Review: Pretty good but didn't blow me away.

**3.5 stars**This is the second book in the Skybound trilogy and I liked it more than the first. In the beginning, I really enjoyed it. I'm all for fluffy, smutty, sci-fi and this started out exactly that way. A drug-inducted sex addicted guy (Neith) rescued from captivity and a sweet, "local yokel" giant man (Killian) forced to share the same room? Sign me up!! At first, the sex was hot and fun and I was all on board for a sci-fi erotica romp. However...At about the 50% mark, like with the first in the series, my attention started flagging. I found myself reading faster just to finish the book. I'm not sure why exactly this keeps happening with this series. The writing is pretty good and the characters are likeable. Part of my issue with this series has to be the world-building (or lack thereof). There is very little sci-fi here, and with a little editing, you could have a regular contemporary romance (albeit with a captive/slave/rescue theme). It is kind of just happenstance that everything takes place on a spaceship.Will I keep going with the third book? For sure! I want/need to see what happens with Jeret's story. However, though enjoyable, this series hasn't been a home run for me.
