A Mate's Risk

This was a pretty interesting read -- I liked the idea of the time spinner, the gods, and traveling between the worlds. 
However, I felt that the story could have been fleshed out more: I wanted to know just why Earth was part of the forbidden zone, where the gods came from and what gave them their power, and why they would honor that ritual at the end. As villains the gods were pretty one-dimensional and I would have liked them to have had a bit more depth. I also felt that it was surprising that Melinda would have been willing to risk her life and stay in a backwards place just for the possibility of "saving" Djar. It would have made more sense if they had been portrayed as having had more time to be with each other rather than just one night. 
 
That said, I enjoyed how Melinda had to win the love of Djar again -- in the setting of his world. I especially enjoyed how she was at a definite disadvantage because she didn't know anything that was going on and had to make do with her love and sincerity. It was a pleasant change from just having someone from a more technologically advanced planet go to a more tech-challenged place and decimate everything there.
