It’s good and I did enjoy myself, there are just a few things that keep this story from being perfect.

Reo and Nina are fun leads, I appreciate that we learned a lot about their characters individually. They felt like real characters instead of just placeholders. Their romance was a bit odd though. We didn’t see them really talk much, just the mention that they did indeed talk… but I would have preferred the talking more. That seemed to be the center of all of their issues, they didn’t communicate. Who would have thought that could be an issue in a romance novel?

What bothers me most about their communication issues is that even after they give into the affections of each other, Nina still refuses to talk to Reo about her insecurities and makes a decision that impacts both of them on her own. That was very much like what Reo was doing in the beginning. I just would have rather see them really work together more, rely on each other more.

Overall a good read though. The setting is interesting and the aliens on Kageth are unique. I liked seeing their civilization, but wish we’d learned more about it. One of my favorite parts was the brief scene that included the next two male leads, they seem interesting and I want to know more about them each.
