Three SciFi romance novellas and I ended up liking all three, world building is important in scifi stories and all three authors did a good job in delivering well thought out worlds and all three of the romances worked for me too.All that Glitters by Erin Kellison - The romance in this one has a head start because it brings former lovers back together.To Buy a Wife by KC Klein - Well, this is a tough one. I ended up liking it but the beginning is tough. This is set in a world where there are very few women and a man who wants to save the farm that has been in his family for generations needs to buy a bride because only married men can hold land. Within the strictures of their society he ends up being a good guy and actually treats her fairly honorably but I was worried at the start.Enslaved by Starlight by Jessa Slade - I liked the story, but I had issues with all of the q-words related to the heroine, and it was one of those scifi stories where there are expressions used by the characters that are 'world' appropriate but always seem sort of cheesy when to me when I read them.
