I wish Goodreads would implement half stars because this would be 3.5. I really liked the beginning of this book. It started out slightly more in the realm of very light sci-fi with a unique storyline, interesting world-building and some decent character development. However, as the story went on, it slid pretty solidly into the realm of stereotypical romance. It wasn't bad, but the reasons behind what was happening on the planet were never really fully explained, the conflicts of the story were much too easily resolved, and character motivations became much more one-dimensional. If all your looking for is a good, slightly sci-fi romance that's fairly light on the sex scenes, this is great. It's well written and fun. I personally wish the author would have kept up the depth of story and character that I felt was in the beginning, but I still enjoyed it overall.
