I have not" Edge of Temptation" , is a dystopian romance, now I will admit that I am not a huge dystopian fan, however the blurb caught my attention! I have not read the first story. I was however able to pick up on societal changes and the overwhelming cause of them. In the end however this is Gunner and Mauds story. Gunner is alarge strong raider from a raider clan on the eastern Islands, he has been searching for a virgin to perform a black magic ritual in an attempt to bring back his mate Audra. Gunners search draws him to the red desert and the home of the church's convents with the intentions of abducting a nun. Maud is a novice, purchased by the church from her mother and uncle for the price of some coats and goods when she was ten , she has spent ten years at the hands of the nuns and the bishop being punished for her non compliance and isnowfacing he final trials before becoming a nun, withhthe possibility of failure. And being banished to the desert to die, she finds herself walking off and away from the convent ; at least if she dies it will because she chose to walk off not because she was sent away. Maid walks directly Ito the path of this stron warrior Gunner but finds herself feeling safe for the first time in years in his presence. Maud may be a virgin novice but she cages this big bad raider off guard by introducing herself in an interesting manner, she drops to her knees and has Gunner in her mouth in no time. Makes you wonder what else the church has been teaching her. These two fit together well, maud brings out Gunner's dominance and after a year of being without his mate and focused on one thing only she unwittingly has Gunner questioning his determination to sacrifice her to get back his mate, Maud is turning out to be wonderful fit for him. Maud 's natural submissiveness and like for pain is a perfect fit for his Dominance. To spite their easy and perfect fit Gunner still pushes toward her inevitable sacrifice, but will his raider brother stop him? Will his king of his clan , his own blood brother Wulf stop him? Will maud continue to follow and submit to Gunner till the very end? I had to admit, the author has painted an interesting picture of a future earth, flooded by never ending rain storms, broken into separate factions , each one trying to survive .
