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 105+ titles featured this week):
SECRECY (WARRIORS OF THE DREXIAN ACADEMY BOOK FIVE) by Tana Stone
The Drexian Academy has four schools–or does it? Everyone has always believed Tivek to be an academy washout, a cadet who was given the consolation prize of being the academy master’s adjunct. Human cadet Morgan has always found the enigmatic Drexian mysterious and intriguing, and she’s always believed there was more to him. When she catches him sending a secret transmission during a mission, she’s shocked to learn that he isn’t who everyone believes him to be. Tivek is part of a fifth school in the academy, but it’s one that no one knows about, no one can decide to join. The Shadows are the covert espionage school steeped in secrecy and whispers, and you can only become a Shadow by being recruited. Morgan agrees to keep Tivek’s secret. But as they get deeper into the mission, it becomes harder to hide the truth and harder to resist the pull of the gorgeous spy–and of The Shadows themselves. Will keeping Tivek’s secrets be the answer she’s been searching for, or will it cost Morgan everything?
TAKEN BY THE ALIEN MERKING: ABDUCTED BY THE RUTHLESS ROYAL by Celia Kyle
Earth’s future hangs by a thread…Captain Brooke Harris has earned her stripes and busted her butt to make one thing possible: a new home beyond a dying planet. Her mission to Sanos is a desperate gamble, but if she can secure asylum from one of its ruling species it will mean her sisters aren’t doomed to a destiny of dehydration and death. And by all that is holy, Brooke won’t leave Sanos until she has an agreement in hand and her sisters’ life secured. Alien Merking Zetron Kallithar has little interest in the pleas of these Earth “hoomans.” Sanos has enough problems without adding another land-based species to the mix. All he needs to do is make it through a short meeting and let the odd alien go without a treaty in hand. Then he meets the delectable, dark-skinned goddess that calls herself Captain. Any worries about the treaty dissolve as one thing becomes clear: Zetron will take her, and he will make her his.
