Here’s the weekly post from my author blog on the new releases I found to be of interest in my three favorite romance genres (which are also the ones I write in!), and related areas such as time travel, steampunk, paranormal cozy romances and more. I do sometimes cover other releases of note in science fiction and fantasy.
As always, I recommend sampling before you buy! I have not read most of the new releases listed (although I always end up one-clicking a bunch as I prepare these posts). I don’t pick up every single new release each week but try to provide a representative subset and lots of choices.
Here’s a teaser for this week’s first two books (jump to the blog to see the approximately 80+ titles featured this week):
AN ALIEN BERSERKER FOR CHRISTMAS (WARRIORS OF THE LATHAR BOOK 17) by Mina Carter
Escape. Locate. Claim. Condemned Izaean Berserker K’laus didn’t expect to find his fated mate in a medical bay. Or for her to be human. He certainly didn’t expect to have to watch her walk away from him. Escaping the station is easy. Tracking his mate down on a planet alien to him is a little harder. Claiming her heart might just take all the magic that Christmas has to offer. Especially when he can’t tell her he’s not the man she thinks he is…No time for Christmas, she has a job to do. One that doesn’t include falling in love. Holly was the best gen-modded predator keeper on the planet. Until one of her charges used her as a chew toy. Literally. Now the only job she can find is her personal nightmare; Deer keeper in a Christmas resort. Whatever. She just has to survive until Christmas. Which doesn’t include falling for the resort’s charming, handsome driver. But he is cute and he seems familiar…When her annoying ex drops the bombshell that her new crush isn’t who he says he is, can she see past the lie, and accept the truth in her handsome alien’s heart?
DOCTOR GALAXY (PAX GALACTICA BOOK ONE) by Jenny Schwartz
New ER doctor Alexi Sur always intended to join an aid agency. She’d just expected to work among humans. But when the Pax Galactica Corps becomes her only option (don’t ask – the debts aren’t hers, but the family is. Much to her regret), Alexi finds herself traveling the galaxy and learning alien physiology and culture, all while becoming a reality TV star. Being pursued by camera drones and starring in her very own Welcome-to-the-Universe documentary was never on Alexi’s to do list. She’s positive the show will flop. After all, Alexi is boring. That’s why her boyfriend left her for her stepsister. But as trillions of aliens tune in to watch Alexi discover the universe in Doctor Galaxy, what she discovers is the existential threat facing humanity. Major Soren Agha already knows about the danger. He’s currently playing peacekeeper for the Eripi of the Pariah Sector whose tragic fate could be humanity’s: conquered, exploited, lost. Can one dedicated doctor save humanity? Can she, as Soren believes, also save the Eripi? And would anyone really notice if she sabotaged a couple of pesky camera drones?
