Review: Good science fiction, and very hot

First off, this is X-rated material.  Also, you'll have to like lots of descriptions of male genitalia.  There is a lot of romance.  If you don't like these things, this is not the book series you are looking for.The Zeitithian are a human-like race with both feline and equine traits.  The females were almost impossibly hard to get, which caused the males to evolve many ultra-desirable traits.  It happens -- do a google search on male pintail ducks sometime for an extreme case.  Also, they heal fast, are very long-living, and excellent warriors. Male Zeitithians were captured as sex slaves.  Sometime before the start of the series, the Zeitithians were seen as a threat due to their desirability, and their home planet was destroyed (with an asteroid!).  There is a large bounty on surviving Zeitithians.The series (7 books at the moment) involves the surviving Zeitithians.  Along the way, they encounter many different alien planets, races, cultures, and abilities.  Each book features at least one human female as a main protagonist, at least one male Zeitithian, and lots of sex.I've read the first 6 books in the series, and I'm looking forward to the seventh --Virgin.  For a moment, lets take out the X-rated material, and see what's left.PLOTTING: Main conflict - hunted survivors from a deliberately destroyed home planet. Quite often, the author draws attention to some seemingly minor detail, and that turns out to be important.  There are often many clues for an upcoming event, or for an alien ability.  When there are plot twists, they are logical and satisfying.  When something important is happening, the author sticks with it.  When there is a cliffhanger, the next chapter will resolve it, rather than going to an unrelated character elsewhere.DIALOG:  It's sometimes annoying (especially with Captain Jack in the first book), but always readable and believable, and moves the stories forward well.ALIENS:  There are many different types of aliens, all believable.Fugitive: The Cat Star Chronicles #5, for example, has the eltran Zef, who is an ugly amphibian. The eltran are very fast at picking up languages, but they are also dependent on dialog for survival. As almost a throwaway, the author discusses much of eltran culture.  That's one of five aliens within that book.Zef is disgusting, annoying, and I really started to care about him.CHARACTERS:  I mentioned Zef above.  All of the Cats are very hot, but come across as distinct characters.  The females humans are quite different, and are frequently heros themselves, and lead the charge when necessary.Even without the erotica, this would be one of my favorite science fiction authors.  As it happens, I liked the Zeitithians tremendously.  Recommended (with the caveats in the opening.)
