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 100+ titles featured this week):
THE NAGA SHAMAN’S PREGNANT MATE (SERPENTS OF SERANT BOOK EIGHT) by Robin O’Connor
Stranded. Pregnant. Hunted. Falling for a deadly alien shaman was not in my birth plan. Nala – I woke in a glowing coffin, belly heavy, panic clawing at my throat. Then he appeared—white scales, golden eyes, and a voice like velvet over steel. He saved me… but I don’t know if I can trust anyone, not after what the Krektar did. I just want to protect my baby. That’s it. But the Krektar aren’t gone—they survived the crash, and they want me back. Artek says I’m his fated mate. I say I need a weapon.But when his strange little beast curls up beside me and he treats me like something sacred… I start to wonder if I’ve found something I didn’t know I needed: safety. Maybe even family. Artek –
She is not of this world, yet the bond sings in my blood. I am Shaman, warrior and scholar, one of the last keepers of my people’s truths—and she is mine. The Krektar have survived. They will not take her. I will kill for her, die for her, and live only for her. But this world holds more than beasts and ruins. Ancient secrets stir. Nala and her child are part of what’s to come—and I will stand between them and every shadow that rises.
XARA AND THE XENOBEAST (ALIEN ABDUCTION BOOK 24) by Honey Phillips
Abducted from Earth. Left for dead in a world full of monsters. Claimed by the most dangerous one of all…Xara’s quiet vacation comes to an abrupt end when she is abducted by aliens. Her situation goes from bad to worse when she crash lands on a mysterious alien planet. She’s injured, alone, and every creature on the planet seems determined to kill her. Until one of them saves her. Huge, silent, and scarred, he doesn’t speak, doesn’t smile, and doesn’t let her out of his sight. But he cares for her. Feeds her. Protects the orphaned alien babies who’ve imprinted on her. The Xenobeast was designed for destruction. Exiled by the creators who once controlled him, he’s lived in isolation for years. Until a pretty little female stumbles into his domain with fire in her eyes and a scent that drives him mad. She’s soft where he’s hard. Light where he’s dark. And every time she looks at him, he forgets the monster they made him to be. But when Xara is threatened, he’ll show them exactly how lethal he can be – because no one takes what belongs to him.
