If you have never read the previous 2 books in this series, I would recommend it.  This is book 3, about Jo Strauss.  Even though these books can be read as stand alones, to get the full enjoyment, I would highly suggest reading book one and book two first.  This one picks up right where the last one left off.  Well, almost.  There is always a little back story at the beginning of the book, to bring one up to speed on the characters.  Jo, her sister Star, and their best friend River are circus performers.  Who get captured by aliens ( book 1, River's run).  They end up on an alien spaceship, save some really grade A PRIME alien men, and get caught up in a series of adventures.  Long story short, Jo wants to go back to Earth and tell her parents what really happened to her and Star.  And bring her parents back to live with them all on Kassis.  Predictably, not everything goes smoothly.  The whole circus comes to town!  I really loved this book.  I think that Ms. Smith does a wonderful job of creating alternate worlds, societies, and species.  This book wrapped up the plot line that began way back in River's Run, and did a great job of connecting the dots.  I was laughing out loud in some parts, just reading the reactions of these Alpha He-Men Males to the self-confident, self-assured women of earth.  There were some really HOT scenes, and some very tender loving scenes.  I liked the way it wrapped up some of the secondary characters love lives, but still left it open for some novella's about how they ended up together.  Yes, it is sci-fi romance, so is it entirely believable?  Not really, but it is escapism, and fantasy romance at its best.  There is a teaser in the back for another book, so it is not over....yet.......I really would recommend this series, and this book in particular.
