One reviewer said I would like this book unless I was a sour-faced grump. I never knew I was a sour-faced grump until now.I began reading the book with high expectations, because I love sci-fi romances. The plot was intriguing, and the story got off to a good start. 2 stars for that alone. But as in the one other K. Deauxville book I have read, I quickly lost interest and skimmed through to the end. The plot got too confused, and I didn't care enough by then to stay with it. Sorry, but there it is.
