Sci-Fi Romance discussion

It might be kind of hard, but I thought it might be fun to give aliens and/or alien planets their own thread. Feel free to recommend books, and discuss books that think you'd like to read.

Here's my list that of books that I'd really like to read sooner rather than later:

I am fond of aliens being one of the main characters in an SFR. Some I really liked are: and the Cat Star Chronicals by Cheryl Brooks . I'm sure there are plenty of others that I can't thing of right now.

I would definitely recommend the Sirantha Jax series, SO good!

I recently read Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind by Karen Kelley. It was a really fun, sexy read. The heroine is from a planet with only females (their males are robots) and her only real info on Earth is from a porno movie and some notes from her grandmother who had visited Earth many years ago. Really funny read.

Great suggestions everybody! My "to buy" list just keeps on growing, and growing, and growing.......

I have only read two book series that involved aliens

I just read this weekend and they visit all sorts of different planets. This has an Australian bent to it too which I like.

What about Lord of the Storm and The Skypirate by Justine Davis?

Oh, I love alien heroes! <3

I read Being with Him from Jessica Inclan not too long ago, and I thought it was an interesting, unique take on the humans-discovering-an-alien-heritage theme, sort of like an adult Roswell, except with more of a serene tone. It's less on the science, more on the otherworldly, and written differently than a lot of romance, more intimate, since much of it takes place with the couple alone. Don't worry, it's not erotic as the cover implies, LOL!

Oh, I almost forgot. Doesn't Gabriel's Ghost count?

For me the most realistic aliens were in the Stardoc series. I'll keep thinking on the subject.

I should say, the most realistic nonhumanoid aliens.

I haven't read that many books with aliens but here is my favorite so far.

Deidre Knight's Midnight Warriors series.

Some stand alone ebooks I've read with hot aliens:



and the series is also excellent.

Stardoc for sure, Julie Czerneda's books (reap the wild wind, riders of the storm, rift in the sky) as well as her other two series (my favorites were the Esen books) (Beholder's eye, changing vision, hidden in sight) and her species imperative series.

I read the Diedre Knight series too and really liked them.

Michelle Pillow's books are fun.
Hearts and Souls Series by Angela Verdenius

I was just coming on to suggest Michelle Pillow.



These all have a lot of sex in them so bewarned if that's not your thing.


There's also:

Well, if I could suggest ;) some books a really enjoy: Laurann Dohner (Zorn Warriors and Cyborg seduction series), Evangeline Anderson (Charlie's BargainPlanet XClaimed) and few others...

I've read a couple of books with aliens, but so far none really stood out as great, except for the Sirantha Jax books.


this one is a real guilty pleasure one of mine. It's weird and wacko, and kind of she-hulk, but I still kinda enjoyed it :p

Of the previously mentioned Cat Star Chronicles, I liked the 4th installment best, very emotional and gripping.

OMG, Vel is so dreamy for a bug in Sirantha Jax.

I love Vel :D

There should be a Vel fan club, LOL.

Kaitlynn O'connor's books should get a mention in here. :)

Author M.K. Eidem has good books , , ,

These look fun!

I would agree with the Angela Verdenius series as well...interesting universe with fun returning characters

Angela Verdenius series one of my all time favorites!

I really like to read about planets with creative and original natural environments. I would love to hear some recommendations about otherworldly worlds. Here are a few of mine:

Like caguas1947 above, I thought Demon Slave had an interesting winter planet.

I liked the unfurling/unfolding trees (with the accompanying sounds) in Eden.

I recently read a fantasy book that had Earth and a stunningly different dimension (can that be considered sci-fi?): Krymzyn.

Oooh, those sound interesting, Celestine! It's so great to see original, really exploratory world-building.

Hi Celestine,

I recently read The Trader - Man with No Face and was very impressed with it. Most of the story takes place on an alien planet. It describes in a unique way the planet and the creatures that inhabit the planet. I thought the author did a great job at building an alien world and culture.

Thanks, Jen. That book sounds unique....and a little cruel and creepy. It will be interesting to see how the romance wraps around the story.

It is a little creepy, but fits into the story well. The plot of the story does not focus on the romance, but on the experiences of the hero and heroine. They cross paths a few times, saving each other and they end up together at the end. The book does not completely resolve, hinting that there will be a sequel. I imagine that the sequel will explore the romance even more. I really enjoyed the story.
