Way better than expected :)
It was fast paced, well explained, I really enjoy the "getting to know everyone" and let the story develops.
If I am not mistaken, this book might be the "beginning" of another serie by miss Sage ;)

This was a solid space romance. Strong characters (both the male and female which is important to me) and a pretty buyable reason for Insta-love. I would have liked things to slow down so we could get deeper into plot and character development... There wasn't really any chance to savor anything. Other than that a very enjoyable read.

Enjoyable
As enjoyable as I expected, which is quite enjoyable. Fairly typical for May Sage, but that is what I enjoy about her books.
I love how the main female protagonist is smartly strong willed, and she is not a virgin when she ends up with the male. I simply love that. And how the sex is not only him controlling stuff.

Normally books that span many years don't work for me. I don't know what it is, but I usually get bored or way too anxious to enjoy things. This is one of the first times that this format/story worked for me. The book begins when Kai is nine and Nalini is just born, and follows them through all of their major milestones and moments in their lives. I think it worked for me here because the author didn't dwell overlong on these moments, while giving me a complete look at their lives. There was so much covered, this could easily be expanded into an epic. But I would have been anxiously waiting for them to get together since they are separated (for the most part) until about the 60% mark when Nalini is about 27. I actually enjoyed the first half a bit more than the second. The ending wasn't as strong as I would have liked and the sex scene (happens close to the end) was a bit intense for my taste. Frankly all the sex-related parts of this book were a little jarring and didn't quite fit within the story well.

The first time they have sex, Kai sticks the hilt of a whip in her ass...without asking her first!Spoiler
The other being the solstice where there is a bacchanalia.icyjuban's review against another edition

Amazing
This book was very good. It sucks you in from the first page and doesn't let go until the end.

This is epic. The story that starts May's universe. It's much longer than her other stories, and so it has alot more detail and worldbuilding. I couldn't get enough!
