About The Book:  Kaori Carnelian was only sixteen when Los Angeles was hit by an
earthquake that devastated it. With the world trying to recover from a plague that has wiped out half of the population, she learns how to survive by her wits and a great ability to hide, scavenging through what is left of LA. Years later, the government sends in recon  men, Sergeants Tobias Noble and Orion West to find any survivors before another earthquake destroys everything. They find her pleasuring herself and instantly both want her. Her world spirals out of control in a very delicious way. But when the men have to go find two others in their regiment that are missing, Kaori has to decide if her love outweighs her instinct for surviving.

The Review:   I had not previously read Beth D. Carter's work, but her believable (and sexy) writing has put her on my favorites list. She paints a picture of a life very different from ours today, and makes you feel as if you're there. The characters pull you in, as Kaori did when she shows you how she survived for so many years, and as Noble and Orion did when they teach her what love is about. The love the characters feel is pure, unmarred by jealousy in a believable way, and the sex is hot, hot, hot. The story moves quickly as the men work to save as many people as they can, and protect Kaori at the same time. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it ended. I wanted to read more!  This book is a must-read, and a Top Reviewers Pick for me. 

Pagan Elements:   None.

Cover (Rated 1-10): 9.  The cover effectively shows us what LA looks like in the book, as well as gives us a picture of the three main characters in the book. It's also kid-friendly, if the book happens to be lying on the coffee table.
