I avoided this book/series for a long time because the set up just seemed silly but I finally needed something different so... Actually the author pulled it off for me. I’ve read several straight sci fi novels with a similar set up and the rationale and world building here would stack up with any of those. Character development was good and I liked the hero and heroine together. I will probably go on with the series if the blurbs sound good. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

400 years in the future, men are few and women rule the world. Except for the area formerly known as Canada and Alaska, which is inhabited by the Men of the Northlands, a group of strong men who refuse to be ruled by women.

As a modern woman of year 2437 she knows that women are better off without men, but longing for an adventure, she makes a spontaneous decision and volunteers for a job no one else wants. Now she's going to lead an archeological excavation in the Northlands, the most secluded place on earth where the mythical males live who are rumored to be as brutal and dangerous as the men Christina has read about in her history books. What will happen when Christina crosses into the men's territory? Will they allow her to do her job, and is there any way they'll let her leave again-unharmed? Contains mature themes.

Anyway, about this story. We meet Boulder and Christina. Christina was a history professor and archehologist. When word came that an experienced archeologist was needed in the North, she volunteered. But once she got there, she soon realized her mistake in thinking she'd ever be safe. She was appointed a "protector" not realizing that was code word for husband. But nevertheless, she agrees to the short term marriage to Boulder so that she could complete her work. With Boulder, she soon realizes that maybe the men of the north aren't so bad after all. The two of course fall for each other. But face troubles when Christina decides to go back home.
At the end of the day, these two of course end up together. But it makes me wonder if all the books will be resolved the same way, with them choosing one place over the other. Or will the worlds eventually combine back into one?
Overall, I'd give this 2.5 stars. It was problematic in a lot of places, but I have hopes things will improve. ( )
