These days, romance books include characters from all over the world, but notably, some series have a particular focus on the aliens and beings who live far beyond earth. The alien romance genre is one that has gained serious popularity in recent years. Generally, these highly anticipated romance books tell the stories of young women who are taken to space and come face-to-face with the impossible: aliens. Yet, they realize that perhaps these otherworldly creatures are not as bad as they originally seemed. From there, sweet and steamy bonds form between the protagonist and her alien love interest.
