My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Susan is a human living in farming colony Meterion and her future is uncertain as she is a third daughter and therefore has no fertile land in her dowry. Her choices are stark - become an indentured servant or settle for an arranged marriage through the Prime Mating Agency (PMA). She just never expected to be paired with a grumpy lizardman. The last thing Olix needs is a mate, especially a soft offworlder with an unhealthy obsession with farming. As a Hunter, he is not a dirt digger and so he is convinced that the Seer was wrong when she insisted that for the sake of his people he had to take a mate. Yet he finds Susan's softness surprisingly addictive. With ancestral lands on the line and the future of the clans threatened, could she turn their fate around?
I really enjoyed this story with the strong Susan making the best of her situation and showing the clans that automation meant they did not have to dig dirt just appreciate the fruits of their labours. She was a very astute businesswoman and incredibly clever in the way she did things. I loved the relationship between Olix and Susan and the way their tolerance and acceptance soon morphed into a strong love that would definitely set them up for long and happy life. Easy to read and understand and addictive as I needed to know what was happening next. Contains some explicit sexual content.
