This is a sci-fi/ paranormal romance. While I absolutely hated the cheesy cover, the story was really good. Robin Owens wrote a unique, beyond the norm love story. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Heart Thief. These books are part of the Celta's HeartMate series.
Synopsis (from back of book): All his life, Rand T'Ash has looked forward to meeting his HeartMate, with whome he could begin a family. Once a street tough but now a respected nobleman and artisan, he has crafted the perfect HeartGift, which, in the custom of the psychically-gifted population of the planet Celta, is the way a man finds-and attracts-his wife.
Danith Mallow is irresistibly drawn to the magnificent necklace on display at T'Ash's shop, but she is wary of its creator, despite an overpowering attraction. In a world where everyone is defined by their psychic ability, Danith has little, and thus is at the opposite end of the social spectrum from T'Ash. But T'Ash refuses to accept her rejection, and sees it as a challenge instead. They are HeartMates, but can T'Ash persuade his beloved to accept her destiny by his side?

My thoughts: I give this book a 4/5, mainly because it is so different from your usual love stories. Ms. Owen's opens the door to a new planet, and new customs, and does it without it being really dumb. That is talent. Danith is a bit of a whiner and doesn't want to give in to her feelings easily. T'Ash has a familiar who is a cat that is really funny. I am curious to see where this series is going.
