I liked this book very much. Laura is a touch sensitive. She can't stand to be touched or be close to people because their emotions overwhelm her. Enter Vince a policeman trying to find his missing sister. There's also an alien race that look like big butterflies. Who act like all they want is to help the human race. But do they? Or are they here for other reasons?

I felt for Laura who couldn't stand to be touched by anyone and wanted it so much. Also for Vince who wanted to touch Laura knowing he never could. I cried when he asked Laura to marry him even though he'd never be able to touch her. That's what I call love.

I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it. You'll love the ending. I did.

The characters felt very 2-D. They didn't leap off the paper or feel very emotional the way Evangeline Anderson has made me feel about other characters in her stories. Even towards each other the sexual build up was stunted somehow.

I liked the idea of the Lepids [aliens with wings like butterflies]. But the futuristic world was rather dull and bleak. I rated it because I love EA's writing and did enjoy the story.

Very interesting plot to this story.

After acquiring this book, I read a review of it on another site. That review was not positive, so I wasn't going to "waste my time" and just offer it here. But, changed my mind and glad I did.

The story is not only interesting, but very imaginative as well as unique.

Suspense, wonderfully descriptive scenes, likable H/H, sci-fi drama, with aliens that should have been pretty corny, but the story is so interesting that I didn't dwell on it while reading. Even now that I've finished it, I'm wondering how the author kept me from lingering on the corniness of these guys. Probably because they were portrayed so deviously well!

Enjoyable read.
