When the op goes up in flames, forcing them together longer than he can handle, he will mate her…Kaci – Kaci needs money, fast.

When he goes into heat, what is she willing to do to complete her end of the deal?       AmazonKU

As the most hated and feared of all races, instead of living a quiet life hiding his nature, Sebastian chose to out himself and use his considerable skills to fight for the land he loves. But no matter how hard he works himself or how often he risks his life for his country, for the Resistance, for Leon Hess, the man won’t even acknowledge him! As the war rages around them, Leon and Sebastian will be forced to settle their differences, to form an unstoppable team, and to sacrifice more than they ever imagined.      AmazonKU

INVASIVE SPECIES II: TAKEN by Kaitlyn O’Connor

Captured by aliens and abandoned on a primitive alien world, Winter finds herself caught up in a private tug of war between ex-military man, Cory, and Garek, a feuer abductee from another world.
Taken from all they’d ever known, what they really needed to do was to shake their shock and hit the ground running to have any hope of surviving on the primitive world they’d been dumped on. Cory was their unofficial leader and although he set his sights on Winter right away, he had to focus on survival before he could make any kind of move toward claiming her. From what he could see, the competition wouldn’t be a huge problem anyway—at least until the aliens who’d dumped them came back with a group of abductees from another world. He began to suspect pretty quickly that their leader, Garek, was going to be a serious problem. Garek wasn’t hampered by Cory’s considerations. He saw. He wanted, and ‘the hunt’ was on—even if he had to go through Cory to claim her as his mate.

THE DEBT COLLECTOR (RISE OF THE TARNISHED BOOK 1) by Rachel Hubert

VS Note: Not a romance but a steampunk release of note.

Living in the capital is not for the faint of heart. But there are ways to delay the hunger pains, to fill up your plate, and look beyond the day to day- especially if you are willing to take out a loan to do so. As resources diminish and desperation grows, more and more have found themselves journeying to the building made of mirrors, in that office at the end of the hall, signing away on the dotted line.
The loan terms seem generous enough- a lifetime to repay what was borrowed. As Adelliah works to collect on those who do not fulfill their obligations, she will find a much deeper debt that the kingdom itself is trying to clear; one that will have her unraveling generations of secrets, and the truth behind their years without war.      AmazonKU

DOGGONE ALIEN LOVE (INTERDICTED WORLD BOOK ONE) by Loretta Johns

You’d think crashlanding on an alien planet would be horrible, especially one the life pod cheerfully told you was interdicted due to a deadly contagion. Great, huh? Instead of possibly dying in deep space, I was going to catch some horrible disease and die alone except for the tiny little dog I was supposed to be looking after becuse interdicted meant no rescue. Hooray for me! Only it doesn’t quite work out that way. The crash could very well turn out to be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It turns out that not only are there aliens living on this world but also that there’s more to the ‘deadly pathogen’ story. As for dying alone? Not only will the alien who found me not let me or the pup die, but the blue and lavender striped god of manliness has a singular focus: to make me his. Doggone Alien Love previously appeared in a much shorter form as part of the charity anthology, Claimed Among the Stars. The story has been expanded to more than twice the original length and completely re-edited.    Amazon     Apple Books     Kobo

MY MATCHED MONSTER by Rena Marks

My punishment starts today. Refusing marriage isn’t acceptable, not in my world—separated from the rest of Earth by the large stone walls of our own community. To refuse the most legendary prophet of our time in front of the entire congregation was a sentence of twenty lashes. Halfway in, I entered a hallucinogenic state. A hero came to save me, but he was purple with tentacles. Funny how your mind can blow in such an extreme state of pain. The only aliens I know are the Britonians, and they’re beautiful, physiques like Greek gods, but with gold skin. Not tan. A true shade of gold. Not horrific, imagined purple  monsters. When I wake, the beautiful gold-skinned aliens who are our benefactors enter me in the Match Program. A chance to get away from Earth for six months while I heal. I’ll be mated, sure, but I’m assured he’s noble, fair, and doesn’t expect anything from me. He’s just honored to have a brave “female” to take back home. Because on their planet, bravery is measured by the thickness of your scars, and my back has plenty. But he hasn’t yet seen my face.      AmazonKU

