Gravitational Attraction

I am predisposed to like anything by Martinez as I've had wonderful luck with all her previous books that I've read.

This book has great worldbuilding, amazing characters and an enjoyable plot. Honestly, I could read it for the characters and the worldbuilding and day. I love inventive, alien culture we get to deal with.

However, the romance is not for me. The pair is good together, there's nothing unhealthy about it, it just goes from strangers to attracted to soulmates way too fast for me. And that soulmate thing is the whole basis for their romance. I mean, it does work for the story and the way it's told, but I needed the early lust dialed down and then the ‘can't live without' feelings to not have happened as soon (or, perhaps, at all). But, this is just my own preference and if you like the fated-mates, soulmates, other half of the soul sort of romances, this is a well written one.
