Normally, I wouldn’t go for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi romance. But if I’d let that stop me from picking up Lust for Tomorrow by Dana Sweeney, I would still be living in a world where I hadn’t read it yet, and that would be a travesty. 

 

I don’t even know where to start. This book was hot as hell, yes, but it was also a vulnerable romance alongside a social commentary of the world Sweeney created. Nina’s reluctance to allow herself to fall in love given what that means in The Stronghold makes all of the sense in the world. It’s truly complex and not an easy decision to make. I look forward to seeing how things in The Stronghold change in future books in the series. 

 

And also the spice was top tier, imho. The Dom/sub relationship between Tom/Alpha and Nina was believable. And Tom’s care and attention to Nina made him one of my favorite MMCs from the books I’ve read recently.
