In a lonely, plague-devastated world, it is definitely not every man for himself.
Seventeen years after the Crux Virus wiped out most of the world’s population, Ross is doing what he can to keep his small community safe from raiders in a self-contained artist retreat in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. He’s made a habit of collecting survivors and they’ve all become family, but the most important members have always been Jenna and Dorian.
At fourteen, Ross stumbled into the basement where the nine-year-olds were hiding and the three have been together ever since. Years later, Jenna and Dorian became lovers. Now, at thirty, Ross hopes to find a love of his own on supply runs, but he suffers incredible guilt because his heart has long been snagged by his two best friends.
Alone with his tangled emotions, Ross is about to discover that his friends have their own ideas about their relationship…and how it is about to change.
Warning: An unfortunate stabbing leads to fortunate liaisons, including M/F/M, M/M, M/F...and whatever else these apocalyptic survivors can do with each other during those long winter months in the snowy mountains.

3.5 stars . . .
i most enjoyed this and look forward to the next installment
what i liked . . .
first in a new series . . .lots of world building and character building. it worked. i bought into the entire post-apocalyptic setting.
i bought into the whole gritty and dark survival mode for each of the characters and their 'family'. i was saddened by the harsh reality of the world the author created.
the development of the m-m-f relationship worked for me :) not just from the erotic stance, but also as a relationship. the female character wasn't irritating to me as many can in m/f erotica . . .
the comic relief from interactions with other characters was a welcomed surprise.
what didn't work for me . . .
the ending . . .my nook said there were at least 30 pages left when the story just ended . . . it was a bit of a let down. i was not interested in the short story or ads included at the end of the novella . . . i recognize this is a series and the next installment is coming, but the ending was still most abrupt.
