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 115+ titles featured this week):
SWORN BY STARLIGHT (WARRIOR KINGS OF ALIOTH) by Sara Ivy Hill
Rose – Caged for years by my lizardlike abductors, I’ve given up hope of escape… until a huge alien warrior buys me and carries me off into the grasslands of his planet! I have no idea what he wants with me and I’m too sick to fight, so I brace myself for the worst. But his hands are gentle, and our connection is electric. As I regain my strength under his care, and he patiently teaches me his language, I realize…I’m much more to him than a possession. I’m his fated mate. Oljin – If I don’t find my fated mate before my younger brother finds his, I’ll lose my chance at the crown. I search everywhere and find her—broken and trapped in a brutal galactic circus. Even weakened, she’s stunning and fierce, my beautiful queen. But though she’s perfect for me, my brother and the corrupt priests who support him will never accept her. She’s not from our planet. She can’t even speak our language. And she’s too weak to stand beside me and rule. So I hide her away while she heals and wonder… can we overcome the deadly plots against us? Or will my people’s traditions tear us apart?
MY OKTOBERFEST ALIEN (ALLIANCE HOLIDAY BOOK SIX) by Alma Nilsson
Fox – I have seven weeks to meet and marry a human woman. If I don’t, I will lose my position as Commander of the Alliance Force. Since I took command, my attempts to meet eligible women have been disastrous. Lev, our resident anthropologist, has suggested I attend Oktoberfest in Munich. His rationale is that I like beer and the comradery of dancing and singing and will be surrounded by women who also enjoy the same activities. I always advise my officers to mingle with humans at their festivals. The better we understand humanity and are emotionally connected to the people of Earth, the better we can defend their planet. Perhaps taking my own advice will help me find a wife before it’s too late.
