Review: Short Bite Sized Read
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 27, 2013
(BOOK received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)This is a short erotic fantasy read. I think for me this needed to be a full length novel or at the very least around 150 (ish) pages. I needed the background or more added on to the end to give the book more substance. There is quite a few reviews that comment on the fact that the book is all sex. Well, it is only approx. 54 pages in length so it will appear that the book is all sex and no substance, which is why I feel it needed to be longer. Add a bit more substance and the book would have been a winner for me. I do believe this is book #1.5 in the series and I may have benefitted by reading book #1 first.So let’s get to the bare bones of it. I can’t say too much about the storyline without giving away any major spoilers. The book starts with Fran wondering why she left such a safe life to end up imprisoned on an Alien planet. She comes up with a plan to try and escape and draws the short straw.  She is charged with waking up the two warriors who are imprisoned in the cell down the row and the only way to do this is through their sexual release. Well, as you can imagine this book does become seriously HOT and show come with a warning that states ‘this book could melt your e-reader’.Even though this is a short book I was able to pick up on the connection between all the characters, no matter how fleeting some of them may have been. I am quite impressed with how the author was able to have me all hot under the collar one minute and then on the edge of my seat with suspense the next. Like I said earlier, I did need more background or something just to satisfy my own need to have more substance in the book. Even though the book was lacking in one area the writing style in other areas of the book really did impress me and due to this I’m giving the book a 3.5 star rating. This book could have quite easily have achieved a 10* review from me.
