I'm really surprised that I liked this book. The plot didn't sound like something I generally like to read (I prefer 1 on 1), but I decided to give it a try because I like quite a few books by this author... and I'm happy I did because it was a fairly entertaining read! I'm glad everyone had a purpose in the story, as I was half expecting it to be like the random love interest in "The Portal", but I found I actually liked the way they paired themselves off. The language she uses for the aliens can be found in many of her books, so if the caveman dialect annoys you, avoid this author. I however, think it adds to the differences between the human and alien characters, why would they speak perfect English when they don't speak English? Overall, I liked the characters, they were funny, whether they meant to be or not, and I really wanted them all to be happy. It's a romance novel, so there's really no surprise endings here.Buuuutttt I must note that although I liked this book, it needs some serious editing! There were so many I had a hard to ignoring them (like I do with most romance novels), they were EVERYWHERE! The story also include rape (they seem to deal with it pretty well), so if that is a sensitive subject for you, I would suggests finding something else.
