review 1: I'm not entirely sure why I finished this book. There were many things in this book that usually annoy me to the point of not being able to continue reading, I almost set this book down several times, but I did finish so here goes.Firstly, there were many parts in this read when I felt as though I was reading something written by a college student...some good plotline going on but just basic character development and ALOT of grammatical errors. Some were so bad that I had to reread earlier parts to understand what was going on. A lot of the epiloge and dialect was extremley cliché and overused, not once did I think to myself "Huh, that's a really cool way to explain that."...but everything I have read somewhere before. Also, a lot of the characters traits and behaviors ar... moree hypocritical of eachother and just don't make sense. For example: take the main hero, Noah. he is portrayed as being dedicated, loyal and a trained soldier...the best in fact. He has been serving his planet and people for hundreds of years on earth but once he meets Abby he all of a sudden is ok with basically cheating on his wife back on his home planet. The author chalks it up to being ok because he "never loved her", and he "wasn't ever planning to return home anyway.". I'm sorry but a man like Noah (if a man like him truly existed), would not be ok with that. He wouldn't make excuses and he wouldn't try to justify it... he would continue with life as it and get the job done that he was sent to do, then he would return to his loveless marriage intact on his own planet. I didn't like the fact that without looking I could tell that this story was written by a woman. I like happy love stories as well as the next girl but don't give me men that act like women in the story, its a dealbreaker for me. I'm talking about the bachelor pad back at Noahs...if that many men lived together drinking, listening to loud music and playing pool as often as the author indicates the house wouldn't be immaculate all the time as described, the men also have a lot of "tender" moments together as well. That just...doesn't happen, no matter what planet men are from. Barf! Men are men, that's why we love them.Overall I wouldn't reccomend this book or series to anyone, and due to the writing style (or lack there of) of the author I doubt I would read anything by her again.
review 2: This book was a quick read. It was really cute, they slowly fell in love. The whole new take on the alien thing was interesting and the wiring was good. The only question that I have is, if they are aliens why did they keep referring to God so much. That annoyed me to no end. And will Abby age like a human or like the Alien? I like the character they were nicely done and easy to take a liking to them. Over all this was a good book, but I'm not rushing to finish this series. less
