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 70+ titles featured this week):
ALIEN IN THE DEPTHS (THRYAL MATES BOOK TWO) by Celia Kyle
She went looking for adventure…and found the biggest one yet—love. While exploring ancient catacombs on the alien planet Thryal, Sofia crosses paths with Zaraq, an alien fugitive hiding in the depths. While their meeting might have been odd… it also seemed like fate, especially when sparks instantly flew between them. When Zaraq is accused of a murder he didn’t commit, Sofia puts her own life at risk to prove his innocence. She’s willing to do anything to prove Zaraq is innocent—no matter the cost. To clear his name, they must stop a killer who enjoys framing others and targeting those Zaraq loves most. To save each other, Sofia and Zaraq must risk everything. But can their newfound love survive this trial by fire? Or will the murderer extinguish their future before it’s begun?
SAY YOU’LL STAY by Anna Callaway
VS note: Okay, I had to one click – you know me and post apocalyptic romances. I enjoyed the book very much – they were a sweet couple.
Olivia never imagined giving birth in a subway bathroom while the infected pounded on the door. She didn’t expect her husband to turn into one of them, either. Rescued by Cole, she clings to him as her only chance of survival for both her and her baby. He’s gruff and reserved but she soon feels safer with him than she ever did with her late husband. She’ll fight to stay by Cole’s side as the world crumbles around them. Cole’s only mission is to find his best friend until Olivia and her newborn baby derail his plans. The world has fallen into chaos, and he’s been surviving alone, but now he’s playing protector to a woman he just met. Navigating a crumbling city full of the undead is hard enough. Keeping them all alive might be the most dangerous challenge yet. As they journey to the safety of the mountains, they realize that they share similar pasts, and a bond forms between them. In a world shattered to pieces, love was never part of the plan, but sometimes, the end of everything is only the beginning.
