So I did not enjoy this book at all.  It's a Sylvia Day wannabe romance, and it fails.  I did not feel comfortable in its setting, wherever it was supposed to be (never revealed), and I did not feel confident in the author's mastery of the English language, her understanding of the human condition, or her storytelling.  The romance -- was there a love connection?  It seemed like pure attraction, with no self control or awareness of appearances.  The scenes with physical encounters -- there are many, if you want them -- are vulgar and impossible, like two animals, one who has done absolutely everything and the other who has done nothing (who would want her?).  People on this planet do not behave this way.  There's a whole complicated dance that humans do, but not in this book.  The characters say "I love you" to each other, but why?  They have hardly had any time to get to know one another, and what they must know is dreadful.  He's a self-consumed playboy on the make, constantly, and she's kind of a loony tune virgin scaredy cat.  The chemistry makes zero sense.  She cries and mopes, and cares a lot about manga and anime, which I do not.  Refund, please.
