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 93+ titles featured this week):
TAMING THE ALIEN OUTLAW (BRIDES OF THE BOHNARI BOOK TWO) by Erin Hale
Janik – A war is brewing between the rebel forces I lead and the prince whose crown should belong to me. Except, instead of preparing to fight, I’m distracted by the arrival of the human brides. Or rather, by one of them. After a chance encounter, I can’t stop thinking about her. When I spot Olivia walking with another male, the mating fever scorches my veins and the beast in my head roars “MINE.” A possessive impulse strikes, and I take her, hiding us away within the rainforest where the rebel camp lies. Olivia – Good things never come to those of us in the bottom tier. Not even being chosen in a bridal lottery and bound for an advanced alien planet. Nothing’s changed despite no longer being on Earth, because nobody mentioned the impending war on Bohna. When the rebel leader takes me captive, my intentions are to make his life miserable. What I don’t count on is how much I enjoy verbally sparring with him. Or the spark of attraction that grows with each passing day. The longer I’m around Janik, the more I realize someone’s been lying to us…about everything. Now I have to decide who to believe and if I should actually trust the rebel outlaw. Especially with my heart.
HEALING CREEK (ARENA DOGS BOOK THREE) by Charlee Allden
VS note: Really nice to see a new book in this series.
Creek was made to be a weapon. One of the feared ‘Arena Dogs’—genetically engineered warriors bred to fight and die at the whim of their Roma masters—he was their enforcer, the one they used to keep others in line. But now he’s broken, cast out, and alone in a way his kind were never meant to be. Until he’s drawn into the growing rebellion to free the Arena Dogs… and meets a woman who sees him more clearly than anyone ever has. Grace has always been fragile. Sheltered by her family, she’s spent her life being protected—until the Roma Company makes her a pawn in their brutal game. But Creek doesn’t see her as weak. And for the first time, she wonders if she’s strong enough to fight back. Maybe even strong enough to claim a future with the battle-scarred warrior who sees her for more than just her past. But Grace has a secret. One that could cost them their chance at freedom—if it doesn’t destroy them first.
