The Beginning"
"The noises startled Kent out of a sound sleep and straight to his feet. Since he was still zipped snugly into his sleeping bag, he accomplished nothing but an undignified bell-flop.
Page 56:
"Now she spoke from nervousness rather than need. He appeared to be listening intently."
The book is Discovery: A Far Out Romance by T. M. Roy. I first read it several years ago and just picked it up to re-read. I like it as much this time as I did before.
From Goodreads:
Naturalist Dr. Kent Xavier flees to
his beloved Oregon wilderness to escape a horrendous breakup with his two (and
three...) timing fiancee. The last thing he wants to see right now is anyone of
the female persuasion, but the midnight rescue of a damsel in distress shoots
down that game plan.Lured by the beauty of planet Earth, Povre disobeys strict
orders to remain in camp in favor of a moonlight walk. A bad step on a slope of
loose rocks lands her in the very predicament she's supposed to avoid: contact
with the dominant native lifeforms.Forced together by mutual need, Kent and
Povre soon find themselves on the run from alien-hunting government agents.
Along the way these two scientists from very different worlds discover the most
important element of all - love.
