Melt from start to end with Etta Pierce's alien slow burn, Convergence.
Dr. Olivia Loxley, a behaviorist profile for the LAPD, is abducted from her home on Earth to aid Commander Thel Atarian, a covert elite operative, in the destruction of a human sex trafficking ring.
Olivia was a wonderful heroine. She was strong, smart, and extremely adaptive to her new situation. Olivia does not only adapt to it; she understands and accepts her new life of aliens, cultures, and the involement to a misson of the utmost importance. It was really nice seeing a different kind of trope in this type of sci-fi romance. Also, having a capable heroine who didn’t obsess about what was left behind was refreshing.
I also loved the fact that Pierce wrote about aliens who are actually aliens, having their own cultures and beliefs. Commander Atarian is honorable, capable, and a true gentleman. Atarian and Olivia’s relationship was a wonderful slow burn that gave delicious tension to the whole book. But watching these two get to know each other, learn about each other's cultures, and flirt with each other is worth it.
Pierce did a wonderful job creating this world and providing us with a lot of details without making it feel like an unnecessary info dump. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series and learn more about this world and the characters' relationship.
