There are no preconceived notions about an imaginary planet and the sky is the limit when writing about interplanetary travel. I also liked how a young man that knew so little about women, had a such respectful attitude toward Beka.Beka's character was more bold, but also more careful. Once you learn more about her, you will see why.If you like fantasy and science fiction romance, you will really like this one. This is an out of this world sweet and spicy romantic novella.Overall this one is an A.
