3 stars.

It was initially 4 stars but TD uses the "it was all a dream" plot device that left me feeling cheated, so much so that even though there was still a bit left after that part, I had to push myself to finish the book (whereas I'd gotten through the first 3/4ths of the story relatively quickly).

If you disregard that part of the story, its pretty good. Not the best sci-fi erotica out there, but a far cry from the worst as well. I liked all the characters, but a little more back-story would have been nice. And its not a very in-depth story, so if thats what youre after, look elsewhere. All together, its a pretty light read (only a little angst) and is a pretty easy to get through even with the bit I didnt like.

Oh and while this is most definitely erotica (or if you prefer, Romantica) it almost seems like erotica-light. It had all the requisite sex scenes, but they werent nearly as intense as Im used to reading --which isnt necessarily bad (unless thats what youre looking for), it just surprised me. If youre new to the genre, or to Ménages this may be a good starting place for you to get an idea of what to expect.

Also keep in mind the whole story is from the heroines point of view. While that usually annoys me to no end, it seemed to fit the story in this case (though I still wouldve preferred to get at few scenes at least from the H, the H, and the Hs point of view)

And even though I wasnt as happy with the ending as Id have liked, theres a sequel in the works that I have every intention of buying!
