A nice little amuse-bouche of a story introducing Hawk's Hexworld. The romance moves quickly, but then the entire story moves quickly due to how short this is. Still an enjoyable hour spent reading this.

energy that expresses itself via pseudoscientific means...to see if this could keep my soap-opera lovin' story-slurpin' soul from parching into dust. I mean, Whyborne & Griffin is only one more novel from being complete on my reader radar! I need sudsy sweet seriesness! Now!!

Three winks in under 40pp means one entire star off.
