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 101+ titles featured this week):
NAFFON (HOW THE ALIENS WERE WON BOOK THREE) by Honey Phillips
Dora was fooled once by a charming smile and pretty words; she’s not about to let it happen again, especially now that she has a baby. And especially when those charming smiles come from a reckless, golden-furred alien who irritates her as much as he arouses her. Naffon joined the military looking for adventure. Instead he was forced to fight in a war which still haunts him, even though he hides his pain behind a cheerful smile. Despair makes him reckless – until he suddenly becomes responsible for a pretty, irritating female and her adorable daughter. When Dora and Naffon are forced to travel together as husband and wife, Dora begins to see a different side to the massive alien warrior. But can she trust his new tenderness? And can Naffon overcome his demons to become the male that Dora and her daughter need?
STEAL THE STARS (THE COALITION BOOK ONE) by Ann Aguirre and P T Maylee
He’s heroic. He’s selfless. He’s trying to save everyone. E’nosience has spent a lifetime trying (and failing) to please his progenitor, who is a high-ranking admiral in the Coalition. When they made first-contact on a planet called Earth, he didn’t expect to fall for the ambassador assigned to his delegation. And he never expected to lose her, either. But thanks to a rag-tag group of humans who can play the long odds, he has a second chance with Maddy. And to break free from the admiral’s influence. She’s smart. She’s loyal. She’s trying not to lose everything. Maddy has forgotten more about xeno-studies than others will ever know. She loved being an ambassador, but the diplomatic corp crashed and burned, leaving her jobless. When E’no vowed eternal devotion, then disappeared, she cursed his name. She can fire a weapon or pilot a shuttle, at least in theory, but suddenly, her life is a lot more edge-of-your-seat action than theoretical knowledge. But maybe there’s more to the story. There’s certainly a whole lot of danger in the form of the flagship in low orbit.
