This book is completely ridiculous. It's 80% sex with dialogue that reads like some alien breeder themed porno you'd expect to find in a frathouse. Having said that, if you're the type (like me) who ever stayed up late to watch and laugh at the B grade sci-fi on television you just might like it. This is seriously cheesy stuff and if you try, for even a moment, to take it seriously you would probably be repulsed. But I really don't think it's meant to be read as serious science fiction or even serious erotica. There is too much humour in it. (Gawd do I ever hope that it's intentional!) Every single one of Rellec's parroted declarations of sexual intent made me laugh. I just couldn't help it.The plot is essentially that Rellec has come to earth to find his mate, apparently planning to win her with sexual pleasure alone. Seriously, that's it. Cathy, his intended mate, is loose. I'd call her a slut, but that imparts an unintended judgement of her character. Let's just say she has no problem going at it in the outdoors with a man she JUST met. She also happens to have a real voyeuristic streak, convenient since everything she and Rellec does is observed by a planet of horny men. Good thing he's not the jealous type either.If you're looking for a good laugh that also tickles you libido, this is a good read for you. If you're looking for something just seriously hot, then this isn't it.
