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 90+ titles featured this week):
EINAR by Jewel Shipley and Jennifer Julie Miller
Rowan – After years of captivity, I finally escape, and in the process of running from one monster, I find myself in a world that defies belief. I’ve been abducted by creatures that only exist in mythology and every time I open my eyes, there’s a new level of hell. I pray for it all to stop. Just when I’m moments away from peace, a beast comes out of nowhere, picking me up in his huge arms, offering me what I’ve always dreamed of. Out of the darkness comes an opportunity, a second chance, and all I have to do is find enough courage to reach out and grab it. How can I believe he’s going to make it better when he’s a monster too? Einar – The gods have forsaken my family. We were abandoned in a world where we were forced to fight and steal for survival. My brothers and I raided a bug ship, expecting to loot it and leave. Instead, I found her broken and moments from death. That is when I realize everything I was subjected to prepared me for this moment. The gods knew my Starshine was broken, and I was the only one that could possibly erase the emptiness in her eyes. Can she see past the beast to the male inside?
RESCUING MARA (WARRIORS OF ARACATE BOOK TWO) by Marit Prins
Mara – My entire life has been spent in service of the Sternotheri. My mistress kept me safe and now it’s time for me to pay her back. The Warrior who rescues me claims that I’m his mate, but she says he can’t be trusted. Everyday is a battle between what I have been taught and what he makes me feel, what he makes me need. Could I be wrong? Could he be my everything? Only, will he still want me when he knows what I’ve been hiding? O’Rec – The lost Prince of Arracate, that’s what they call me throughout the Galaxy after the destruction of our planet and the loss of my family. Right now, I feel even more lost than then, because I found my mate, my Zarra, only to realize she is controlled by our nemesis. I am going to do everything in my power to rescue her, to build our bond and show her that I am not what she thinks I am, and that we can be so much more – we can be everything.
