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 90+ titles featured this week):
TAKEN BY THE ZYTHERIAN KING: ABDUCTED BY THE RUTHLESS ROYAL by Bella Blair
ALICE: I imagine the worst when I’m abducted by ruthless alien slave traders. So when I’m taken to a handsome alien king and he tells me he is going to make me his queen I should be thrilled, right? Somehow though he turns all my emotions into overdrive, including desire and anger. Torn between the two, I unleash first one then the other.
ZAYDEN: Find a pale blonde and make her your queen or forfeit your throne, the priests decree. But resigning is out of the question after my hard-fought battle for the throne. So, I’m forced to strike an unthinkable deal with slave traders to locate the specified female. The moment I glimpse her hologram, she consumes my thoughts. She’s captivating and exotic, a species entirely new to me, and I’m eager to crown her as my queen. Unfortunately, despite our instant attraction, Alice isn’t keen on my plans, forcing me to employ all my battle strategies to conquer my reluctant queen and make her MINE.
PRIMAL MIRROR (PSY-CHANGELING TRINITY BOOK 8) by Nalini Singh
VS Note: I had this pre-ordered.
Daughter of two ruthless high-Gradient telepaths, Auden Scott is not the child her Psy parents wanted or expected, even before her brain injury. Her thoughts are scattered, her memories fuzzy—or just terrifyingly blank. The only thing she knows for certain is that she must protect her unborn baby . . . a baby she has no recollection of conceiving and who draws an unnerving depth of interest from her dead mother’s closest associates. Leopard alpha Remi Denier is a man driven by the primal instinct to protect. Protect his pack, protect his allies . . . and protect the mysterious woman who has become a most unlikely neighbor. With eerie eyes that see too much and a scent that alters in ways disturbing and impossible, Auden Scott is the enemy . . . but nothing about this strange Psy is what it seems, and Remi’s feline heart is as fascinated by her as his human half. Then Auden asks Remi to help her shatter the wall of secrets that is the Scott bloodline. What they unearth will reveal a nightmare beyond imagination. This time, the battle is to the death.
