Brought to you by Penguin.

Are you ready to find the greatest love in the galaxy? A reality dating show goes intergalactic in this sci-fi romance novel for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Hannah Nicole Maehrer!


Tonight, on Love Galaxy, a hot new bombshell enters the cosmos!

Trash collector Temmi never expected to land a spot on Love Galaxy, the wildly popular dating show starring the brother and sister heirs to the galactic empire: twenty-four contestants. Two imperial heirs. One chance for Temmi to change her life.

Hang on – Temmi, babes, you’re supposed to be wooing the prince, not falling for his sister!

Temmi may have been hand-picked to date the quiet, bookish prince, but she can’t seem to keep away from Princess Spie. She’s entirely off limits, but their magnetic chemistry is undeniable.

OK, plot twist! But all’s fair in love and revolution, right?

When contestants start turning up dead and whispers of rebellion spread, Temmi and Spie find themselves in over their heads – romantically, politically and, possibly, fatally.

Deadly eliminations and an anti-Empire coup? Things on Love Galaxy are getting seriously off-script…
Sexy, snarky and full of heart, Love Galaxy is a rom-com with rocket fuel – perfect for anyone who lives for the drama!

Critics Review

I raced through this book! Come for the reality dating show in space, stay for the murder and sapphic yearning. Readers who love an underdog protagonist, a genre-blending plot, and rich but accessible world building will adore Love Galaxy.
M. Stevenson, author of BEHOOVED
Like the reality shows it invokes, Sierra Branham’s Love Galaxy is so much more than meets the eye. It satisfyingly replicates all the messy magic of the best/worst reality shows, but feeds it through the eyes of Temmi – a consummate outsider whose attitude toward media made in the heart of empire gives readers space to question their own enjoyment.
Micaiah Johnson, author of THE SPACE BETWEEN WORLDS
A shimmering, tantalizing bird cage that lures you in with all the glamour and drama of a reality TV show and snaps the door shut as the game grows twisted. My head is still spinning from all the twists and reveals and I'll definitely be tuning in for Season 2.
A.D. Sui, author of THE IRON GARDEN SUTRA
A thrilling and heart-wrenching adventure full of galactic stakes, brutal choices, and swoony romance! Temmi and Spie crash into each other with the fire of a supernova, and I could not look away! I loved every moment of this wild ride!
Deva Fagan, author of HOUSE OF DUSK
Combine swoony queer romance, rich science fiction worldbuilding, nail-biting political intrigue, and a lovable main character who can’t seem to catch a break, and you get Love Galaxy, the finest romanti-sci-fi this side of the universe! If you’ve ever wondered what an Intergalactic ‘The Bachelor” would look like, this is the book for you. It has the hair-flipping drama, it has the cringe, it has the fake smiles and reality TV star vibes; and running alongside it all is an intricately-woven mystery that uncovers the reality and unreality of class, power, and love. You won’t be able to look away!
Riley August, bestselling author of THE LAST GIFTS OF THE UNIVERSE
Love Galaxy is a wild and witty ride full of feelings, banter, plot twists, romance, and murder. The most gripping reality show since the Hunger Games, it’ll keep your heart racing and the pages turning! I fell hard for this book!
Melissa Caruso, author of THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS
Branham catapults onto the SFF scene with a fast-paced space opera debut poised to break you out of your most stubborn reading slump. Love Galaxy is a compulsively readable debut with a unique concept, masterful worldbuilding, and characters that jump off the page from the very beginning. What begins as a fun, punchy tale about a dating show in space steadily morphs into a complex, unputdownable tale about class, privilege, and political nuance. This fun, high-octane read contains, at its heart, a tale that reminds us that beauty and love can exist even in the cruellest of worlds . . . perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Mass Effect, and bisexual panic.
M.J. Kuhn, author of AMONG THIEVES
Love Galaxy is the best kind of science fiction. Branham's debut is a fast-paced deluge of all my favorite things: complex characters, political intrigue, dating show drama, and gay girls kissing. The kind of book that you'll be thinking about long after you finish reading. I absolutely adored it!
Alexandra Kennington, author of BLOOD BENEATH THE SNOW
Full of heart, humor, and gut-wrenching stakes, Love Galaxy is the kind of book you won't want to put down once you've started. I absolutely adored the blend of sapphic romance, the inventive reality TV show backdrop, a main character you can't help but root for, and a murder mystery that will keep you guessing. I guarantee you'll be clamouring for more!
Kalie Reid, author of THE SACRED SPACE BETWEEN
Sierra Branham dazzles in her sapphic space opera debut. Love Galaxy is a mad-cap mashup of Star Wars meets The Bachelor. Branham’s confident prose takes readers on a wild ride of twists and turns that will leave them gasping. With wonderful world building, memorable characters and a great story of family loyalty and intergalactic intrigue, this is a glorious read and I can’t wait for Branham’s next book
