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 87+ titles featured this week):
BOUND BY THE ALIEN BUCKAROO (COWBOY COLONY MAIL ORDER BRIDES BOOK NINE) by Ursa Dax
A black-listed bounty hunter in hiding, a bizarre alien buckaroo, and some rather frantic forced proximity…I’ve spent the last eight years chasing scumbags to the ends of the universe in my job as a bounty hunter. Until the day there’s suddenly a new bounty on my head. But the bounty is fake. I’ve been framed. And now my entire life is falling apart.
I try to hide out on an isolated planet with a no-landing order, only to get tangled up with the strangest man I’ve ever met. His name is Xennet. And if I want to survive on this planet, it looks like I’ll need to rely on him. Except it turns out Xennet is precisely the same sort of person I’ve devoted my life to putting behind bars – a murderer. And worse than that? I’m developing feelings for this shuldu-riding, cowboy-hat-wearing, knife-obsessed convict. I can’t stay with him. There’s only so long I can hide from this planet’s wardens and avoid capture. And there’s only so long until Xennet marries someone else.
Because his promised human bride is coming. And she’s coming soon.
ZERO CLUES IN ZERO G by Lynn Nodima and Scott Pogue
VS Note: Mystery with “sparks of romance”.
Dr. Elara Quinn comes aboard Celestial Crown Space Station to demonstrate her career-defining breakthrough in wormhole mathematics. She does not expect murder, sabotage, or a suspiciously attractive maintenance man who keeps following her around. Then a senator dies—and Elara becomes the prime suspect. Her carefully ordered life spins into chaos, and the far-too-capable maintenance man is either her best chance of surviving long enough to clear her name or the last person she should trust. With a killer somewhere aboard, every answer leading to more questions, and Elara’s brilliant, unpredictable mother determined to “help,” solving the mystery may require more than mathematics. It may require trusting the wrong man.
