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 55+ titles featured this week):
HIS HUMAN BELIEVER (MONSTERS LOVE CURVY GIRLS BOOK 14) by Michele Mills
She’s the believer. He’s the skeptic. And the Hyrrokin are back. Something seriously creepy is happening in the dark jungle, just outside of my best friend’s gated community on Tarvos. The adults swear it isn’t real. The peacekeepers won’t take it seriously. A professor from the Royal Hyrrokin Academy arrives to debunk the swirling rumors before the neighbors panic. Dr. Vidar Coalstone is tall, fire-breathing, and devastatingly handsome. Black horns. Red skin. Barbed tail. Does he really need those reading glasses? He’s the most beautiful, terrifying scholar I’ve ever laid eyes on. He thinks my Intelgram crime show is sensationalist and the children who’ve made credible sightings of a ghost are mistaken. I’m the believer and he’s the skeptic. And yet, as we work on solving this mystery together, I learn we have more in common than I’d thought. Except this sexy Hyrrokin has taken a twelve-month vow of celibacy in front of his entire academic council. Twelve. Month. Vow. Oh no. And I should be helping him to maintain this vow. Ugh. Except I’m finding it so hard.
REMMEN: MINOTAUR MATES (ALIEN MATCHMAKING AGENCY BOOK THREE) by Kate Rudolph
I came to Ceres-9 to counsel traumatized alien gladiators, not fall into bed with their mayor. After my fiancé replaced me with my best friend and my last job nearly broke me, this posting was supposed to be a fresh start. Then I met Remmen. A former gladiator turned mayor with a body built for violence, and the kind of quiet authority that makes everyone around him fall into line. He’s controlled, capable, and devastatingly good at taking care of everyone but himself. He’s also completely off limits. My contract has one very clear rule: no fraternizing with the men I’m here to help. If we’re caught, I could lose my job, my home, and the only career I have left. Which would be easier if the way Remmen looks at me didn’t make me forget every reason I shouldn’t touch him. Easier if one stolen touch didn’t leave me wondering exactly what those enormous hands could do with the rest of me. And easier if staying away from him didn’t get harder every time I discover another piece of the male beneath the mayor. I crossed the galaxy because I needed a second chance. Falling for Remmen could destroy it. But I’m starting to think walking away from him might be the bigger mistake.