BLAKE (BROTHERS DARK BOOK ONE) by C Y Croc

Blake Dark is my name. It suits me well—dark by name, dark by nature. Right now, it’s taking all my willpower to reign in the darkness that courses through my veins. I’m standing in a hotel room on the other side of the world. A plane ticket sent along with a mysterious letter got me here. I’m staring at four half-brothers I never even knew existed, and a father I thought was dead. My father wants to become bosom buddies with us—the reason—he wants us to help him hunt down and kill vampires. I’m guessing he’s been preparing us for this our whole lives. That’s the reason all of us were left in different orphanages across the world and trained by monks from a young age in different martial arts and weaponry. Any sane person would laugh out loud at the absurd notion of vampires existing. A few months ago I would have been one of them. Had it not been for the strange changes occurring in my body and mind. Now, I’m thirsty for two things—knowledge—and blood. Am I a vampire too? If the answer is yes, does this mean my brothers and father are also vampires? Because the strange things I’m witnessing in this hotel room, make me think they have a different darkness inside them. Am I going to agree to my father’s request? If I can get answers—hell yes.   Amazon

Not to mention rumors of darker, dangerous, some-say supernatural occurrences around Kazimir. Felix even has photos to prove it. But the last time he tried to expose Kazimir Skokan, his story was inexplicably shut down, taking Felix’s career as a journalist with it. Kazimir owes him the truth. And Felix is going to make sure the whole world knows it. Kazi has new orders. Kill Felix Quaid. The Blackrose brotherhood leader, Mikalis, is never wrong. But in this, Kazi disagrees. Sure, Quaid is a pest, perhaps even a stalker, but no more than any other overzealous fan. Still, what Mikalis wants, Mikalis gets. And what’s another dead meat-bag to Kazi anyway? He stopped caring who lived and who died long ago. Making Quaid disappear should have been easy. But in Quaid’s final, crucial moments, a pack of cult members kidnap them both, mistaking Quaid for a member of the brotherhood. Now, trapped together, their time running out, Kazi must work with Quaid if they’re to survive the insane Nyx-worshipping acolytes. But as soon as they escape, Mikalis’s orders will still stand: Quaid must die. Kazi thought he’d long ago given up on caring who lived and who died. Apparently, he was wrong.   AmazonKU

SANTA’S CHRISTMAS WISH by Maggie Tideswell

Who says Santa can’t have a Christmas wish of his own? Santa’s love life is a mess – and he has one last chance to get it right. A girl asks Santa for a man for her Christmas stocking. When prompted, he admit’s that he has a Christmas wish of his own – a baby. Coincidence? Not a chance! Audra doesn’t know she has a history with this particular Santa of the Sleigh. His name is Ross Shepard and Santa is his job title. Their association comes from way back, from a time when mists and snow covered most of the world. Winter, when the snow was deeper and food scarce, was a miserable time of the year for everyone. In a snowy valley, Ross and his brother devised a magickal contraption they called a sleigh. Santa’s job was to deliver a little Yuletide cheer to everyone on the night before the Yule log cracks. But before Ross could take the job as Santa, he had to find the right woman to support his new venture and share eternity with him. That year, before the maiden voyage in the sleigh and before the Yule log cracked, Ross’ wife had to be in the family way. Audra agreed to marry him and to become part of the Santa project, but she absolutely refused to become immortal. She was put in charge of the exact form the cheer would take. In the midst of the excitement to get the Project Santa off the snow, Audra and Ross knew they were having a baby. Tragedy struck when Audra died in childbirth, her baby with her. Ross searched for her through the ages, always with the same result – they fell in love, married, and then Audra died giving birth. Now, in the present, Ross has one last chance to convince Audra to be with him forever, immune to death.      AmazonKU

“New” is generally plus or minus a week or two. I try to catch up on ones I missed in recent months.  And I may mention ‘special items’.

I do NOT cover every single new release in SFR/FantasyR/PNR. I never have. That would be an impossible task for any human! I assemble my list by hand every week based on various informal inputs, and I do curate the list to some extent…

Some authors aren’t in KU but still don’t list books with Apple or other platforms. This report is very time consuming to prepare so I’ve always had to limit myself and cannot go and look up every book on all the platforms. If an author gives me their other buy links, I include them here but generally I develop the post on my own, not from author-supplied information. I curate and prepare this post individually every week to help connect readers/books/authors and I have to be very careful not to give it so much time as an activity that I don’t write my own novels! Thanks for the feedback and happy reading!

I check and verify all the buy links at the time I create the post  but after that I’m not responsible.
