I don't think I was as enamored with this book as other readers.  This is a sci-fi romance, whith plenty of action and adventure.  I was very excited to read this book when I initally bought it, but after reading I think I enjoyed the concept more than the execution.  For me there was a disconnect that probably could have been remedy with a bit more detail.  When I think about the book only being 89 pages (on my e-reader) and how much happened (several fight scenes, several love scenes, a change in location, and a couple of misunderstandings between the main characters) there was a lot that happened with minimal descriptive detail.There were a couple of times that I found myself rolling my eyes at Ariel, the heroine.  For instance when she asks him why Ral (the alpha male) won't return her to his own world.  At first she's "furious" but after a brief explanation from him that boiled to "ehh, I'm not sure if I could find it" and "you're mine", emotionally she capitulates since afterall she's known him a month and can't imagine life without him.  If that's the case then what was there to be furious over in the first place?  That was one place that a little more description of the true reasons behind the emotion would have helped.  Maybe she was worried about being  discarded by him on his planet; maybe she was upset because she'd received no reassurances from him in the time they traveled; maybe she thought about it and her life on Earth wasn't hard to leave behind for a variety of reasons?Editing wise, it could use a re-read.  There were several spots where words were missing or an improper word was used.  It didn't detract from the story, but it did get annoying after a while.Overall, nothing about this book made me want to read the next in the series or anything else by this author.  The writing was just okay and the plot was not as fleshed out as it could have been.  That's not to say I won't read something else if it catches my interest, but I certainly won't seek anything out by this author and I'll count my pennies before I buy another book by her.
