No Words Alone
by Autumn Dawn
I was kind of enjoying it -since to then, I like to read some romance mixed with science fiction- until I came to this dialogue:
(Hero / heroine are kissing)
The thought triggered a sudden panic. She jerked away as if bitten by ice water. “We’re not married.”
“Not my fault,” he murmured, making for her lips.
She wrenched away, aware that he allowed her to go. He didn’t look pleased, though. “We are not married,” she repeated, stronger this time.
He crossed his arms and regarded her.
Discovering her hands were shaking wasn’t pleasant. She hugged herself to disguise it. “Look, I don’t know what your morals are here, but we don’t do certain things before we’re married on my world. A woman can be ruined if anyone even thinks she has. I’ve no interest in becoming a whore.”
Let's see if I get this straight:
a) if you kiss someone, you have marry him/her, regardless of how long you've known each other (1 week in this case)
b) sex before marriages equals becoming a whore.
Excuse me?
Enough. It was bad enought having to go through some heavy-handed clichés that make life in a space station disturbingly similar to life in a middle-class suburban landscape.
In all honesty, I should give it 1 star only. But I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, there may be people out there who enjoy this kind of thinking. I am just not one of them.
