Post-Apocalyptic Romance
From Goodreads:
With
nothing but rumors to lead her, Lynn Harmony has trekked across a nightmare
landscape to find one man—a mysterious, damaged legend who protects the weak
and leads the strong. He’s more than muscle and firepower—and in post-plague
L.A., he’s her only hope. As the one woman who could cure the disease, Lynn is
the single most volatile—and vulnerable—creature in this new and ruthless
world. But face to face with Jax Mercury…
Danger has never looked quite
so delicious.
There is a lot to like in
Mercury Striking. Both Lynn
Harmony and Jax Mercury are very strong main characters and an equally strong
cast of secondary characters supports them. The plot revolves around a plague that has killed many and
changed those that survived. There
is no cure but there is a supplement that keeps the illness at bay.
This is a romance. The interaction between Mercury and
Lynn is used to do both the world building and tell the back story. The plot features the struggle to stay
alive and to keep Lynn safe. She
is on the run from a man from her past who will go to any lengths to get her
back under his control.
There is the hint of a
solution to the illness and the hooks for future stories and romances in the
series. While Mercury and Lynn get
their HEA there are still many problems left as the book ends. Mercury Striking is a
interesting start to a new series full of interesting possibilities for future
books.
