GRR Review: Alien Portals by Ruth Anne Scott

Alien Portal can be roughly described as 3/4 scifi and 1/4 romance. And the romance doesn't feel that well integrated, but rather, mostly an afterthought.

Galadriel was drawn to this museum exhibit about this precursor civilization like no other, that she spent as much time as she could next to it, then one day she decided to trespass into the area where this wall had been excavated from, and fell through a portal into a different world, and was saved by a humanoid alien called Vyker. Vyker was trying to save the future from the darkness for he is, literally, caretaker of the light, and the last one. And somehow, Vyker and Galadriel, plus a few other adventurers, will have to figure out the puzzle of the portals, to save all of existence. 

So where does romance fit into all this? Well, Galadriel and Vyker fall for each other, of course, never mind the sheer amount of coincidences that must align for that to happen, that Vyker is basically human anatomically and knows how to pleasure a human female despite the enormous power he wielded.

Evaluated as a pure adventure story involving time portals, this is not bad, as the plot points wrap up pretty well by the end. In fact, if you file away all the romance parts, the story will still work, which is why I say the romance feels... tacked-on.

And the bonus content is just crap.
