Publisher Description
"A love story as passionate and intelligent as it is beautiful."- Alta Hensley, USA TODAY bestselling author
I've seen the way he looks at me.
The Captain. The unquestioned leader of this ship.
A ship I wish to be free of. A man I want to be as far away from as my legs might carry me.
The society he's designed, the rules, the endless battle of wills...
Yes, I've seen the way he looks at me.
I've felt his fingertips brush my skin. Heard his laugh. Experienced his smile.
One that's only for me, and only in secret.
And I know what he wants.
He told me himself that everyone has to pay; that all who survived the fall of civilization were culpable. That's how he justifies the decisions he's made, the necessary evils he allows to take place on this ship… all in the name of a greater good.
And it's why I resist the starved way his gaze drinks me down. Why I can't be had at any price.
SWALLOW IT DOWN is an angst-ridden, enemies to lovers romance, boasting a strong female lead and a swoon worthy hero. This standalone features an HEA that will keep you turning the page all night.

Epic apocalyptic interpretation!
This is probably my favorite Addison Cain’s book. It’s on par with works of R. Lee Smith, just like half the size. Truly exceptional and you go through a roller coaster of emotions. The best part: No infamous cliffhanger at the end instead you get a slightly twisted HEA.
We get introduced to a post-apocalyptic world of fear and death. Nothing like a nuclear war to bring out the worst of humankind. Eugenia an amazing female lead. Strong, driven, clever and with steadfast hope, that there must be some good place left somewhere. Survival is hard earned and she is searching for clean water and food when she stumbles upon a cruise ship in the middle of a lake. And instead of getting hunted down, she decide to meat them head on.
The Captain Aaron has developed a highly strict system on the ship to help people survive even when some of he’s methods are unorthodox or evil. The men have to earn tickets to get the chance at trading said tickets for relations with the woman. The woman need the tickets to pay for their freedom. And there specific traditions in place to keep either parties from falling in love. From the start Eugenia decides that she will not take part, which leads to many confrontations between her and the Captain. It was an amazing journey as they slowly fall in love.
