Review: 3.5 star rating or a B-
Rating: 3 out of 5

Just to explain, I know that some might think a 3.5 star rating would equal a C+, but to me, a 5-star book is one that is truly exceptional.  I think this deserves more than a C+.  See below.This is a sci-fi book about Lucy who suddenly finds herself beamed up into outer space.  From there, she quickly embarks on a relationship with Three, who is actually a human who lost his memories and is trying to return home.  I didn't mind the amount of sex in this book because Elsborg writes erotica very well and this book was nice and hot.  Lucy's thoughts were also hilarious and it was great to see the change and impact she had on the alien culture.  Also, in my opinion, the author did write just the right amount of a plot with sufficient details.  I categorize this author as an erotic author.  That being said, there needs to be plot and sex.  Personally, I feel a little cheated out of my money when I get a book that looks like erotica, but is just one or two sex scenes filled with plot that is not very good.  Here, I think you actually have a good balance of the two.So why only 3.5 stars?  Because I never went back and re-read this.  There are other Barbara Elsborg books that I have read and re-read and re-read.  Mostly her shorts, such as Snow Play and Power of Love.  I think she really does do short stories very well, and also, her novels tend to be on the longer side.WARNING/SPOILER: this is a story about Lucy and Three's relationship.  However, there is also MM sex in this book, although it doesn't involve Three.
