Helpful Score: 2
I picked this up because it was a SciFi romance, vs. paranormal, for a change. I almost didn't get it because of the cover. Well, I can tell you that I'm 3/4 through it and I have not seen a tropical beach nor a palm tree yet - desert and spaceports, yes. I think the story here is not necessarily one that will appeal to the same people to which the cover would appeal.
That said, it is a fair yarn and moves fast enough. Fits right in the middle of the romance genre for a mix of adventure and sex. I found the two main characters frustrating due to their stupidity and/or lack of self confidence. OK, so that may be a major plot line, but I don't like wimpy characters as much as strong ones in action adventures. Both characters spend too much time in their heads, worrying about their insecurities.
It's good enough for me to try the next one in the series, but I will not read another if the it does not have stronger characters.
