It would depend on what you like, I like the entire Alliance-Union series but they didn't seem to be in any particular order.
Good start would be:

https://www.amazon.com/Downbelow-Sta...s%2C240&sr=8-1
If you like more "alien-human contact" type (from the alien's point of view) there's the Chanur series. more like space opera. here are the first 3 of 5 in one volume:

The 4th and 5th of the series:

I wasn't crazy about the 5th book though.
I mentioned Rider At The Gate, a favorite of mine
https://www.amazon.com/Rider-at-Gate...09586 &sr=8-1
It gets downright spooky at times. Second book wasn't nearly as good
Then, if you want a years-long read try the Foreigner series, 22 books (and counting)

I liked pretty much everything but the Cyteen books.
