Let me set this up by saying that waaaaay back in the olden days (the '90s), there was a short-lived TV show about the astronauts at Kennedy Space Center. I was going through my NASA phase, as one does, and I devoured the show. Sadly, it didn't last longer than a season, and I have grieved its loss ever since.
So imagine my delight when I discovered Sara L. Hudson's Space Series—it's set in Houston, not Cape Canaveral, but eh, potatoes, po-tah-toes for this space-loving girl. And even better, they're SPICY, which is way more than I can say for the poor one-season wonder of my youth.
I just loved the series. It's a lot of fun, and being set in Houston gives lots of opportunities for not only astronaut hijinks, but also some cowboy shenanigans, too. The MCs are well written, relatable, hilarious, and definitely the kind of people I'd be friends with. The women are smart and strong and independent, and their men are absolute suckers for them ... in several ways. ;)
If you're looking for smart AND spicy, the Space Series is for you!
