Ruth is kidnapped while taking a shortcut on her way to the office.ĭisorientated she is thrown into a barren steel cell with a strange alien cellmate. Let's see how Ruth manages on a planet full of Gron's people with zero communication skills. I may actually read the next one when I have some free time. There's some humor, some survivalist action, some smexy times (minus the lakes of gooey body fluids), there's even a little twist at the end of the story. Now, unlike Ehd, Gron does have a language, it just sounds like a series of grunts that are unable to be interpreted, even with fancy schmancy translators. The primitive man (in this case primitive alien man), the inability to communicate beyond a single word, Gron's innate desire to keep Ruth safe and his naive sweetness. He's basically a natural.Īctually, you know what this book really reminded me of? Transcendence. Gron, though he is not as advanced as some species, has NO problem catching on when it comes to the fine art of banging.

She was like, 'It's about dang time!' and then proceeds to skill him on how to use his massive penile protrusion. It's kind of funny because he wakes up freaked out the first time he gets a boner. It's not until they spend enough time together, like touching and stuff, that a Bond forms. So basically what we have here is a big ole alien virgin. They have to be Bonded for that to happen and once they Bond, they Bond for life. Apparently Gron's people can't just do it whenever they want with whomever they want. That being said, though, this was not an over the top smutty read. It ain't just for grabbing tree branches, I'll tell you that ) His tail may have been the best part of his beefcake physique. He's a rock solid (think power lifter build), furry, tailed sapient. That, and the fact that Gron was supposed to be a non-human alien. Of course I actually really dig the alien abduction trope, it's the whole reason why I picked this book up in the first place. And guess what happens? This will shock you. A human female (Ruth aka 'Gruth') gets kidnapped from her planet to be bred with alien male (Gron). It's pretty typical sci-fi romance fare for the most part. This was nothing wildly new nor was it particularly creative.
