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 101+ titles featured this week):
FATED TO THE DRAKARN COMMANDER (DRAKARN MATES BOOK FOUR) by Kate Rudolph
Drakarn warrior, deadly enforcer, feared mentor, and shield to the weak in a world of molten rock and razor-sharp wings, this is what I am. I never waver…until she crashes into my fortress and demolishes every ironclad rule I’ve ever held. Hawk is human: smaller than my kind, yet braver than any warrior I’ve ever known. From the instant her scent sears my senses, I know two truths: she is mine, and I will break worlds to protect her. But forging a bond with an alien female inflames ancient grudges and council politics—each side eager to shred our alliance before it blooms. And when enemy forces appear demanding human blood, there are those in Scalvaris eager to give her up. They call me ruthless for locking her in my private quarters, for guarding her every step, but she’s too precious to lose. Rival clans plot war, temple priests preach doom, and eagle-eyed enemies circle for the kill. I’ll face them all—wings flared, claws bared—to keep her safe. A Drakarn’s mate isn’t a choice. She’s fate. And a Drakarn warrior never surrenders what belongs to him.
WRECKAGE ROAD: AN APOCALYPTIC THRILLER (THE WRECKAGE SERIES BOOK ONE) by Barbara J Barker
VS note: Just finished this, pretty well done. Very mild romantic elements (a few glances and thoughts). I pre-ordered book two.
A cataclysmic earthquake shatters the Cascadia Subduction Zone, triggering massive tremors, 100-foot tsunamis, and the collapse of entire cities. The destruction spirals across the West Coast and beyond, ripping open the San Andreas fault and other hidden fractures in the Earth’s crust. Civilization unravels, leaving the once-thriving West Coast in ruins. But the true nightmare is just beginning. In Oregon, the ground refuses to settle. New and terrifying threats emerge as the survivors struggle to make sense of a world torn apart. Among them are Reed Walker, a battle-hardened EMT from Albany, and Chloe Cooper, a resilient high school biology teacher. Together, with children and dogs in tow, they must navigate a landscape of chaos and danger. But surviving the tremors is just the start. They must face obstacles beyond imagination, trust each other, and fight to escape before the earth swallows them whole.
