THE GOOD: Meribeth is an assistant & empath to Negotiator Kao. The Synopsis is a little off the mark. Kao had those gills installed with a purpose in mind before he removed his suit (kindle location 697)However,the author does a really great job on world building and manages to write good characters that I enjoyed reading about. This is a new take on Mer people and a world I would like to visit. Good JobTHE BAD: Kao doesn't have to work for Meribeth or her affections and he should have to. This is a sci fi romance but there is no build up. Sorry No Spoilers! When Meribeth learns of a personal negotiation Kao needs her to do for him, her initial reaction is to pull back.My though is YES! This is the perfect opportunity to build up sexual tension, drama and suspense  the story is lacking, but it last one sentence. There are several of these examples in this story that just left me feeling disappointed in the character and not interested in the outcome. The point of a HEA is there is a struggle to get to it. That is what is missing here. I just wasn't invested in Meribeth at all.Would I read this again- NoWould I recommend this to another- I would offer an opinion but not suggest as a first or second pickPrice- To high for length or quality of productSex- Spicy rated R to mild EroticWould I buy another from this author- This was a first so I would try a second book
