This quiet Science Fiction Romance does a lot of lovely things in just a few pages. It explores the condition of s congenital analgesia- the inablity to feel pain or sensation from birth.
The heroine trades her body to be an Avatar for a planet in exchange for the feeling of touch.
I think that gaining sensation might be more overwhelming than what is portrayed (the mind of planet likely protects her) but the emotionial and physical journey of the heroine is compellling as is the worldvuilding a love story.
A goodread!

I didn't care for this one, it felt very disjointed. But I did learn more about a very rare medical condition, which is always a plus.

He was hedging his bets...
If he had asked for her ahead of time, why hadn't he already dismissed his mistresses. Instead he waited until she was a sure thing.

In this tale a human woman without the ability to feel is offered a powerful position on another world. I liked her, but would have liked to see more complexity in her reaction to the changes she faces. Also, I have mixed feelings about the relationship. He decided he wanted her before meeting her, but accepted who she was and came to love her. I guess loneliness led to the first and time and openness the second. However, I would have expected her to take a bit more time to adjust. Anyway, it was a cute story.
