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 85+ titles featured this week):
MY BIG SCALY ALIEN NAGA (STARLIGHT MONSTERS BOOK THREE) by Skye MacKinnon
She was never meant to survive. He was never meant to care. He’s a dangerous naga working deep undercover. She’s his fated mate – cryofrozen, vulnerable, and about to be dropped into a deadly alien game for the galaxy’s entertainment. Venom has one job: expose the game makers and shut down the Trials. But when he discovers that one of the captive women is his mate, everything changes. He’ll hack, lie, and fight his way through enemies and monsters to get her back – even if it means blowing his cover and facing death. Clare wakes up naked in a metal coffin with no memory and no clue she’s been cast as the damsel in a brutal alien reality show. But Clare isn’t just a victim – she’s a survivor. And she’s about to fall for the lethal alien wrapped in coils and secrets.
ALIEN HEIR (COSMIC MATES BOOK SEVEN) by Cara Bristol
Marry a stranger to escape an arranged marriage? Sure, why not? Prince Jaryk Rullok-Myka has a royal-sized problem. His parents are hell-bent on marrying him off to a noblewoman he’s met exactly twice. But his evil-genius little brother finds a loophole: if Jaryk’s already married, he’s off the hook. Enter Cosmic Mates and one reluctant human bride. Kismet Kennedy isn’t here for love. She joined the galactic matchmaking service to avoid being separated from her twin sister—so of course she gets matched first. Her new husband? An alien “government official” from Kaldor with a killer jawline and way too many secrets. They’ll stay married for a year, then go their separate ways. Easy. Until royal drama, ex-lovers, scheming siblings, and inconvenient feelings turn their fake marriage into something dangerously real. Buckle up—it’s going to be a bumpy ride to happily ever after. Cosmic Mates sci-fi romances are released in “duets,” each two-book set is its own mini-series.
