Mostly the bad guys capture their enemies to torture them since they get some sort of energy high off of it but they also attack and blow ships up.īut the taken by a sexy alien thing was the thrust of the book and if that's what you're looking for, you should find it here. That just seems a little iffy since the bad guys are hiding just behind the moon. Also they're at war but bring their human women up to live on a ginormous ship orbiting earth.
The first 2/3rds of the story involved this so there wasn't hardly any action/plot at all for most of the story.
The guys then try for a month to seduce the woman they've claimed. Most of it involves the fact that the Kindred are 95% male and need women from the three planets they've found in order to breed more Kindred. I mean come on, a push me pull you llama type thing that changes sizes on command, can carry you anywhere on the ship, is telepathic and lives below the garbage disposal?

The sex in order to bond thing was the main thrust of 2/3rds of the story. And isn't that what a great story is all about?Ī decent little erotic sci fi romance. After all, both parts make your heart beat faster and your gut clench. If I could talk to Evangeline Anderson I would tell her to get rid of the 'Wordy' sections & give the frightening sections the same intensity as the sex. I am trying to say this without giving anything away about the story. Also, there was a section towards the end that just seemed to happen WAY to quickly. Words that could have been used to up the intensity factor in the 'scary' sections. The romance (of course) & the sex scenes, for the most part, were captivating.Ī few places got a bit to wordy. The writing was great, so it flowed really well & kept your attention. The story was engrossing and the set up intriguing.
