Claimed in Orbit (Fated Mates of the Olmi Warriors, Book 1) - Brianna Everly

A great start to a new Sci-Fi Alien Romance series.

This is the first in a new Sci-Fi Alien Romance series from Brianna Everly. The story starts on Earth but is set predominantly in space. This is a romance and there are descriptive scenes of a consenting sexual nature between a human female and alien male.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a fun and light hearted read with a happy ever after and I raced through it in one evening. The female main character is strong and feisty and she definitely gives as good as she gets. The Olmi are taller than the average human. They are humanoid but definitely alien to look at. The peen is interesting and what comes out of it is hallucinogenic! Fabulous! What more could anyone ask for?

Those who sign up for Brianna Everly’s newsletter also get access to a prequel, which is almost as long as this first novel. Definitely worth doing. I really enjoyed that book as well.

If alien or monster romance is your thing, then you’ll like this. I’m really looking forward to the next book.

Breathlessly - Heather Relken

If you’re fascinated by the strange and the unusual, this book is definitely one for you.

This standalone polyamorous Sci-Fi Romance was written as a full length novel based on an earlier short story by this author. It’s set in a not too distant galaxy and contains scenes of consenting interspecies sexual activity between two males and a female. There is a trigger warning for homophobia experienced by one of the main characters. 

I really enjoyed this book. Heather Relken has a very fluent style of writing which makes her work a pleasure to read. The characters are well thought out and her alien species are very detailed, right down to anatomy, culture and language. The world building is excellent and Relken paints a beautifully clear picture with her words.

The galaxy is a vast place, housing the strange and unusual. Amongst the strange and unusual are the Kholorua; a race of benevolent beings, more than 100 feet tall who like to collect other species as pets.

Milo is a human who wakes one day on an idyllic beach in what seems to be paradise. Definitely not where he fell asleep. He’s one of around seventy humans who have been collected by the Kholorua as a pet. Life is, for the most part, stress free and all his needs are catered for, except for one thing; it appears that Milo is the only gay in the village and most of the villagers do not approve. 

This is a story of how Milo learns to love himself and how he finds his place within a new family. After moving back to the beach, away from the toxic environment created by other humans, he is soon joined by two others of an alien aquatic species, who bond with him and accept him for who he is. This is very much a love story, with a secondary story arc about the villagers. It’s a reflection of how humanity can be both loving and terrible, accepting and intolerant. It shines a light on how damaging a narrow-minded way of living is and how life can be so much better all round with an open heart and mind.

There are scenes of a sexual nature. There are scenes which are openly homosexual and there are very descriptive scenes of interspecies sexual activity and alien genitalia. If you’re fascinated by the strange and the unusual, this book is definitely one for you.

The Intergalactic Guide to Humans, Volume 1 - Skye MacKinnon

A hilarious, ridiculous and quite steamy romp through space with the most adorable and inept aliens. I loved it.

This is a Reverse Harem Sci-Fi Romance box set containing three books: Alien Abduction for Beginners, Alien Abduction for Professionals, Alien Abduction for Experts. The books are set primarily on a spaceship and a few planets throughout the galaxy and feature both alien and human beings. There is romance and several descriptive scenes of consenting interspecies sexual activity between several beings. 

I absolutely loved these books. The characters are very individual and there were many moments when I actually did laugh out loud. The concept of inept alien abductors is not one I’ve come across before when reading this genre. The writing is witty, the world building is great and the characters are all very well developed. I read through all three books in this set over the course of two evenings and that was only because I was forced to put it down to do real life things.

This is a tale of discovery for all the main characters; each of them developing their strengths and improving their lives along the way, often purely by accident.

This is the story of three almost incompetent males who have enrolled at the Inter Galactic University on a course to learn how to abduct other beings. Its a point of pride for them. Something their race is expected to excel at and they need the qualification. 

They target Earth and human females in particular because, well, boobs. That’s it basically. They are fascinated by boobs. Fortunately for them, their human abductee is found unconscious and lying by the roadside near a spaceport after crashing her bike. As a bonus, she has boobs in abundance and luckily for the males, she is more than happy to have been swiped from her poverty stricken existence on a desolate Earth to travel the galaxy with them. 

