The Learner is a fantastic Sci-Fi Romance that introduces us to NayéLi, an alien that was sent to Earth to learn more about the human race. NayéLi stays in the background and does her job. She does not have to worry about someone remembering her because she has a memory shield that makes humans forget about her. NayéLi has been on Earth for a couple centuries and her time is almost at a end. Everything changes when she is in a bus accident.Jared Russell is a young doctor and widower who is still grieving the loss of his wife. He sees the bus accident and offers his help. He checks NayéLi's pulse and when he finds none, he assumes she is dead, so he moves on. When he turns around he discovers that NayéLi's body is gone. When he sees her walking around alive and well he is intrigued.NayéLi cannot figure out why her memory shield does not work on Jared, but for the first time she does not care. She is captivated by Jared, just as he is intrigued by her. The more they get to know one another the more the began to feel for one another. Their love is one that comes softly. NayéLi has broken all of the rules. Is there a way that she can be with Jared?Alan Nayes is a talented writer that weaves Sci-Fi, Mystery, Romance, and Suspense into a captivating story about an alien race and their interests in humans. The world that the author has built is amazing and full of details that make you fill like you are standing right beside the characters and feeling what they feel. The characters are complex and believable. I love how NayéLi gradually becomes more like the race that she is learning. She gradually becomes more and more human in the way that she thinks and how she acts.  Jared is such a beautiful man, not only in looks, but how he thinks and acts. He is such a wonderful hero for NayéLi. In many ways they save each other. This is a great story that will grab you right from the beginning and take you on a journey that you will not forget!I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
