Nice read. This single author anthology manages to mix together aliens who look like lions [think Vincent in Beauty and Beast for those who remember that far back], Sensitives [people with psychic talents], post-holocaust Earth complete with a Rebellion against the World Federation which is trying to wipe out the Sensitives. It has likable characters and an action-oriented plot. H/H's spend a lot of time hitting the sheets...From the publisher's site [Ellora's Cave]:
StarQuest - Lionheart By Kate Douglas
Book 1 in the Star Quest series Mara Armand, director of a foundation for the protection and study of humans with extrasensory abilities, has made telepathic contact with an alien starship captain orbiting the earth. After weeks of nightly telepathic visits with Captain Sander, Mara develops an intimate mental relationship with her unseen alien lover. She experiences his need, his passion, and his sensual touch, but it is a bittersweet relationship for the laws of the Explorers forbid them to ever meet. An accident in space changes everything and Mara and Sander are given the chance they never thought they'd have. Threatened by World Federation troops from without and jealous hatred from within, their survival now depends on the strength of their bond and a ragtag army of young Sensitives willing to risk their lives for an alien starship captain. StarQuest - Night of the Cat By Kate Douglas
Book 2 in the series Star Quest Jenna Lang is ready for a change, but traveling to a future earth and landing in the middle of a rebellion between Sensitives and the World Federation was not on her list. A sensual encounter with a ferocious but intriguing Lion of Mirat is something Jenna could never have imagined. Is Garan her ultimate sexual fantasy come true, the one love she has always dreamed of...or is he both?
StarQuest - Pride of Imar By Kate Douglas

Sheyna and Malachi discover that a powerful bond exists between them during these trying times. However, once they are freed by Rebellion forces, they must determine whether the bond they feel is one borne of love or necessity.
