Who Would Like This Book:
If you’re in the mood for steamy sci-fi romance featuring strong, silver-skinned alien warriors and capable human heroines, Dark Planet Warriors definitely delivers. The story kicks off with tons of action, builds a vibrant universe, and the romance simmers alongside high-stakes battles. Fans of authors like Laurann Dohner and Grace Goodwin will probably binge this addictive, interconnected series. If you like the idea of each book focusing on a new couple (with the original pairing popping up throughout), rich world-building, and plots that span multiple books, this is your kind of read.
Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers felt the main characters lacked depth or that their romance developed a bit too quickly, so if you prefer slow-burn relationships or highly nuanced character arcs, this might not totally hit the mark. There’s also a mix of action and romance - so those who want pure sci-fi or just extra-spicy content may wish for a different balance. And, the recurring focus on certain main couples across multiple books isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Book 1 of the Dark Planet Warriors Series
Abbey
Some scary looking aliens have just boarded Fortuna Tau, our little asteroid mining station. Kordolians, by the looks of things. What the hell do they want with this floating rust bucket? What are they even doing here?
Come to think of it, I've never seen a Kordolian up close before. They're huge and intimidating, with strange silver skin and pointed ears. They have freaky nano-armor, and they're packing a serious arsenal. We stand no chance against them.
When I encounter their General, I find him insufferable. Arrogant. Domineering. He won't tell me anything. I guess that's what happens when your race is kicking ass across the Nine Galaxies. You get pigheaded.
So why do I keep running into him? Why does he keep looking at me like that? And what's with this weird feeling I get when he's around?
Tarak
Sucked into a wormhole during a fierce skirmish with an enemy ship. Spat out near a human mining station in a remote corner of the Nine Galaxies. Stuck with weak humans who operate with inferior metals and technology.
This mission couldn't get any worse.
We need to fix our craft, kill the cursed Xargek, and get out of here before the wormhole collapses. I don't really care about these humans. Their existence makes no sense to me.
So why has this strange human female captured my attention? She's messy, awkward, and she babbles nonsense half the time. These humans are crazy. I don't understand them at all, especially this female. Why do I keep coming back to her?
I need to leave this place before I go insane.
Warning: This book contains swearing, violence and steamy sex scenes. It's recommended for readers aged 18 and over.

I have to admit, this book surprised me! I liked it a lot, the world is interesting, the characters are engaging, and the romance is not over the top. I will surely read the following instalments (book 4 is the next one, in case you're wondering).
It was ok but not great or at least not enough for me to continue series...
This book was really light on the plot and heavy on the romance, but I get the feeling it is really meant to be told as a serial across all the books in the series. And in any case, my brain was looking for a mental-vacation book, and this fit the bill.
If you're looking for something sweet, light, and uncomplicated, this will do nicely.
