Just saying.<br \/>\nThis was cute. It&#8217;s kind of alien insta-love meets <i>Riddick<\/i>. The H and h run around surviving whatever randomness pops up, finally have an evening together to consummate their love, then a happily ever after in the form of an epilogue. It&#8217;s not overly spicy. There&#8217;s some humor here and there. And the writing is pretty good.
