Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a prequel novella to\u00a0The Scorpius Syndrome<\/em>\u00a0series.<\/p>\n

A meteor has crashed into earth, bringing with it a highly infectious bacteria that kills most of its victims, but leaves the survivors either with enhanced abilities or and \/ completely stripped of their humanity. Nora is a brilliant microbiologist who is bought in by the government to work with the CDC to try and find a cure. And coming to collect her is none other than her hot, military-man ex-husband, Deacon.<\/p>\n

Nora and Deke had a mad love when they were younger and married when they were just 18 before their different lives and their hot-headedness tore them apart. Now it\u2019s 8 years later and they have both grown up and have realized that what they had was the once-in-a-lifetime connection that people rarely find. And while Nora is determined to do her job and go home, Deke is determined to win back his girl.<\/p>\n

This novella is fast-paced, exciting, romantic and super sexy. Nora and Deke\u2019s chemistry is absolutely sizzling, and there\u2019s a great mix of sexy time and swoony romance as they find their way back to each other. All while faced with death and horrifying violence as they battle to keep the bacteria under control while they find a cure. But betrayal and sabotage may cause the end of the world as they know it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great start to a new series that I\u2019m really excited to dive into. Rebecca Zanetti does suspenseful, action-packed romance so well and with a brilliant set-up, I can\u2019t wait to go on with the story of Nora\u2019s best friend and fellow microbiologist, Lynne.<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n
