Strange Love

Lovely story. I loved the hero and heroine – both were wholesome and so sweet to each other (THANK YOU for no/little angst because the two actually communicate PROPERLY. I am sick unto death of couples fighting all the time). Zylar is a breath of fresh air in a subgenre dominated by alpha jackasses, and I really enjoyed his character. He is so gentle and kind. Also, I loved Beryl. I loved her accepting attitude and her adaptability – she is NOT freaking out for half the book or doing dumbass things or spitting snarky comments to everyone like someone with no control, thank goodness! Snaps the dog was cute.

Only thing I wish was that we could have seen more of the trials instead of skipping quite a few stages; that was a little disappointing! But this story is one of the best SF romances, with actual good writing and not just scene after scene of sex, sex, sex like in a lot of other books in the genre. This is a favorite and a keeper. I'm going to re-read this for sure, and there are very few books I re-read (considering how many other books I have TBR).

Thanks to the RomanceBooks subreddit for constantly bringing this book up as a recommendation for SF romance! This really hit the spot!
