Love the idea, hate the implementation. She's an ordinary human from Earth in the near future. He is a sexy alien from a race that saved Earth from being destroyed. Earth's thank you is to provide some brides, and he picks her. He has one month to convince her to marry him, through a series of increasingly intimate and erotic encounters while they live together on an alien ship. She's incredibly tempted but refuses to acquiesce, because marrying him means moving away from her family, returning to Earth on rare occasions.The erotica is spiffy and I loved the idea. The problem is that the reason keeping them apart got so, so, SO annoying; and the leading lady manages to mention it every single time she has an erotic encounter with him, every time they speak, and every time she thinks of him. Wow that got nasty. He absolutely refuses to talk about her worries despite supposedly loving her. Come on now, if he can't talk about this and come to a compromise, how will they ever make marriage work? What a looser.Mostly, I just wish she would stop over emphasizing the reasons that keep him & her apart.The book shows promise for the author. The 2nd book in the series is hugely better ("Hunted," 5-star). Unlike the author, I strongly suggest you start there.
