I borrowed this from KU expecting a light, fun read from Margo Bond Collins, who has written other very enjoyable books. Unfortunately, this is so bad I only got through three very short chapters before returning it. There were three big problems in those three chapters:
1) The heroine sees three men (a human and two aliens) engaged in a con game to steal money and immediately decides she wants them for her crew. When they say no, she threatens and blackmails them into agreeing. If you see the problem with a tiny woman blackmailing three large criminals into coming onto a ship with her, where they will be completely alone and might most logically kill her and steal her ship after she forced them aboard, this might be not be the book for you.
2) The book commits the sin of torturing colloquial phrases to make them sound futuristic. So instead of popcorn we have heating kernels, instead of saying the fun was sucked out the authors add “like a beryllium core mounted too close to a quantum intake” (whatever that means) and instead of a (human) male wanting to get his rocks off, he wants to get his “space rocks” off. One presumes he means asteroids or comets? If this small sampling makes you cringe, this might not be the book for you.
3) The authors think this is sexy speak as regards an alien: “The heat radiating from her brushed against my maximillary palps, making me want to move them against her as if she were food, or maybe a mate. The thought made the tip of my flagellum stiffen. And to think I’d told Adler to keep it in his endosoma.” If that makes you want to reference a science textbook rather read more, this might not be the book for you.
If you’re interested in a good, fun romance with a somewhat insectile male alien, I’d recommend Ann Aguirre’s Strange Love. It’s not reverse harem, but it’s a very good read and is also available through KU.

Tiny and Fierce is the interesting tale of an independent young space salvager (AKA junk scavenger) who has mass skills, top training, years of experience, and a salvaged ship and AI wa-ay above civilian pay-grade (finders, keepers, right?) Thanks to an uncharted and unstable wormhole, she's also totally lost in an unknown sector of the galaxy. Going home ain't happening, so now she's gotta find a way to salvage for a living, which means she needs a crew. Luck, quick thinking and blackmail and bribery conspire to hook her up with three alien con-men who decide that crewing a junker with a pretty little human spitfire as their boss is not the worst fate that might befall them. The characters are the standouts in this novel, particularly the less humanoid of the aliens, and they fell, one after another into lust with their feisty and fearless boss (Han Solo with hips and boobs). There's a surprisingly caring attitude on her part which propels the budding relationships. BUT (here comes the minus 2 stars) there is no reverse harem (yet) although there's one of the three aliens who manages a hot night...
Now, you gotta understand - these guys AREN"T HUMAN, and neither is the anatomy. Alien sex is REALLY different, and if that bothers you this might not be your book. I can't say it hit my HOT button, but the description was a marvel of imaginative writing. The interplay between character was surprisingly real and honest, and the emotional connections were entirely believable. The twists and dangers of the plot made for some white-knuckle excitement to balance the feels, and the whole book is truly well-written. This is the start of a series, so clearly more adventure, action (in and out of the bedroom) and tender feelings are in store. Maybe book 2 will see the "reverse harem" come together. Meanwhile, I liked this one well enough to hang around for the next book. This is a voluntary ARC review.

Lise is a proud junker, from a line of junkers. She was clearing out the latest area with her family when she discovered an AI run ship, Blue. Heading out with Blue to find another haul to dismantle for payoff, she gets sucked through a wormhole into uncharted regions. They've seen the odd human, but she's never heard of any of them. But what she's found out is that humans make a lot of money for slavers, so avoiding them is her highest priority. To do that she needs people who know the area, and aren't upset with working with a space rat. So, seedy bars it is then. She finds the perfect crew in the middle of their own heist. Only problem is, well, they're all wanted by various governments.
Spoilers ahead.
This was fun. I've read her naga shifter series and was excited to see her break into the sci-fi genre. Lise is fine within the shadows. She's strong without being brittle or hateful. She's adaptable. The guys are all a little insectoid, which made things crazy. I would love a bit more description on Evik. Picturing him is hard in me head. We're given chitin, antenna, mandibles, 6 appendages (arms/legs) and segmented. So...ant like? Beetle? The scent communication makes me think more any like. But that doesn't fit the flexibility mentioned. Morph is described as almost butterfly like and Alder as a fae/almost dragonfly like humanoid. Alder is running from an arranged marriage, Morph from his days as a science experiment, and I can't remember why Evik is off his world. While there is some world building, it's mostly from the time on an enemy planet. There's a little background story but not how they banded together. A lot of action happened in this book, but after you finish it the questions start popping up. Oh, and mild trigger warnings. The enemy that grabs them has a slave trade. Females are tested for breeding capabilities, males are sold for labor or games. So, when Lise is separated from the crew, tests are run. Nothing mentioned other than an ache when she wakes up. The other women, one is damaged from something done to her but nothing is said, only assumed. So, all were tested, some already sold, possible experiments to make them compatible. But nothing in depth, I just think it deserves a mention for sensitive readers. I loved the byplay between the crew, and how the lone human stood up for the least human looking member. For a being not used to too many aliens, she adapted to the variety of beings without a qualm.

Tiny and Fierce - fun alien romance
Reviewed in Australia on October 19, 2020Verified Purchase
Margo Bond Collins is an author whose work I always enjoy. Tiny and Fierce is another fun read. Not deep and meaningful, but a great escape from reality. The blurb sets the scene. A quick easy read. Enjoyable with action and adventure. Told from the 4 POVs and that enables back story to be introduced for each of the different aliens, each of whom is a wanted for various crimes. But you need to suspend your critical faculties. Lise blackmails three alien conmen into joining as crew for her ship. Really! one tiny human female and three large and dangerous aliens, and they don't decide to take over her ship? Maybe Blue, the ship's AI, and Lise's bestie would baulk at obeying anyone else. Being different species, the crew have different talents that are put to good use in their encounters with authorities. Not quite a reveres harem, one sexual encounter with interesting alien action. The other crew lust after their captain, so perhaps the harem comes together in the next books. Will I read the next book? definitely. Would I recommend this book? Yes if you are a SciFi fan, love aliens and don't mind a slow burn romance and a cliff hanger ending.
