The Challenge Susan Kearney 9780765357335 Books

First off why are some reviewer so shocked about the heroine being a virgin? It could happen- for instance I'm pretty sure the author is a virgin because that's not how sex works. 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.

Title The Challenge
Series Rystani Warrior
Author Susan Kearney
Designation Book One of Series, Full-length Standalone Novel, NO Cliffhanger, HEA
My Rating Four Captivating Stars*****
After reading some of the negative reviews, I was somewhat hesitant to invest my time into reading it 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, world building, scene depictions, plot and character development, craftsmanship, grammar, 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 take care of every need of the wearer including personal hygiene, body waste disposal, maintaining proper body temperature and even adjust for sex and normal bathing when desired. 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 minor grammatical mistakes 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 but only for adult readers! 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 so I raced back to and purchased The Dare, Book Two of the Rystani Warriors 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.
This could have been so good!!! The time jumping, the space travel, the Osarians and Dora! It all was creative, vivid and and kept me throughly entertained. If this was a sci-fi read I would have loved it. The world building alone deserves some serious stars.

The romance plot was what really dragged this rating down. Although I really liked Tessa when she was by herself or with Dora and Osari, I couldn't stand her when she was with Kahn!

Kahn was just a horrid hero. He was offensive, insensitive, callous by action and thought and with a huge superiority complex that I just hated.

He was always talking down to her, high handed and bossy. And Tessa just accepted this. When she misstepped on issues she had no prior knowledge about or acted like any 21st century woman would, he would have no sympathy or understanding. She was always the one taking the blame and excusing his behavior or worse, apologizing!!! She became such a spineless heroine. So desperate for attention that Kahn's unbalanced affection and lust was enough for her.

After the gag scene and her falling apart after his humiliating rejection I was hoping for a huge groveling scene from him but we get Tessa easily forgiving his effed up actions because she wants a chance to make their messed up marriage work. Nothing Kahn has done warrants this thought process. Why does she want to stay with someone who would treat her like this? It just made no sense. Same with her almost dying at the hands of his people because she saved a drowning boy and preformed CPR!!! The attempted murderers get let off with an apology and everything is fine??? Where is the feeling of anger? Or outrage that his woman was put in danger? Even after his acceptance of Tessa, Kahn never convinced me he was genuine. I cant help but think he settled for Tessa because his people needed her for their very survival. It was all too convenient to have Tessa. After all she was willing to change completely in order to be with him. No effort was required of him, throw in some hot sex and Kahn is pretty much set.

Safety H is not a virgin, is widowed, loved his wife. Compares her constantly to the h. I don't believe he is over her. The h was a virgin. Had been in love with someone before but she was young and it never went beyond kissing. Humiliating and borderline abusive relationship between the H and h. Not safe!
First off why are some reviewer so shocked about the heroine being a virgin? It could happen- for instance I'm pretty sure the author is a virgin because that's not how sex works. Ok I only read the first 50 pages and got so bored I skipped to the sex scenes.
