Review: Beautifully Written.  Poignant.

This was a different romance from what one normally encounters in the erotica genre.  It's a pity that it's priced so high for the length (should really be 99 cents for the length, but the quality of the writing and the uniqueness of the story make up somewhat for the higher price).  I think a lot more people would have read this touching story that reveals key life moments (first meeting, first sex with each other, graduations, birth, death) with a couple totally in love with each other if the story had been priced more appropriately.Starting with the current time and then moving backwards was a really unique and refreshing way to present this relationship.  Although the story is short, the world building is satisfying - reminiscent of pioneers, but on another world.  The love Keane has for Marrin is a tear jerking one.  The only reason why I don't give this 5 stars is due to price and also, because you don't really discover anything about Keane's inner feelings beyond his love for Marrin, nor do you understand what motivated him to become a contracted husband to her - surely he and others of his race would have had better options?  Although obviously the reader is glad he didn't : 0
