Michael Dalton weaves a surprisingly tender tale of love, loss, and the emotional bridge between humanity and artificial intelligence. eGirl Selena, an advanced lifelike fembot, enters the life of a grieving widower and his three children—and slowly begins to heal what was broken.
It’s a gentle romance wrapped in sci-fi skin, with heart where it counts most.
👉 If you like your androids seductive and soulful, I’ve got fembots waiting for you in both Tremayne and the Prospector Finch Trilogy.
I get cold every time I read Misty Vixen’s A Warm Place series—and I mean that as a compliment. Book 3 continues the post-apocalyptic journey with Chris and his companions arriving at Pine Ridge, only to discover devastation and difficult choices. Chris’s generosity creates some strong drama, even if it felt a little out of character.
The emotional tension is real, especially when some women he risked his life for choose to stay behind. It’s raw, it’s human—and that’s what makes it work.
👉 A Warm Place is a long, immersive ride. My Merchant Zayed series isn’t quite as long—yet. But I’m not planning to stop any time soon.
Young Ryan gets passed around more than a tech manual on a starship—though let’s be honest, no one’s asking him to fix the reactor. The mercenary crew known as the Hellcats enjoy his company in every sense, from luxury resorts to dark clubs to the deepest corners of their ship… Well, you get the picture.
Aln unapologetic parade of heat. Not for plot seekers—but if you’re looking for something with a bit more narrative (and still plenty of spice), Misty Vixen has you covered.
Usually, I’m not a big fan of isekai (falling through a hole into another world). I prefer my stories in our world, or history. I don’t mind adding wizardry or sci-fi. But I like Michael Dalton’s books, so I started The Scarlet Cavern.
Cute and kickass women who form his harem are great. The legend of Makalang unfolds at a good pace that keeps you reading.
And I really like it when an author’s world building involves new words and expressions. Michael Dalton delivers.
Victor Wolfe sets out in search of monster girls—and because this is Misty Vixen, he finds them. What follows is a warm, wild, and wildly sexy tale of adventure and acceptance. From feisty flirty scenes to sweet relationship beats, this is classic Vixen: monster girls, emotional growth, and a harem that feels like home.
The way her characters truly see and support one another makes you wonder: what’s more fantastical—the monster girls, or the kindness?
👉 That spirit of care and connection? Merchant Zayed offers his harem companions just the same.
Amazonian’s Love is a science fiction erotic romance trilogy about a genetically engineered Amazonian warrior woman named Paige and a young hacker named Ethan. Paige is a skilled thief who works for herself, but she’s running into more and more trouble lately and realizes that she needs to take on a partner. Ethan is good at his tech skills, but he’s also in debt and desperate for money. When Paige offers him a job, he’s hesitant at first, but he eventually agrees.
Their attraction is immediate, but they are worried about getting together. They’re both convinced that the other will have no interest in them. Paige is worried that Ethan will be intimidated by her size and strength, while Ethan is afraid that Paige will see him as a weakling.
You know what happens next 🙂
Vintage Misty Vixen with a tall Amazon and a regular guy. And a steamy visit by yet another Amazon.
👉 Love the science fiction angle? The Prospector Finch Trilogy blends future tech with historical chaos for a ride that’s just as wild.
A delightfully spicy homage to John Carter of Mars, this tale has Edgar Rice Burroughs’ spirit—and Marilyn Foxworthy’s sensual flair. Her knack for inventing languages gives this Martian world a rich, immersive feel, just like in her Cave Girl series.
Though the harem dynamic isn’t as sprawling here, the women shine with individuality and warmth. A nostalgic, pulpy adventure with modern heat.
Marilyn Foxworthy is one of my favorite harem/polyamorous writers. And this is a fine example of why she is.
👉 I love this story’s old-fashioned vibe. Tremayne gives it a roaring space-age twist of its own.
From the blurb: “Jimmy Kaplan has a hard enough time staying on top of his graduate studies in Chemical Engineering and dealing with the death of his quirky, cantankerous grandmother, who raised him from childhood.”
Jimmy Kaplan is juggling graduate studies and grief—until his late, quirky grandmother’s secret life as a sorceress flips his world upside down. Blending chemical engineering with spellcraft, Jimmy steps into a lighthearted occult world filled with demons, desire, and academic chaos. It’s campus life with conjurations and curves.
The harem dynamic is believable and fun, with the women connecting not just to Jimmy but to each other. Dalton makes it sing with a wink and a flame.
👉 For a similarly diverse (and steamy) companion ensemble, Prospector Finch has you covered.
This is a 10-tweet relay story that @FloorKist_SciFi and I wrote.
Enjoy!
There is a sad joke about a man who visits the doctor. He says he’s terribly sad. The doctor suggests he go to the circus: ‘”Mancini the Clown is the funniest guy ever. He’s sure to brighten your day!” The sad man looks at the doctor and replies: “I am Mancini the Clown.”
For Marisa, this was the reason to start her research on ‘kindness’. Why are people kind? Does kindness matter? And why does it matter?
She already wrote a paper on the ‘negativity bias’ that makes people remember negative events and feelings more acutely than positive ones.
This leads to a ‘kindness gap’ where people underestimate how much others enjoy our company.
In her study she already discovered that participants consistently misjudge how much their conversation partners liked them. Surveys after each chat, long or short, showed this gap.
Once she showed the participants her results, they were astonished.
A paper found that being kind to others also improves our own well-being. So, why don’t we act in ways that make us feel better? Apparently, people don’t often recognize the power of those acts on others.
Instead, people tend to focus on the value of the thing they’re giving, say a cup of coffee.
Where at Christmas, “It’s the thought that counts” means you didn’t like the present, in kindness it truly is the act itself that matters: a thank-you mail or a compliment on shoes.
Another example Marisa found is power of the surprise. When checking in with a friend with a text, for example, the recipients are happy someone is thinking about them. The reason people hesitate sending them is because they don’t want to impose or create an obligation.
Then again no one criticizes a kind text they weren’t expecting. Marisa’s research has already helped her be less self-conscious. She’s stopped assuming people won’t accept her. Instead, she now accepts others more readily, and notices that works both ways. No surprise there!
In the movie “A Fish Called Wanda” the main character explains what it’s like to be English: “Being so correct all the time? Being so stifled by this dread of doing the wrong thing?”
Don’t let negativity bias stop you showing you care for others with small, kind gestures.
