BOOK SYNOPSIS

RECOMBINED - An Irrevocable Series Novel… Can mankind survive an apocalypse of his own making?

Bailey and Caleb fled civilization in light of impending disaster. Fighting to make their way south, they struggled to rejoin their survivalist friends and relatives. After facing crowds hell-bent on securing supplies… After getting the better of a marauding band of misfits… The couple arrive back at The Ranch, only to discover the place is deserted. Soon, a lone survivor emerges, explaining the group’s mysterious disappearance and the dangers they face in the ransacked hideaway.

Joining forces, the trio sets to work, restoring order to their desert oasis. Making repairs, as well as plans, they are soon joined by a few who had made a daring escape. Refusing to leave the others behind, tempers flare and lines are drawn, while the young couple struggles to define their relationship. In a desperate attempt to rescue the remainder of their comrades, the group moves into their bunker, prepared to hang on until the bitter end. Will they succeed in saving Bailey’s brothers, as well as the rest of their comrades? Or will the renegade town of Pouty put an end to Lawson once and for all...

EXCERPT

“I know. Like I said, we’ve only had snow here a few times, an’ I’m not even sure Carson was old enough t’ remember it,” he glanced over at the slumbering boy, not wishing him to see the display the couple would make against the growing daylight.

Shifting her gaze so that she could see the younger male as well, she mused aloud, “Maybe we should enjoy it a bit today. Play in it a little, while we can.”

“Maybe so,” he tightened his grip on her, feeding on her willingness to be held. Pushing his nose against her, he blew warm air across her ear. “I think you may be my snow angel, Bailey,” his voice low, his words were only for her.

She gasped with a wide grin, her breath creating a small amount of fog on the glass, “I thought we were just friends,” she used a finger to make dots in the coating.

MY REVIEW:

THE IRREVOCABLE SERIES IS A MUST READ.  I LOVE READING BOOKS ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE AND THE END OF THE WORLD.  I WAS IMMEDIATELY DRAWN INTO THE STORY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THE AUTHOR KEPT YOU GUESSING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STORY OF WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.  THIS WAS A FAST READ FOR ME AND I JUST KEPT ON TURNING THE PAGES.  I READ ALL 3 BOOKS REALLY FAST. 

WE ARE INTRODUCED TO BAILEY WHOSE WHOLE LIFE IS CHANGED WHEN HER PARENTS ARE KILLED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. BAILEY AND HER BROTHERS ARE FORCED TO LIVE WITH HER UNCLE.  BAILEY IS VERY SUSPICIOUS OF HER UNCLE AND KNOWS SOMETHING IS GOING ON.  SHE DOES EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO DEFY HER UNCLE.  SHE GETS A BOYFRIEND WHO HE WOULDN'T LIKE AND A JOB SO SHE ISN'T HOME TO MAKE DINNER.  BAILEY IS ATTACKED BY HER BOYFRIEND AND CALEB RESCUES HER.  CALEB IS A REGULAR CUSTOMER AT THE DINER SHE IS WORKING AT.  

HER UNCLE TAKES BAILEY, THE BOYS AND CALEB TO THE RANCH.  BAILEY LEARNS THAT CALEB IS PART OF THE RANCH.  THE RANCH IS A SMALL TOWN WHERE EVERYONE HELPS TO MAINTAIN.  BAILEY IS PUT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY AND DOES WHATEVER IS ASKED OF HER.  DESPITE THAT NO ONE LIKES HER AND WANTS HER GONE.  BAILEY SLOWLY STARTS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.   THE PEOPLE ARE PREPARING FOR THE END OF THE WORLD. THEY HAVE BUILT THIS SMALL TOWN, RAISED ANIMALS, STORE FOOD AND EVEN HAVE A GREENHOUSE IN PREPARATION FOR THE END OF THE WORLD.  BAILEY FINDS THIS SO UNBELIEVABLE AT THE BEGINNING BUT DOES TRY TO FIT IN FOR HER BROTHER'S SAKE.

WHEN CALEB LEARNS WHAT THEY HAVE PLANNED FOR BAILEY, HE RUNS AWAY WITH HER AND TAKES HER BACK TO TOWN.  THE PEOPLE AT THE RANCH AGREE TO LEAVE THEM ALONE AFTER CALEB THREATENS TO REVEAL SOME INFORMATION.  THEY WILL ALLOW BAILEY TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN THEY WILL RETURN TO THE RANCH.  BAILEY AND CALEB GET THEIR JOBS BACK AND RESUME A NORMAL LIFE.  CALEB TEACHES BAILEY HOW TO FIGHT AND TO SHOOT A GUN.  THE MORE TIME THEY SPEND TOGETHER, THE DEEPER THEIR BOND FORMS.  BAILEY LEARNS TO TRUST CALEB AND THEIR FEELINGS DEVELOP FOR ONE ANOTHER. WHEN THINGS START TO HAPPEN IN THE WORLD, BAILEY STARTS TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE.  SHE STARTS TO WORRY AND WANTS TO RETURN TO THE RANCH.  CALEB AGREES AND AFTER MANY OBSTACLES THEY RETURN TO THE RANCH ONLY TO FIND EVERYONE IS MISSING.  A SURVIVOR FILLS THEM IN ON WHAT HAPPENED.  BAILEY AND CALEB WORK TO GET THE RANCH READY FOR THEIR PEOPLE TO RETURN.  THEY MAKE REPAIRS AND PLANS WITH A GROUP THAT ESCAPED TO RESCUE THEIR PEOPLE.  WILL THEY SUCCEED?

I LOVED WATCHING BAILEY DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE STORY.  SHE GOES FROM TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE TO BEING HER OWN PERSON.  BAILEY LEARNS HOW TO TRULY LIVE AND BECOMES STRONGER EVERY DAY WITH CALEB'S HELP. HER BODY BECOME STRONGER AND SHE STARTS TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH CALEB'S EYES AND THE PEOPLE AT THE RANCH. I LOVED WATCHING CALEB AND BAILEY GETTING CLOSER AND SEEING THEM FALLING IN LOVE.  I LOVED CALEB.  HE TRULY CARED AND WANTED TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT DESPITE WHAT HE HAD BEEN TAUGHT.  CALEB TRULY LOVED BAILEY AND YOU COULD FEEL IT IN THE AUTHOR'S WRITING.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SERIES.  IT WAS TRULY AWESOME AND KEPT YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT GUESSING WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.  THERE WAS SO MUCH ACTION AND EVEN ROMANCE.  THERE WAS CONSTANTLY SOMETHING HAPPENING.  SAMANTHA JACOBEY HAS BECOME ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE WRITERS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE OF HER BOOKS.  5 STARS
