Summary: Jensen is an Engelon, a race whose home planet was drained of all its resources and abandoned thousands of years ago. Now what remains of their collective live in a large spaceship that travels between galaxies in order to find, conquer, and drain new planets and their inhabitants of the one precious substance they need to survive: water. The Engelons don’t feel anything except for greed, thirst, and hatred for all creatures that try to stand in their way-except for Jensen. Always the odd alien out, Jensen has tried to keep his yearnings and emotions buried, but when his collective discovers a big, blue planet called Earth, everything changes.
Jensen is assigned the task of observing humanity up close, learning their ways and customs. When Jensen unintentionally takes a human form, his fellow Engelons have finally had enough. They cast him down to Earth, far from any ocean, where it is assumed he will die without access to water. But Jensen is rescued by Jared, a man who lives alone on the farm Jensen was dropped on. Jared has lost everything he ever held dear, but he has not lost his kindness or his willingness to help a very strange stranger in need.
Or: The Epic Love Story of Jensen Tentackles and Farmboy!Jared
Reccer's notes: Tentacles! Need I say more? If you do, then I have more to say. So, this is a sci-fi story, where a species that was so very advanced in technology was reduced to trying to survive, and they do it viciously. One of them (hero #1) was deemed not necessary to live and was left on the earth to die. Of course he was rescued by a local farmboy (hero #2). This author dealt out humor and angst like it's her job to make you cry while laughing, and laughing when crying. And then, the plot twisted into action-y... Yeah, it's a really really really great story.
