For Nova, a twenty-three-year-old survivalist, wandering a barren wasteland was a lonely existence. But her day-to-day life was about to drastically change forever. Gone were the days when her only worries were rabid animals, augmented humans, the unforgiving scorching sun, and rogue watchmen. Now, Nova found herself faced with a new threat, and he was tall, grey, and horribly stubborn. For Kol, a two-hundred-year-old daredevil, sailing the never-ending waves of deep space was a vast and thrilling life to lead. He had one objective on Earth-rescue as many human females as possible and return them to his home planet. It was supposed to be simple, but no one told Kol that a human female's tongue could slice a male like a blade. His charge was short, strikingly attractive, and she talked way too much. Nova wasn't going to be kidnapped without putting up a fight, but Kol was more than ready to go toe to toe with her. These two species set out on a collision course that would redefine the phrase "The Big Bang" forever. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

There was a long description at the start which set the scene of earth's history of destroying the planet, then her family history and interactions and tragedy. This seemed very long, I wondered if it could have been done as a prologue and been less descriptive, it covers issues that come up later but I got bored and almost stopped reading the book.
As it's the first book in the series, I made allowances as sometimes the first book sets the scene for the rest of the series.
The story then moves to the heroine's interaction with an alien species called the Maji.
I liked that the heroine was strong and not afraid to stand up to them although she was scared but at times it seemed childish.
Her insubordination to the shipmaster is the provides some humour and highlights the cultural differences.
The heroine's whole life has been littered with distrustful interactions with other humans so she constantly reverts back to this with Kol, it got on my nerves a bit but at the same time it is what she has grown up with.
There is a lot of potential in this series. There is a mating bond which ensures fidelity so no cheating.
There are also some funny moments due to the difference in human/alien culture and language. Some were very clever. (
