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 80+ titles featured this week):
BRIDE OF THE RUTHLESS ALIEN (SURVIVOR BRIDES OF TAJSS BOOK THREE) by Miranda Martin
I’m a teacher, not a soldier—but I’m the one they send into the desert. Our camp is a fragile alliance of three races and four rival factions, all refugees driven from the underground tunnels we barely escaped. Tensions are high, trust is thin, and everyone knows one wrong move could tear us apart. Then the hybrid children begin reacting to something none of us can see. There are reports of an ancient city somewhere beyond the dunes—one that might protect us—but no one knows where it is. The children do. I’m the only one who understands what they’re sensing well enough to guide us, which makes me indispensable—and a liability. My assigned protector is one of the orc-like Urr’ki. Deadly. Controlled. Unforgiving. Feared for his ruthless efficiency, even as the endless desert unsettles him as much as it threatens us all. Forced to cross hostile terrain together, sharing shelter, watch shifts, and responsibility for two determined children, survival forges a dangerous intimacy. He guards my body. I guard our future. And somewhere between duty and desire, we become something neither of us planned. But the city we’re searching for doesn’t just offer refuge. It judges. It chooses. And once it does, Tajss will never be hidden again.
ALIEN AWAKENING (ALIEN WOLF TALES) by Honey Phillips
She was meant to sleep forever. When Ember Duvain’s ship explodes, her escape capsule locks her in stasis and crashes deep in Cresca’s mountains. She awakens in the arms of a brooding alien wolf shifter who trusts no one. Rykan doesn’t trust easily. Betrayal drove him from his pack, and he has no patience for fragile princesses who need protecting. But mountain life strips away illusion. As Rykan trains Ember to survive, he realizes the sheltered heiress is far stronger than she appears. And when she uncovers proof her own family tried to steal her empire, he is determined to remain by her side.
They thought she was weak. They were wrong.
