Lennox used to live in a paradise on earth with his best friend Jamie, in a place where visitors came and went, allowing their desires to run free. But everything changes when a deadly attack forces them to take up with Connor Mackenzie’s band of Outlaws. Lennox knows Jamie is hung up on someone else, but he’s always believed he’s the man for her—and won’t let her go without a fight.
Even though Jamie is well aware that Lennox is one hot specimen of a man, she refuses to let sex ruin the most important relationship in her life. But when the object of her interest spurns her, she indulges in a little pleasure-filled revenge with her very magnetic, very willing best friend. One thrilling night with Lennox is enough to awaken Jamie’s unexpected desires for him. And now that she’s had a taste, she’s not sure she can ever give him up...

Review

I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did the first book. However, I think this is a solid sequel to the general series arc. Also, I’ve been introduced to both Lennox and Jamie in the first book, and Hudson even hinted at the more-than-platonic feelings that Lennox had for Jamie that Jamie had for Rylan. I had fun reading about how these two best friends who’ve known each other their whole lives moved on from being friends who’ve never been sexual to each other to being two people who could not get enough of each other in the bedroom.

I liked Jamie’s jealous streak. I mean, it was obvious from the get-go that Lennox was in love with her and protective of her. However, when she got jealous of Reese, it showed that Jamie’s feelings for him is actually already more than just deep friendship. There are some minor things that I found were anti-climactic to the individual story, but was a turning point in the general series plot.

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.
