He admits that he’s some sort of government experiment, a genetic mutant with super strength. They have sex, and it’s explosive, but she realizes that he’s not like a regular man. There’s something strange about him, but he’s handsome and kind. She has a hard life as a waitress in a diner. Carmen names their son after him.Ĭarmen eventually recovers from the loss. A few weeks later, he’s killed in a suspicious accident. When she gets pregnant, he promises to marry her and take her away from Santa Olivia. She falls in love with a soldier-boxer named Tom. The beginning of this book is unique in that the main character, Loup, isn’t introduced right away. So far, the townsmen have lost every match. The prize for winners is two tickets out. Each year, a citizen of Santa Olivia challenges the military champion. The general who runs the town enjoys a good boxing match. Now it’s a military zone, patrolled by armed soldiers. Due to war, famine, and civil unrest, it was cordoned off. Santa Olivia is a small town on the border of the US and Mexico. The author delivers strong characters, a sweet romance, and a fascinating dystopian world. When I saw it at my local library, I snatched it up. This was recommended multiple times in a thread at Smart Bitches. Jill Sorenson is back with another review!
