All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond - beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman's daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.

The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal-men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four's ruthless leader, and he'll defend the O'Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.

Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they're crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she'll have to open herself to the gang, and to a world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

I really enjoyed this book, both to read and listen. I just love Jasper. He is just such a great guy. He is the tough guy who is one of the enforcers for the O'Kanes. Dallas O'Kane is the leader of the O'Kanes and runs Sector Four. I love the idea of the full forearm tattoos of all the gang members. Noelle is very sweet. I love the dynamic between her and Jasper. She is also great with Lex. Lex is a great character. She is very tough and independent.

The sex is hot, the characters are amazing. I really love this world. I read this in less than 24 hours. It is quite a page turner, I highly recommend it.

I absolutely love this series. It’s a gang yes, but really more of a family that kicks ass together. Men and women have rolls to play in the gang both equally important. This is the first book of the series, but still one of my favorites. I really wish audible would get more than the 5 or 6 they have. I still recommend the series even with the last few missing. It’s a new idea on how the world would look after the end of ours.

Wonderful start to an amazing series!

so, I dont even know quite where to begin with this book. I guess I'll start out with Lucy Malone, she is a great narrator and I loved her performance. So, like 75% of the novel I would say is group sex, or Jasper relentlessly teasing Noelle. The amount of group sex made it very hard to connect with the characters, I often found myself questioning if it was really a book about Noelle and Lex falling in love. Everytime i thought i finally understood Jaspers reluctance to make their relationship more he does something or more likely doesnt do something that made me confused all over again. The more I think as I'm typing the more I realize how much I dislike his character. For a supposedly dominant man he had no problem letting Lex and the leader deal with all problems concerning noelle when things got intense. I was expecting more action out of a futuristic story like this but was also disappointed on that front. I could go on but I that would be really jumping into spoiler territory, all in all I'm confused because I strongly disliked the Male character or rather was disappointed in him and the over all delivery of the plot. On the other hand I couldn't stop listening to it, and found myself slightly fascinated by the dynamics of the characters, and their weird rules and practices on sex. anyways, I've ranted long enough. I'll reserve my complete judgement till I read the next in series! For now, 3 stars!

I came for the 🌶️ but found myself so intrigued I wished for more plot! That’s crazy to me because I was expecting very little out of this series but it just goes to show how amazing the writing and storytelling is. The 4 star rating isn’t fair in my opinion it should be at least 4.8! This book is heavy on 🌶️ it’s true. Total book corn but it was written well. I mean I craved more plot, PLOT! It’s proof enough. For a credit free spicy read this was a golden find. I don’t know how you’ll listen to this in public but I say do it. Do it. DO it.

Great free Read- Do It!

Very good sexual writing but not enough back story to make it a fantastic book.
