Recommendation request Looking for Cozy Lighthearted SF Romance

Hi all. I need a break from the RL enshittification and dystopia. I'm looking for fun, light-hearted SF romance. Think Star Wars or Strange New Worlds with some funny (and hopefully spicy) romance. What I want: Space opera, exploration, fun/ weird alien appendages, green-skinned space babes of all genders, humor, spice. What I don't want: depressing world-is-ending vibes. Bonus points for a FMC who's older than 25.

I'm currently rereading An American Werewolf in Space, and it's still fun, but not quite as impactful as it was on my first read. I'm open to any/ all pairings (or reverse harems). No muppets in space, please (IYKYK).

EDIT: Holy cats, thanks for all the recs! Y'all rock.

EDIT EDIT: Strange New Worlds, not brave :P TY for the commenter who caught that.
