Aliens being aliens

Watch Your Orbit by Etta Pierce

July 9, 2025 by LB Leave a Comment

Watch Your Orbit fulfills the “rec’d” square on CBR17 Bingo My good friend Seher is someone whose recommendations I always trust, but I’m not always very quick to pick up the books. Such is the case with Etta Pierce’s Intersolar Union universe, which Seher has been shouting about for over a year, and I finally picked up Watch Your Orbit, which is the first book in the Over the Moon spin-off tie-in where the humans that have been rescued are building a home and community […]

It’s about fated mates who meet during an intergalactic dating show that is also a cooking competition.

Alien Love Games: The Tasty Bake: Sci Fi Alien Romance (Mated to the Bolans Book 2) by Kyra Keys

Double Dirty Mountain Men: An MFM Menage Romance (Get Dirty) by Parker Grey

CBR16 Bingo: Smash These books smash genres (intergalactic alien dating via a cooking reality show) and the characters, ahem, “smash.” If it’s not obvious, I chose these books for their over-the-top titles. Plus, a blue muscled alien in a cooking apron was too wild to pass up. Alien Love Game: The Tasty Bake (Mated to the Bolan #2) By Kyra Keys After her best friend is selected for the reality TV show, “The Alien Love Games,” Cherise decides that maybe she can snag a sexy […]

Love in the stars

Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik

Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik

December 30, 2022 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

I’ve heard only great things about Jessie Mihalik’s books from Cannonball Read. I already had Polaris Rising on my shelf, but I read Hunt the Stars first. Since it was selected by The Ripped Bodice’s fantasy romance book club, it got moved into the rotation. The first Starlight’s Shadow book introduces us to Tavi and her space crew. They are space war veterans who use their skills now as bounty hunters. The war may be over with the Valoffs. However, most humans don’t trust this […]
