New Releases in #SciFi #Fantasy and Paranormal Romance for Wednesday July 15

I have a new book of my own to report: IVOKK, the new Badari Warriors series release!

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 LOL).

***********************************************************************

IVOKK: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL (SECTORS NEW ALLIES SERIES BOOK 12) by Veronica Scott

Proud enforcer of the Badari South Seas pack, Ivokk undertakes a secret mission back to their former home, in search of a cure for a mysterious illness affecting his soldiers, now in exile in the north. He’s ready to make any sacrifice to find the answer and help his pack brothers stay strong. He’s even willing to accept responsibility for the human woman assigned to the mission, although she’s a headstrong civilian, difficult and rumored to dislike his kind.

Sandara DiFerria was once a three star chef in the Sectors, but that was before the alien enemy kidnapped the entire adult population of her colony to use for experimentation. Rescued from the labs by the Badari, she does her part to support the rebellion now by running the vast commissary operation in Sanctuary Valley. All she asks is to be left alone until she can get back to the Sectors and pick up her old life again. Her one previous romantic brush with a Badari soldier turned out badly, ending in public humiliation. Add to that post-traumatic stress from her life before moving to the colony and she’s the last person to pick for a top secret mission. Or so she believes.

The Alpha running the pack disagrees and sends her to do the job under Ivokk’s watchful eye. Thrown together by the nature of the task they must undertake, the undeniable attraction they both feel grows. Will the dark secrets of Sandara’s hidden past create an insurmountable barrier between them? Can Ivokk and the tempestuous human chef find the answer to the Badari illness in time? Or will the elements and the enemy bring disaster?

THE LIBRARIAN AND THE BEAST: A MINTAR ROMANCE by S J Sanders

Beni has lived a charmed existence in Dunvar Citadel, but one that is coming quickly to an end. When she loses her position as transcriber in the citadel library to a newcomer, she knows that is only a matter of time before the council will insist that she marry. Although she dreads the idea of being one of many wives to her husband, her more immediate and pressing concern is her replacement—a man who is conspiring with the chancellor to weed out non-essential fiction that distract the women workers within the citadel.

In attempt to save the books, Beni herself ends up requiring saving when she falls into a river. Her savior, however, is far beyond anything she ever could have imagined. The Mintar is far from human in appearance and social niceties, he isn’t even particularly friendly, yet he promises to return her safely home. All that is required is a pretense of mating to keep the other males of his clan from courting her. That is certainly no hardship as far as she is concerned, especially not with so much in the village to keep occupied, alien scrolls to explore, and an opportunity to do what she loves. What she doesn’t plan on is falling in love with the stoic male who doesn’t want a mate.

Faltz carries the scars on his body and heart from losing his parents as a calf. Females are frightened by his appearance and he doesn’t consider himself worthy of having a mate and family when his parents died saving him. Caring for a lost human is an annoying inconvenience, but he is determined to see it through and get the feisty female home safely…even if that means deceiving his queen and entire clan by pretending a mating with her. When pretense turns into truth, Faltz’s honor is tested when he is forced to face one fact…when she leaves, how would he continue without her?

RAVEN’S HELL (SAVAGE WORLD BOOK 2) by Jenika Snow

VS Note: Author says “This story was previously published under the same title. It has since been re-edited, parts revised, and new content has been added.”

Collin Suthers was a kingpin of the underground before the world ended. But the destruction of civilization, the degradation and brutality, weren’t so different than the life he was used to.
 He was never considered a good man, and dealing in things that were illegal on every scope, he felt no remorse in the acts he committed. But that world was now gone, and in its place was a vicious hell.
Being savage was the only way to survive, and what he was after, the only thing that could alleviate the solitude and isolation, the bone-deep loneliness of being utterly alone… was a woman.
Rebecca Shaw had always been a survivor, so when the life she once knew ended, she was no stranger to having to fight tooth and nail to stay above water.
 When three men ambush her, she knew she couldn’t take them all on, telling herself this was the end. She’d fight to the death.
 And then Collin arrived, a beast of a man, a savage who took out her threat with little effort. She couldn’t help but wonder if the possessive side Collin showed toward her was more dangerous than the savage world itself.
 Collin wouldn’t leave Rebecca. He couldn’t. Now that he found her, his obsession for the fiery female grew daily.
 When it came to something he wanted—Rebecca—he wouldn’t ever give it up.
 She was his now.

It makes me think he wants to eat me and play with me in the most sinful ways. I don’t have time for that, but it doesn’t stop me from asking for his help. He agrees only if I promise to be his mate. Yeah, whatever. I’ll say and do just about anything to get back to my sister. Can I walk away from the flames of his desire without getting burned? Or will he make me his, effectively incinerating my intentions to leave?

ALIEN BEAST by Penelope Woods

Have you ever woken from a nightmare? Well, I sure have…It all starts when I first gaze into those beastly eyes. My vision trails, pausing at his chiseled abdomen and massive biceps, his masculine body towering like a statue. A rough growl leaves his ferocious mouth, and my body freezes.
I’ve never seen an alien like him before…He lunges, and I don’t even think to put up a struggle. I don’t dare move. Exposed, vulnerable, and afraid, I surrender to his every whim. I fall for him. Harder than a shooting star.  But as terrifying as he is, he shows me he has a heart. He’s not afraid to love me ’til the bitter end. For better or for worse, he is my alien beast.

