I'll admit I had a lot of trepidation when I purchased this book. I don't generally go for the alien/human combination in stories because the aliens turn out to be too human in their thoughts and reactions and looks. The author here though, managed to make the alien, well, alien, with very distinct differences in how they see the world compared to humans.I especially appreciated how the sex was handled between two species that didn't anatomically match up, as well as the day to day interactions between the main characters as they worked to understand  where the other is coming from.There is an element of D/s in the story but it is very light and unique in how it is applied because of course, there are two different worlds here. There is also a discussion of the concept of rape which had a nice anthropological view, driving home again the author's well-crafted, actual differences between the races.All around, this was a very enjoyable book and I will definitely be reading more work from this author.
