Lois, the female human lead, works as a dedicated Intake officer, processing alien refugees. Zir (not his full name), the male alien lead, works in IT for the same department. Lois is sure she and Zir don’t get along but maybe this is a case of cultural misunderstandings…

This story is female lead POV, well written, and an interesting sci fi romance. I do wish it was dual POV - many times I really wanted Zir’s perspective on a situation. I enjoyed Lois’ evolving understanding of Zir’s feelings and goals. I appreciated Zir’s gentle persistence. I enjoyed their growing intimacy and Zir’s anatomy. 

I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary review.
