This book is about a story about a princess/queen-designate named Nissa, who lived on a peaceful planet that had been taken over forcefully by the off-worlders. To try and save her people Nissa, the king and queen, her betrothed and ninety-six of the inhabitants young unmarried women are put into space pods and sent into space in hopes of being found and bringing back help for everyone who had to remain behind on the planet before its to late.
The book starts with princess Nissa being discovered almost five hundred years later floating in her space pod (naked) in the middle of space by Tam a Captain/pilot. Tam comes from a worrier race that is mostly male due to the fact the most the females died due to sickness. Tam opens her pod and saves her life by "Bonding" with her and giving her some of his serum. The story continues on with him taking her back to his base and convincing his superiors to help them find the remaining pods full of women. She also wants to return back home to her planet and see what has become of it after her being gone so long. She also wants them to help her regain control of her planet.
This book is a type of romance novel that unfortunately it was a bit to vulgar for my taste. When reading a romance novel you expect a certain amount of sex scenes and a certain amount of story to go along with that. Well this book took it to a whole new level with having multiple sex scenes per chapter that were way more detailed and descriptive then what they really needed to be. The author did try to bring a bit of humor to the story in between the sex scenes by making them try to get the others attention at times in playful, funny ways.
The author did a good job describing the planets and their inhabitants with great detail and a good imagination with the use of contrasting colors for each planet. I could really visualize the different hues of color by how she described them making it easier to imagine what I was reading.
When reading the book there wasn't a lot of suspense and the story line was a bit predictable. I could usually guess what was gonna happen way before it came about in the book. I feel the author could have been more imaginative when it came to naming beverages in the book suck as coffee was named "eeffoc" and vodka was named "akdov". Even this this book was predictable I could follow the story easily.
The book really isn't a book I would recommend to read unless your into an abundance of overly graphic sex scenes and a predictable story line. I rate this book 2 out of 4 stars because even tho the story line was predictable it was still a decent story.
