My rating: 4 of 5 starsI picked this book up today in the kindle store for free. This is a fantasy/sci-fi romance written by Rebecca York. This is a VERY short book, but it was really good. The Guardians crashed on the planet Jalaran a century ago. There was no hope of rescue. The people lived in fear of the Jalarans. But, the Guardians had something they wanted. Technology. When it becomes clear that the Guardian males are sterile they make a deal with the Jalarans. If they will mate with their females and produce offspring, they will share their technology. Elena is one of the women chosen. Rohan marries her. He is not the barbarian she thought he would be. She pleases her physically, but over time she begins to fall in love with him. Soon she finds she is pregnant. Before she can tell Rohan, he discovers that the Guardians had betrayed the Jalarans. What will happen to Elena and her child? I don't normally read a lot of sci-fi/ fantasy books, but I love Rebecca York's novels. When a book is free and it's written by reputable author, it's worth a try. It only took me about 15 minutes to read, if that. These short stories are great for a work break or lunch break. This will take you completely away from your stress for a little while. Overall a B+
