Review: Flesh by Kylie Scott

 15845945

Ali has been hiding in an attic since civilisation collapsed eight weeks ago.

When the plague hit, her neighbours turned into mindless, hungry, homicidal maniacs.

Daniel has been a loner his entire life. Then the world empties and he realises that being alone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Finn is a former cop who is desperate for companionship, and willing to do anything it takes to protect the survivors around him.

When the three cross paths they band together; sparks fly, romance blooms in the wasteland and Ali, Daniel and Finn bend to their very human needs in the ruins of civilisation.

Lust, love and trust all come under fire in Flesh as the three band together to survive, hunted through the suburban wastelands.

My Review:

 So normally when you think erotica or just a steamy romance you wouldn't think to add zombies right? But this was really well done. Yes it was a zombie apocalypse or whatnot but they weren't at all the main focus of the story. It was definitely a character driven story about how much society and social graces can change when the world falls apart.
 So anyways my point being is that connections can be made much faster than we would normally consider. When Dan found Ali it was instant want and love for him. He basically strong-holded Ali into staying with him and didn't give her much of a choice. He was so desperate for a human connection and a female at that. I didn't like it at first how easily Ali gave in to him but I can understand how it can happen when you have no other choice. Then along comes Finn who also falls for her very fast. They all band together and Dan and Finn come to an understanding that all that matters is keeping Ali safe. She in turn falls for them both even though she thinks its wrong but the worlds changed so social norm have gone out the window.
  The sex in this was VERY hot! It is mostly M/F but there was some M/F/M but it was well written and it wasn't M/M which I know some people don't get into. So if your looking for a good steamy post-apocalyptic romance this one could be for you.
3.5/5*
