GRR Reviews Star Rogue (Star Series Book 3) by Susan Grant

Star Rogue relied on the assumption that the aliens are just more advanced humans (and "fully compatible" in every way), but the plot was quite nice with some serious tension, without resorting to lame tropes.

In the not too distant future, Earth has contacted friendly aliens, and an Earthling was chosen the heir to an interstellar trade empire. The crown prince's twin sister, Ilana is just an indie film producer on Earth, even though she could call herself a Princess. When an alien prince Che, being forced to marry ASAP for political reasons, decided to hide on Earth for a while, he found himself drawn to Princess Ilana. When Che was recalled and Che's crazy brother Klark escaped from custody, worst fears are realized... What was Klark about to do when he stole a fighter on the way to intercept the ship carrying Princess Ilana?

The plot is standard romantic suspense, but the setting was changed to scifi, and it works. Rather enjoyed this variation.
