Review: Fun odd couple romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

T.M Roy's book about a truly odd couple (Oregon professor Kent Xavier and blue alien visiting Earth Povre)  is a fun read with romance, adventure and humor.  The couple bond as Kent tries to keep Povre out of the clutches of government agents while hoping that her people manage to rescue her.  The action is deftly split between scenes of on Earth, and aboard the ship that brought Povre to Earth.  The characters are well written and believable with the relationships between them ringing true.  While the story may seem cliche (alien on Earth needs rescuing from the big bad government agency), T.M. makes it fresh and takes it in interesting directions.  She has a nice turn of phrase and writes in an enjoyable style.  The rescue of Povre has a bit of a Deus Ex Machina feel, but that's a slight quibble, as she does set it up better than most.  The ending leaves the work open for a sequel and I'm really hoping one is forthcoming.
