Publisher's summary

In a futuristic society, fate is decided by genetics, and love is only for the elite.

The mark appeared while I slept and can’t be ignored. I must present myself to the consulate, and from there, I don’t know what happens. While I’ve been taught the mark is an honor, I have no idea what it means. Questioning isn’t encouraged. I must obey.

My change in status exposes me to a violent side of society that I never suspected. Brings me to a strange and wondrous place known as the "surface", where I am immersed in a different way of living. I discover pleasure. I am involved in intrigue and learn about lies and different perspectives of the truth.

I must also make a choice between a man who is part of the caste system and the one who would destroy it.

Could be a future not so science fiction someday

Nice twists with the characters. Wish there were more available men like the commander. Then Match wouldn’t be necessary. Who wouldn’t like a strong loving powerful man good in bed to rescue the gray lady in the cave. A new twist on Cinderella story. I listened all the way thru . Didn’t want to turn it off. Great book.

Not sure that I’ve read this author before but I enjoyed the audiobook and before it was over I was looking for more in series to find it is stand alone book.

Futuristic

The world was practically destroyed by humans and the new order has a strict class system. It's not a nice place for many people. The best part was watching the two main characters change into better versions of themselves.

Very Interesting!

I liked the whole premise of this story. I would have loved to have read more with these characters and in this world. It was too short!

Interesting....

This was a complete surprise that I chose because it was the "Audible Deal of the Day". I have actually read books by this author before, but this was not a particular series that I was familiar with from her when I clicked the "buy" button..

I think this might have been a novella, or a "one off" and it was interesting. I came into it completely cold without any idea of the plot and it definitely held my interest. At some point, I began to become annoyed, but it didn't make me too upset and solved the story arc climax in a way that left me feeling fairly good.

This was an easy listen and ended up being a captivating story.

Very interesting

I like how I haven't heard this story before. I mean when you read a lot of dystopian romance it can get a bit repetitive. The only downfalls would be it was so short, and the spice could have been way better. otherwise a good quick read

A Very Weird Story and Too Short

I enjoyed listening to this short story, but could have been developed more I think. The ending was a BIG surprise and leaves one thinking,..hmmm. It falls sort of in the dystopian genre with a spunky heroine and a grumpy military man ultimately finding love. The synopsis for the story, "make a choice between the caste system, etc" on Amazon isn't really accurate though as the other man wouldn't even be in the running for me.
It was worth the sale price.

Surprisingly interesting and delightful

While this short sci-fi tale appeared to be a version of the famous book "Brave New World," its twists and enhancements generated a rather pleasant "happy-ending" story.
