I was expecting a cheesy sci-fi romance, with strange aliens, men with muscles instead of brains and the women who swoon for them. A teensy part of me was a little disappointed that this wasn’t the case… ~ Under the Covers

When I first started reading this, I was expecting a cheesy sci-fi romance, with strange aliens, men with muscles instead of brains and the women who swoon for them. A teensy part of me was a little disappointed that this wasn’t the case, I love some cheese, but mostly I was pleasantly surprised, instead of being a massive corn fest instead it was a survival story about two people doing their best in an impossible situation.
If you like a tortured hero than this would be the book for you, my poor darling Max, although at first I wasn’t sure of him, he soon won me over as you realise what he has been through. I also really liked Addy, she was clever and tough. The reason this got 3.5 feathers rather than 4 or 5 was because although I liked the romance, there didn’t seem enough of it, one minute they kind of hated each other and then wham, they didn’t it was a fairly quick turnabout, it was only really the last parts of the book that really showed how well they worked as a couple.
But this was a good book, certainly full of adventure, a few fluffy aliens and when it finally got to it, a really great romance.
