Fun. Not wonderful - the reason he's afraid of the authorities is more than a little contrived, in particular - but the characters are beautifully drawn, as always for Justine Davis. They do take way too many chances, and the usual wild attraction beyond all reason, but they do try to fight it and behave reasonably (and fail). Also the sex scenes are beautifully detailed - this is one of the stories that men ought to read as a modern Kama Sutra. Which means, very explicit - if that's not your thing, stay away - but far from clinical (which I find boring). She is a little too trusting - less for Race than for Len - but she does know her area and her people. Good story, possibly worth rereading. ( )
