I enjoyed reading Space Opera romance novel Explode: Team Supernova by Teresa Noelle Roberts. It is bk #2 in an anthology series titled The Great Space Race. The series features 2 member space racing teams, randomly assigned together, as they attempt to complete crazy and life threatening challenges in a timed long-distance course for viewers entertainment. Each book highlights a different team and their growing relationship and near-death struggles as they begin at planet Primaera in the Central Alliance sector then race across the Paragon galaxy. Explode was creative, fun, fast-moving and had plenty of steam! I look forward to the next title in the series. (My E version had various technical issues - mixed up words in a sentence, or missing/incorrect words - but it didn’t diminish my enjoyment).
Team:Supernova Contestants -
FMC/Sarr’Ma Settazz is an energetic female Mrrwr’wrn (a feline specie) from the planet Mrrwr in the Milky Way galaxy. Mrrwr’wrn are compactly built (quite petite); considered sexually attractive by other species with large, bright eyes, pointy ears, long fluffy tails, plush velvety skin and athletically flexible bodies. They are naturally curious, adventurous and thought to be harmless. In reality on their planet mrrwr’wrn are apex predators and obligate carnivores - equipped with tails for excellent balance and a hunter’s primal instincts. Mrrwr’wrn are potentially lethal, not hesitating to use their claws and fangs when threatened. Sarr’Ma is also trained in martial arts and is confidently competent in casual hand-to-hand skirmishes. Professionally, Sarr’Ma is a top-notch pilot who has been building her reputation by racing competitively and occasionally winning. Sarr’Ma designed, owns and operates her own personalized space racer. Finding it advantageous to be underestimated whenever possible Sarr’Ma remains quiet about both her on-going education in astrophysics engineering and her intuitive ability to understand complex, obscure technology. Confident regarding her physical, flying, and technical abilities, Sarr’Ma entered the space race to win - for adventure, glory and the prize.
MMC/Tripp Gallifer is a human - large and muscular, cool-headed, seriously focused miner from the impoverished planet Nieves, a planet residing in the corrupt Meridian Corporation Sector of the Paragon galaxy. Tripp was forced to compete in the race when his sister Zel was abducted and taken to a secure compound by the sadistic son of the powerful and corrupt Meridian Corp founder. Desperate for a way to free Zel, Tripp entered to not only compete but to complete the race a million credits richer. Hopefully, he can then ransom his sister. If Tripp loses, she remains a captive slave and Tripp will undoubtedly be killed. Tripp has no racing experience and fears his newly acquired diminutive feline partner, Sarr’Ma, is spunky, fun, sexy and attractive rather than fiercely competitive. Will her racing expertise and his determination and desperation be enough to win the necessary challenge points? Tripp is nearly sickened by the thought of failure.
I enjoyed Explode: Team Supernova. It read quickly, kept my attention, and I became invested in the characters battles and difficulties. I wanted them to be among the survivors and whoop the Bad Guys at their own twisted game. I recommend Explode and The Great Space Race series to readers of light sci-fi/Space Opera romance, fantasy-shifter romance novels, readers of “Opposites Attract” and “Us against the World” tropes, and those who enjoy light, action-oriented HEAs with a fair amount of steam. Explode could be read as a standalone title but I have purchased and look forward to reading the next book in the series Flare: Team Corona by JC Hay.
Reader Cautions -
Violence - Not really. Similar to Star Trek Next Gen or other PG/PG-13 sci-fi. The younger sister of the main male character is a woman kidnapped and used for sex purposes. She is mentioned as the reason Tripp is participating in the race. Zel is very minimally in the story (the concluding chapters) but mention of the topic may be a trigger for some readers.
Profanity - Yes. Strong language occasionally (10+/-). But mostly the characters say oaths “stars!” or “marlings!” from Sarr’Ma’s home planet.
Sexual situations - Yes. Steamy, adventurous sexual intimacy occurs or is discussed frankly in the latter half of the book.
*Due to such content, IMO Explode: Team Supernova is not suitable for young readers and those who prefer Clean fiction may prefer to go elsewhere.

I enjoyed this book except for the multiple grammar and sentence structuring errors. This story was riveting; even more towards the end! A lot of sex, yet no swearing as it is in alien language. With the proper editing (not just spell check), this novel could be awesome.
