Binge-worthy book series: “Star Marked Warriors” by Sam Burns and W.M. Fawkes.

Hunky alien warriors kidnap earthlings to harvest their DNA and save their race. No sex is necessary, but things get weirdly complicated when some of the warriors fall for some of the earthmen, and strange things happen.

It starts with “Captured:” Lucas is stuck in a minimum wage job as a barista because what use is a history degree. His boyfriend left him, is about to be married, and he took their cat. Could his life get any worse? Somehow, “kidnapped by aliens” never even figured as a possible answer to that question. The aliens are big, blue, and very buff. And, one of them seems to have taken a liking to Lucas.

@michaeljoseph I really hope they continue this series. Finding series that have gay romance as part of a larger genre like sci-fi is hard, and makes me want more that much more.

I have had this image in my head, of some of the humans trying for their own star marks, only to find that the aliens are just really susceptible to heat and UV. They sit in the sun and tan, while the aliens moan and sizzle like bacon. Unlikely, but a funny thought.

@MontgomeryGator Have you read Mel Keegan's Hellgate series? It's sort of pulp sci-fi space opera with a male pair at it's center. He also wrote "More Than Human" which is also sci-fi and has a story which parallel's today's anti-trans politics, although it's ten years old.
