Review: Maybe a little too dramatic
Rating: 3 out of 5

I like that Hunter was an alpha male who could respect that Jesse was an alpha female right off the bat, as opposed to a Neanderthal who had to constantly use force against her out of some moronic need to keep her in line. I will definitely read the other books in the series, as they come out.Here's why I gave it 3 stars:SPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSI am so over this post apocalyptic world bull crap where it's men vs. women. 18 men find the girls, and they try to beat and rape them, as opposed to inviting them into the group or killing them for supplies? I'm not saying everyone's a peach, but there are a ton of people who aren't cold blooded murderers.Really? The alien species are scientifically advanced enough for space travel, yet the only women on the warship are wives?I read romance novels as an escape from daily life. Does there really need to be two instances where Hunter and his buddies, who are obviously being set up as love interests for Jesse's sisters, are MIA? My husband is on his 5th tour, trust me, it's not romantic to find out that his unit has been attacked and his whereabouts are unknown. There are better ways for the characters to realize how much they love each other.I don't like becoming invested in a supporting character, only to find out that he gets killed. I really don't like it when I go through the grieving process for him and the girl he was obviously being set up for, only to find out that the author was just kidding. That's what Joss Whedon movies are for. There are better ways to set up a plot for a second book.
