3 Star
Tessa Carmen, Secret Service Agent, is willing to give her life for the president. When she jumps in front of a bullet to save the president she wakes up in the future. She is told she will be doing the Challenge to get Earth into the Federation. She needs to rely on mysterious alien Kahn to prepare for the Challenge. Kahn doesn't know what to do with this outspoken woman. He needs her to succeed at the Challenge to save his people from starving. When they're forced to marry will they be able to meld their beliefs and live happily together?
I wanted to like this book more. I enjoyed Tessa banter with the computer Dora and pretty much everyone else except for Kahn she's supposed to end up with. I hated him. She's went from thinking she was going to die to jumping 3 centuries into the future and just supposed to except everything as he says it. He wants her to change everything to suit him. There is one scene that made me not like the book. As part of the challenge she is given a million credits. Key word here is SHE is given. Well she ends up investing in stuff for his world and spends all of the credits. He gets mad because HE had plans for it. Never lets her explain. Decides he's going to punish her sexually to prove he's in control and leaves her wanting because that's his right as the man. This would have been fine if she didn't immediately forgive him. Like instantly forgiven him. The other issue was later on his home world. A group of his people try and kill her because she saved a boy from drowning. Her thanks was to be shoved into the water and nearly drowned herself. What happens is all is forgiven because the women were confused. Overall, the writing was good which is why the 3 and not lower rating but there were some major issues with the story itself. I am going to see if the next book is better.
