Synopsis (Goodreads):

Can an alien professor decode the language of love?

Professor Harak H’gin leads a peaceful life studying linguistics on his native planet of Plumeria. Until the day he stumbles across a bedraggled, beautiful human female. Dared by a colleague to transform the pitiful creature into a true member of their society, Harak takes on the challenge.

Forced to eke out a meager living selling flowers, Liza is desperate to improve her situation. When a chance meeting offers the opportunity to become something more than a menial worker, she doesn’t hesitate - even though it means moving in with the arrogant, handsome alien.

But somewhere along the way, the lines between teacher and student, human and Plumerian, begin to blur. Can Harak resist her newly discovered charms? And can Liza give her heart to an alien who only seems to think of her as an experiment?

Thoughts on My Fair Alien: A down-on-her-luck human and the professor who sees something potentially wonderful in her are up and Liza and Harak and more than a few speedbumps along the way. Does that stop them from catching feelings? IT SURE DOESN'T!

So. Liza. She doesn't quite feel like she fits in with the other human refugees, but life keeps throwing roadblocks in her way to keep her from changing her circumstances. Harak's idea to teach her the nuances of Plumerian society is a chance for her to break out of the rut she's in, but it comes with a downside - she has to spend time with the arrogant professor. As it turns out, that's not all bad since soon the two are making eyes at one another.

On Harak's end, he's drawn to Liza, but he tries to keep things professional. Which doesn't work all that well when his protective instincts flare up and he starts getting a little irritated by anyone and everyone flocking to her.

A lady who wants to make more of herself, a man who sees potential where others don't, a whole lot of steamy looks, a little instinctive claw-baring, and a happily ever after that grabs both of them hard. GOOD TIMES.
