Query: Not JL best work...

I agree with many of the reviewers regarding this novel. When I first check this book out from the library I didn't know that it was part of a series. So the flashbacks didn't bother me. However, what did bother me was the total lack of chemistry between Dalden and Brittany! There was no romance, no passion and I don't know where that 8 sensuality rating came. The only thing they had in commom was their height which was the first thing that attracted Brittany to Dalden when she first saw him. He had his mission and she was basically his guide. Where was the romance in that? There was way too much Martha. She never shut up. Brittany was about as bright as a piece of wood. Her refusal to accept that Dalden was from another planet despite the constant proof namely Martha, his spaceship, his planet, the huge house cat ect... was so annoying. I am just glad I didn't buy this book.
