Niki Savage clipped the rough edges of commonplace and predictable romances to fashion a true gem. The book incorporates at least four genres. Savage mixes them in perfect proportion to create a thought-provoking story of love and romance amid formidable internal and external opposition. In the beginning, the male protagonist Aidan appears as a hardhearted, emotionless character. Lily is weak of body and heart when the story begins, but becomes stronger as the romance between her Aidan and grows. Meanwhile, Aidan faces some truths about his life and his feelings for Lily. The romance, science fiction, adventure, and well-placed erotic episodes merge flawlessly. Things were rarely as I thought they would be, as each new part of the story unfolded. Savage’s descriptions of events, places, people, and their motives were crafted in detail.Villains to hate, a heroine to root for, and the mysterious Aidan made the book a great read for me. This book being the first of a series guarantees Savage a future sale to me. I'm ready to learn what happens next!
