About this ebook

The stakes are high—and the passions are higher—in the New York Times bestselling author’s sexy post-apocalyptic thriller.

Before surviving the Scorpius bacterium, Tace Justice was a good ole Texas cowboy who served his country and loved his mama. After Scorpius, the world became dark, dangerous, and deadly—and so did he. The Vanguard medic is stronger, faster, and smarter than before, but he’s lost the line between right and wrong. His passion is absolute, and when he focuses it on one woman, there’s no turning back for either of them…

Sami Steel has been fighting to survive right alongside Tace, convincing the Vanguard soldiers she’s one of them. In truth, Sami is a former hacker turned government agent who worked at The Bunker, where scientists stored both contaminants and cures. Only she knows the location, and she’s not telling. Yet when passion explodes between her and Tace, she’ll do anything it takes to save him.

Ratings and reviews

Another thrilling chapter in the apocalyptic world were the Scorpius virus has killed off 99% of the population. I think I liked this story more than the others because now we have two established couples along with the “new” couple the book is about plus the addition of the Mercenaries who get more page time along with finally learning more about the Bunkers that have been talked about in all the previous books. Tace Justice and Sami Steel are characters that we've known since the first book. Tace we've known both before and after he contracted the virus. Before he was the good ole boy from Texas with a wicked sense of humor. Since surviving it his thoughts have become darker and his obsessions rampant, with his biggest being his attraction to Sami. Turns out Sami has been hiding some pretty big secrets about her past and her knowledge of the location of the Bunkers. She is pretty kick ass and as tough as the guys and her past of hacking for the government just ups her coolness. I was happy that things moved along knowledge wise in finding out what went on in the Bunkers and the huge surprise that we learned in them. I hope there are many more books to come as I would love to have Greyson and Maureen's story along with the surprise couple we met in this book. Plus there are still plenty of loose ends still rolling around that need to be tied up.

I believe this is my favorite so far. Action, sex, and heart pounding. Sami is a strong woman with serious fighting skills and Tace is a sexy Texan. Sami is keeping secrets. She's told everyone she was a rookie with LAPD. When they go to Merc territory, one of them was in LAPD and threatens to out her. Her and Tace are there to spy a little and help the wounded. They decide to have the two days they are there to sleep with each other and then go back to friends. Tace is Texan who was infected with Scorpius. He is darker than before and is having some symptoms that are worrisome. But one time with Sami is not enough. When he almost dies, Sami confesses to knowing the location of the infamous Bunker. Can they save Tace or will she lose the man she loves? I cannot wait for the next story. Rebecca Zanetti's makes her characters come to life. It's almost as if you're right there with them. *RECEIVED A COPY FROM NETGALLEY. I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED THIS BOOK*
