Axtin by Elin WynMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Brilliant Chemist Leena's heart is closed behind a wall of ice and her sharp tongue. So the battle happy berserker with a dark past Axtin with his green striped skin would be the last travelling companion she would've ever picked. But there is much more to him as he uses his strong arms to protect her from attackers causing her heart to start to thaw. Axtin only finds peace fighting against the Xathi since they destroyed his homeworld and so fighting them on Ankau just means that he does the same fight somewhere else. But when he is forced to protect Leena from the dangers all around can he learn to care for someone else?
I really enjoyed this story with the shut-off and determined Leena on the one side and the protective Axtin on the other. They definitely butt heads for a while until they found a middle ground and then a compromise to accept each other and their viewpoints. It was great to see them appreciate the other's strengths and be able to help each other. I was so glad to see Leena have some happiness in her life as he was far too uptight at the start of this series. Well written, easy to read and understand. Contains some sexual content.
