About the author
Sara Lindley
39books8followersThanks to all my readers. To those that send reviews and those that send me email. I appreciate all your thoughts. I like it that others enjoy reading my stories as much as I like writing them.
If there is one thing I like It's a really good story. I will have to admit, I love happy endings. I love family, true love and devotion. That is at the heart of all my stories.
The women don't have to be perfect. I prefer they aren't. And the men? They don't have to be perfect either although most of my male characters would swear they were.
People have flaws and these wonderful flaws I love to develop in my stories. It creates some of the rare characters that I love to explore. It's what makes being human interesting to me and all my stories have someone who has very clear-cut flaws.
I write stories that entertain me. Doing that, I believe I entertain others as well and...it keeps me out of trouble.

A very strong three stars
It would have been 4 if there weren't so many sub stories. This should have been three books. This was not my cup of tea. However, I can still appreciate it. I believe it will much more enjoyed by twenty somethings.

A strange combination
This story had a strange combination of western, highlander knights, and a futuristic setting. The erotica just made it even stranger. But it had a good story to it and the strange mix worked with it. I guess when you colonize a new planet anything goes.

An enjoyable and funny read.
Shelved as 'gave-up'
September 27, 2017I loved the cover of this book.
And I loved the description.
But I did not love the writing.
At all.
I barely got to the second chapter before deciding to quit. The writing seems very juvenile, and I had a hard time understanding what the author was trying to say. Some things in books are implied and that's ok, if the reader understands the implications. But I felt in certain spots I was supposed to pick up on things that the author, I guess thought was obvious, but I did not. It was weird. I gave up. But dang, I wanted this to be a good book because I loved the cover so much. Oh well.
