It felt like plot went nowhere. It went on and on about sex between the couple and others.

I enjoyed this sci-fi romance. It was a fast ride, sensual and fun. I wish it were longer but the 'short novel' length from this Ellora's Cave offering was enough to give the main H & H relationship some depth so that it wasn't just one woman humping 2 guys. No, 4 guys. Maybe more. It's been awhile since I read it.

Besides the sex, there was absolutely no point to this story. I swear Noel had more feelings for her clit piercing than she did for her boyfriends.
