Does this need to be a male captain? Just checking parameters before I start looking through my bookshelves. Lately I’ve been thinking more about female captains, not necessarily romance, so I don’t have anything to suggest yet.

Conflict of Honors by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. This is a reasonable entry point to the Liaden Universe books. In this one the main POV character is Priscilla, and the captain is Shan. Yes romance, yes action, a lot of culture clashes and great characterization.
We read this one before as a group read. See

Space Deputy by Jenny Schwartz might fit this category as well. Not exactly a captain, but the sheriff and in charge of the ship they are on most of the time. That was one of our group reads too.

Try the Central Corps series by Elizabeth Bonesteel.

That was a good one. SG writes good space-opera with romances that are not overly explicit.

enemies to lovers is my favorite! Steamy is always a perk- not erotica necessarily, but I'm not picky as long as there is a good story there. No YA, please :)
