Bitter Harvest

By: Kim Knox

Narrated by: Shannon Gunn

It's 2050, and humans are an endangered species. Lieutenant Robert Sutton has survived the collapse of civilization by luck, his wits, and a chance mutation that makes him immune to the nanovirus that has wiped out millions. Now, his compound of survivors is surrounded by the infected, who are driven by the need to spread the contagion through sex. It is only a matter of time before they attack. So when Sutton is assigned to interrogate a prisoner who claims to have overcome the infection, he immediately suspects a trap....

Nicholas Rider may have survived the virus, but he's a changed man, ruled by his desires. But his need for Sutton is different. Rider craves an end to his overwhelming needs, and Sutton could be the man to do it.

Secure in his belief that he's invulnerable, Sutton can't understand or resist his intense attraction to his prisoner. Will Rider be his downfall - or his savior?

Narrator makes is worth buying

This is one of those books where the audio version is much better than the written. The narrator is fantastic (Shannon Gunn) and brings a mediocre story to life In a brilliant sexy way. His voice is like black velvet as he spins the tale. This is a short story told from the middle of a post apocalyptic event; but there is no beginning or ending really. Too bad really, I would have been curious about the "save the bees" story arc, but there is no follow through. There is a whole lot of sex going on in ridiculously inappropriate times and places. It is almost funny. But that said, it wasn't painful to listen to, especially with Shannon Gunn. I'm use to him in the Men of Smithfield narrations, but in this one he may give Jack LeFleur a run.

It is worth a listen if it is on sale.

Interesting story with a good narrator

I can't for the life of me figure out what previous reviewers were looking for in this book. So, because the book is so short, I listened to the book again, and still didn't get it. It is almost as if they wanted to read/hear a longer book, though it was clear that it’s only three hours long. For me this book was well written, and well read, with lots of action and character development. Obviously the character development is on the thin side, but knowing that the story is so short you expect that, right. I mean you won't be able to fully flesh out a character in 94 pages, so why judge so harshly. I found the book engaging and engrossing, and I think that that is because I wasn't expecting the author to write the next Lord of the Rings.

Wow

Great story. 2 sexy alphas finding true love in the worst of times. Shannon Gunn...AWESOME!

Great Narrator and Decent Book

I have enjoyed this and several other titles by Kim Knox. Her hallmark of the big tease and original paranormal settings mesh really well with the romance at the heart of the story. This is a novella - not too short and of a good enough length to get into the characters. Very graphic but very enjoyable.

Pretty Good Sci Fi

Enjoyable MM sci fi mash up. I enjoyed the match up here. The sex scenes were amazing and the plot strong, good narration.
