This was pretty good. It could have been longer. (191 pages) A lot more could have been done with the plot and just more scenes would have been nice. It is your basic stranded together on a jungle planet story. Those are basic right? :-) There wasn't a lot of conflict between them. They were pretty attracted to each other from the start and there wasn't much to keep them apart. They are both human but from different places. It wasn't real clear how his people had changed genetically to cause the "attaching" effect. Or how long humans had been in space. The sci fi that existed had a bit of a Battlestar Galactica feel. Once they were on the planet, the sci fi element was basically null. The ending was a bit rushed and the reason that they were temporarily separated was a bit weak.

This was much more a love story than a sci fi story. As a love story more could have been done to illustrate their developing romance. For example, they came to a food sharing agreement then 6 weeks passed with just a sentence. More scenes from the 6 weeks would have been nice, each one showing them more in agreement or conquering some problem on the strange planet that led them to rely on each other. There was some of that sort of thing but more would have been nice, developed the story, and given a longer read. This is not erotica. There are a couple of love scenes but they were of the pretty normal for a romance novel sort.

The writing was decent, not great but not bad. I don't like to get bogged down in description for example, but more would have been nice here. They were on an alien planet after all. There was almost no description of the place.

All in all a decent read but not a great one. Oh and the tighty whities on the cover? They both spent a lot of time in their underwear.… (más)

I liked this. It was short and sweet.

Set in outer space.

The heroine has a birth defect wich means she cant use her legs,causing her to use a box like device (henche the title) to get around.

She works at a space station where spaceships dock.She started to talk with a young gaian man via the intercom and has come to look forward to his company.

One day he asks to meet her,but he is afraid to destroy their relationship by revealing that she is disable and he also couldnt meet her because his people has this quirk of imprinting on the opposite sex.Meaning if they are not careful they would have to marry that person.

Even if they were totally wrong for each other.The heroine thinks the hero would be horrified to be saddled with her.

Yes she has major issues about this.Cue angst.

I have read the authors other full lenght books set in the same universe,but this one I liked the best.… (más)
