Yes, another book from Kent. This one is post-apocalyptical. I really like her writing style and the growth of her characters! If I like a book or a series from an author I tend to shop around in their libraries for other gems.
In Last Light it is four years after an asteroid collided into the earth. Civilization has collapsed, and many people have fled their towns and cities to seek sanctuary in military bases. Those who haven't either joined large bands of morally bankrupt raiders, or stayed behind with sick or dying family.

Layne and Travis are two of the people who stayed behind with sick family. They come across each other once they start making their own ways to Fort Knox, where the rest of their town had already gone for sanctuary. They decide to travel together when they stumble across the news that there is a terrible band of raiders making their way to Fort Knox, one that had already destroyed one military base. They have to get there first to warn the Fort. They go through quite a few interesting and realistic trials, meet good people, meet horrible people, and even find a dog.
In spite of the end of the world setting, the romance is sweet and the story is about finding light and hope. There in an age gap of about ten years between the two, and Travis does act bossy when he's worried about Layne, but he's not overbearing and jealous. Layne is sweet and kind (as much as circumstances allow) to Travis' grumpy personality, which is always a fun trope for me. There are some very heated scenes in this book, I would call it a sweet and steamy read. A great first book in a series!
I rate this book 4.75 out of 5 quills.
