Have you read S.L. Viehl's "Stardoc"? It's the first in a long series.

Unfortunately the first book looked 1st person so I never dug deeper.

Based on the recommendations (and my personal search) the official marketed as 'SF Romance' genre is not for me so I'm going to give up and stick to Space Opera or other SF books that don't have the 'Romance' label attached.

I recommend Dark Horse by Michelle Diener. (Not written in 1st person) It's also available free right now on Kindle Unlimited

FizzyWater - I would add 'Susan Kearney Rystani Warrior series' to your "Don't Bother With" section. I would very much NOT recommend them. I still have dents in my wall from throwing the books across the room.

I enjoyed Ruth Nestvold's Looking Through Lace, it is only short but is real SF in third person with a romantic element.

Just make certain it has a cover on it. You wouldn't want to damage the screen.

Check out the Paradox Trilogy by Rachel Bach. Really good SF series with some romance in it.

Shelves and shelves and shelves of UF Romance, Steampunk Romance seems to be on the upswing but spaceships and aliens and lasers with a love story (not a sex story) ... where are you?

No first person please (sorry, it just bugs me.) And I consider 'Last hour of Gann' more Romance than erotica even though its risque because its has an actual plot.
Don't know if this would be right for you but I highly recommend Time Shifters by Shanna Lauffey. First book in a series. There is some first person at the beginning of each chapter but then the story is mostly in third person.

It's about a people who can shift through time or space, though not both at the same time. It's not specifically Romance, but there's a strong romantic angle and it's clean, no erotica.
