Delroi Connection

The Delroi Connection by Loribelle Hunt is a series of novellas set in Earth's future. The Delroi are a race of aliens who believe they have one soul mate. The problem is, many more male children are born on their planet than female children so finding that mate doesn't always happen. Their seers have said they will find the mates of many of their people on Earth, so the Delori set off to conquer the planet.

In Invasion Earth (Delroi Connection) Laney is a leader of the resistance fighting the Delroi invasion and Alrik is leading the invasion with his brother, who is the leader of the warrior caste of Delroi. The story opens with the last battle and the ensuing surrender of the Earth to prevent the use of a doomsday device. Part of the surrender conditions is that Laney will marry Alrik. The sparks fly when these two enemies soon to be spouses meet.

In Leaving Earth (Delroi Connection) Kendall travels to Delroi to help deliver Laney's baby and is soon caught up in a romance with Alrik's brother Daggar, the warrior Overchief.

In Stolen Earth Britt, who had traveled with Kendall to Delroi, heads to the south lands to rescue Barak, the Overchief's spy master.

In Claiming Earth Janice, a friend of Britt's who had made her way to Delroi on a spying expedition finds herself entangled with Barak's brother Falkor and returns to Earth to protect him from the Tel Group, a sinister group with paranormal abilities and Janice's former employers.

All together, I enjoyed the series. They really aught to be read in order as the next story starts towards the end of the last one (at least for the last three books). Be warned, while all the sexual interactions are between committed couples, there is definite BDSM elements. Kendall is a submissive in the bedroom and Britt enjoys pain (and more than just a spanking).
