Review: Interesting world building, strong female lead, touching romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

The heroine in this story reminded me of the one in Mooney's other book, "Captive Surrender" which I highly recommend.  Both gals have these incredible protective shields and are smart warriors working for the government.  The hero here, "Vall" is of unknown origin and so this story is kind of a sci-fi mystery as you try to figure out what he is and what he is capable of.Val develops in both personality and powers over time.  I'm not sure how realistic it was for him to be as nice/gentle as he was if was treated so badly for such a long time.  I was very touched by his initial puppy like attraction to the heroine.I think I would have given this book 5 stars if Val had been developed to the point where he was less of a "you Jane, me Tarzan" type of communicator.  You know he is totally in love with the heroine but I wish there was more of an intellectual exchange of ideas between the two.  Outside of their bedroom scenes, the relationship isn't equal as she is more of his guidance counselor.
