Review: The idea is interesting...

But wow - the lead characters are so annoying. The female lead makes up so much dumb crap to get away from the hero that I want to smack her. And as the story is explained - there could have been no end to REASONABLE excuses for her not to want to be with an alien - but if she started to care as she did - why not talk to him? She was unreasonable, childish, and crazy. And the boring hero just sat back and accepted it all. Pathetic. Yes, I understand that there needs to be conflict to have an interesting read - but the conflict also has to be reasonable/relatable/imaginable or it's all just annoying.In fairness, I was unable to finish this book (nearly unheard of for me). Maybe the hero gets backbone and his lady grows up after the first half, but I doubt it. Perhaps there is a genuine plot reason to keep the characters apart and not just manufactured crap to keep what should have realistically been a 150pg story going for over 300pgs. It really is sad, because I very much liked the idea of the world the author is starting out here.
