I read this book because it was free.  I would not have read it otherwise due to the cover and I decided to write this review because good heck this book needs a warning! Some of the content a lot of readers will find objectionable. There is m/f/m, bdsm which includes harsh spanking (like she has welts) with a belt and anal sex.  If those things are not objectionable to you, then you will like this because this author is good.The story was interesting, so much so that I kept on reading. Oh and I'm one of those who does NOT like the before mentioned stuff yet I almost couldn't help myself....kinda like when you drive by a car accident and you can't help but look! Yup, I'm guilty.The story follows Felicia, an Earth woman from the time just before the destruction of Pompeii, who finds herself on a spaceship with several hundred of her fellow countrymen. Aiden is the doctor and brother to the captain of the ship, Caleb. Aiden is VERY good to her and helps her to understand where she is and why she is there....to his knowledge.  He wants Felicia's help in reassuring her people that everything is ok - that their goddess Venus is behind her people's relocation. You see, Felicia is a high priestess and very respected among her people. Felicia begins to see the wisdom of this and also comes to care, and yes even love Aiden. Their relationship and subsequent sexual experiences are no more than what you would find in a regular romance novel. In fact, the author even gave us some time to actually believe in their relationship rather than just throwing them into an instant sexual relationship. I really appreciated that.As the story progresses we learn why the people were really taken and we also experience those before mentioned things that some will find objectionable. These situations take place with Laetif, the wife of a man named Mikko Xyell who just so happened to also be behind Felicia's people's relocation. In the end there is a HFN and a great setup for a series that I'm sure some of you will really enjoy.I am rating this 3 1/2 stars because there were a few, though not a lot, of editing issues (Dumb things like using deceases instead of diseases.), and I would've liked more with the ending. Things were resolved, for now, but I would've liked more at the end. This author wrote a unique story that was interesting and for the most part I actually liked - and considering that I would never intentionally read a book with this type of content, that's saying something.If I were rating this book on the author's talent - 5 stars; and the story 3 1/2 stars. I really don't think this is a 1 star book as I've read a lot of stinkers out there and this certainly wasn't one of them.
