Ok I only read the first 50 pages and got so bored I skipped to the sex scenes.As a romance novel it's not for me. The hero is a jerk. I get he's from a different culture (one apparently filled with jerks) but I'm from this culture and I want my fantasy men to be at least a bit descent. True I did find myself fantasizing about him but only about kicking him in the groin and then kneeing him in the nose while he keels over in pain (oh good times). It's also uncomfortably explicit and yet not sexy at all. It reads more like rape, ok maybe not rape but definitely unconsensual sexual abuse that would require years of therapy to get over. So yeah rape.As an erotic story it fails in making the sex sound good at all. They were so boring. Three, four sentences, orgasm, done. Please, please do yourself a favor and read some good erotica. You're worth it.Oh and of course the writing was bad but for a romance or erotica that was the least of its sins.Again I only read half of it it may get better but I wasted enough time on it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.CAPTIVATING, INTELLIGENT, IMAGINATIVE AND DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINING !!!By jlswainsboro/Judy LewisTitle: The ChallengeSeries: Rystani WarriorAuthor: Susan KearneyDesignation: Book One of Series, Full-length Standalone Novel, NO Cliffhanger, HEAMy Rating: Four Captivating Stars*****After reading some of the negative reviews, I was somewhat hesitant to invest my time into reading this novel and even more reluctant since Susan Kearney is a new author for me. It was difficult to make an informed decision since I had no experience with her previous work but the book was offered as a free download and I've always been a sucker for a free read, especially when it involves romance and science fiction. I was also quite intrigued after reading several of the comments from reviewers so I took the plunge and I'm so happy I did. I not only enjoyed this book, I actually loved it! Obviously, I rate books very differently than other reviewers. I base my opinions/reviews on a combination of factors including originality, plot, development, characters, craftsmanship, editing and cover art but the foremost element for me is how well it holds my interest and whether I actually enjoy what I'm reading, and I very much enjoyed The Challenge by Susan Kearney. When I truly love a book, I'm able to tune out the world, all interruptions and immerse myself completely in the adventure and the world created by the author. And this story grabbed me right out of the gate, held my undivided attention and completely captured my heart. Additionally, I was impressed with Kearney's boundless imagination and remarkable creativity as well as her exceptional language and world building skills. Kearney's imagination is literally off the charts and she did a fabulous job of executing her vision for this story into a well developed and well crafted novel. The narrative was skillfully written in the third person with alternating his and her points of view. The dialogue was smart, snappy, well executed and flowed effortlessly. The characters were well developed, captivating, engaging, sexy and at times, quite humorous. I found myself immediately drawn into this story, completely mesmerized by the two protagonists, Earth Secret Service Agent Tessa Camen and alien Rystani warrior, Kahn. I fell in love with these two unlikely lovers, not only from different time periods but also from different planets with extreme cultural differences which added to the conflict in the story. I found myself empathizing with them, crying for them, cheering for them and urging them on, all the while hoping for them to find their happy ending. I will admit, there were a few things that seemed a wee bit far-fetched but hey, this is futuristic science fiction where anything and everything is possible. Heck, I don't have to be transported 300 years into the future to believe in the impossible. Things I thought impossible 50 years ago now exist. I can only imagine how my great grandparents would react to the luxuries we now see as everyday necessities, like cell phones and computers. Twenty years ago, who in the world would have ever dreamed there would be a computer in every household I didn't. In several reviews, comments were made about the body suits featured in this story which were manufactured by a now extinct advanced alien civilization. I felt they were a unique and imaginative addition to the story. The suits were completely adaptable, always providing an endless element of fascination and wonder for me. So yes, I found them acceptable in the context of this story. If I can accept the possibility of traveling through time to an alien spaceship 300 years in the future to participate in a Challenge to save an alien planet, I can certainly accept and appreciate reading about a very advanced space age body suit that can function as clothing and body armor, providing protection from weapons, physical violence, heat, cold and even adjust for gravity, and controlled by the mind of the wearer. And yes, they even adjust for ritualistic bathing and sex. One reviewer criticized the author by commenting on the impossibility of having sex while wearing the suit but if we're truthful, I'm sure most of us have had sex at some point in our life while still wearing our clothes. I've found that people can become quite creative when sex is part of the equation. And these suits were designed to adapt for any and all situations. Were there a few problems with the book Sure, I didn't particularly care for the fact that the suits negated the wearer's need to use the bathroom but this story was the author's vision, not mine. Yes, there were a few grammatical mistakes and editing errors but none that actually distracted me from the story. I've never read a book that I would consider perfect. When I rate a book, I ask myself these questions: 1) What did I love about this book I loved the originality, craftsmanship, plot, characters, the exceptional world building and vivid descriptions along with the author's ability to put her idea for this story into an intelligent, imaginative, enjoyable format. 2) What didn't I like about this book Truthfully, I can't think of a single thing I actually disliked. 3) Would I recommend this book You bet and I am! 4) Will I reread this book Probably - I'm definitely keeping it in my library for a future reread. 5) Will I read this author again Absolutely! I'm very eager to read the next book in this series. 6) And finally, Could this book have been better Sure, what book couldn't. With a few little minor tweaks here and there, it could be improved but when all is said and done, my impressions are simply a matter of opinion and fortunately, everyone is entitled to their own. I will conclude my review by saying, if you love heart-pounding danger, heart-stopping adventure, spine-tingling suspense, imaginative and intelligently written science fiction with wonderful worlds and clever gadgets, courageous dominant alpha male heroes, sassy, resourceful and very brave female heroines, steamy passion and dreamy romance, then you will assuredly enjoy this book. I loved this book and so glad I decided to give it a try. I don't regret one single second I devoted to reading this novel. The Challenge is a full-length standalone novel (274 pages) with a very sweet and satisfying happy ending. Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.She could fight with the best, strategize and did very well thinking for herselfBy Julie H.In terms of values and lifestyle, Tessa and Kahn were as opposite as night and day. Kahn had the caveman and stick in the mud attitude down to an art. Once he understood Tessa's motivations and learned to adapt to the chaos she brought to his life is when his personality emerged-thankfully it wasn't totally barbaric! Tessa was definitely an independent female. She could fight with the best, strategize and did very well thinking for herself. She was stubborn and bratty about her limited options-can't blame her there-but as she grasped the ramifications of what was at stake she was able to open herself up to a world of opportunities she wouldn't have discovered otherwise. Dora, Tessa's computer friend, was my favorite character. She reminded me of a lot Dot from the movie Spaceballs... a mix of naivete, sophistication, sarcastic humor, and witty charm..just without the body. I have to admit, when I started this book I put it down a few times because it seemed it would be a really cheesy Sci-fi romance. I am glad I stuck it out because it was much better than I was expecting! Now I am curious to see what else is author has written.See all 193 customer reviews...
