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 84+ titles featured this week):
BRIDE OF THE FORBIDDEN ALIEN (SURVIVOR BRIDES OF THE TAJSS BOOK) by Miranda Martin
Hope is what gets you killed on Tajss. In the city, we survived by learning that lesson early. No epis. No strength. No second chances. We became smaller… quieter… harder to notice. And we lived. Until the outsiders arrived bringing power we never had. Now everything is breaking. My people can’t handle epis. Not like they do. It burns too fast. Hits too hard. And if we don’t find a way to control it soon, it won’t save us. It will finish what the desert started. The only answer lies in a fresh zmelja trail—where epis grows in the wake of a creature that devours anything too slow to escape it. No team. Too dangerous. Just me. And him. A cavern-born Zmaj who tracks the worms like he was made for it. Silent. Controlled. Watching me like he’s already decided something I haven’t. Out here, survival means trusting him. But the closer we follow the trail, the more I realize something is wrong. The zmelja aren’t moving like it should. The desert isn’t behaving like it used to. And the way he looks at me—like I belong to him—might be the most dangerous thing of all. Because even if we survive the desert. I’m not sure he’ll ever let me go.
LEVIATHAN (LEVIATHANS BOOK TWO) by Deiri Di
Bound by a data heist. Trapped with an invisible captor. But the secrets hiding in the dark are larger than either of us can fathom. A high-heat, forced-proximity space opera romance. MARIA – I spent months as a lab rat on an isolated alien research station, dreaming of the day I could escape, until the day I stop dreaming and make my opportunity happen for myself by setting fire to the food supplies. When a mysterious, shimmering black ship docks to resupply the station, I make a desperate move…sneaking on board with a stolen data cube that I hope will buy my passage back to Earth. The problem is, I’m a trap. And I’m at his mercy. Lyrien is the only one on the ship, someone who never shows his face and tracks my every move through a fleet of cold, metallic drones. Yet, despite his physical absence, his deep masculine voice vibrates through my very core, and his fierce, protective nature sparks a primal, dangerous chemistry. I am falling head over tail for a man I’ve never even seen…oblivious to the fact that the stolen data in my hands has turned me into a lethal Trojan horse destined to destroy my invisible savior. LYRIEN – I have spent my life being careful. Never letting anyone on board, never letting anyone get close. Just to keep safe from the ruthless slavers who hunt my kind. I am bound to my sanctuary, anchored by years of hard-won restraint and a history stained in blood. But she needs my help. ..(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)
