Living on Earth has changed for the
O’Hara family. With the human population almost totally
annihilated by an alien invasion, things have changed for the
gifted group. A precog, Caleb’s visions foretold of the
invasion and with the help of his brothers he was able to move
to higher ground and together make a home with his wife and
brothers. Janie, the woman of all three brothers’ dreams, has
lived as the sole wife of Caleb, but if his visions are to be
believed things are about to change. On a planet where there
are so few women, all three brothers will need to establish an
intimate connection with Janie if they want to survive the
second coming of the aliens and create the one thing that
holds the future of all humans and aliens in its palms.
First let me say I really tried to be
open minded while reading this story. I love the different and
erotic as much or more than the next person, but sometimes the
more out on a limb a story goes the less believable and
enjoyable it winds up being. Hara’s Legacy has
an interesting plot with the damage done to earth and the
change in the evolution of humans. I found the alien
interactions to be pretty interesting and quite creative. The
dynamics of the relationship between the brothers and Janie,
their shared wife, was where this story started to lose me.
Haven’t the “I want to share my lover with my sibling plot”
lost its appeal yet? One good thing about this “needed” quad
relationship is that there was at least some expected
emotional upheavals. I think there should be hesitancy and
guilt when you start boffing your brother’s wife, no matter if
you’ve always wanted her. I understood the necessity of what
was happening. I just think for myself, as a reader, this type
of relationship rubs me the wrong way no matter how enticing
and sexually explosive the encounters are written. I do take
my hat off to Bianca D’Arc because the heat level in this
story was awesome. I just expect that talented authors can
come up with a story that is just as exciting without the need
to have family members sharing lovers. |
