Almost three years ago now, the world as we all knew it ended.But my life didn’t.When news came about of the virus that would eventually take out billions, I hopped on my bike and headed into the mountains of Montana to hide. That’s where I’ve been ever since, alone in this abandoned town.Until one day, from seemingly out of nowhere, a beautiful man literally stumbled outside my doorstep. He was … outside my doorstep. He was weak, vulnerable, and needed protection. Needed shelter. He was a victim of horrible experiments, imprisoned by the same “people” that caused the virus to being with, forced to endure agony I could never fathom.
Until now.
He needed me to keep him safe.
I needed him to remember that life is still worth living.
In the end, he and I will prove that love is the only thing left that matters.

This book is amazingly well written. So it starts off with giving you an update of what happened and where Zeke is now. Then Niam shows up and Zeke has the urge to help him and protect. Why does Niam need protection? What is wrong with Niam? Zeke can tell something is wrong but wants to be able to help him any way he can. Also Zeke is attracted to Niam. So will Niam accept his help? With everything that is going on these two still manage to help each other. With all these questions you do get answers. I got sucked in this story after the first chapter and could not out the book down. I can never get into a dystopian book, but this story just flowed and developed with the characters. I loved every word and cannot wait to read the next book.
From start to end this had me spellbound. I know the timing of this book is probably not the best, but I loved it so much. The connection between the main characters was heartwarming and just amazing. Twists and turns in the plot were great and I can’t wait for the next book in the story!
The book is based on a very interesting idea of the universe and the world building is very well done, sucking the reader into the reality created with very well crafted words! That’s just step one though, becuase then comes interesting plot and characters that are the cherry on the cake. Really good book and opening of a series!
Wow! Sariah has done it AGAIN!! I love her stories! This is so rich and full. A rollercoaster of emotions and life – as real life usually is!! Rich in love with an awesome background story. You won’t be disappointed!
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in Sariah Skye’s MM omegaverse series! I read this in the anthology and was happy to see it become a book and that we were getting more afterwards!
I read so much MM and took a break from omegaverse but loved coming back to it with this book. I thought the characters were engaging and the situation was depressing but they found the light in it all. It kinda sucks that the timing with the real world and this book collide (I read it differently this second go around because of how our lives our now and I think it put it in more perspective and made it more real/dark for me. I enjoyed it more then 2nd go around to be honest).
I think the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because there are a couple of lull moments/repetitive parts, so it took me out of the story a little bit. Besides that, it was a wonderful read and I cannot wait for more. I love these guys, and how they explored their feelings and relationship (daaaang some of these scenes made me put my book down and wait until I was alone so my face wasn’t so red haha). Again, really enjoyed it, definitely recommend it
This is the first book in a new series, and I found it interesting and well written. Ezekiel and Niam are both great characters. This book focuses mostly on how Niam comes into Zeke’s life, as Zeke is tucked away in a small mountain town after an illness sweeps across Earth, killing most of the population. Nial and Zeke are immediately drawn together, and they basically can’t stop having sex. That part gets a little repetitive, but it happens to build our understanding of things that will come later. And when we move to the second part of the story, which is action packed and exciting, I couldn’t look away. Total page-turner! I enjoyed this first part of the bigger story, and I can’t wait for the next book. I am excited to see Nial and Zeke work with their new friends to save the world.
I’ve always LOVED Omegaverse stories and seeing Sariah write one made me wanna hop on the metaphorical train and read it ASAP! Holy was I not disappointed!
I must say since this is an apocalyptic type story, it is a strange time to be reading it. But nevertheless makes the story a tad more relatable, and even more exciting, since, you know, we’re sitting at home and all. Kinda makes me want to follow Zeke’s example and find my own little mountain to claim.
Zeke and Niam are wonderful characters and I love the chemistry between them! That ending left me begging for more, and I absolutely cannot wait for Destined to come out! Add this to your TBR now people!
What a fun, satisfying read during these current times. What’s not to like? After all there’s adventure, something has taken over the world, deception, secrets, love, possible allies, and many, many questions. At the center is Zeke, a muscular guy that used to work as a bouncer. He managed to somehow escape the craziness when the aliens arrived by staying high up in the country in a cabin. So imagine his shock one day when a terrified, underfed young man stumbles into his yard desperate for help. So ends his one on one existence, and opens an entirely new world. Will.it be welcome,.or a complete disaster? You’ll have to read to find out
I loved this sci-fi romance! Set in a post apocalyptic world, due to a pandemic disease. Sariah wrote this book sometime ago, but so fitting for our time now! Zeke, a man living in the mountains that did not succumb to the disease, has a pretty good life there. Grows his own food, hunts, and scrounges anything else he might need. He sees the odd person once in awhile, but most are not friendly, so he stays clear most of the time until Niam. Niam stumbles onto his area road one day being pursued by an otherworldly looking craft. Something in Zeke tells him to help Niam and this leads to opening up all kinds of feelings. There are lots of steamy scenes and we find out what is going on the world, why the pandemic occurred, and who is involved . Can’t wait for the next book for the rest of the answers! Yes, I recommend this book. This book is not erotica as marked.
I didn’t know what to expect with this one as I was warned it was a bit different – MM/dystopian/sci fi/omegaverse – and I’m like, no idea what omegaverse is, but I like Sariah Skye’s books so I’ll give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised. It took me a few chapters to get into it. The story started with a little scene setting. But once I got into it I was hooked. After most of the world has been taken out by a virus, Niam lands on Zeke’s doorstep and Zeke feels a strong desire to protect him. Neither of them know where these feelings have come from or what they mean. This was quite a different genre for me and I really enjoyed it. Sexy scenes, which sometimes I can find to be a bit much, really worked for this book. Can’t wait for the next book from Niam’s point of view.
Sheltered by Sariah Skye is the first book of the series The End And The Beginning. This Dystopian novel mixes fascinating sci-fi with sweet and sexy romance. The characters are interesting and the new world created on these pages stole my attention and now I need to know more about it all. Great world building, well written storyline, fantastic characters… I am looking forward to further books that continue this journey. Loved it!
No spoilers of any kind included!
I absolutely loved Sheltered!
It sucked me in from the very first page and it would not release me until I got to the end of the story.
Where I was left wanting and needing more of Zeke and Niam’s story, which I definitely can not wait until Destined is here!
Sariah Skye is an amazing talented story weaver, she knows how to completely hook her readers and take them on a wild exciting ride whether it be RH, MF or MM, she just knows how to ensnare her readers and keep them coming back for more!
So it’s most definitely going to be a big HECK FREAKIN YEAH I do recommend Sheltered!!
Because I loved it and I can honestly guarantee you will too!
Beautiful story with a unique plot ! I really enjoyed getting to know Niam and Zeke as well as all the other characters in this story! The storyline is very different from what I’m used to but i enjoyed it none the less and I cannot wait for part 2!
So the apocalypse happened…now Zeke just lives his life on his own, offering outside and rationing his trips into what’s left of civilization. Then he hears a strange sound–and everything he thought he knew about the world is thrown into question.
Love the layers in this world, and the steamy romance between these men. Can’t wait to uncover more of their pasts and reveal what’s next in their futures.
Wow. I just love the expanded version of this story. There characters are so realistic, and they take you on an emotional journey. I can’t wait for more!
