Right off the start The Leaner by Alan Nayes has you hooked. You ask yourself what is a host, is she dangerous, where is she from and why is she here. While the story starts out a little slow it picks speed as it goes and it draws you in and has you in the edge of your seat as you read.The Leaner is a mystical, magical, paranormal story involving out of space species born to do research of other planets and learn their habits but like every other being they have rules they must follow and their number one rule is there can be no involvement with a member of the host species. But aren't all rules meant to be broken? That is the case of NayéLi, a Leaner that is on planet earth to gather information and nothing else but like everything in life the unexpected happens and she falls in love with a human.Jared a doctor who is a widow that has made it in life to live his work after his wife died. His mother worried about him sets him up with a `nice' young lady who in turn turns out to be materialistic and not what he is looking for. After an awful date he goes into work replacing the ER doctor on call and gets there as people are rushed in after an accident. That is where he meets NayéLi and while she doesn't make an impact on him right away, she intrigues him later on when he sees that the accident had hardly any impact on her.He wants her and wants answers she avoids him as much as she can until she cant anymore. The Learner a story about love and adventures and definitely a page turner that will have you on the edge of your seat wanting to skip pages to read the good stuff or just hang in there and enjoy the ride.I recommended to all you ladies that love the paranormal world with a hint of love, lust and romance with a good loving relationship that grows gradually through the story and its not rushed. I give it 4stars/olives for an awesome read.
