The Starfall Accord is this site's own book, written by Sera Voss.
Every other book named here belongs to its own author, and none of those mentions is paid, sponsored, or an affiliate link.
It has no reader reviews yet because it has not launched, so the free opening chapters are the fairest test.
Lindsay Buroker, Anna Hackett and Michelle Diener all publish independently in this genre.
They rarely say whether a first book stands alone, whether the world building demands a wiki, or how explicit the romance gets before you have paid for it.
The Starfall Accord answers all three before you buy.
Book 1 is a complete story with the whole romance settled inside it, and the setting is small enough to follow from page one.
And every intimate scene happens off the page.
It is one book in EPUB and PDF, which you can send to a Kindle, not a trilogy you have to commit to before you know.
