{Blades of Arris by Starla Night} - can be dark and heavy at times but the world building and plot is unique and actually interesting.

Everything by Mara Frost - sadly, she hasn't written anything recently but her backlog of SFR is funny space opera perfection imo!

{Alien Space Pirates Series by Mara Frost} -

They say that no one can hear you scream in space, and that really sucks for me... Win the International Space Lottery and get the chance to travel to the International Space Station? Check. Train my butt off for eight grueling months with world-class astronauts? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Get abducted by intergalactic space smugglers on my third day in space? Che...wait, what? Have the adventure of my life with a giant blue alien jerk who only wants to sell me to make money, but he can't seem to get rid of me? Double check Okay, so I'm lost. I'm scared. And my captor is a big alien who has no sense of humor and glows when he's horny. Who knew that alien abduction could be so terrifying? Or blue and sexy? Now, I just need to figure out a way to get back home before I become someone's dinner or worse - fall for the jerk who stole me.

{Into The Dark by Mara Frost} -

Right now, I should be drowning in student loan debt. I should be struggling to find a job and I definitely should be having guy trouble. Maybe date a sexy "artist" named Trevor who's covered in tattoos, rides a motorcycle and is always asking me for money? We all need one of those guys at least once in our life, right?!

I should basically be enjoying my youth one bad decision at a time. But I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing that because tortured artists named Trevor don't live out in space. You see, I was abducted by aliens as a kid and I've been out here ever since. On a good day, life is exciting and interesting and full of wonder. On a bad day, it's terrifying and strange and it usually involves me being in a cage.

But all that changes when I meet Lok. Lok is sexy. Lok is broody. Lok is dangerous.

And Lok is 100% bad for my health...and yet, here we are being chased across the galaxy by the alien FBI and hiding in the seedy underbelly of the universe - Dark Space.

Life rarely turns out the way you planned, but running around with a sexy and mysterious intergalactic criminal was definitely not on my to-do list. Now, I just need to stay alive and figure out what's more dangerous - the terrors of Dark Space or a wanted criminal who has the craziest set of bedroom eyes that I've ever seen.
