Aliens-need-brides is a popular sci-fi romance trope that can be a bit predictable. In a fun change up, Tamsin Ley's Arazhi features a shape-changing prince and 'lost in translation' confusion that turns a charity date auction into a marriage auction. Throw in some dangerous assassins and an alien world for a fast-paced, fun read. This alien bought a... Continue Reading →
One of sci-fi romance's most common tropes is the alien that loves me where the me is human. In a nice change up on the trope, Cara Bristol's Genmate Dilemma Trilogy features main characters that are not only alien, but alien to each other--as in from different planets.

Thorrn only travelled to Earth to find women compatible with his species, even though he expects to stay alone for the rest of... Continue Reading →
In Badari Gladiators a spin-off of her highly-rated Badari Warriors series, Veronica Scott has combined two of my favorite alpha-heroes; aliens and gladiators. And, as with all Ms. Scott's books, her heroine's do their fair sharing of rescuing and battling villains. Kyden is the top ranked gladiator in the Five Systems but he’s hardly there by choice. Unscrupulous guards faked his... Continue Reading →
For my last Spotlight of 2021, I'm revisiting a handful of favorites from the past year.
