1.0 out of 5 stars With the Minority on This One, December 12, 2005

I'm sorry to say that I'm in the minority on what I thought about "Breeding Ground" by Jaid Black. The story was boring, as another reviewer states, and I couldn't wait for the book to be over. The characters are completely unmemorable and I was disappointed to realize that I would never want to pick this book up again. I've only read one other Jaid Black book, The Possession, which I loved (correction: I also read her book The Empress's New Clothes, also very good). I resisted buying this book for a long time, but after seeing so many positive reviews on it I decided to give it a shot. I should have gone with my gut instincts. I think another reviewers thought on the similarities between Breeding Ground and Planet of the Apes/Time Machine is very close to the mark, you'll definitely get a sense of that primitive, we're not in current day earth anymore type feel. I just feel that the story could have taken to a much higher and better level if Black had just pushed it a little further. The intimate scenes were mediocre, especially by erotica standards. There's definitely something missing from this book and it turned out to be such a disappointing waste of time and money.

If you're really into paranormal/sci-fi/fantasy romance, and you like the romance more on the steamy side, try Lora Leigh, Cheyenne McCray or Lauren Dane. I'll put Breeding Ground in my giveaway box, but hope that Black comes out with some better tales in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT!, January 3, 2006

This review is from: Breeding Ground (Paperback)

When Commander Alexandria Frazier left on an intergalactic mission for NASA, she knew that when she and her crew returned some 1500 years later, that many things will have changed. However, when she returns to a post-apocalyptic planet, she has to deal with more changes that she could ever have expected. Two races inhabit this brave new world, the human-like Takuri who nourish a matriarchal society, and the reptiloid Xandi who prey on them. The king of the Xandi wants Alex - to own her, to dominate her, to turn into his plaything. What is her fate on this godforsaken world?

Wow, what a positively HOT book! OK, perhaps there is better erotica out there, but I loved this book! It has an excellent combination of hot and steamy sex and love. Plus, I did like the science-fiction angle.

So, if you want a sci-fi / erotic romance book, then this is the one for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing story, November 23, 2005

This review is from: Breeding Ground (Paperback)

This is easily one of the best books I've ever read. The suspense will have you on the edge of your seat, the romance and sex are hot and intense. The book reminds me of a cross between Planet of the Apes and Time Machine. The twist at the end will throw you for a loop! Great story, complex characters, and did I mention the highly charged ending? I hope she writes a sequel soon!
