Singeh, Barin and Lortin are from a planet that is notoriously short on women. Their species have nearly died out, and it’s given the women of their planet more power than any one person should have. They are trying to get the council to find compatible mates for them to balance things on their home planet, but no one seems to be in a hurry to help them. One of the few species that is compatible with them is earth women, but they consider them ugly… until they meet Mary.

I thought that the author did a great job of showing the different problems that Mary had to deal with coming forward in time. It’s no picnic for her, and it was good to see something like that put forward a little more realistically than other stories. Everything is difficult for Mary, the adjustment, the bureaucracy, and the fact that they all think she needs more than they have time to give. Watching her struggle with understanding the culture of the three brothers was intriguing, and I liked how she didn’t just fall into being with them, it took time for her to get used to the idea of having all three. I never really thought she loved them all equally though, and I would have liked to see more about the brothers and how they think. Overall, it was a wonderful story that will definitely keep you turning the page to find out what happens next.
