Stranded on Earth
Liisa’s passion is books, the kind they used to print when humanity still inhabited Earth. The only authentic collection in the galaxy is located in a museum housed on old Earth. Needing a break from work, she comes to Union Station to indulge in an orgy of reading. Of course, she doesn’t count on falling asleep in the library and missing the last flight off-planet before the winter season suspends interstellar traffic.
Jake is a sergeant in the Space Militia. He loses the draw this year and stays behind when Earth is evacuated for the winter. It’s his job to make sure the mutant life forms spawned by the nuke wars don’t break through the museum’s barrier. He’s resigned himself to a long, lonely winter fighting mutants and boredom.
When he discovers he’s not alone on the frigid remnants of man’s home world, he knows he should be a gentleman and keep his hands to himself, but spring is a long way off and Liisa’s charms are hard to resist.

The first page is an explicit pornographic fantasy. I am deleting this book without reading any further. The book blurb sounded like a fun romance; it should have warned readers of the XXX content.

This book held was such a promising story if it weren't very short. I think the world building was good but wasn't explained thoroughly and the reason why Liisa wanted to go to the other part of the museum wasn't touched. The couple was kind of sweet in a way but for me there was not much of a development with their relationship. Only wish it was longer and it might turned out great.

Very, very short. Kinda sweet but there is almost no development.