This book is entertaining, ridiculous and funny. I’d definitely recommend it. I’m off to check out the rest of the books from this author.

Stowaway (The Baron's Hand Saga, Book 1) : Heather Relken

An epic tale of abandonment and loss but above all, one of love and family

This book is the first in a Reverse Harem Sci-Fi Romance series by Heather Relken. It is set in a distant galaxy and features human and alien beings. It can be read as a standalone novel. There is some violence and there are several descriptive scenes of consenting inter-species sexual activity between all three males and one female.

Someone has discovered Earth, a previously unknown planet hidden away in the far reaches of the universe. Someone is kidnapping humans, stripping their memories and selling them for wildly high prices at auction.

Cinn is a human female who’s first memory is of waking up in a chaotic and crowded barn, with a group of humans being auctioned off to the highest bidders. She doesn’t recognise any of the alien species surrounding her. She doesn’t understand any of their languages. She is bought by someone who looks like an angel but feels like a devil. She has no idea if this is normal or legal but she knows she has to get away if she is to survive. 

At her first opportunity she escapes and hides herself in the storage area of a small vehicle, which happens to be an interplanetary craft belonging to a family of farming aliens. She is of course discovered by them mid-flight. What follows is a journey of her learning to communicate with four different species of aliens, coming to terms with having no family and not knowing her place in the universe, wanting to be part of this family and avoiding being reclaimed by the Angel.

This is an epic tale of abandonment and loss but above all, one of love and family. Each character is well thought through, deep and complex. Their interactions and behaviours feel real and almost tangible. As a reader, I could feel Cinn’s sense of loss and wanting to belong. I could feel her hope and her love for the family who had taken her in. I could feel her anxiety over being discovered by the Angel and her terror of being taken again. 

There are scenes of suspense, action and violence. There are trigger warnings where appropriate. There are also descriptive scenes of a sexual nature. They are consenting and they are part of the characters bonding with each other, therefore are necessary to the plot of the story. 

The worldbuilding and descriptions of alien landscapes are vivid and feel realistic. The aliens are not all humanoid in appearance and each species has defining characteristics and abilities which make them unique. Humans are rare and unusual.

Heather Relken is a very talented writer. She clearly has a passion for linguistics and this is evident in her attention to detail when it comes to alien languages. The book contains an index of the alien races, the languages spoken and which existing languages influenced them. The story is well paced and flows beautifully. I didn’t want to put it down. 

Although this is the first book in the series, it is the second one I have read. Each can be read as a standalone. I cannot wait to see what else this author produces. I want more of this universe.

Unyielding Autumn (The Baron's Hand Saga, Book 3) : Heather Relken

An intense, wild ride through alien landscapes. Couldn’t put it down.

This book is the third in a Sci-Fi Romance series by Heather Relken. It is set in a distant galaxy and features humans and alien beings. This book can be read as a stand alone novel. There is some violence and there are scenes of consenting inter-species sexual activity.

Autumn is a human female who wakes in a crowded barn to find herself being auctioned off to alien bidders. She has no recollection of her life prior to that moment. What follows is an escape on foot, almost being eaten by a creature in the throes of blood lust, a cycle of rescues, murders, captures and interplanetary travel. Throughout all of this there is one constant; Equinox, an alien being who has taken it upon himself to help what he believes is a lost, abused and vulnerable mixed breed. 

As Autumn’s memories slowly start to return, she has to come to terms with her new life in unfamiliar settings and the feelings she is developing for the alien who has taken her under his protection. Could this be love? If it is, how would that even work? 

The world building is incredible, with vivid descriptions of alien life forms, planets, customs and languages. The author has a talent for linguistics; there are really well explained language structures and guides and it adds an extra dimension to the story as a whole. 

The book is beautifully written, intense and fast paced. There are scenes which are filled with suspense, action and violence, as well as some scenes of a sexual nature, which are relevant to the plot. I really struggled to put this book down. I can’t wait for the next book.
