About the book:
Only one person can
protect her, and that's ME.
After escaping their
home, six aliens, including Benzen, hope to find freedom on a different planet.
They end up crashing onto a strange planet, a strange culture, and even
stranger inhabitants.
They expected to learn
some new things. However, one didn't expect to find love.
The Orba warriors are
on the run from their people, now that their once peace-loving planet has been
taken over by a hostile dictator, Palzu. They find out that they ended up on
Earth and meet a young woman named Allison who takes them under her wing.
When Palzu's soldiers
come after them, the group splits up and Benzen stays behind to protect
Allison. But then he starts to develop feelings for her.
What will happen when
he's forced to show her what he truly is? Will she accept him or fear him? And
will they be able to escape Palzu's forces?

The review --
Not a bad book, but
not a great one either. The cover most definitely outstrips the book. There are
definite holes and gaps in the story, and the story doesn't fit the blurb well
at all. The aliens all seem rather wussy to me, and I never really did get into
the book. The end of the book leaves a lot to be desired, and it isn't a well
written, cohesive book.
