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):
GRUMPY ALIEN BOSS (GAL FRIDAY BOOK ONE) by Cara Bristol
He’s the worst boss in the galaxy—and she’s not afraid to tell him so. Savannah Mays has always been a top-tier executive assistant—until one catastrophic run-in with her boss gets her fired and blacklisted. With bills piling up and no other options, she signs on with GAL Friday, Earth’s premier temp agency supplying human workers to aliens. It’s supposed to be a temporary fix. Emphasis on temporary. Vice President Stratos of OberTech’s R&D division is brilliant, demanding, and famously impossible to work for. When his long-suffering assistant dares to go on maternity leave and HR fails to find a replacement brave enough to survive him, he reluctantly turns to GAL Friday. Enter Savannah. From the moment they meet, sparks fly—and not the pleasant kind. He’s grumpy, blunt, and allergic to small talk. She’s sharp-tongued, fearless, and refuses to be intimidated by a six-foot-something alien executive with a permanent scowl. Their constant clashes quickly ignite into something far more dangerous than workplace tension. Because beneath the snark and scowls lies undeniable chemistry—and a conspiracy that could cost them everything.
LOST IN TRANSIT (YOU’VE GOT ALIEN MAIL BOOK EIGHT) by Lara Roth
KRILLY: The delivery was simple: land on the jungle planet, drop off ApexCorp’s sealed cargo, get out. Instead, my ship exploded on impact, my beacon died, and I woke up pinned under wreckage with a seven-foot Varkaani gladiator standing over me. Horgox “The Hammer” Ka’reen is emerald-skinned, scar-covered, and hasn’t been touched with kindness in eight years. His bioluminescent markings betray everything he’s feeling when I get close—flushing gold when I make him laugh, burning white when I’m in danger. When ApexCorp comes to reclaim their “defective product,” I don’t run. I stake my entire career on keeping him free. Because Horgox isn’t defective—he’s the best thing that’s ever crashed into my life. HORGOX: I was created to fight. Engineered for violence, trained to kill, discarded when I developed the one flaw ApexCorp couldn’t tolerate: a conscience. My defect? I refused to kill a child. They spent eight years trying to fix what was never broken. Then a small, stubborn courier crashes through my sky and hands me her tools like I’m not the most dangerous thing on this planet. Krilly talks too much, smiles too easily, and undoes three centuries of restraint with a wrench and her reckless, devastating kindness. She thinks she’s protecting me. She doesn’t understand: I have killed champions in the arena without flinching. But the thought of losing her? That is the one thing I cannot survive.
