"A very well written paranormal romance"

Reuel, Lord Shatar, Cadish of the Seventh House of the Alliance Empire, Governor of the Planet Pyrali has always been someone whose duty to his planet comes first. As the eldest son he's expected to sire an heir, but a childhood accident prevents him from having children with the women of his planet. He's resigned himself to having to take an alien for a wife and to try to make the best of it, but he's shocked to discover that his future wife is none other than an Earthling. He's always found the women of Earth to be too unruly compared to the women of his planet.

Christa finds the Alliance no better than dictators. She thinks that the men are throwbacks to a more unenlightened time. She's not willing to marry such a rude man but she doesn't want to find herself exiled to an uninhabited asteroid. Will they be able to overcome their differences and find a real marriage? Will they be able to admit to their growing feelings?

This was a very well written paranormal romance but not one I would categorize as a sensual romance. That's not to say I didn't enjoy this story. The hero is a true alpha and at the beginning a bit annoying. He comes off as a bit rigid but bends as his relationship with the heroine develops and they go through a crisis together.
