Sunday Spotlight is a feature we began in 2016. This year we’re spotlighting our favorite books, old and new. We’ll be raving about the books we love and being total fangirls. You’ve been warned. 🙂
I am loving dystopian romance right now. There are several authors that write it and Rebecca Zanetti is one of my favorites. I’ve been waiting for Grey and Moe’s book for awhile and I know it won’t disappoint. If you are wanting to give the post-apocalyptic world a try, you won’t go wrong with the Scorpius Syndrome series! Isn’t the cover hot?
Storm Gathering by Rebecca Zanetti
Series: Scorpius Syndrome
Genres: Dystopian/Post-Apocalpyse Romance
Release Date: September 19, 2017
Publisher: RAZ INK LLC
Even before surviving the Scorpius bacterium, Greyson Storm was a lone wolf navigating minefields. As a kid, he learned to take a hit and find safety. As an adult, he joined the military and quickly learned how to protect and defend. When the world ended, he created a mercenary camp with military precision, no entanglements, and a promise to avenge a fallen friend. As part of that vow, he kidnapped Maureen Shadow, but now that he has let her go, her blue eyes and intriguing mind keep haunting him…
As possibly the only Biotechnology Engineer still living, Maureen Shadow might be humanity’s one hope to survive the aftermath of Scorpius, making her frighteningly valuable to both allies and enemies. Even after sexual tension explodes with Greyson, she’s not sure which camp he belongs to—friend or foe? Worse yet, survival may mean thwarting his prime mission, putting her in even more peril. When danger and seduction collide, there is no safety in this new world.

Excerpt
Clouds covered the moon and threw rain onto the sand, but the chill was serving to finally focus Greyson. He made it to the deck before he noticed that Moe’s outside doors were open. Soft candlelight filtered outside. What the hell?
He paused.
She stood in the doorway, watching the storm pummel the ocean. The candles lit her from behind, making her hair glow. Those blue eyes cut through the darkness somehow.
He moved for her, unable to stop himself. “Your doors should be closed.”
She jumped and then pivoted. “Greyson.”
Was that relief in her voice? He stepped closer. “Did you hear me?”
She crossed her arms. “I’m not deaf.” Her voice slurred a little.
“Okay.” He wanted her to smile again like she’d done the other day. Just once. “I’m sorry I had to kidnap you.”
She huffed out air. “You didn’t have to do anything.”
Yeah, that was true. “You look like an angel with the candles behind you.”
She swayed. “Greyson.”
Man, his brain was screwed up. Too much booze and fighting. So he reached for the door. “Go inside, Moe. I’ll lock up.”
“No.” She pushed at him.
No? He didn’t move. “Yes.”
She stepped into him. “You like me.”
The scent of wild bluebells covered him, tempting him. His body went from zero to a hundred in a second flat, and his cock woke up like it had a place to go. “I do like you,” he mumbled, wishing she’d stop splitting into two people in front of his eyes.
She ran her hands up his chest. “I don’t want to like you.”
“Don’t blame you.” Her hands created too much warmth. Man, he wanted to be warm. Step back. He really needed to step back.
She leaned up and nibbled beneath his chin.
Desire cut through him with a painful sharpness. “We can’t.”
“I know,” she whispered, pressing her full breasts against his chest. “Kiss me, just once.”
He couldn’t say no. So he lowered his mouth, taking hers. Sweetness. She made a sound, one he’d never forget, in the back of her throat. Then she kissed him back.
At that point, he was lost. Completely.
Greyson. sigh

About the Author
Rebecca Zanetti is the author of over twenty-five romantic suspense, dark paranormals, and contemporary romances, and her books have appeared multiple times on the New York Times, USA Today, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iBooks bestseller lists. She lives in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest with her own Alpha hero, two kids, a couple of dogs, a crazy cat…and a huge extended family. She believes strongly in luck, karma, and working her butt off…and she thinks one of the best things about being an author, unlike the lawyer she used to be, is that she can let the crazy out.
Storm Gathering does sound like a fun read! Thanks for posting the excerpt.
Storm Gathering is definitely on my list! Who isn’t looking forward to Duke of Desire the last Maiden Lane novel? (Of course, there is also the sadness that it is the last one….) Then there is: Joanna Shupe’s A Daring Arrangement; Janna MacGregor’s The Bride Who Got Lucky; C.L. Wilson’s The Sea King; Vanessa Kelly’s The Highlander’s Princess Bride; Eloisa James’ Wilde in Love; Karen Raney’s The Texas Duke; and that’s not counting the ones already out….. I think I need to take some time off work just to read!
Most of All You by Mia Sheridan
I finished Most of All You by Mia Sheridan and will read Elizabeth Hoyt and Julie Garwood.
