i'm not into vampire romance books
couldn't get into this book ( )

When the heroine spacecraft is under siege and she's taken to an alien POW camp, she knows that shes in real danger. As princess to her people, she knows that if anyone should get even a hint of her true identity, she'll be used in the war and more lives will be lost. This is something she can't allow to happen, so she goes undercover. Stuck underground with the other captured soldiers, she meets the magnificent heroine, General of their prison and the only thing keeping all of them sane. He is charming and larger than life, someone with whom she feels safe with, someone she can trust. He's enraptured by the new addition to their hellhole and her intelligence and ability to speak the enemies language makes her a vital part of the team. But not only that, he's drawn to her spark and her beauty. He's known around camp for being a free man with the ladies. They are drawn to him and he takes them into his bed with pleasure but makes it perfectly known that he expects no strings attached. But with the heroine, he desires something more. Deep inside he recognizes his mate. When a former bodyguard is sent to kill her, to make sure she isn't used by the enemy, he snaps and he can no longer fight the urges he feels to both protect her and possess her. But he also knows that it's only this predicament they find themselves in that come bring about such a union. The outcast vampire and the Princess together? What a laugh. It's actually the heroine who pushes the relationship, especially when finding out that it's only her blood that he can feed on now. When the enemy begins to close in on her in the camp, they must do everything they can to escape and survive. I enjoyed this book a lot. I thought it had great characters and a bucketful of passion and drama. I did think more than a little odd, however, that the author would suddenly pack up in the middle of the series and send the characters to space.... I mean, WFT, it made no sense!! But that being said, I forced myself to treat this book as a stand alone from the Prime series and in doing so, I could allow myself to enjoy the writing, not thinking about how absurd this was. I loved the hero. Strong, dark at times, but about to laugh and tease. I loved the heroine because she was an equal balance of fragile and strength. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone, or to allow anyone to die because of her but when she needed comfort or a shoulder to cry on, she could rely on the hero. She was also sarcastic at times, deadpan at others but she could handle herself in the prison, mentally if not allows physically. As I said, I really liked this book even though it's set in out-freakin-space!! ( )

A futuristic look at Primes. ;-) Its a book within a book. At the very end you find out its what some of the female vampires were reading as part of their "Book Club". Still fun, still enjoyable to read. ( )

Let me start by admitting I have not done my author research yet for this book. I finished the book in one 4 hour sitting and then once I started to put the review up learned that this book is part of a series...it is actually number eight in Susan Sizemore's 'Primes' series. Well, color me shocked, I had no idea this part of a series as I read it, I never felt like I was missing anything and there wasn't any reference (that I noticed) to previous books or anything like that, crazy. Now on to what I thought...I thought this book was awesome...I just finished it and I am trying to think of anything negative from the whole book...but I can't. The whole story line was very easy to follow, the complexity of the different cultures was unique and easy to understand as well. The characters were awesome and everything had a raw basis of sexuality...and it works well for the book. This book is Kenyon's League meets Ward's brotherhood with a splash of Riddick. I liked it. I think I heartily retract my abhorrence for futuristic romance....can't wait for the sequel as I start the search for the rest of the series. ( )
