Genuinely a 4.5 stars as this couple was so wholesome in my opinion.
Introducing the icehome therapist and the messed up loner outcast. This was a twist on the story I was not expecting. For some reason I didn't get therapist vibes from Stephanie in previous books. But neither did I get bisexual vibes off of her either. If Ruby Dixon hinted at it in her other icehome books it had clearly blown over my head.
What I liked is we got more information about the clans and the outcasts and the social dynamics of how it worked before the smokey mountain. Surprisingly instead of the outcasts forming a united front, it was as if they were also divided in their segregated clan.
What I liked about this book that was different was the adopted son angle. Dealing with a single parent in a budding romance was a new angle not introduced previously for the aliens. All the alien men so far had been single and desperate for a mate whereas Juth was more concerned about Pak then mating a "strange female".

*Spoilers
I LOVED THIS BOOK. Going into it I was a little wary because I have not been Steph's biggest fan in the past, but I think that being inside her head really helped. I also loved Juth and seeing him. This book honestly almost made me cry. I also love Pak. He is so cute and adorable. I was completely heart broken when Juth thought Steph was not really into him and decided to leave the tribe. But their reunion was so good.
The only things I have to complain about is Daisy and O'jek. This entire book they were insufferable and made me so made. I understand they are going through their own thing and we will probably see more of their prospective in their book, but this was almost too much. They do have potential, just they annoyed me so much here and they have a lot of work to do. I also did not buy that overnight O'jek became uncle of the year to Pak.
