Good story but I getting deja vu while I was reading it especially toward the end. Charlotte "Charlie" and her brother Will are running from debtors after her uncle squanders all of their wealth and her fiancee breaks it off. She's barely making it as a waitress and her brother as a busboy. Lynx is a Xorn who lives on this backwater planet of misfits and runaways owning a casino. He's scented Charlie and knows she is the "One" for him, but now he has to convince her. Xorn are known as emotional vampires and are feared and hated and that's all Charlie knows. There's this big scene toward the end where the fiancee comes back into her life and Charlie finds out it's because a wealthier aunt has been looking for her last relatives that I kept thinking I've read this before, I knew what was going to happen next and I even knee the final emotional scene. I just don't remember from where because the beginning of the book was unfamiliar. 3.5 stars
