Lady Scientists of Earth Series by Lola Blix

I'm trapped on a reality show space wreck with the one man in the galaxy I never want to see Kellan, my Xanxian ex who shattered my heart. I want to scream at him and tell him to get lost, but fate has different plans. After a cataclysmic accident aboard the show's vessel, our options are severely limited. Either we work together or we die together. I'd rather we live, even if that means fighting that desperate attraction that still pulses between us.

For weeks I've watched Brigitta from behind the camera on the reality show set, but it's not enough. I wish I could watch her forever, or maybe just talk to her. Stop dreaming, Loren. Human's like her aren't interested in Xanxians like you. There's no way one of the beautiful, accomplished stars of The Lady Scientists of Earth would ever notice a guy like me. But fate doesn't agree. A terrifying accident aboard our spaceship throws the two of us together in a way that neither of us can ignore... moreFor weeks I've watched Brigitta from behind the camera on the reality show set, but it's not enough.

A terrifying accident aboard our spaceship throws the two of us together in a way that neither of us can ignore. And it looks she may have noticed me more than I thought. I hope the two of us can survive long enough to explore the electricity between us. Being with her is my dream and I'm willing to fight for it to become a reality. less

I just survived an attack on the spaceship where my reality show was filmed. But somehow, fate isn’t done with me yet. Instead of whisking me to safety, my escape pod delivers me into the hands of an alien space pirate. He’s huge, crass, and more exciting than anyone I’ve ever met. I’ve got to get back to my friends and try to figure out who attacked us. So why am I wishing the pirate would keep me prisoner for a few more days?
