In paranormal I need to be able to view the hero as somewhat human.  I had a hard time managing that with this story.  In the beginning a Zorn Warrior,  Argernon, saves Casey from men who are chasing her.  Argernon & Casey can't communicate so he just throws her over his shoulder & carries her to a cave he's been using while scouting out her planet.  She thinks he's a bigfoot and wants to take him home and keep him because he's "hot".  Apparently, he thinks she's hot too, because he grunts/growls at her while gesturing for her to take off her clothes while he strips & continuously points between her & his bed.  Of course, she doesn't usually do this type of thing, but he's hot so even though they've just met, all reservations are set aside.  She strips and gets in bed, still thinking he's a bigfoot.  In the midst of deciding to have sex with him, she even decides she doesn't need to worry about getting pregnant because different species, like cats & dogs, can't procreate.  Just Ewww!When Casey finds herself on Argernon's ship, communication occurs, & she finds out he isn't a bigfoot but an alien and plans to take her to his planet.  She becomes uncooperative.  In several scenes he ties her up and forces himself inside her (while she's pleading with him to leave her alone) because he can smell her excitement.  He even smilingly asks, in his all-knowing male way, if men on her planet are so weak that they listen when women say no.  ?!?!On top of all this, I thought Casey acted completely immature, getting mad at Argernon and throwing fits for stuff that was completely out of his control (but forgiving him for rape), the story was dumb, and the writing was juvenile.  And I liked the first book enough to pay for this second in the series!  I won't be reading this author again.And this is so petty, I hate to mention it, but did anyone else think the cover was unappealing?  He seemed to have a shrunken head compared to the rest of his body, which just emphasized the whole alien thing.  The cover was more something I had to overcome before buying the book, rather than something that drew me in.
