Thank you, Jen, for the recommendation. I love science fiction, and romance for me is a treat when done the way I like. I'm very picky on romance I read because I really don't love all romance tropes, but this one has some of my favorites. It's about the yearning, we must focus! Combining the perfected use of the romance tropes with a new sci-fi background I really loved. The overall story was interesting and kept me coming back as well. I saw a review saying the romance was a background to the sci-fi plot, but I felt the opposite that the sci-fi was a different setting for romance plot points used before, but maybe that just depends on how much you read each of those genres.

Either way if you're looking for a sweet, lgbt, sci-fi romance, this is it!

One word: cute!

Winter’s Orbit is a fun, character-focused space opera that does a wonderful job of balancing romance with interplanetary politics. 

As someone who doesn’t read much sci-fi (or romance, for that matter), I enjoyed this book immensely.  Maxwell writes with a great amount of emotional awareness. Her characters are lovable (and, boy, do I love them) and react realistically to the world(s) around them. The setting is interesting, but not complicated, and I would love to see it expanded. 

It’s one of those novels that could easily become somebody’s comfort book.
