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 75+ titles featured this week):
TREASURED BY THE DRAGON WARLORD (FATED MATES OF THE SARKANII WARLORDS BOOK FIVE) by Hattie Jacks
This huge scaly alien dragon warlord thinks I belong to him…he is wrong. My life in the last few years hasn’t been easy, but being abducted by aliens, kept in a pit and made to fight until I nearly died, only to be revived and made to do it all over again was a hell I thought I would never escape from. Until Dalox. The huge, silver fox of a Sarkarnii warlord, a scaled creature with wings and tail, all growls and snarls. He rescues me, but in return, he says I belong to him. I want to go home to Earth, I want to be anywhere but this galaxy, and just when I expect him to refuse me, instead he offers me everything I want. He wants me to be healed. He wants to see me whole. Little does he know, I can never be whole. Not after everything which has happened to me. My strength is my shield and I will not lower it for anyone…even him. But, as he flies me through the stars, showing me what could be, is it possible I could be wrong? Is it possible I could fall for a Sarkarnii warlord?
UNDER THE RADAR (OUTCASTS OF OLORIA BOOK FOUR) by Bea Tama
Keep calm, Nicole. You’ve only been abducted by an alien. Nothing to freak out about. Trapped aboard a ship hurtling through deep space at god-knows-what speed, Nicole does what any sensible horse therapist would—plans her escape. She has no map, no plan that actually works, and zero patience for the arrogant alien who took her. But she’s not giving up until she’s back on Earth, with her friends and her horses. Any opportunity. Any opening. She’ll take it. Arture’s got himself a handful of trouble when he abducts Nicole, but he’s determined to get her to his home planet in one piece for his mission. What his mission is he can’t remember, nor can he recall a lot about his past… but that doesn’t matter, he has orders he can’t disobey. When their ship is attacked, survival forces Arture and Nicole to work together… and the line between enemy and ally starts to blur. The more they pretend to trust one another, the more real it becomes. But the closer they get, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because when Arture finally remembers who he is—and his deadly mission—Nicole’s heart will be the price of his obedience. One impossible truth remains: He was never meant to love her, but now he can’t let her go.
