Review:
Lilac is the heiress of the richest man in the world, and Tarver is a young and decorated soldier. Told through alternating POVs, we join Lilac and Tarver as they become the only survivors of a spaceship incident which has them stranded on an unknown planet.
Coming from very different backgrounds, Lilac and Tarver don't find much to like in each other at first and the novel reads very much like Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas from the movie "Romancing the Stone". This first part of the novel was the most enjoyable to me as there is humour and suspense. As the novel gets towards the end, it does drift a little into YA love story-ville where declarations of love and angst can be a little drawn out and I didn't enjoy the last part of the novel as much.
So wavering between 3 and 4 stars I think it is a 3.5
