She was a salvage operator, patrolling the depths of deep space.He was a professional consort to royalty, built like a Neanderthal. Twice her width and twice her weight, his six-pack abs had six-pack abs. She knew, because she’d seen them. It really was kind of too bad they didn’t get along.Note: Originally published as part of the Alien Alphas anthology, Her Consort is a short, enemies to lovers … a short, enemies to lovers romance. If dominant heroes and kink sex offend you, please don’t purchase this story.

This space sci-fi story is short but cute as well as funny & pantingly sexy.
Take one snarky smart mouth female Captain (Piper) & add one hairy, barrel-chested rescued male alien (Kogan); mix with abstinence for both parties; then bake for 2 years in the finite setting of Piper’s spacecraft.
What would you get once everything comes to a head?
Piper finally comes to the realization that the seriously irritating Kogan is a fiiiine specimen of a male, even if he’s hairy & reminds her of a Neanderthal. But she refuses to admit her feelings to herself or Kogan although her body is doing a fine job of trying to convince her.
And Kogan has been hiding a few things of his own: feelings, his research into all things related to human female sexuality (& darker urges thereof) & exactly why he was where Piper rescued him in space 2 years earlier.
This one moves fast & furious but is laugh out loud funny in places & scorchingly hot in others.
A quick, cute, funny & sizzling romp in the cold dark reaches of space that proves some things between males & females always seem to end up at the same destination even if the routes are different.
I liked this one a lot.
Done pretending
—>>> Review Rating: 3.0 out of 5 stars – When Piper and Kogan find themselves in a really tight spot on a ship she was dead set on salvaging, they find themselves giving in to what they have been keeping from each other for the last two years spent on her ship, culminating in a sizzling union, after they deal with the five-alarm circumstance, that is.
This is a very short story, only takes about an hour to read. Two people are thrown together via circumstances, a human female and an alien. They have chemistry that they refuse to act on for over 2 years, the captain, the female refuses to even acknowledge that there is any chemistry there at all. Then after exploring an alien ship they both let their passion show and that is where the BDSM comes in. There is one very long steamy session that takes up most of the story. It’s a well written short story and the characters are both very likable, a great read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
She found him floating in deep space, with life supports beeping their way down from barely alive to no-longer-compatible-with-life. At the time he was dressed in nothing but his skivvies in a hyper-sleep pod. Two years later Piper had to remind herself that salvaging his pod and waking him up was still the thing to do, especially when most days all she wanted to do was kill him.
Piper was paid by shipping conglomerates to salvage space ships and sweep up any debris that could potentially hurt other ships. The man she rescued? Kogan Pulgoy Vovlov III, Envoy of his home world, Hogluopraeswyria. Consort in-waiting to Her Royal Ambassador, Agi Oof’Thal, currently assigned to Earth. So why was he in a space pod heading back to him home planet?
Their banter and antagonism towards each other only seem to bring the sexual tension higher and higher until a mission brought things to a head. The anger, frustration and sexual tension came to a head and Kogan, who had read enough earthly porn to take things to a new level, took charge of the situation and declared himself Consort to Piper Jamison, daughter of Bill and Mary Jamison, and deep space scavenger.
This sexy, quick read was a unique genre for me. I don’t normally veer into space travel, but if I could run into something like this, then doing so just jumped towards the top of my todo list.

Piper can’t stand her consort Korgan. What?!? There is a thin line between pain and pleasure and love and hate. These lines become blurred in this interesting read.

This is a sci-fi story about a woman who is scavenger of other ships and has allowed an alien man to join her when he was in need of transport. But he has been with her for 2 years. She appears to detest the well built, yet short, alien, and constantly flings insults at him. Despite this, he is protective of her and simply scolds her for her slander. But is she just disguising her sexual attraction to him with her barbs, or does she truly detest him? It is a short story, but you quickly become involved in their relationship to one another.

This short read includes aspects of BSDM. The story and characters left something to be desired. Perhaps with some work, it could be ok.

I love quick and steamy reads. Piper rescued Kogan’s pod 2 years ago and she is kicking herself daily for that act of kindness. Kogan is a rejected consort making his way back to his home planet via a life pod. They can’t stand each other until one salvage trip later and they are all over each other.
I love the banter between the two and Piper’s use of human colloquiums that boggle Kogan’s mind. They constantly poke at each other with highly charged sexual tension between them. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!!!
Piper was a salvage of empty abandoned Alien space ships. She found Kogan floating in a hyper-sleep escape pod. He was dressed in nothing but his skivvies. It’s been two years since Piper found him and they are getting ready to scavenge an Ocymit ship. Being together for two years was very sexually frustrating but neither one of them would make the first move. Until …………. This was a HEA but so short that the book was over before you could blink. If you want a super fast read, like all of twenty minutes this is the book for you. I gave this a four star only because when the book started to get really good it was over.

This is a quick story filled with a lot of tension between the two main characters. Well, the two characters period. The tension is super good and it is seriously thick enough to cut with a knife at points. I love it.
Piper, a human salvage operator, once rescued someone, and now she’s stuck with him. Kogan is a rejected consort who was sent back to his own planet in a life pod, but got rescued by Piper. Now, years later, they are still together.
I love how Piper and Kogan interact at the beginning of the story. They just pick and poke at each other. The sexual tension underneath everything is just so obvious and such a delight to read. When you only have two characters, you really have to make sure that there is a great connection between the characters, and that’s what Maren Smith did. Fantastic story.
Two people on a space mission to recover wrecked ships supposedly cannot stand each other. The dialogue was annoying to me. He has read all of these books about being a dom. After exploring one ship which is booby trapped they have explosive hot sex. If all you want is a scene of hot sex this might do it for you.

This is very fun, quirky and steamy read. It was originally in the Alien Alpha’s anthology and if you didn’t grab that whilst it was available then you really should get hold of this asap.
I loved the heroine, Piper. She said it like it was and had a sarcastic streak a mile wide. I laughed so many times at things she said or thought, I definitely felt a connection to her.
The book is written entirely from her POV but as the story progresses you do get a good feel for Kogan, the hero, too. He’s a little short, somewhat sneakily clever and a whole lot kinky.
For a fairly quick read, this book provides a huge amount of entertainment and actually felt like more than a segue into a sex scene. I’d love to see more of this full of snark and banter couple.
A quick read saucy read about a captain and her consort!

This was a quick science fiction read about a woman who rescues a man she found barely alive in an escape pod and together they salvage old ships and space debris. For two years Piper had put up with Kogan and her constant shatter until she had had enough, in that instant Kogan took charge of their relationship, making him her Consort and lover, a relationship that he intended to continue. I was disappointed when this book ended abruptly the next morning after a night of explosive lovemaking. I can only hope this is only a prequel to a new series of adventures between these two lovers.
