The Novans Series by Ashlyn Hawkes

Picked for her brain. Chosen for her body. Is it possible for love to enter the picture? After saving humanity from the evil Grots, the Novans demand human females for breeding, and Earth has no choice but to comply. At least Lisa Vena is sent as a doctor to the Novan’s new planet Kuria, not for breeding purposes, but as she treats the wounds of the commander of the alien’s army, he takes a fancy to her, and he won’t take no for an answer…

She's intelligent and skilled. So is he. Perhaps there are some skills aside from their minds that they can explore. Johanna Oldenberg is a scientist, working to ensure that the Novans and their chosen female cohorts can produce children. Scientifically, it should work, and it soon does for Lisa and her alien lover, Commander Brax. All of the other couples, though, are failing. Pressure is mounting to find a solution. Otherwise, the Novans will die out. Soon, they make a breakthrough... moreShe's intelligent and skilled. So is he. Perhaps there are some skills aside from their minds that they can explore.
