content: With 2 simple changes - changing the genders back, and setting the book in, say, the Mideast - this book would be a below average historical romance aimed at the younger reader. It's basically set in the old west, so it doesn't qualify as sci-fi. The only "fantastic" premise is that males are biologically rare, and some of the social implications of that, and even those aren't earth shattering. Given the creativity of some of the author's other books, this book is all the more disappointing. One can only hope they don't plan to make this a series.
