The Bonding by Imogen Keeper

A Sci-Fi Erotica novel, that will keep you interested until the last page. The story starts out with Nissa, “queen-designate” of the planet Triannon. Nissa’s planet is being attacked; people are being slaughtered or turned into slaves. Nissa’s father decides to send 100 of their people into space in hopes of finding help. Tam is a warrior for his planet Argentus, he finds Nissa’s pod while on a lone mission. Tam saves Nissa from a deadly disease by giving her his serum (bonding).

Nissa wants to find her people and go back to Triannon in hopes of saving the planet; however, the bond with Tam is very strong. Nissa and Tam cannot be away from each other for more than a few hours without making each other sick. Tam can feel how much Nissa needs to be with her people, so he is willing to give her up just to make sure she is happy. Can Nissa and Tam handle being apart or will the bond be too strong for them?

The author, Imogen Keeper definitely made a very inventive story of erotic romance. I loved the character of Tam, he is strong, intelligent, sweet, sexy and of course book boyfriend material. Nissa’s character was irritating to me, because she was the stereotypical princess; she refused to believe that she actually had a connection with Tam. All Nissa seemed to care about was getting home to her planet. The book kept me intrigued the whole time, however, I did end up skipping through some of the adult scenes due to so much sex in the book. I love erotica as much as the next person, but sometimes too much sex takes away from the story.

I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I couldn’t give the book 5 stars due to some grammatical errors throughout the book. Also, the adult scenes started to almost take over the story. I wouldn’t give this book below 4 stars because it is written very well; the story line is very unique and intriguing. I would recommend this book to any sci-fi erotica romance lover, or even just romance in general. I think most people would fall in love with the characters and make them want to continue the series. I can’t wait to read the 2nd book in this collection.
