I'm so confused. I don't understand why there are so many good reviews for this book? Maybe I went into this with high expectations, but I was really disappointed. The story felt rushed and under-developed and the 'romance' was forced and it didn't come off as being organic in any way. For example, the two main characters just suddenly woke up one day and 'loved' each other - not exactly the type of romance story that I was looking for. I mean, I understand that this is light, easy, sci fi fluff, but I also like my books to show me the story rather than tell me the story...if that makes any sense? In addition to all that, there was a lot of info dumping. Also, the dialogue didn't sound very natural at times (I think because the author wanted to pack as much info as possible, so she made the characters have really awkward conversations that were loaded with info).I really wanted to like this book since the premise was so promising, but I feel like it really missed the mark. I read a lot of books and I usually don't leave many reviews, but on the off chance that there are readers like me who like their sci fi romance/erotica to be well-rounded and fully developed, I wanted to write this for them.
