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 55+ titles featured this week):
BOUND (GLADIATORS OF THE GRYN BOOK THREE) by Hattie Jacks
The alien virus I caught after I was taken from Earth has left me a shadow of my former self. The only saving grace, my voice is unaffected, but it means I’m the songstress to a wealthy alien who keeps me like a canary in a gilded cage. Then, after someone attempts to assassinate him, he employs a gruff, grumpy former Gryn gladiator as his personal bodyguard. Rych is intimidating and handsome in equal measure, with a penchant for training outside my window in the early morning, all muscles, feathers and very little in the way of clothing. I might be able to sing, but speaking to him is a different matter entirely, and I’m sure a virtual god like Rych wouldn’t want a broken thing like me anyway. Until the assassin strikes again and I find myself stuck in a cave with a massive feathered gladiator who is too hot for words. As we attempt to get back to Tatatunga and he takes care of me without making me feel like a burden, I find myself falling more and more for my big brooding bodyguard. Until I discover the truth about the virus infecting me and if we don’t find a cure, then not only will I lose him, I’ll lose my life. And I’m not ready to die yet. AmazonKU

He was the dream mate she never expected. When Ophelia seeks the services of the Prime Mating Agency to find her soulmate, she’s floored to learn that her perfect match is Gaelec, an intimidating, feline-looking ex-convict.

And yet, he soon finds himself unable to resist the sweet but strong woman, with her adorable freckles and adventurous spirit who makes him want to purr again. With so many forces conspiring to bend him to their will, can Gaelec finally find the peace and happiness he seeks with his Ophelia, or will they bring him down a dark path again?
