There are alot of readers split on this book, and I can see why. It's good...no, wait it's bad...no,no it's good...i changed my mind it's bad...no...This is what I went through but I read it to the end and i'm glad I did. It was rather sweet. But here's my list.Cons:Yes, the tense is all wrong. If you download a free sample you can tell if you're going to be able to handle this. It did bother me at first but after a while I began to ignore it. So unless you're a grammer fiend or school teacher, it shouldn't bother you after a while.The women give in waaaaay too easily in to being kidnapped. I began to wonder if they had loved ones at home that would be sad that they were suddenly missing. Did none of them have parents that they were concerned about? This was never talked about.There was a little bit of a repeatition of the whole "Oh my gosh! She's doing something so different but I like it!" thing going on. Not just by the H but by the rest of the other characters too. (Even though the emperor's woman is from Earth so I would think they've seen some of this before.)The native women of this planet are thought of as monsters to the Earth women, and they're sexually weird. But at the end of the book there seems to be a couple who may be different. How can I like them after being portrayed like that?Pros:The characters were lovely. The H ended up being sweet and alpha all in one. I love that type a H. The two little girls were sweet but not over the top. And the h stood up for herself from the begining and gave as good as she got. The secondary characters seemed interesting too.The love story was touching. You get alot of perspective from the H on how his woman and the children make him feel. He gets choked up a few times in awe of how much he cares for these people and how much they love him no matter what he looks like. After the h makes up her mind that Grim is the man for her she is very loyal, to the point of wanting to fight the emporer for him. This produces alot of loyalty among those men who serve Grim.The whole male centered society is redeemed by the end of the book. I'll not put any spoilers but let's just say that they start off kidnapping women but end in a very different state of mind.I recommend you read it, if you can get past the grammer mistakes, because there are some people that absolutley can't. On a side note, I don't know if the emperor and Kim got thier own book but I don't think I'd want to read it. Kim was portrayed as kind of unlikable in this book.
