๐๐ NEW RELEASE๐๐
We are excited to celebrate HOMESTEAD by Claire Kent is LIVE!!
BLURB.
After losing the last remaining member of my family, I'm left all alone in a dangerous, uncivilized world. A twenty-three-year-old woman with no skills, no resources, and no protection can't make it on her own after Impact, so I'm forced to rely on the charity of strangers to survive.
My one chance of safety and security comes from an unexpected offer. Jimmy Carlson needs a partner. He wants help in his house and a woman in his bed, and he'd like that partner to be me. In return, I get a place to live, plenty of food, and the protection of a competent man and his larger community. It's a good deal, so of course I accept.
It means I have to live with a gruff, stoic man I barely know. All the new chores around the house are difficult enough, but they're not my biggest challenge. Because I'm now Jimmy's woman... whatever that means.

MY REVIEW.
4.5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ah, shoot!
Only now did I realize this book was part of a series! Hoping I haven't spoiled the ending for myself, I'm eager to dive into the others. "Homestead" offered a different experience for me, one I found captivating from the start. Claire Kent skillfully immerses readers in a post-apocalyptic world where survival is paramount.
Chloe finds herself in a somewhat better off amidst the chaos, thanks to her grandfather's prepping efforts. However, her comfort is short-lived after his passing, thrusting her into a new homestead where she's expected to contribute. Enter Jimmy, a widower on the homestead who offers Chloe partnership, albeit with traditional gender roles: she tends to household chores while he manages the animals and gardens.
Jimmy and Chloe are richly developed characters. While I immediately warmed to Jimmy, I struggled with Chloe's perceived helplessness, thinking I'm glad I didn't raise my daughter that way. Her constant self-doubt and hesitation grew tiresome over time.
The book is well written, offering a unique twist on romance with its survivalist theme. While not your typical sweet and steamy romance, "Homestead" stands out as a standalone novel with a small epilogue tying up loose ends.
MEET CLAIRE KENT.
Claire has been writing romance novels since she was twelve years old. After teaching English at the university level for several years, she started writing full-time under two different pen names. She lives in Virginia.
Her early books are sexy contemporary romances filled with heat and real emotion, but with the Hold series she transitioned to science fiction romance. Her current books are steamy post-apocalyptic romance set in the near future after a global catastrophe. They feature smart, resilient women trying to survive in a new chaotic world and falling in love with strong, gruff, taciturn men.
Claire also writes softer contemporary romances as Noelle Adams, and the best way to reach her is through her Noelle Adams email and social media accounts.
