First, the title is misleading, while the story is about survival there is no passion in this story. There is obsession but no passion.  The premise is very interesting and thought provoking. With society so dependent on electronic gadgets what would happened if the economy crashed and there was no power. How would we learn anything new if we could no longer charge our Kindle devices or download instructions?Selena is one tough cookie. Due to past experiences with men, Selena avoids contact with others, especially communities. She feels that she is better on her own. That is until she meets Dan.  Against her will, Dan takes Selena to his community where he will be able protect her.Dan's character is very flat. He received military training; therefore he is focused and very quiet.  Unfortunately his personality doesn't change much throughout the story.  He rarely talks to Selena and besides the fact he follows her whenever she runs away, he shows no emotion.  Selena, on the other hand, character develops. She learns to trust others and she learns to love.There is very little dialogue between Selena and Dan and as a result their relationship is hard to believe. Also I wish the first sexually encounter between the two was less primal and more intimate.  I wish more information on the supporting characters was given i.ei, how did they arrive at the site and what was there life like before the crash.Would I recommend Surviving Passion to a friend?  Yes
