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):
THAWED GLADIATOR FLAVIUS (AWAKENED FROM THE ICE BOOK EIGHT) by Ava York
A brilliant scholar chasing the truth…Dr. Sophia Vitale has dedicated her career to proving gladiators were more than bloodsport. When she’s granted unprecedented access to study living Roman gladiators at Second Chance Sanctuary, it’s the opportunity she’s been waiting for—and one misstep could cost her everything. She never expected to meet a man who unraveled her this completely. Copper-haired, magnetic, and devastatingly perceptive, he unsettles her in ways no research ever has. His focus is deliberate. His presence dismantles her hard-won control. And the way he watches her—like he’s memorizing every reaction—turns measured interviews into encounters that leave her breathless and off-balance. She came for answers. She didn’t expect desire. ..a showman hiding deeply buried scars…They called him the Jester because he made violence look like art. Charm was his shield. Entertainment was his armor. It kept him alive in the arena—until the day he was frozen beneath the ice, where he slept for two thousand years…(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)
MARC (HUNTER SQUAD BOOK THREE) by Anna Hackett
We survived the invasion and beat the aliens. But they left something behind…Killing monsters is what I do. Like my father before me, I fight side by side with my twin brother and my squad to protect our people. Since the invasion, life is dangerous. I know how short it can be, so I live it to the fullest. I work hard on Hunter Squad, I party harder, I love a joke and a good time, and I never get tangled up in relationships. I watched my father’s grief at losing his brother. I almost lost my own twin. I’ll never let myself get in too deep. Then our squad’s pilot crashes alone in monster-infested mountains. Tiny, opinionated Colbie who’s the best pilot I know. A fierce redhead who never hesitates to stand up to me. Everything changes. Every protective instinct I have is in overdrive. I have to find her and bring her home. I’ll risk it all—monsters, raging rivers, dangerous terrain—but when the two of us are alone and fighting for survival, I realize that what’s most at risk is the one thing I’ve always guarded—my heart.
