Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just did not like the society the hero came from. Basically, to help the human colony with food they force every woman 21 years of age into a "breeding" session (aka rape) once a year and once the women are bred, a year later the aliens come back and take all the male born children. The heroine is now 21 and the hero wants to breed her. He takes her back to his planet and she "teaches" him about love and negotiates a new deal with him for her people. I didn't feel genuine love between these two. She's just a victim of Stockholm Syndrome and he's just an abusive bully. The scene where he sexually punishes her, really bothers me. I don't like men who use sex to humiliate or abuse. It's not attractive and it is not love. Some plots like this can be too edgy. Forcing 21 year old women to breed, which is just rape and then forcing them to give away their newborn baby boys and never see them again, does not produce loving, genuine feelings. I could not imagine in any way, loving a guy who can participate in that or endorse it. While the hero does not technically "force" the women (he does ask permission to have sex with her), but honestly she is in no way equal to him in power, resources, or anything so while she might give permission, I still felt it was coerced permission. It was more like statutory rape. She was not in a position to actually deny him (cause these aliens don't take denial well) so if you can't actually refuse, can you then actually consent. I don't think so. Kinda permission by duress. If you like plots with rape and forced breedings, then this is the series for you. But if you find that kinda hard to stomach, steer clear.
