Thanks for the review. I've started the sample pages and so far so good. I had thought it would be about the trans team but after reading your review about losing its self and not being about them, then I'm slightly torn about continuing. To be honest though if I don't keep reading to find out happens it will just play on my 1mind and bug me.

Latest Review: Dont Panic Its Organic by Dr. Andy Lopez

Hmmm. I liked the idea of a range of female characters, and Jennifer seemed quite promising - but, of course, she had to be blonde and beautiful and so on and so forth. From what you then say about the sex scenes, I wonder how strong the characters really are, or whether they are just designed to serve the erotic elements.

This does not sound very appealing to me. Over the top erotica is my first red flag. Second is the idea of the storyline sort of floundering somewhere in the middle. Just not my cup of tea! Thanks for the review, though.

Seriously, can't wait to read it! Love sci-fi genre, love time travel, love it when story explores theories based on real science and not some nonsense. Archeology always bonus! What gives me slight pause is reported over top erotism, hope it will not spoil reading.

I'm not such a big fan of erotic novels, but if there is a good plot, I can tolerate them. Nice to hear this one doesnt have a cliffhanger like most books do.

I thought the premise of this book sounded very interesting but I found the first few chapters difficult to read. I didn't care for the sentence structure and significant use of difficult words. I also felt like I was kind in the middle, which sometimes is done very well. In this instances, I felt like the action started too quickly and the storyline should have started a little sooner in terms of the events that were happening. Just a personal preference. I shall pass on this one. Nice review though. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate the explanation of it being kind of science fiction erotica, because that turns me off from reading it. Thanks for your review!

hmm...hard science and sexytimes is not a mix you see every day. Not sure that they mix together, but maybe I'll give this one a try someday.

I would like to read this, too, because it is about science fiction (time travel and dark matter). I personally liked the cover as well when I saw this on Amazon. Thanks for the review.

Sounds interesting! Even though there are erotic scenes. I don't enjoy reading those.

The book sounds intriguing. I am not a fan of science fiction as it tends to lean more on theories that sometimes are little too fictitious. But from the review sounds like the author knew what he was doing.

I enjoyed the review; however, I'm not a big fan of fantasy novels. I'm glad the author was able to get the story back on course for a nice conclusion.

I read the sample and did not see that it would take the turns it did, as explained in your review. I was surprised that it turned into an erotic romance, as I was starting to think it was a teen sci-fi novel. Thanks for your review!
