4.5 Stars, rounded up to 5

I loved this so much. This is my second CW Gray book (the 1st was cowritten with Amy Bellows), and now I can say that I am a fan of CW Gray.

This story was low-angst and very, very sweet and fluffy. If you don't like Instalove, you won't like this - but I do, so I did. :) It's very much Instalove. The story is also infused with a good deal of humor, especially surrounding all the pets that Leti can't help collecting (which I'm thinking may be a theme in CW Gray books?). Leti is so endearing with how empathetic he is, and I love how Will is just a total goner after he meets Leti. All the side characters, like the crew members and the admiral, are likewise just so sweet and powerless to resist Leti's charm. The more I think about it, the more I just really loved this book *squee!* I am excited that the second book in the series has the same 2 MCs.
