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):
UNWRAPPED BY THE ALIEN (HOLIDAY HEARTMATES BOOK ONE) by Julie K Cohen
To guard my secret, I may have to let this alien Santa unwrap me for Christmas. Hundreds of presents, wrapped, tagged, and ready for delivery… or so I thought. My name’s Noelle Snow, and this year’s charity drive was supposed to be simple: wrap the toys, spread the joy, and definitely not get caught doing something that isn’t exactly in the rulebook. When I walk into the warehouse, I find a blue, tattooed alien warrior—with horns that could give Rudolph a complex—tearing through the toys, looking for stolen blasters. The stubborn male refuses to leave. This is my Christmas charity project, and he’s not going to ruin it. Since I can’t get rid of him, I’ll keep him busy. Let Operation Santa commence! Playing Santa should keep his curious hands out of trouble. Except now those divine hands and sinful lips won’t stay off me! And every time he smiles, Snow—and I don’t mean the fluffy stuff—melts a little more. If I don’t lose my blue Santa soon, I’ll end up the one getting unwrapped for Christmas… and something tells me he doesn’t stop at the ribbon.
I MARRIED KAYOG (PRIME MATING AGENCY) by Regine Abel
VS Note: Author sez: ” It is highly recommended to first read I Married an Incubus to better appreciate the later parts of the book. Although you will not be lost if you read this book first, be aware that it contains major spoilers about the Incubus story.”
She was his peace and his salvation. His whole life, Kayog has made it his mission to project the image of the male who has it all. But deep down, he’s broken by the endless torment that plagues him. Until Linsea. His impossible dream. His peaceful dove. The mesmerizing song of her soul enthralls him and makes him covet a future he knows he can’t have. He shouldn’t pursue her, but how can he not when she’s his soulmate? The moment Linsea lays eyes on Kayog, she’s enthralled by him. Smart, charismatic, talented, and handsome, he’s a literal rockstar whose attention everyone vies for. And yet, he only has eyes for her. Discovering the dark secret he desperately tries to keep hidden behind his mask of perfection should make her run. Instead, it makes her want to fight for him… for them. With the odds stacked against them, can they overcome the insurmountable obstacles thrown their way, or will their relentless efforts to save his life seal his doom instead?
