Games of Command, by Linnea Sinclair
Linnea Sinclair is the queen of sci-fi romance with impeccable world-building, technology, and character development. Games of Command is packed with two romances between members of a spaceship. Biocybe (think human with cyborg parts) Admiral Branden Kel-Paten and Captain Tasha “Sass” Sebastian were enemies, now forced to work together. Sass is also desperately trying to hide her past as a smuggler from Braden. To make matters worse, the ship picks up an injured mercenary, Jace Serafino, who knows Sass’ secrets rather well. Throw in empathetic Dr. Eden Fynn to care for Jace and four is way more than a crowd.

Radio Silence, by Alyssa Cole
Science fiction-lite with Earth on the verge of a post-apocalyptic meltdown, Radio Silence doesn’t fall into the category with far away galaxies and spaceships. Instead, a group of people find solace in a cabin after everything seems to shut down. Arden Highmore and her roommate John team up together, but when a band of scavengers attack their sanctuary, it’s John’s brother, Gabriel, who comes to the rescue. With Arden and Gabriel adopting an antagonistic relationship fraught with sexual tension, it’s hard to tell if they’ll survive or kill each other first.

Ashwin, by Kit Rocha
Ashwin is a sci-fi dystopian romance between a super-soldier designed not to feel emotions and a doctor helping the enemy. Lieutenant Ashwin Malhotra and Dr. Kora Bellamy have a history. Kora was the handler who cared for him, until she left for Sector One and joined Gideon’s Riders, a band of Robin Hood-esque warriors. Ashwin is sent to infiltrate the Riders, sending a shock to Kora. She never expected to see him again. As Ashwin begins to realize he’s not as emotionless as he was created to be, there’s no way he can betray the one woman who finally made him see that he has a heart.
Undercover, by Lauren Dane
For readers who prefer their science fiction romance more on the erotic side, Undercover can scratch that itch with a menage romance between three complicated individuals. Lieutenant Sera Ayers has been called to join Ash Walker’s covert operations team. Unfortunately, he’s also her former lover, a romance that ended badly when Ash submitted to a political marriage and Sera refused to become his mistress. Brandt Pela is another integral addition to the team since Brandt and Sera have to go undercover as lovers. And of course, the three’s mission becomes more complicated once feelings get involved.
