This book started out pretty great; I loved that Adrienne was so fiery and that she wasn't just going to sit back and take being captured by aliens without putting up a fight.  I appreciated her for all the same reasons Dezac did.There was some really interesting stuff about the culture of the aliens, and there was some good stuff about the King keeping Ebony away from her sister... but just as things were starting to really get good and interesting, it's like the author got tired of writing the book and just decided to wrap everything up with a crazy cliché declaration of love and apparently that's supposed to be the happy ending?So many questions went unanswered...Will the earth women succumb to the diseases that the alien women did?  Do the enemies eventually go away or are they defeated?Ebony says she hates the King, but she's playing hard to get with him... does she fall in love with him?  Does she find happiness?And does feisty, fighting Adrienne seriously just give up on all that fighting as soon as Dezac declares his love?  Like... seriously.  She's still a prisoner.  He's still not going to let her out of the room ever.  She still doesn't have anything to do with her day.  But because he loves her, all those things suddenly no longer matter?The author had built up all these great lines to explore as the two adjusted and settled into their life together, but instead of actually doing anything with them, it's like she figured the sex scenes and declaration of love must be enough, no need to actually keep writing.  I dunno. It was just weird.If you just want some erotica, it's not bad, but if you like any real sense of closure or storyline, it's pretty disappointing, because it seems like it's going to have those things and then WHOOPs, it's over.