Fight amongst each other. Their sweat glistens in the sun as they use their caveman bodies to smash things and cook them. They’re animals. Beasts. Brutes. And they’re coming for us. They think that because we crashed onto their world we’re their fated mates. That they can just pick whichever of us they fancy and throw us over their shoulder. Take her back to their cave or tree or mountain or whatever.
And claim us. Then protect us. Feed us. And make us have their babies. Well…you know what?
They’re freakin’ right. Sign me up!

Instead I find myself yearning for him to deliver on the things his smoldering eyes hint he wants to do to every inch of my body. He claims I’m his forever mate. And forever in his arms sounds mighty tempting. But is he the selfless lover I’ve always longed for, or yet another man telling me what I want to hear? And what the hell does a Xeki warrior see in a curvy human woman like myself?

She bakes cupcakes. He bakes bad guys. Together, they’ll face incomprehensible evil, experience soul-searing romance…and take care of one hapless pug. Dallin the emerald dragon knows he’s been bad. After all, he almost did the unthinkable in his quest to save his dragon brethren from fae tyranny. Now he’s trapped in the human world, his emerald dragon powers have been restrained, and he has to protect a single woman who’s as soft as the cakes she bakes. Too bad just being near her is giving Dallin all sorts of ideas he has no business entertaining.
Johanna had no clue just how much her life was going to change when Dallin the dragon showed up on her doorstep, promising his protection and awakening her to a deep wanting she’d never experienced. But even though her life’s taking an unexpected turn for the better, there are people after both of them, and all of it’s linked to a past that Dallin can’t talk about.
Fun days and sensual, sleepless nights between the lovers give Dallin the distinct impression that maybe he’s found the one—his mate. But even though a life with Johanna could make the unredeemable dragon more happy than he could stand, there’s still something broken inside him that he can’t fix. And if he doesn’t learn to let Jo in and trust his heart, an unstoppable force from the darkness may destroy everything they hold dear.

One surge of magical power could free her — or short-circuit her future. Jake Wilcox thought he’d covered their tracks when he hid his love, weather witch Adara Grant, in a remote Wyoming town under the watchful guard of the Northern Arapahoe. He should have listened to his instincts that he was making a horrible mistake. Now Addie’s gone, taken in the dead of night by the very nemesis they thought they’d eluded.

The temptation to use her wild gift to free herself is strong — but it’s not just her own life at stake. The facility is full of orphaned witches. And one faint signal that could be glimmer of hope — or a sign that luck has run out for Addie, Jake, and everyone they love.

CRACKED LINE: AN URBAN FANTASY (CATACLYSM BOOK 3) by Ann Gimpel

Vampires don’t fall in love. Except I did. Not the best decision of my long life. I definitely cracked an unspoken line, but Ariana trounced me as far as line-crossing went. Very few acts constitute crimes in Vampire circles. Hers was the worst. I fled to the Old Country to buy myself thinking time. I still loved her, but what she’d done was so vile I couldn’t set it aside. The world is a very different place from when I went into stasis. I woke to wars on every side. Vampires are scarcely strangers to battle. No one’s ever accepted us, but they’ve mostly let us be. It’s different this time. Very different. Mortals won’t rest until they’ve wiped out magic. Normally, their efforts would be laughable, but they’ve coopted help from mages. Ones they’ve imprisoned and systematically stripped of power until the poor sods would agree to anything in exchange for their freedom—and their magic. We face huge problems, but I’m tackling them one by one. I’ll return to Ariana’s side, but perhaps only as her comrade-in-arms. Time will tell if we can be more to each other. Time and circumstances. In a world without magic, Vampires will wither along with every other magic-wielder. I cannot let that happen.

GOLDEN HEIST (NOIR FAIRY TALES BOOK 3) by Linda Mooney

Looking for a quick buck to help feed her addiction, Cressa “Goldie” Locke helps herself to a nice looking house, hoping to score some jewelry to pawn. She’s perfected the art of small-time crime to keep from getting busted, but this time she may have gotten a little more than she bargained for. She picked the wrong house…or maybe it was just right. When she wakes up in a hospital bed, Cressa knows she’s been caught red-handed and there’s no getting out of it, so she has no other choice than to come clean. She wasn’t expecting the owner of the house to also be a doctor, or for him to actually care for her. Why would he, when no one else ever had?
Dr. Myles Ursa has a soft spot for taking care of those in need. After all, he took an oath when he became a physician. So when he realizes the thief he found in his house is more than just a common criminal, but someone needing help, instead of pressing charges, he vows to save her, against Detective Horner’s advice. But she could also be the golden opportunity the police need to bust the drug dealers for good. Unfortunately, word on the street is Cressa’s a snitch, and she’s got some big baddies looking for her. Enemies come in all forms, and Myles may have bitten off more than he can chew. But he’s determined to help Cressa turn her life around and clear her name, no matter how dangerous things could get.
