I’ve enjoyed sci-fi romance for a long time, and I wish there were more NY publishers publishing this genre. Here are some of my favorite reads.
1. Contact by Susan Grant.
2. Ravyn’s Flight by Patti O’Shea.
3. Too Close to the Sun by Robin T. Popp.
4. The Ties That Bind Us by Christine d’Abo. I’d like to read another - no pressure or anything, Christine 
5. Stardoc by SL Viehl - this isn’t really a romance but it’s the first book in an amazing series. There is a romantic subplot.
6. Unmasked by CJ Barry.
7. Overnight Alien by Robin Rotham. Ms. Robin - another please 
8. Tripping through the Universe - anthology including a story by me!
9. Planet X by Evangeline Anderson. I’m pretty sure this one won a RT Reviewers’ Choice award.
10. Ghosthunter by Jayne Castle. Some people might argue this isn’t sci-fi but I’m putting it in my list. I love the cover.
11. Hold by Zannie Adams. I read this book recently. Zannie is a wonderful writer.
12. Stranded by Shelley Munro - part of the No Holes Barred anthology. Here’s the link for the print version.
13. Romancing the Alien by Shelley Munro - you didn’t think I’d leave off my talking dogs books, did you? An anthology featuring Talking Dogs, Aliens and Purple People Eaters and Never Send a Dog to do a Woman’s Job. My first two EC books. Talking Dogs finalled in the Eppies and won an eCataromance Reviewers’ chocie award. Both scored great reviews. Yeah, you definitely should check them out
Does anyone else have other recommendations? I know I haven’t mentioned Linnea Sinclair’s or Michelle Pillow’s books. They’re both worth looking at if you enjoy sci-fi romances.

This does it. I’m NEVER going to be caught up on all these books I want to get my hands on. Never.
But man, I’m going to die trying. Or go blind. But even then, there are audio books!
Happy TT!
by Susan Helene Gottfried November 28th, 2007 at 8:24 pmNot sci-fi, but I did enjoy a ‘quickie’ last night - Curse of Brandon Lupinus - by Shelley Munro!!!!
by Christina Phillips November 28th, 2007 at 8:55 pmLOL Susan. I know the feeling!
Christina - Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed Curse of Brandon Lupinus.
by Shelley Munro November 28th, 2007 at 9:29 pmI’ve only read a few of these! But I’ll take your recommends and start piling onto the TBR.
by Wylie November 28th, 2007 at 10:34 pmI recently found Zannie Adams too. Isn’t she great?
And have you read EC’s The Claiming of Moira Shine by MA Everaux? It is awesome. Seriously. Get it. Now.
Wylie, no I haven’t. I’ll add MA Everaux’s book to my list
by Shelley Munro November 29th, 2007 at 1:45 amThose are great reads!
by Tempest Knight November 29th, 2007 at 5:02 amYou so totally rock! I have book two coming out in the series spring 2008 and book three is almost done.
And I have Romancing the Alien on my TBR pile. I can’t wait to get to it.
by Christine d'Abo November 29th, 2007 at 6:38 amCool list, I’ll have to check them out. I did a book list TT, too. Happy TT.
by Ann November 29th, 2007 at 9:03 amI think it’s hella cool that you read other authors and support them. That in itself is unusual. Good for you for working to create more harmony.
Happy TT.
by Open Grove Claudia November 29th, 2007 at 9:11 amLois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan series. Like Stardoc, it has romance subplots, and Cordelia’s Honor has a pretty big one. Wen Spencer’s Tinker and the sequel Wolf Who Rules are sorta SciFi as well. The heroine runs a junk jard, how’s that for unusual?
by Gabriele November 29th, 2007 at 9:58 amGreat list! Some of my favorites. I’ve been wanting to read Hold but I haven’t yet. Now, I’ll have to get it.
by LA Day November 29th, 2007 at 11:10 amChristine - you’re very welcome. I’m glad to hear I won’t have to wait long for my next fix.
Ann - there can never be too many books on my wishlist. I’m off to check out your list.
Claudia - Thanks for visiting. I love books. It’s no hardship to talk about anyone’s books
Gabriele - thanks! The junkyard one sounds fascinating.
LA - I didn’t mention the Hunters for Hire series. I’ve been meaning to check out your book. It’s already on my list
by Shelley Munro November 29th, 2007 at 11:25 amI won’t brag but I’m Christine’s Beta reader and I don’t blame you for wanting the next two in her series. I read two in it’s early stage (I read it after the edits for even more surprises) and it’s HAWT.
So was Alien Overnight. I have been nagging Robin for the sequel to that.
And I am so glad you added another one of my favorites. Romancing the Alien. I am almost done it and I love it. That dog is freaking hilarious.
by Amy Ruttan November 29th, 2007 at 12:18 pmOkay so I bragged a bit about being her Beta reader!
LOL!
by Amy Ruttan November 29th, 2007 at 12:18 pmI have to admit I haven’t read any of them but I’m keeping the list to add the books to my wishlist.
Happy TT.
by pussreboots November 29th, 2007 at 3:16 pmRobin’s is on my list.
by Jennifer McKenzie November 29th, 2007 at 9:31 pmI love Patti O’Shea. Have you read “Eternal Nights”? Awesome book.
Oh, I have a Sci Fi Erotic coming out soon from Liquid Silver. Since you like Sci Fi and all.
LOL Amy.
Hi Pussreboots - they’re all good reads. You can’t go wrong.
Jennifer - I’ll watch for your book. Yes, I’ve read Eternal Nights. I enjoy Patti’s sci-fi romances.
by Shelley Munro November 30th, 2007 at 1:32 amI haven’t read much SF in the last few years. You make me want to.
by Alice Audrey December 1st, 2007 at 10:41 amLinnea Sinclair! She’s great!
