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 98+ titles featured this week):
HOODED (GLADIATORS OF TH GRYN BOOK FIVE) by Hattie Jacks
Feral and violent, I’ve just accidentally abducted this growly alien gladiator! I’m probably the galaxy’s worst bounty hunter, but I swear on my life, my tech told me the unconscious male I found was my mark. Now I have a very, very angry Gryn gladiator in my hold who shouldn’t be there and I don’t know what to do with him. Once he’s calmed to a mere simmer, Klynn demonstrates his ability to escape from any where he pleases and I have no option but to strike a deal if I don’t want to wake up with a Gryn attempting to eat me alive. Although, as scarred as Klynn might be, he has abs for days, a dangerous handsome face and a way of looking at me which heats my core and chills my blood at the same time. The eating part might end up being entirely voluntary. But our deal means nothing when we’re abducted together by another set of aliens who want him to make a baby with me…or we both die. This wasn’t what I was expecting when I embarked on my new career, and, as it turns out, Klynn has even less experience in the baby making department than I do. Which means it’s down to me to teach him the ropes. Not what I signed on for, but a challenge I’m ready to accept…to save my life and his.
THE HERD SERIES BOOK ONE by Jenny Abamu
VS Note: Cliffhanger
The year is 2065, and Washington, D.C. stands on the brink of collapse after the United States loses the information war, leaving society fractured into cutthroat tribal factions. In the midst of this chaos, Feonix Cheenoma—a brilliant young editor from one of the city’s poorest wards—receives a desperate plea from her dying uncle: enter a contest to lead Station 7, the last media empire still claiming to be trustworthy, and restore a fragile democracy on the verge of destruction. But as Feonix digs into the stories that Station 7 refuses to tell, she unravels a tangled web of lies, power plays, and shocking family secrets—discovering that even the “last trustworthy source” may not be what it seems. With the fate of a fractured nation hanging in the balance, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to uncover the truth, all while wrestling with her growing attraction to the contest’s arrogant yet compelling victor, James Han.
