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 99+ titles featured this week):
FIONN: STARLIGHT MERMEN #1 (INTERGALACTIC DATING AGENCY) by Skye MacKinnon
He’s an alien merman. She’s a failed Olympian with nothing to lose.
When Elise signs up with a mysterious dating agency, she doesn’t expect her match to be seven feet of turquoise muscle with sharp teeth, gills, and a possessive streak a mile wide.
Fionn knows Elise is his mate from the moment he sees her. But convincing a stubborn human that she belongs with him is harder than braving the Intergalactic Authority – or fighting off rivals who want her for themselves. The tides of fate are pulling them together, but if Elise won’t claim him, he may lose the only chance his people have at survival.
If you want hunky alien mermen, strong women who don’t like being told what to do, sizzling romance and happily-ever-afters, dive into the world of the Starlight Mermen.
Part of the Intergalactic Dating Agency.
ROOK: DRAGON BRIDES #11 (INTERGALACTIC DATING AGENCY) by Kate Rudolph
He came to Earth to hunt fugitives… not claim a mate who sets his blood on fire. Dragon Lord Rook is a warrior. He’s deadly, disciplined, and done with the royal matchmaking games back home. To escape the meddling, he takes a mission on a backwater planet called Earth. Track the fugitives. Serve justice. Return to the stars. Easy. Until she crashes into his path. Sasha thought the worst part of her week was running into her cheating ex. Wrong. Now she’s on the run after witnessing a deal gone very, very wrong… and the only thing standing between her and death is a massive, muscled alien with eyes like fire and a growl that promises danger… and desire. She’s human. He’s a dragon. It’s an impossible match. But Rook wants her beneath him, bonded for life. Claiming Sasha means breaking every rule. And losing her? Unthinkable.
