Julie, Arden and Ben create for themselves.
I enjoy the trials and tribulations in saved by one, i didn't expect the base story to be so compelling and take a piece of my heart while still having some hot scenes. I feel like Julie, Arden and Ben are friends now and I'm so proud of what they accomplished when the world was against them.

2.5 stars.
Hoo boy.
I thought this book had a shot at good given the characters and their tenderness for each other. And the unusual plot line and setting, which is a sort of post apocalypse U.S. I can even see the threesome being a unique solution in that context. But it feels as though the author sorta disengaged from her story about three-quarters into it. Multiple plot twists were just...over, without any real explanation. The end just appeared without any real conclusion.
The sex scenes were the best writing in the book but they weren't enough to make the book work on that level, either.
Hoo boy oh boy.
NEXT!

What an intriguing story of love and survival. The characters were well developed and I found myself caring deeply for all three main characters! The side characters were also well developed; a couple of scenes had me close to tears.
The sexual dynamics between the three was believable and did not seem 'forced' (as I have found in a number of other ménage books I have read).
This story had a perfect balance of plot and sex for me, and the sex scenes were hot hot hot. I don't normally care for double penetration but the way the scene was written in this book was very erotic, IMO!!
I am glad these three got there HEA, the ending with beautiful :)

This is a menage book that was not predominately about sex, it was there but as part of the story and not the reason as most books of this type are. I enjoy that type of book a lot and the only reason this is not one of my favorites is because Julia, the main character lacks even the tiniest bit of common sense and it is only by a multitude of miracles, otherwise known as the writer's will, that she survived. Her actions do not fit her character as a strong woman who is in charge except as a sexual submissive.

I couldn't imagine if the world lost all power and we forced to live like scavengers, with a chance of little happily ever after, but in this story we find that you can truly be happy with having nothing at all. I thought this was a great story, and deserves this type of rating even though story was a short one, It still lacked some ear bender and could have ended a little differently then it did

I really liked this book. It wasn't as formulaic as most menage books I've read, which is good. I also liked the characters and the sweet ending. I'm a total sucker for HEAs, especially those that are done right like this one. I'm hoping for stories for some of the secondary characters. Oh yeah, and as for the sex scenes - holy hotness! Whew!

This was a 3 1/2 for me, but rounded up for the good writing. The story would build very well with great characterization and then every time something would happen it would be solved within 2 pages and we would be back to the day to day.

Wow this book made you really think what if! How would you survive if it happened. Loved it, hope there is a sequel.

Interesting mix of genres. It was erotic and loving. It has a post apocalyptic feel to it. But was still tender in places.
Very good book.

Being a lover of dystopian and menage books. This one was really good. Funny with a few good pop culture references I don't think this Author has written a lot of books but I hope to read more by her.
