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):
RAINSE: STARLIGHT MERMEN #3 (INTERGALACTIC DATING AGENCY) (STARLIGHT ALIEN MAIL ORDER BRIDES BOOK NINE) by Skye MacKinnon
A shipwrecked woman. A mysterious merman. A secret that could drown them both. When a whale capsizes her boat, marine biologist Verity is left stranded in the vast, merciless ocean. But the sea hides more than sharks and shadows. Beneath the waves waits Rainse — a wounded alien merman from a faraway planet. He saves her life. She steals his heart. Drawn together by fate and fear, Verity and Rainse must navigate a world of glittering reefs and deadly secrets where love may be their only way to survive. But the ocean isn’t done with her yet — and Rainse’s people guard their own mysteries fiercely. Perfect for readers of romantic sci-fi and fantasy with adventure, spice, and alien mermen, Rainse dives deep into love, loss, and the call of the sea.
BABY FOR THE ALIEN WARRIOR (TREASURED BY THE ALIEN BOOK 14) by Honey Phillips
A warrior with nothing left to give. A woman who’s lost too much. A miracle that changes everything. Dr. Corinne Vale thought her life of quiet study ended the day she was abducted and sold across the stars. Now, she’s on the run with a traumatized teenage girl and a baby she risked everything to save. When she encounters Commander Selik, a huge Cire warrior with haunted eyes, she expects another cage. Instead she finds a hero. Selik has done his best to bury the past and the family he failed to save. He doesn’t expect the fierce, beautiful human he rescues to awaken feelings he thought long dead. But when a night of shared grief leads to a moment of passion, the impossible happens. Now Selik will risk everything for his fragile new family. Because sometimes the most powerful bonds are the ones you never saw coming.
