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 65+ titles featured this week):
ADORED BY THE ALIEN WARLORD (BRIDES OF THE ZULDRUX WARRIORS BOOK FIVE) by Ava Ross
Maggie: After my twin sister and I are kidnapped from Earth, we’re separated. When the ship transporting me crashes on a distant planet, I’m captured and sold to a lizard alien. Now I’m trapped, forced to dance in a bar under the watchful gaze of a tyrant. I’ve resigned myself to never seeing my sister again when a blue-skinned Zuldruxian named Davon is hired as a bouncer at the bar. He’s fierce and kind, with teal-colored eyes that hold secrets, and he watches out for me. It doesn’t take me long to start falling in love. He says he’s been sent by my sister, that he’s going to help me escape. Can I trust him with my safety and my heart? Davon: As the leader of my clan, I’ve roamed the vast deserts of my world, seeking a purpose beyond the pain of my past. When I meet a human woman in search of her sister, I vow to find her. Maybe this will make up for the shame I caused my clan. I follow the trail of her ship and find her held captive in the Veerenad city. She’s not just a dancer in a bar, she’s the mate the gods promised me. I vow to free her, and our attraction deepens. Can I protect her from the dangers of this world and earn her trust or will my inner darkness betray us?
CLAIMED BY THE DRAKARN WARRIOR LORD (DRAKARN MATES BOOK ONE) by Kate Rudolph
I am a Drakarn warrior, protector of my people, master of blade and sky. Battles and threats are known to me, but she is a new mystery. Terra storms into my world, unlike any female I’ve encountered. Smooth-skinned, wingless, clawless… yet she radiates a fierce strength that ignites a firestorm within me. Her defiance only fuels my desire. Her scent is my obsession, her touch a torment I crave. Every instinct within me screams mate. She’s stubborn, resisting the bond that pulls us together, a bond she doesn’t yet understand. But when a Drakarn finds his mate, he does not let go. Terra harbors secrets, shadows that threaten the fragile trust blooming between us. And when those secrets draw danger to her, I will unleash the inferno. She is mine. My heart. My soul. I will scorch the skies and obliterate anyone who dares to harm who I cherish above all.
