Ok, If I had paid attention to the cover on this one, (I bought it on Kindle) I probably wouldn't have bought it just for the embarrassment factor - but it is a fun science fiction romance novel.The characters were easy to understand, their motivations were clear, they knew their place in the face of history and overall were quite likeable.The gal is everything you want in an alpha character.  She didn't need the guy for protection.  Actually, she managed to do more damage by herself than an entire army could ordinarily accomplish.  The guy..... well, let's just say he's awesome, has brothers (deep sigh of happiness) (brothers mean future story possibilities!) and is both rich, accomplished on his own, and oh--- the hereditary leader of his planet.In the story - there is only one mate destined for the men of this planet,  they call them the gemmate.  They are genetically and otherwise perfect mates for each other.Some of it was hokey - ok -- female gemmates get "sick" and can't do the naughty with anyone but their 'true gemate', but no such problems exist for the male gemmate.  Right.And 25 years ago they apparently took time during an alien invasion to "expose" all the babies to each other.  Yeah, when aliens are bearing down and intent on destroying my population, the first thing I think of is "oh yeah! let's ensure the sex lives of our future generation by giving 'em their gemmates.  Then oh, let's say, we go out and shoot us some aliens right?!"Honestly, I enjoyed this novel, despite the oh so very embarrassingly trashy cover.  If you are a sci-fi fan and enjoy Linnea Sinclair or Paticia Waddell, then you'd like this one.  I also went out and bought another one by this author, so you may find her somewhat addicting.
