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 93+ titles featured this week):
ROMANCING REM’EB (ICE PLANET CLONES BOOK THREE) by Ruby Dixon
I feel like an outsider wherever I go. Croatoan, the Icehome Beach…neither place is home to me. So when a group heads off to the fruit caves to investigate thievery, I go with them. Any excuse to get away from the beach, where I’ve made a fool of myself in front of my ex and his new mate. Things go from bad to worse as I’m kidnapped by strangers. These new people have four arms, long fluffy tails, and arching horns. They aren’t like any aliens I’ve seen before, and they live in the warm caverns below the mountains. They should be the enemy. I should hate them for snatching me. But the chief’s son says I’m the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen…New plan: I romance the chief’s son until he frees me. What could possibly go wrong?
ESCAPE CLAUSE (COSMIC MATES BOOK ONE) by Cara Bristol
After a nano-virus devastates Caradonia, leaving the planet in desperate need of women, leader Krogan launches a last-ditch effort to save their civilization—convince men to accept human brides through Cosmic Mates. Krogan himself has no time or desire for a wife. A driven workaholic, he’s focused on solving his planet’s problems and maintaining peace in the world. But his people look to him to set an example. If he doesn’t take a wife through Cosmic Mates no one else will either. Thankfully, there’s an escape clause, and at the end of the trial period, he intends to use it. Fleeing a horrid and powerful man, Hope Bennett reluctantly agrees to a marriage of convenience with an alien. The last thing she desires is to be locked into an unwanted union. Been there, almost did that. Fortunately, the escape clause in the contract gives her an out, and when it’s safe, she can go home to Terra Nova. Hope and Krogan promise each other a marriage in name only and vow to separate when the contract provisions are satisfied. But as they let down their guard, they recognize a kindred spirit in each other. Love and passion blossom, and each begins to long for a deeper, permanent union. Just as their secret wishes are about to be fulfilled, violent tensions erupt out of the pandemic, forcing Krogan into a dilemma—to save Hope he must invoke the escape clause of their marriage contract. If he sends her away, will she ever come back?
