Loved the premise of this SF romance: aliens ask Earth to send ten scientists and an ambitious actress replaces one of the scientists.  Ashley is an appealing heroine, both vulnerable and courageous.  It took me a while to warm up to ZXQ-1/Sam, but I loved how the mindlink opened up his mind to emotions and colour.  The romance was well-developed and satisfying with real obstacles between the hero and heroine that were believably overcome.Quibble: Some sagging between the escape and when they reach the river--a lot of walking.
