Roman Irvine is a disgruntled IT Technician for the Divinity Bureau, a government agency that uses random selection to decide who lives and who dies. In a world where overpopulation has led to pollution, a crippled economy, and a world in crisis, he has accepted the bureau's activities as a necessity. That is until he meets April McIntyre.
April has every reason to be suspicious of Roman. He works for the Divinity Bureau, which sent her father to an early grave. However, he is also sweet and loyal, and unbeknownst to her, he saved her life. As Roman and April fall deeper in love, the deeper they are thrust into the politics of deciding who lives and who dies. Someone wants April dead. And the bureau's process of random selection may not be so random after all.

Momma Says: 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I stepped a little outside of my romance box with this young adult, dystopian romance, and I have to say that I was absolutely blown away by a riveting tale that I couldn't put down. Roman and April's forbidden romance starts with a name on a list and a bit of curiosity. As the pair get to know each other, the larger story of corruption and betrayal unfolds for a thoroughly engrossing read. With wonderful characters and witty dialogue, this debut novel is a fast-paced, entertaining read that is packed full of romance, intrigue, suspense, and at times, even a bit chilling. While the conclusion isn't a drive you crazy cliffy, it is open-ended, and I for one will be anxiously awaiting what's next for Roman and April.
