My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Human Lila Garabedian is desperate for somewhere to hide where she can avoid detection and finds a condemned outbuilding at the edge of town and sleeps in a bunk that calls out to her due to its pleasing scent. However, the place is not abandoned and the Fever Brothers live there. When they return from the mine it becomes apparent that there is a woman sleeping in Xylan miner Zayzon of forty-five's bed. When they wake up Zayzon keeps standing too close to her, sniffing her hair and talking about mating compatibility. In order to stay hidden there, she offers to become their housekeeper (the brothers are really not good at cleaning). Lila keeps sleeping in Zayzon's bunk and it is becoming increasingly hard for her to avoid her attraction to him. But she really can't fall for anyone when demons from her past are looking for her. Can a human save an alien miner's life and avoid breaking his heart?
I enjoyed this story with the jeopardy of what Lila is running from as well as the pull between her and Zayzon. I could quite relate to her need to clean and tidy up their home - it sounds like a complete pigsty! It was great to read that Zayzon was made to pursue her and work for their mating - too often things like this are so quick and involve no work which feels slightly wrong. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.
