This is a very short read by a new to me author . Set in an alien world sometime in the future we meet Fran who has somehow wound up as a prisoner and these aliens are not missing around! Terrified and frightened for her life Fran knows the only hope of survival is for her and her fellow hostages to escape.She's informed by a fellow prisoner that the Darken warriors imprisoned nearby might be strong enough to fight their captors and help them all escape but they need motivation! The daring Fran manages to get into their cell and then tries her best to awaken the warriors instincts. Only problem is these guys are not like the men back on Earth and it's possible that Fran is out of the frying pan and into the fire!This is my first but not my last read from Ms Gilchrist. Admittedly it's terribly short but she has managed to incorporate a good plot with interesting characters and some very sexy moments. This novella had ménage and I'm not sure if all her books feature that but it didn't detract from the story. Loved the really strong heroine and her will to survive and although brief the world building was intriguing with lots of action.I prefer a longer read if honest but feel if I marked this down because of that it would be unfair. This author knows how to write and the sex scenes although explicit were not hard core erotica or offensive. A very good introduction for me to this authors style and I will definitely read more.
