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 60+ titles featured this week):
CAPTURING HIS DRAGON (ALIEN MASTERS OF A’LLURE BOOK TWO) by Bella Barwin
She stands before me like a vision of fire—hair the color of a blood-lit sunset, skin shimmering with molten gold. She’s breathtaking. But she isn’t what she seems. She’s a stowaway. A shapeshifting dragon who’s infiltrated my ship, slipped past my crew, and she dares to think she can remain unseen. But we found her, and she’s now locked in our security’s jail. Defiant. Untamed. A provocation I cannot ignore. She stirs every ruthless instinct I keep buried, igniting a hunger as dangerous as it is undeniable. And she will learn—my grip is unyielding, my justice merciless, and once I take hold of her, there will be no escape.
CAVEMAN ALIEN’S BABY (CAVEMAN ALIENS BOOK 27) by Calista Skye
Theodora – I had one safe place on this deadly planet. One place where I could hide from the dinosaur-infested alien jungle trying to kill me. Then my broken-down flying saucer was claimed by a caveman alien who marched inside, announced he lived here now, and moved in with his baby daughter, whom he clearly treasures above all else. Now I’m a guest in my own home, waiting for the moment this eight-foot-tall, bearded, laser-eyed brute decides I’m no longer welcome. Yes, he’s saved my life more than once. Fine, the baby is adorable. And sure, he makes my pulse race in ways I absolutely do not have time for, especially if that very obvious reaction under his loincloth is any indication. But I need to get back to Earth. I’m armed, desperate, and running out of options. If this alien stands in my way, things are going to get physical. Just not in a way he’s expecting…Kenz’ox – Theodora is an alien. But she is also a woman. That should be impossible. There are no women on Xren. Still, I have a daughter of my own. The Ancestors gifted her to me. And my tribe tried to kill her for it. Little Aker’iz must be protected at all costs. The strange metal ship the alien woman lives in is the safest place on this cursed world. The problem is Theodora herself. I cannot look away from her soft, dangerous shape. From her defiance. From the way she smells of lightning and fire and temptation. She challenges me, threatens me… and draws me in all the same. She wants to leave. I need her to stay. Because if she goes, she will take more than my shelter with her. She will take my heart. And the future I never knew was possible.
