I was lucky to receive this in a giveaway but would have purchased it anyway as I love this authors work.K is a member of the Purist alliance -a Paladin-and as such feels virtually no emotions. Her only wish is to survive and progress until she finds total silence. Whilst on a routine mission she is captured by Boone as he believes he needs a Paladin to get him onto the planet where his sister is being held captive.The bulk of this story is about the journey they take and how it changes them. Boone is a giant of a man and yet is such a compassionate individual that K is constantly thrown off balance. K has had a life lacking in comfort and as she's used to being encased in a suit that pumps her full of drugs to suddenly be without it is shocking. She has been taught that any skin to skin contact would contaminate her and yet her body cries out for sensation. Knowing that K is just a means to rescuing his sister Boone is finding difficult not to want to protect her. As for K she begins to realise that the Purist way may not always be right.This is a lovely story set in a sci fi world that tries to imagine what it could be like years from now. Earth as we know it no longer exists and humans have been forced out into space and adapted as they can. This is essentially a romance although I felt it was a sensuous read and not hard core erotica that might put some readers off. It was really nice just to drift away into the world that the author has created and I look forward to reading more from her.Definitely recommended
