VS: I have a new release this week as well!
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 70+ titles featured this week):
RESOLUTION (PLANET OF LAST RESORT BOOK THREE by Veronica Scott
VS Note: Technically there are 3 books in the main series, this being #3, but there are also two novellas. Sorry for the numbering confusion!
Dr. Melisande Jericho returned home to Randal Four to find herself in the middle of an undead apocalypse. Together with Captain Jeff Pearson and his team of Sectors Special Forces operators she’s been making her way across the planet toward the sanctuary of Pearson’s homestead claim in the north. Battling swarms of the infected, treating surviving humans in need of medical care, and taking down a local warlord have taken their toll on Melly. At the same time they’ve also been seeking answers to how the viral outbreak happened and who might have been behind the situation. While she and Jeff have fallen in love as they battled the infected together and endured hardship and danger, Melly is apprehensive now as the most daunting task lies ahead – infiltrating the large refugee camp run by former government authorities who may or may not have a secret agenda. Can she forgive Jeff for taking her into such a perilous situation? Will they find the answers he needs? While her trust in the man she loves is absolute even he may not be able to save her life when she’s targeted by the very enemy they’ve been seeking. Matters come to a head and the future of the planet and every surviving human is at stake with only Melly and Jeff and a few of their comrades to stand in the way of complete disaster. 59K words. Can be read as a standalone, some spoilers for the earlier books.
CAVEMAN ALIEN’S HEAT (CAVEMAN ALIENS BOOK 29) by Calista Skye
In a frozen alien world, survival has rules. Breaking them could cost everything. Riley never expected to crash on a glacier, surrounded by icy wastes and predatory dinosaurs. She expected even less to survive it. Stranded alongside Nator’ax, a lethal jungle warrior bound by honor, her life depends on the one man sworn to protect her… and forbidden to touch her. He is her shield, her guide, her only ally in a world that would swallow her whole. But the closer they get, the harder it is to remember the line he can’t cross. When an ice-bound tribe captures them on forbidden ground, the verdict is swift and merciless: Nator’ax will die. Riley will be kept. She knows what that means: Used. Claimed and broken into something she would rather die than become. Now, honor is no longer enough. To save her, Nator’ax must risk everything – his oath, his tribe, his life, and the fragile control he’s held over his desire from the start. Because Riley is more than a woman stranded in the wrong place: she’s the one thing he was never meant to want. And the one thing he will not lose. Even if it means unleashing horrors that will make an entire tribe regret the day they took her.
