As your world crumbles can anything bring you home

Ren Dyer is unlike any bodyguard. Andrea Fielding Home Secretary is who she is charged to protect. As their world brutaly and violently implodes. can Ren keep Andi safe? This end of the world story is scary, realisticly frightful and sometimes horrifyingly gross but with a romantic twist. Sarah Kempton brings complex characters to life. The dialogue has playful banter, totally hot wlw moments and dire conversations. I am not a end of the world reader but I loved this book and this listen was spectacular. Claire Highton Stevenson has book 2 in this series In Dyer Circumstances - The Final Chapter set to release Feb. 12. Listen to or read this book before then. Then see how the story continues!!!!!!

Excellent book

I started to read this book while all over the US there were riots, during the pandemic and boy, was it not the right time, but I could hardly put this book down to go to sleep.
On one hand this comes out from such an amazing imagination on the other seeing what is happening in the world you can actually see it happening.
I already have the sequel and I am going to listen to it right now...

Best lesbian romance novel

I have read so many lesbian novels but this one is AMAZING!! This would be a great movie

Loved it

This is a great listen. Sarah Kempton does a fantastic job with the narration and Claire's story is fantastic!

A really great listen!

The more I read or listen to Claire Highton-Stevenson's work, the more impressed I become. Granted, I've only read three so far (and have several more in the queue) but every one has been completely unique. I was immediately intrigued with this thriller set in Britain about a worldwide apocalyptic event. It's a really interesting premise, the two female MCs are strong and admirable, and there are a host of other characters that really add to the story. And although the book primarily deals with the effects and survival of the event, there is also a lovely (and hot) romance at the heart of it. I also discovered a new narrator in Sarah Kempton. Wow. She has an absolutely delicious English accent and a deep repertoire of voices and dialects for the various characters - both male and female. She doesn't just have a great voice - she performs it beautifully as well. I'm completely impressed with her and am very hopeful she'll do the follow-up. Highton-Stevenson is quickly becoming a go-to author for me. Highly recommend!

exciting story line with more to come

A thrilling storyline with a romance and great reader to match. Excited for the next book.

awesome

great story, great narration. Can't wait for the sequel. i can highly recommend this book.

Definitely something different!

I have totally enjoyed this book! Great intrigue, adventure and wonderful lesbian sex! What more could any girl want?
As I listened to the beautiful voice of the narrator she described a world gone mad. And while I stay in the isolation of Covid-19, it made me realize that indeed, it could be so much worse. Home is where the heart is and we can make our own future, no matter the hardships.
In this book there is pain and loss but also hope. I can't wait for the next chapter in these characters lives.

An incredible journey

I am a serious fan of Claire Highton-Stevenson and I applaud her for writing this novel.. The story line of this novel is not generally one I partake in. I am go grateful that I took the opportunity to experience this novel. I was amazed at how gripping and page turning it was. The whole scary but possible scenario that plays out here is engaging and scary. The amazing resilience of the characters makes this a 5 star book in my reading list. The characters are so well developed and believable. Sarah Kempton does an outstanding job of bringing the story to life with her narration. I am eager to read the next book in the series. If you're looking to stretch your reading world I would definitely recommend this read.

Grabbed me from the beginning!

What a story! I was totally hooked. It’s intense to imagine how one would survive if world as you know it is no more. I definitely would want REN and Andrea on my team. I loved the action, suspense and romance! The narration was superb! I definitely recommend.
