Really? When I looked into reading this book, I know that I saw somewhere (I'm thinking Amazon but I could be wrong) that there was explicit sexual content including all different kinds of hookups. That isn't on there any more?ReadingRebecca wrote:My overall rating was 2 out of 4 stars. I liked the tropical setting the most. I disliked the sexual relationships the least, partly because they were not hinted at in any blurbs I read (and they were rather blatant not to be at least mentioned) and partly because they did not fit into the story in my opinion. I would not recommend this book due to the sexual content. I didn't care for the book myself, but I saw others likes it.

This book clearly wasn't my cup of tea and I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I downloaded the book from Kindle Unlimited yesterday, and the warning is still there in the "About This Book" section.

I'm not sure if there's a warning in a more obvious spot, though.

Thank you! I knew I had seen it. I always try to look pretty thoroughly at the books. However, if you aren't looking, I guess that would be easy to overlook.Christina Rose wrote:I downloaded the book from Kindle Unlimited yesterday, and the warning is still there in the "About This Book" section.

I'm pretty thorough when checking out the books, too. It's probably my OCD. But, if you automatically close the pop-up, you'd miss the warning if it's not stated elsewhere.kandscreeley wrote:Thank you! I knew I had seen it.

I agree that it was nice to see (or read about) two people working together to be better for the children.CatInTheHat wrote:I rated this one 2 out of 4 stars. The underlying premise was a good one but it got lost with the onset of an insane number of sexual encounters. I did enjoy seeing Anne and Marty working towards being better partners in parenting. I would not recommend this book to others, for the reason mentioned above: too much sex that did not add to the fulfillment of the story.

I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars and in my opinion, it is one of the best sci-fy thriller stories that I have ever read. Ithe reminded me about the Solaris Saga by Janet Mcnulty.

I only read the first book in the "Solaris Saga," so I don't yet see the similarities, but may if I read more. I'm glad you enjoyed this book so much.Ferdinand_otieno wrote:I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars and in my opinion, it is one of the best sci-fy thriller stories that I have ever read.
