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 85+ titles featured this week):
ALIGNED BOOK ONE by Odette C Bell
VS Note: All 4 books in the series were released at the same time so here’s the information for the first book.
When Mary, an ordinary cadet, finds out she’s a hidden princess of an ancient royal family, her normal life flips. Boring classes at the Academy are replaced with diplomatic meetings, intrigue, and far too much pressure. But that isn’t the worst part. When someone tries to assassinate her, she’s handed a security detail. And who’s the head? Only her worst nemesis – a man as arrogant as he is efficient. Lewis Bishop might not like Mary, but he’ll get the job done no matter what. Even if it yanks him on the journey of his life and sends him spiraling through the violent Milky Way and right into Mary’s arms. Aligned follows a hidden princess and her arrogant bodyguard struggling to stop an alien plot.
