About this listen

Promoted early, Desmond McLaughlin and his mates are now full members of the Hegemony military, with all the rights and duties that rank includes.

Given the benefits of achieving the rank of full adept early, Desmond and company elected to be deployed aboard the battlecruiser Fist of Defiance, a ship that just happened to be part of the Seventh Border Fleet. The same fleet headed by a certain admiral whose daughter was saved by Desmond and his girls.

Now, though, away from the oversight of the academy ships, the reality of his place in the greater galaxy is even closer to home. With his girls at his back, Desmond must do his best to show his capability not only as an adept but also as the clan-male to the newly formed Clan McLaughlin.

Things are never as simple as they seem though, and events march ever forward throughout the greater galaxy. While Desmond’s team might be something special, they are only a very small piece on the very large board of Hegemony of Velvet Stars.

What fresh trouble will Desmond uncover? What new foes will rise up to face Clan McLaughlin? And will Desmond and his family be ready to face them?

Monster Girls In Space is a Sci-Fi, fantasy, semi-military, men’s romance, progression fantasy about a man becoming a space-wizard amongst a universe full of monster girls (it’s in the title, you should have expected that part). Expect adventure, mischief, magic, fighting, and unconventional relationships in a galaxy that is curious what sort of mischief Humanity will get up to.

This series just keeps getting better! In Monster Girls in Space: Defiant Foes, the main character has truly come into his own. While he definitely has some "Mary Sue" luck, he’s not just handed success—he’s worked for it, and I love that he trusts and relies on his clan rather than being a lone hero.

The dynamic between his girls is both sweet and spicy, making for an engaging and heartfelt read. The story leans heavily into fantasy elements despite being set in space, but honestly, I’m here for it! It’s refreshing to see a protagonist who didn’t start as an overpowered "Chad" but instead earned his strength and position.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series! If you love sci-fi with strong character development, fun relationships, and a bit of spice, this is a must-read.

A Fantastic Blend of Fantasy and Sci-Fi!

I have read a decent amount of books from this sort of genre, this one was definitely in the top of series I will be following. It does an amazing job of balancing spice, romance and engaging story.
My only gripe is that I now have to wait for the next one, oh and I suppose I actually find myself missing some of the characters from the previous books, specifically a certain instructor and her mysterious guard, the characters were engaging enough I got attached to them which is probably a good sign. Will definitely relisten to this one a few times before the next release.

Worth every penny
