Search - Forced Mate

I didn't care for this. I continually forced myself to keep reading just to finish the book. I never made it. Halfway through, I finally gave up. There are just too many books to read.

Futuristic Science Fiction Romance, very explicit, *not* BDSM. "Forced Mate" is a chess term. The first in a proposed series by this author. One of the most inventive, imaginative worlds I have have come across, and I love science fiction. The author has a short story ebook prequel that explains the setting somewhat. It's available for $3 at http://www.newconceptspublishing.com/ - The second novel, "Insufficient Mating Material" will be out January 31, 2007.

By all the Lechers of Antiquity, what is a god-Emperor to do when his chosen mate is caught on tape speculating that he is a brute and a bore in bed? Renowned for his sexual prowess all over the galaxy, Prince Tarrant-Arragon has a reputation for depravity to keep up, even if the reality of his private life is a far different story. His personal inclination would be to woo his intended with charm and wit, but politics and Tigron tradition call for abduction followed by swift consummation. Embarking on a skilled seduction, Tarrant-Arragon feels confident in his ability to take his queen. But he hasn’t counted on the unpredictability of his little Earthling or the startling fact that she would make a pawn of his own heart.

Well- these are hard to read because all the names of the characters are too similar. I've read 2 and the premise sounds good but the characters just aren't engaging. She needs to focus on fewer characters in the romance and for come up with better names! I read a lot and very fast...and I just couldn't follow this story.
