If you're a regular here at GraveTells Romance, you know how much I adore Santino Hassell's romances. He's quickly becoming an auto-buy name for me (and there aren't very many on that list).

The Beyond series was the first erotic dystopian series I read, and it is still the most memorable. The hedonism, the controlled violence, the brotherhood and family. The sheer, uninhibited exhibitionism and sexual freedom.
