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 111+ titles featured this week):
AZUMC: CYBORG CHRONICLES BOOK FOUR : PROJECT ENTERPRISE by Pauline Baird Jones
VS Note: I’ve been waiting for this one! Had it pre-ordered.
He’s a pilot in search of a mission. She’s a doctor lost in time. Can they fix each other before time runs out. Az, the robot formerly known as AzumC, is finding his return to mostly human form as challenging as his other crewmates. A ship would help. A pilot needs a ship. Luckily, the Garradians have a ship and a mission for him and his AI, Woolly: The Garradian Rescue Service. The pirates are a problem, but an even bigger problem is the mysterious woman who appears on his ship. Dr. Jacklyn Lee knows who she is and what she does. She doesn’t know where she is or how she got there. She does know one thing: if she gets sent back, she will die.
XUREK (MONSTER ON BOARD BOOK ONE) by Ava Ross and Alana Khan
It’s the intergalactic cruise of a lifetime, a chance to meet aliens and travel to exotic locales. On a lazy river excursion, I’m stuck sharing a float with Xurek, a cocky orc commander in the interstellar military. Leave it to him to insist on taking an axe on an inflatable float. The more anxious I become, the calmer he gets, which only irritates me more. I should ignore him, but I can’t. He’s too hot for his own good. It’s his fault when we capsize. I swear. When we miss our shuttle back to the ship, we’re stranded on this forsaken planet. Our only hope lies in a village on the opposite side of a dangerous jungle. Finally, his axe comes in handy—which he mentions at every opportunity. If I seek shelter—and a bit more—in his arms during the night, who can blame me? What we’re doing will end once we escape this planet. Right?
