review 1: Unlike the Galaxy Brides of Michelle Pillow's :Dragon Lord Series, the Divinity Corporation's brides sent through their portals are not volunteers. In this new scify series, there are portals that transport people to different "planes" where the realms may vary from futuristic medical planets, to ones resembling medieval earth with a twist.Lilith is an employee of Divity Corp. Often traveling to different planes for her job. Shocked when she awakens one morning in a somewhat primitive world called Staria, Lilith finds herself imprisoned with other females who have also unwillingly been sent there through a Divinity portal. Apparently her company has been sending brides (more like abducted females), for the Staria Warriors, as the women there have become scarce.The world bu... moreilding is quite creative,captivating and draws you right into the story. Other than the Divinity portal the inhabitants of this plane have chosen to live with limited technology, no vehicles, no modern medicine, lots of primitive warriors who need a wife to come home to in between there unending war with a race of horrible creatures.Lilith is a highly educated modern woman who is by no means weak or docile. There is no way she is just going to accept the circumstances she is forced into. She is determined to figure out a way to to rescue herself and the other kidnapped women. Lilith is not a whiny helpless female, but an enjoyable character and interesting heroine. I admired her intelligence and strength of character, she is no weak woman and is going to be quite a challenge for whichever Warrior chooses her for a wife. Enter Sorin whose high rank affords him the privilege of being the first to choose a wife. Despite the fact that Sorin does not wish to remarry after being betrayed by his deceased first wife, he cannot help but be drawn to Lilith. The hunky, possessive,hot, alpha hero is not prepared for the spirited women he has claimed. I really liked Sorin, he has had a difficult past and is really a good man underneath the tough exterior. Despite the circumstances, Lilith and Sorin make a great couple. The chemistry between them builds gradually evolving into not just a relationship but also a partnership, and of course lots of hot erotic love scenes.The story flows seamlessly weaving together romance, cultural and time clashes, adventure, thrills, and humor. I love how the Heroine and Hero grow both individually and together. This is another exciting, hot ,romantic scify book and series by Michelle Pillow.
review 2: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I like reading alien abduction books, so I thought this sounded similar, boy was I wrong! Total twist to the normal abduction stories! Lilith works for Divinity Corp, she travels to other dimensions observing the cultures, documenting anything of their history or their current conditions. When she is done she travels back to her own dimension with her findings. She spends most of her time with books and loves her "stay in the background" kind of job! Imagine her surprise when she wakes up one day in a cell with several other women! You come to find out that she is in a dimension that is quite primitive. No technology, no vehicles, sub par medical treatments and a whole bunch of Warrior's who need wives! She is chosen by Lord Sorin. She is expected to "please" him and he in turn will care for her and continue to fight in the war against a terrible enemy led by an Evil Sorceress. I like that Lilith doesn't give in right away. She takes her time to observe the life, ask tons of questions and really get to understand her position and what staying would mean. The only thing she has a hard time with is that the warriors do not know how to love. Can she stay in a world where being "taken care of" is all she can look forward to? Well there is the s..e..x....which is amazing, but is it enough? Lord Sorin has married once before and was betrayed by his wife. He has trust issues and of course there is confusion between the two because of the vast differences between their worlds. It takes a tragic event to show both of them where their futures belong. I won't go into any more detail because I don't want to spoil the book, but they do have a HEA and I can't wait to read the next books which feature the other women Lilith meets in that cell! less

Liked the story but found Lilith to be repetitive for about 60% of the book.
DarkTree
Nice. But what happened? Too many books published too quickly?
