Lois McMaster Bujold's Captain Vorpatril's Alliance
After the last couple books showed Cousin Ivan being bummed that all his friends are getting married, I was psyched to start this one and realize it was a romance for him. I mean, still an action-packed scifi romance, as he gets tangled up with a girl on the run from a dangerous planet (and her blue-skinned sister). (Side note: I dislike that the official description of this book is like "will he give up his bachelor lifestyle????" when several books have made it clear that he WANTS to give it up!) This is a little bit of a spoiler (because I almost squealed when it happened) but also it’s a selling point : fake marriage trope, yall! So many great funny moments and surprises in this one. A.
