DNFd at 20%. The premise sounded interesting but I couldn’t get into it.

Cold Attraction is a cute story that moves at a nice pace and is a pleasant way to spend a few hours. (Especially if you like slightly Dom-y aliens who are otherwise total pushovers.) Not a lot of world building or background on any of the characters, but it works for what it is. It has a bit of a Ruby Dixon feel to me, so maybe that's why I'm OK with it in this case. The Epilogue felt a bit random and out of left field, due to the fact that we learn nothing about Adriana's family during the story. But overall this is a solid, nice effort in the SFR genre.
It was also nice to see multiple female scientists in a story and they were all friends instead of catty competition for one another. I also enjoyed that Earth's envoys were not all white Americans. There was a nice mix of people from different countries and backgrounds represented here.

eh…
It was just okay. Honestly, it was like the normal alien/human love story and the remaining books will be about her friends. So nothing new or exciting but an okay story and plot.

Cold Attraction was a delightful read. Taron and Adriana start off whatever they got going on with a bang. As the story mostly centers around Taron and Adriana's relationship there is the fact that Adriana along with a human group have travelled through space and have come to do research on Taron's ice cold planet. So there is a sub plot of what's going on when they arrive and how Adriana and her group may be able to help. It's a fun and very spicy read. Definitely recommend to those that like some X rated romance in their lives!
