Previously published as Desperate Times: 1-4 Collected (an EMP apocalypse survival harem) by Lara X. Lust.

Dom’s life has never been easy.

He’s fought for everything he has. Forged in the fires of poverty and neglect, he’s spent years building a life for himself. And it seems like everything is finally coming together. He lives on his own in a decent house at the edge of town, he works for himself writing novels, he’s debt-free, and, most recently, his relationship with his hot best friend and her sexy friend seems to be heading somewhere a lot more fun....

But everything is about to change. When a solar flare slams the Earth with a worldwide EMP and knocks out power everywhere, Dom and the two women he cares about most will be forced to walk hundreds of miles through chaos to a safe location. It will take everything for them to survive.

While the book is not lacking in spicy content, it takes a while before the action starts. But I have to admit, I'm looking forward to the sequel.

A slow start

I was really hoping to like this story, but the Mary Sue self insert mc that's good at everything, and stiff and forced writing was a real letdown. the male narrator who read most of the story has an extremely wooden performance that makes him sound like a serial killer. Erin Bateman is as good as ever, but her russian accent needs some work.

wasted potential with a bad narrator

You know when you read the blurb about a book and go…hmmm, interesting? That’s what I thought until I listened to this audiobook. Interesting quickly turned into I can’t stop listening. The way the world turned chaotic and the need to escape the mass lawlessness before they get caught in it keeps you engaged in the story. Then you add in just the right amount of spicy-times for good measure. They have a long way to go which means we get several more books (I hope) to continue the journey. Zachary Zaba and Erin Bateman gave their usual impeccable performance to give the characters and the story more depth.

Enjoyable listen

It is such an amazing situation, dream come through and then the end of the world, so it turns I to a fight for survival. Super engaging that it keeps you on edge, and quite pleasant. Narrators do a great job to give personality to the characters too. I definitely recommend it!

It grasps you to not let you go
