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 100+ titles featured this week):
FLETCHER: THORNSCORE VOL TWO by EG Manetti
FLETCHER – Once a galaxy-renowned Moon Racer, Fletcher’s competitive career ended in the battle for the Thirteenth System. Shot down over Bright Star Deuce, he was fortunate to survive, his left arm and leg replaced with state-of-the-art prosthetics. Now only half a warrior, he is relegated to testing new technologies for Serengeti. The first step is the Fourth System, where the technology will be tested before being deployed to the Thirteenth System. However, there are forces in the Thirteen Systems that do not want the colonization to succeed and will do anything to ensure the expedition’s failure. When chance places Clarice on the same transport to the Fourth System, he discovers the former apprentice has developed into a beguiling woman. Torn between duty and desire, he must forge a new path into the future. CLARICE – Once a lowly apprentice, her skill, courage, and honor promoted Clarice to legalistics protégé. Through years of deprivation, she learned to value every success. Years of humiliation have conditioned her to weigh every relationship for benefit and never risk her heart. Handsome, charismatic, and a warrior of impeccable lineage, Fletcher Detrenti has been on the periphery of her life for half a decade. She admired his bravery, respected his honor, and enjoyed his easygoing nature. She was shocked by the withdrawn and taciturn man who returned from war. Bound for a distant system in his company, she cannot resist the pull between them.
ROCK HARD ALIEN (ALIEN SOLAR WARRIORS BOOK ONE) by January Bell
I just wanted to check on my grandma’s chickens. Next thing I know, I’m being abducted by aliens and thrown in a cell with a huge, muscled alien who’s twice my size. Apparently, he wouldn’t let me go, and he doesn’t intend to any time soon. Thanks to the fact we can’t communicate, I don’t know if he’s decided he’s my own personal body guard or if he’s clinging to me for some… other rock hard reason. I’ve watched enough true crime shows in my life to know we do not want to let our captors take us to another location. Working to escape together feels right. It’s easy—even if I can’t understand a word he says. When we crashland on an inhospitable planet, I have to depend on him to survive. It’s not all bad, though… I’m finding ways of communicating with my big alien that are much more fun than talking.
