Eltab
Lord of the Hidden Layer
In one of the Star Trek novels, Jim Kirk's nephew has to escape danger along with a college-age Klingon woman. Of course sort-of-romance follows (he's clumsily trying to emulate his uncle who is smooth with the ladies in his own way). They have to overcome cultural hurdles: she gets excited at the smell of blood in the air, and he believes a gentleman would NEVER strike a lady. Both of them reach the surprising conclusion - within a few pages of each other - that the other person is trying by their own lights to show they care about and respect each other!
