I did not actively hate this book. Unfortunately, I'm a little indifferent to this book...which is, for me, worse than actually hating a book. At least with hating, there's some passion.I love the concept of the storyline, but somewhere between conceiving the idea and bringing the characters to life, the writer seems to have fallen back to her beginnings as a fanfiction writer (there were multiples clues, namely in her use of using such tired phrases (littered in fanfiction writing) as 'the taller male', 'the shorter man'. (It's okay to use the character's name or even species. If only so people could remember the character's names).What would have made this storyline more compelling would be an exploration of the difference in the alien's courting behavior vs human courting behavior, or biological quirks that don't exist in humankind. But no, there was kissing, stroking and anal penetration. I had actually anticipated the 'bedroom' scene very much as I expected some confusion or hesitation between the two, but nope. No hesitation...apparently alien males do exactly the same as human males.Ultimately, this whole book was a cliche that is frequently found in fan-fiction writing where the miraculous power of the 'taller male's' male part has the ability to heal everything.Other than the fact that the alien people typically were sans clothing and had some luminous tracings really didn't showcase a truly alien civilization.
