Star Catcher has a very promising premise. An alien race must look to their planetary neighbors in hopes of saving the race due to reproductive complications that are threatening extinction. The Artanians haven't carried a pregnancy to term in so long this threat has them looking at the close genetic match of the humans for a surrogacy program.After seeing the heartache his sister suffers due to her inability to conceive Noth (it's a double namesake) makes it his life's work to discover a remedy to the problem that is plaguing the entire planet. They have spent several years planning for both the medical care of the surrogates and the capture and containment of the humans.After a whirlwind affair with Noth, who she believes is a foreign student who is studying at the same university Stella is in awe that she has found the perfect man. He is the type of caring and compassionate man she has dreamed of her whole life. The fact that his has the most amazing skills in the bedroom is just icing on her impeccable mancake. She knows that he must return home soon, but they know what they have is a once in a lifetime thing so she agrees to wait for his return.Most of my reads are dark and violent. It's what I enjoy. Stella's exuberance shines off the pages. She is one of those people who make the best out of any situation. She is very well matched to Noth. He has left his home planet to find a viable solution to his planets infertility problems. Insert aliens abducting humans for a breeding program and the happy couple with a dire situation felt off. Noth is a good man, a caring soul, so he was doing everything in his power to right the wrong, but the happy and horrific did not provide a good contrast for me.book provided by the author for the purpose of an honest review.
