After a devastating war decimated most of the world, Hudson Lane has only known the oppressive life under her own father’s tyranny. She finally escapes, branding herself an outlaw and hunted by the Enforcers. Her best chance at survival is Connor Mackenzie, an aggressively sensual fugitive who opens her eyes to the wicked possibilities of a world without rules.
As the leader of a band of outlaw fighters, Connor can’t resist the beautiful stranger who asks for his protection. Despite his reservations, he agrees to introduce her to a whole new way of life. But when Connor discovers Hudson’s connection to the enemies of liberty, he wonders how far he can trust the woman who has abandoned all inhibitions to challenge every forbidden desire.
Review
I loved Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus series, so I dove into this one expecting another great time. I made a point to read the entire series before posting my review for each book, so here it goes. As far as post apocalyptic setting was involved, it was okay. The conflict and the reason for the new world was created well. I could just imagine a global council who controlled everything. I could also just imagine how there were always going to be people or outlaws who will repel the new world and its new laws.
I liked this first book because it gets the reader interested enough to know what happens next, so, like me, they’re going to get the next book because they want to know what happens to the outlaws over time. I enjoyed just how hot and sexy this book was. Seriously. There’s some serious sexing going on in the book, I tell you. Anyway, I kind of liked this book and because of that, I readily moved on to the second book. However, I would say that out of three released books for this series, so far, this one is probably the best it can go.
