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):
WHEN SHE’S HANDY: A RISDAVERSE SHORT by Ruby Dixon
Five years ago, an alien saved me from a cruel master. He rescued me and I fell in love instantly, only for him to turn around and dump me on Risda III. I both love and hate him for that choice. I’ve moved on and created a life for myself on this strange alien planet amongst the other refugee humans. I create things for them out of scrap, things from home, things that humans want and aliens don’t understand. I’m happy enough. But then the alien I can’t forget…returns.
FATED TO THE ALIEN HEALER (WARRIORS OF TAVIKH BOOK FIVE) by Erin Hale
Zara – Betrayed by someone I thought I could trust. Disowned by parents who never loved me anyway. Which means I have nowhere to go except to another planet. To my surprise, this new life on Tavikh is almost better than my previous one. I have great friends and who’d complain about the view? Towering lavender aliens with long, golden-blond hair, muscles for days, and tails that put naughty, wicked thoughts in my head. So what if the village is a little primitive and I’m struggling to find my place? But then some a-hole aliens from another tribe decide they need women and the next thing I know I’m slung belly-down over some mutant camel-lion-thing. Somebody better rescue me for my sake and for the sake of the dude whose life I’m about to make miserable. Kyler – At forty cold seasons, I am almost considered an elder of the tribe. Which is why I should not be drawn to one of the human females who lives in our village. She is most likely the mate of one of the younger warriors. Yet my eyes are constantly drawn to the weapon maker’s apprentice with her bari-colored hair, nenuphar-bloom eyes, and curves that make the tips of my fingers tingle with the need to explore. When she is taken captive by Njeri warriors, I volunteer to join the rescue party. Despite being our tribe’s healer, I will destroy anyone who dares hurt her. Soon, I discover that it is not only her body I must heal, but also her heart.
