In recent years, the term romantasy—a blend of romance and fantasy—has taken the book world by storm. But for authors like me, who blend romance with science fiction, where do our stories fit?
I’d like to introduce you to a term I’ve embraced: sci-fi romantasy.
It’s a fusion of science fiction, immersive world building, and powerful, emotional romance. It’s a place where you’ll find protective cyborg heroes, post-apocalyptic survival, and soul-deep connections. If you’ve ever read one of my cyborg protector novels or alien romance novellas, then you’ve already stepped into the world of sci-fi romantasy—and I’m so glad you’re here.
🧬 What Makes a Story Sci-Fi Romantasy?
Sci-fi romantasy is a genre that blends science fiction themes with deeply emotional romance, wrapped in an immersive, often gritty world.
Here’s what you’ll usually find in a sci-fi romantasy novel:
Romance at the Core: A slow-burn love story or fated mates dynamic that drives the emotional heart of the book.
High-Stakes World Building: Survival, rebellion, corrupt leaders, and bleak or war-torn landscapes that force characters to rely on each other—and often change them forever.
Emotional Transformation: The romance is healing, redemptive, and helps both characters find a reason to keep going.
In other words, it’s a genre for readers who want both the heart and the heat, both the action and the intimacy.
💖 Why I Write Sci-Fi Romantasy
I’ve always been drawn to stories set in broken worlds—places where the rules of society have collapsed, where survival isn’t guaranteed, and where danger lurks around every corner. Or a dystopian world like Aledus where people with psychic abilities are treated as second class citizens who can lose their freedom for even minor infringements.
But within those bleak settings, I see the perfect backdrop for something powerful: love that endures.
For me, romance isn’t an afterthought. It’s the core of the story. It’s what gives my cyborg heroes a reason to fight. It’s what keeps my alien warriors grounded. And it’s what lets my heroines believe in something again—even when the world around them has fallen apart.
In every book I write, I explore themes of:
Hope after hardship
Second chances
Protective devotion
Found family
And the idea that love, even in the harshest circumstances, can be transformative.
🛠️ How Sci-Fi Romantasy Is Different from Traditional Sci-Fi Romance
There’s absolutely a place for traditional sci-fi romance, especially stories that focus on space travel, intergalactic politics, or high-tech intrigue. But sci-fi romantasy leans more into:
Character-driven emotion
Romance-first storytelling
Magical-feeling tech or soul bond dynamics
Strong tropes like fated mates, enemies to lovers, or “grumpy cyborg falls for sunshine heroine”
Readers of romantasy—like Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns and Roses, or From Blood and Ash—often love sci-fi romantasy because the vibe is similar. The main difference? We trade dragons for drones, fae courts for corrupt post-apocalyptic towns, and spellcasters for genetically engineered soldiers.
🌌 What Kind of Stories Will You Find in Sci-Fi Romantasy?
In my books, you’ll find:
A war-hardened cyborg with broken nanites learning to love again
A single mother hiding from danger who discovers her mate is more machine than man
A monstrous alien who saves a woman from a snowstorm and keeps her safe in his hidden mountain shelter
Post-apocalyptic towns ruled by fear—and the cyborgs brave enough to bring them down
Space Opera with battle tested aliens and humans who rescue abductees
Each story is deeply romantic, sometimes gritty, and always emotionally satisfying. The world may be falling apart, but the bond between my characters is unshakable.
❤️ Who Is Sci-Fi Romantasy For?
This genre is perfect for readers who crave:
Romance with protective, wounded heroes
Fated mates or soul-deep connections
Found family and emotional healing arcs
Danger, survival, and suspense with a romantic payoff
Stories that mix grit and tenderness in equal measure
If you love the emotional depth of fantasy romance but prefer your dragons swapped for cyborgs and your swords replaced with tech—sci-fi romantasy is for you.
🚀 Final Thoughts
Genres are always evolving. Readers today are hungry for stories that break traditional boundaries and give them layered, emotionally rich experiences. Sci-fi romantasy does just that—blending action, romance, and world building in a way that feels immersive, heartfelt, and deeply satisfying.
If you’ve been reading my books—whether it’s a story about a cybernetic soldier finding his mate, or a hulking alien protector falling for a fierce human woman—you’ve already found this genre.
I’m proud to write sci-fi romantasy. And I hope you love reading it as much as I love creating it.
