The lights went out. It wasn’t your run of the mill blackout. It was the final step in a series of carefully orchestrated occurrences that crashed communication satellites, GPS, internet connections and anything containing a computer chip. In just a few days all of the conveniences that modern society relied upon to get through life were gone and the world was thrust backward in time inciting … time inciting a power struggle of epic proportions.
Lotus McClean found herself stranded in the mountains of Virginia when the world went black. When everyone around her panicked, Lotus knew what needed to be done. After all, she grew up completely off the grid, on the family farm where free-love was the norm and marajuana was the cash crop.
Standing strong on her own, loneliness and vulnerability keep her away from people and in the safety of the old Mountain Inn that she calls home. Three very different men from different walks of life seek refuge in the motel and in her bed.
Can they survive and thrive in a harsh new world?

I don’t even know how to describe how much I enjoyed this book. It was a very different read for me, outside of my normal box and has left me asking myself why I don’t read more dystopian fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover.
An interesting story line, full of interesting survivalist moments, a main female character with a back story that guides all other characters, steamy moments shared between the characters, what isn’t there to love.
Thanks to Clairissa SinClair, I’ll be looking up more of your books to read.
This book hit so many levels for me that I am afraid this is going to be the longest review ever. I will try and keep as interesting as this book.
Right of the bat, it started a little slow for me but I love the detail the author built on how the world crashed. Lotus comes in and she is closed off from the world already, her past and how she grew up is really apart of who she is and she misses more than she knows. At first, it all about survivial. You have to feel the loniness of the character before you can get the book.
But she is not the only struggling to survive. All the main characters are in different part of the world and each of them will have their battle scars as they come together. Lotus gives them peace and completes them once more.
This is reverse harem with 3 male character and each of them, I fell in love with. That doesn’t always happen for me. But what is more surprising is how I felt when an attraction is born between two of the men. I don’t like that sort of thing but I knew this book had some of that in it going in. I like where the author took them and it didn’t overwelm me. I don’t want to give away what happens but I will say it left me wanting more.
There was one scene, that I didn’t care and that was the one with the deputy. I would have prefered to have read the story without but I am not going to count points off for it. Even in that moment, I felt the characters loneliness and need for human connection. Maybe she went about it the wrong way but it made her grow also, I feel.
All in all, this is one of the best books I have read this year. My focus is in indie authors and my reviews are always honest. Yes, I like to read the big names ever now and then but with new authors, I am always surprised by the twist in their books.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Reverse Harem but also to anyone who likes to see real character growth.
A very well crafted story that was enjoyable to read. I liked the whole uniqueness of this story. The lead character was fascinating and the storyline was creative. A wonderful story from a new author to me.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I love Lotus and want to be her when I grow up. She is strong knows how to survive at the end of the world. I loved her men too and how each one brings something to the relationship and they all complement each other. This is a great read.
This is my first book by this author and I was blown away. Im a survivor buff and I caught myself taking notes on some of the great information in this book. I love this heroine. I loved all the different scenarios each person survived. So many wonderful secondary characters. Just great! I cant say enough! I highly recommend.
Surviving the new world
—>>> Lotus was well equipped mentally and physically to deal with the fallout of the world as she knew it, taking care of those in need and being very pragmatic about how survive it all. When the men join her one by one, they complement her and her way of life. Very diverse characters and personalities in this story, who somehow all work well together, with Lotus at the nucleus.
I really liked this book! The characters are awesome and the storyline kept you reading until the very last words. Lotus is a fantastic FMC and I loved the guys! I would definitely recommend this book.
This was a very entertaining and wonderful story. I can’t wait to read the next story by this author.

Loved this book, I am not one for after the end of the world as we know it stories, but this on did it for me. I was hooked from the beginning and it just got better.
Lotus is the women I would want to be, if I had a do over.
Henry is amazing, Colt grows on once you under stand him. Bronson just has to accept who he is and not who he thinks he is.
If the end of the world as we know it happens my sister will make it and her kids because she is a bit like Lotus. Me I will have to get to my sister to make it.
A feel good must read. I almost didnt but so glad I did.
