The character development is so clearly defined that you can easily tell who is speaking simply because of the differences in speech, in thought, and in action. A big part of this is that each chapter is clearly labeled with the character’s name so there is not confusion as to who’s eyes we’re looking through. I wasn’t bothered by the POV at all as I tore through the story.
An author has to have some serious skills to make the narrative flow without the reader stumbling over fifty million I statements.įortunately, Khan is able to do this very well. I have to admit that first person POV doesn’t usually grab me.
To me, it’s elevated above run-of-the-mill sexy romance (and trust me, I’ve read my fill of all romance, no story substance) in three distinct ways the skillful use of first-person point of view (POV), the references to current culture that are both reminders of character traits and humorous breaks from the action, and the attachment between the two main characters that transcends the physical, or maybe complements the physical.

The cover shows a heavily muscled male holding a sword with his face in shadow and a tail in the bottom left corner. For instance, Alana’s Khan first book in her Galaxy Gladiators Alien Abduction Romance Series, titled Zar: A Tortured Hero Alien Warrior Romance. Sometimes you have to go with a book’s description because the picture on the front doesn’t quite capture the true story.
