I read the first book. I liked it but don't think  the characters were developed as they are in the one. To me it is all about the characters. If I don't  care about them, then I don't care about the story.This was a great read because you sense the male main character fall for her in the beginning and never gives up on her. He refuses all her exuses and holds on tight.I read some of the other reviews about a rape issue. Did he tie her up? Yes Did he use force? No I didn't hear her ever complain. She had many opportunitys to escape and in the end they are together. The main female character was tough yet fragile when it comes to her love. You can actually feel her pain when she discovers her loves past relationships.  You can also see her work through the pain and come ot on the other side.One thing that did disturb me is the way some women were treated. He was telling her in their society thaht women that are not bound end up in really horrible situations. The first two characters are Princes of the entire planet. You also meet their father who is the king. Im sure they could change this ending for women. Just an idea...lolThe odd thing is, we read these books and we expect warriors, strong, attractive, aggressive males and then want to look at their society as some utopia. I loved how the author addressed rhis by having the lead male bring up earths problems showing that no world is perfect..I balked when I first saw the price and it was a novella. I don't like novellas unless they are an intro to a story line with novels that are more than 100 pages. I also think they should be free or at a discounted price. I appreciate a novella as an appetizer to the story. On  this one though, I took a chance and bought it and am glad I did...Great book
