Review: WHERE WAS THE STORY????

I bought this based on all the wonderful reviews.  So I feel obligated to post my opinion since I had a very different reading experience.I was looking for a nice little sci-fi erotica novella and instead got written porn.  It was pages and pages of sex with no emotion build up. No emotional investment or interest for me as a reader in the characters. (Literally she opens the door the H says hello, doesn't even introduce himself and within half a page the first sex scene starts.) On top of that I found that there was no real character development - the H starts out wanting to make the H love him and with a tendency to be sexually /emotionally dominant. The h is not all that likeable, closed off and bratty  - but she amazingly goes from this to letting him get "into" all her emotional shields in a day and a half with what can only be the sex..... As for the plot I was hard pressed to find one, his trying to get her love??????The sad thing was, there was so much potential in this little novella: an emotionally scarred heroine who in a last ditch effort orders a custom husband who comes out with some "extras" from her Christmas shopping list, a hero hoping for love, a loving family, and interfering friends intent on making her happy that could have played lots of hijinks on the road to happily ever after - instead of just being mentioned.If you need story, plot, or characters with any depth I would suggest skipping this one. If on the other had you're in the mood for a hot little read and don't mind the use of tentacles this might be your book.
