review 1: Two men and one woman on a planet for a year alone, what could possibly happen? SEX SEX SEX! Well, okay, a little sex. This is a promising new author for me. Ms. Worth is writing in a genre I very much enjoy. There is menage and it's sci-fi/fantasy. Delicious! This story is more a 3.5 star, however I truncate on GR so it is at a 3 star.The world building in this story is light. It's a federation type universe with different aliens as well as humans. The alien in question is a male Gwinarian. Gwinarian are known for their ability to love cross gender and with more than one partner. This would be okay if it weren't for the history between Gwinarian, Egan Lothburn and the human Kol Frega. Caught in between is Lux Moyans, the captain who is attracted to both males. ... moreThe story is a bit confusing at first. For the first chapter, it was not clear to me if Lux is a male or female. With the story in first person, it took me until chapter 2 to determine Lux is a female. The characters are designed with painful pasts. Each character's past is divulged in a high level summary which doesn't exactly satisfy the reader. It makes it so that it's harder to relate to the characters. Still, the focus is not on the characters or the plot. I found it to be more focused on their budding sexual relationship and personal hang ups. This did make the story more tension filled and enjoyable. This smexy sci-fi/fantasy tale is recommended for menage lovers who enjoy a bit of angst.
review 2: Reviewed at smutgardens.wordpress.comThe Kithran Regenesis series #1MMF, Futuristic Sci-FiFinished 9/5/2012B&N ebook, $2.94Overall: 3 stars, Heat: AdventurousPlot: Lux is a female pilot, Kol is her male 2nd in command and Egan is the hot alien guy they pick up on their way to Kithra, a planet destroyed by explosions several years ago. Their goal is to help Kithra thrive once again by working on the life pods and greenhouses and stuff. Lux and Kol are attracted to each other and have been for several years, although they never acted on that attraction until this mission. Kol was married to Egan’s best friend before the planet was destroyed by the explosions that killed most of the alien race. The Gwinarian race is one of supremely awesome sexual freedom and back in the day, Kol and his wife were on the verge of asking Egan to join them in their family unit. But then the explosions happened and Kol thought Egan had died.This was a pretty short book (197 pages on the nook) and a fast read. I kind of expected the sex to be more hard core (especially with the MM element), and while it was very descriptive, it wasn’t the raison d’etre for the whole thing. It was actually a sweet story. The awesome thing is that it wasn’t riddled with the whole threesome angst common in ménage stories. The most angsty part was Lux having to make the decision whether to pull back on HER raison d’etre (flying) in order to become a family unit with Kol and Egan on Kithra.Only three stars here. I put the next one in the series on my TBR list on goodreads, but didn’t get a sample of it for my nook (which is where I normally find books to read). less
