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 90+ titles featured this week):
RAAZE (ALIEN BERSERKERS OF IZAEA BOOK FOUR) by Mina Carter
Her ship. Her rules. Her unwelcome (handsome) alien problem. Cait Rhenn took the run to Parac’Norr because no one else in the company would touch it. She didn’t expect to end up with a near-fatal landing, evidence of sabotage, or to be chatted up by seven feet of heavily-muscled sexy alien with ‘player’ written all over him. He’d taken one look at her and written her off as easy. His mistake. She might be immune to his kind of charm, but not to being slung over a broad shoulder and carried aboard her own ship when the prison alarms go off. By the time she stopped cursing him, the warrant for their arrest was already on the broadcast… her ship registration flagged from one end of the sector to the other as a wanted vessel. Trapped on a ship the size of a shoebox with seven feet of unrepentant flirt was bad enough. Worse was the way she kept thinking about the kiss he’d conned out of her, and worse still, how much she wanted another one…His face was on a billion billboards. Now there’s a warrant on it. The highest-paid striker in a generation, Raaze was the king of warball… his face on every billboard from Lathar Prime to the outer colonies. But then a faked Blood Rage diagnosis stripped his name and dumped him on a prison planet…(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)
WILD LOVE (ALIEN BRIDE RACE BOOK EIGHT) by Sybur Phyre
Tessi – I’m in a dead-end job with no future. Scavenging shipwrecks and space junk that’s fallen to Earth was never my dream. It just pays the bills. But I’m slowly being pushed out by machines, forcing me to take more and more risks to scavenge the areas they can’t reach. After a fall from a steep hillside nearly kills me, I realize I need a change and sign up for the Alien Bride Race. When the alien males tear across the fields, chasing us women like feral animals, I start to wonder what I’ve got myself into. But the shifter that catches me is a sweet, protective, and muscled beast with an interesting proposition. If I pick him, I get him and his brother. That is, if his brother will accept me.
Their story is heartbreaking. I can’t bring myself to say no. When I meet Zorin’s older brother, I’m certain I’ve made the right decision. He and my dog seem to find an understanding that helps him open up to us…and to me. Planet Mindor is still recovering from a recent battle with the empire. Denarsoan alien enemies lurk in distant orbit, eager to scavenge wreckage and unguarded females. But I know this game. So when my new mates are called into battle, I’m not letting them go alone. I’ve lost one family. I’m not losing another…(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)
