Why read it?

1 author picked Beyond Shame as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The first book in this series takes us on a thrilling ride in a post-apocalyptic world. The romance is steamy, so if that’s not your thing, no worries, but I love a good spicy romance so I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. Rocha does a great job of balancing the sci-fi elements along with the romance, satisfying my love of both science and romance!

From Rebecca's list on The best books for fellow science dorks.
