For fans of soul-mate romances that do not leave their life up to fate, fragile heroines, and messy endings. 

After leaving her life of luxury, Daisy heads to Not Hoth to find a mate and have children. However, Daisy begins to feel frustrated as couples resonate for the second or third time. This problem leads Daisy to approach her closest friend, O’jek. 

O’jek, along with Daisy, is waiting for resonance. But O’jek, having feelings for Daisy, decides to agree to Daisy’s plan to have a child. But, O’jek does realize that Daisy is not an active member of the tribe, nor is she self-sufficient. This leads to O’jek agreeing to Daisy’s plan and having Daisy become an active member of the tribe. 

This book is not for the weak-hearted due to Daisy’s borderline depression, and O’jek’s troubled childhood makes for a complex read. Unfortunately, these two are so wrapped up in their shortcomings that they refuse to talk about them; they refuse to talk about it and close themselves off. 

I have to add that Dixon really did Daisy and O’jek dirty with that ending. Usually, her endings set up the next book but don’t take away from the couple. But, if Dixon’s goal was to have people anticipating the next book, she succeeded.
