VS: I have another new release this week as well!
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 96+ titles featured this week):
STAR CRUISE CAPTAIN’S STORY by Veronica Scott
Captain Gil Fleming has taken a mysterious leave of absence from the interstellar cruise ship Nebula Zephyr and disappeared. Maeve, the ship’s governing Artificial Intelligence is the only one who knows why he left and where he went. Desperately worried after months of silence from him, she takes drastic steps to organize a small rescue mission of loyal crew members.
Can she manage to create and maintain a humanoid body as ancient aliens taught her to do, driven by her love for the captain and fear for his life? Or will her challenges and anxieties overcome her determination to find and rescue Gil, resulting in failure? As the humans on her team struggle to accept the AI they’ve known and worked with for years in her humanoid form, they have to place all their trust in her because in the wild territories at the edge of the Sectors civilization where she wants to take them, there’s no law and no help to be had. Will they find Gil Fleming in time? And if they do, how will he react to Maeve and the others interfering in his private war? Is the love between the two of them enough to overcome the challenges ahead? A 41K word novel.
HALLOWEEN WITH THE KLAGAN: KLAGAN WARRIORS by Holly Hanzo
After a devastating explosion rocks Klaga, human botanist Casey Ward embarks on a charity mission. She’s looking for seeds to restock the food supply, but she finds Sevvax instead – guarded, disabled, and more home in the wild mountain than the city. Sevvax knows he looks like a monster, so he resolves to watch over Casey’s mission from a distance. But the weather forces him to intervene, he can only hope she doesn’t run screaming back into the storm. He could teach her how to survive up here, even if she doesn’t want to stay. Casey’s choice could define her future: Return to civilization or learn to see past Sevvax’s abrasive, thorny exterior. She wants to help her adopted planet, but can she truly let go of the one who has become her protector, her ally, and soulmate?
