Phase Shift is the thrilling final instalment in Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen’s fantastic Chaos Station sci-fi romance series, and it’s a terrific last hurrah for Zed, Felix and the crew. But of course, there’s no way any swan song featuring these characters isn’t going to put them – and us – through the wringer,…
For this month’s TBR Challenge prompt – “Not in Kansas Anymore” – I decided to get as far away from the world as we know it as I could and picked a science-fiction romance set in deep, deep outer space. Lisa Henry’s Dark Space is book one in a trilogy of the same name and…
Recently, while stuck on a plane for too many hours, I decided to reread Heat. Back in the day, I loved Smith’s complex, morally batshit books. Three of her works, The Last Hour of Gann, Heat, and Land of the Beautiful Dead, were all DIKs for me and I wondered how I’d see her work…
SF romance fans, your next great read is here! I got the ARC for Jessie Mihalik’s Hunt the Stars back in summer 2021, and it’s been KILLING me to have to sit on this review for SIX MONTHS before I could share it with you. If you like space adventure, action, intrigue, plot twists, and…
Romeo and Juliet – but in space, with the addition of some Wuthering Heights thrown on top of the pile. That’s the theme of Kathryn Barker’s Waking Romeo, which plays with and modernizes the play’s tropes. It’s dizzying, it’s messy, but it’s nonetheless compelling because it’s fun and inventive. Overall, the book will likely please…
Defending the Galaxy is the third and final book in Maria Snyder’s Sentinels of the Galaxy series, and it’s a fitting end to an engrossing trilogy of books. If you haven’t read the first two, I would stop here and pick up book one, Navigating the Stars. One of the best things about these novels…
You don’t go into a Planet of Desire book by Robin Lovett without a general understanding of what’s going to happen (lots of sex) yet I always find something new to like about each book in this series. Forbidden Desire is book four and another fun and entertaining read. Niva is a bonafide sex goddess…
A title like Captive Desire may put you in mind of a 1980s old school romance with a Fabio cover, but this book dates from 2018 and is the the second erotic science fiction story in Robin Lovett’s Planet of Desire series. It’s an opposites attract romance featuring two species previously at war who are…
Megan Hart is best known for writing erotica and erotic romances so I already know from past experience to expect some high quality sex scenes in her writing. However Dangerous Promise goes in a whole new direction than her previous books. The first in a futuristic sci-fi romance series entitled The Protector, it’s an intense…
I first heard of R.L. Smith when I read The Last Hour of Gann, one of the finest science fiction romance books I have ever read. It was difficult to read Cottonwood without similar expectations, but that would be doing the book an injustice. Twenty years ago, an alien spaceship came to Earth, only to…
