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 100+ titles featured this week):
JUDGED BY THE ALIEN SKYWARDEN (CONTACT ROMANCES BOOK TWO) by Leslie Chase and Starr Huntress
He’s arrogant, aggressive and abrasive – and hotter than the surface of the Sun.Which is a problem when I’m in a race against time in a test he set. If my team and I don’t solve the puzzles scattered around Crashland by the deadline, our alien overlords will annihilate every human on the planet. I need to focus on that, not on the judge’s amazing alien abs or what I want him to do with his tongue! But Skywarden Darakar is huge, muscled all over, and dangerously attractive. I can’t keep my eyes off him when we’re together, or my mind off him when we’re apart. The only consolation I have is that he’s just as distracted by me. And now someone is sabotaging the test. Darakar wants our trial to be fair, and I want to survive, so for now we’re on the same side. But the more time we spend in each other’s company, the harder it is to keep our hands off each other.
PRODIGAL by Tana Stone
Life as a female fighter pilot with the Valox resistance isn’t always easy, but it gets much worse when my ship dies on a solo mission. Then worse still when I’m rescued by hulking, bare-chested aliens who are nothing like the Vandar I fought with against the empire. The Vandar horde that snatches me from my ship might wear the battle kilts and inked skin of their counterparts, but they have no intention of treating me like an ally—or releasing me. With platinum hair and dark hearts set on dominance and retribution, the raiders who capture me are what they call Kyrie Vandar—The Lost Vandar—raiders whose ancestors were exiled from the galaxy. Now they’ve returned to exact revenge on the Vandar who rejected them. The horde’s warlord, Raas Ronnan, is certain that a female pilot who fought alongside the Vandar is the perfect pawn to lure them into a trap. He’s also convinced that forcing me to share his quarters and bed will provoke my cooperation. But the fearsome warlord has underestimated me and my ability to be coerced–or seduced. I’m determined to escape, even as the Vandar brute eyes me like tempting prey. But can I slip from Ronnan’s velvet snare the more I learn about him and his adrift horde? Or will I end up becoming just as lost as the tortured Vandar warlord who stirs the depths of my soul?
