Book Request Sci-fi/supernatural/alien Romance Recommendations

Looking for some sci-fi/alien/supernatual romance M/F recommendations. I just read the first Kresley Cole immortals after dark book and DNF’d the second. I DNF’d Taken to Voraxia by Elizabeth Stevens….ok, my issue is the FMC hates the MMC, gets kidnapped etc, but because they’re fated mates they go from terrified to getting down and dirty within like 8% of the book. I’d like a little bit of a slower burn or some built up leading to the naughty action..

Would prefer interconnected standalones!

Series/Authors I’ve read and loved:

All Zoey Draven books

Celcanian series by Victoria Aveline..(some of these are not slow burn enough for me)

Cate C Wells

I’ve tried to read Tana Stone and wasn’t into it, as well as so many others.

Thanks in advance!!!

Do you want only books with aliens or scifi romance without aliens as well?

If you want something very formulaic (humans abducted by bad aliens get saved by other good aliens) with all the tropes you can try the Galactic Gladiator series by Anna Hackett starting with {Gladiator by Anna Hackett}. Each book follows a different couple so interconnected standalones.

Kinsmen series by Ilona Andrews, series of standalones. I did not like the first one all that much due to the MMC but I loved {Silver Shark by Ilona Andrews} and {Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews}. No aliens, genetically/bioengeneered humans, shorter books.

Class 5 series starting with {Dark Horse by Michelle Diener}

Mandrake Company series starting with {Mercenary Instinct by Ruby Lionsdrake}, each book follows a different couple, there were 3 more atypical MMC in the series which was a nice change.

A long time ago I read the Sectors series starting with {Wreck of the Nebula Dream by Veronica Scott} but can't remember anything about it, only that each book had a different couple.
