Review by Yvonne
I read The Barter System when it first came out. I thought it was a fantastic story then but Shayne McClendon has outdone herself! Shayne has done something with this update that just blew my mind! I loved the original concept of this story and was wondering how she would improve on it. The new depths that she takes each encounter with the subjects just amazed me. I was so impressed with the way she rounded out each subject and showed us a little more of what Riya was thinking. As the story progressed I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with the next subject. Each time I thought ”Oh, she can’t possibly top that!” SHE DID!! There were a couple of moments that I actually yelled OMG!! I don’t want to give spoilers so all I will say is this is a MUST read!! You will never be the same after reading this story!
Shayne McClendon is the author of more than fifty published books and over five hundred short stories (and counting).
She writes heart-pounding romantic fiction as Shayne McClendon, thrilling paranormal romance as Sabrina Rue, and LGBTQ+ action-packed erotica as Charlize Rojos. She spends most of her waking hours writing in one genre or another.
In the summer of 2022, Shayne abandoned her ten-year hermit lifestyle to do a 12,500-mile writing road trip visiting readers across the United States and Canada. For the moment, she’s chilling in the Pacific Northwest.
She’s not sure she’ll ever go home again…but the stories are coming faster than ever!
Coffee consumption is too high, the amount of sleep is too low, but the words always feel just right.
If you’re looking for your next great read…you need Shayne McClendon! Her dramatic and erotic romances will grab hold and not let you go until the very last page.
