All I’ve wanted since my abduction from Earth’s first long-range space flight is freedom from my alien captives. But when I’m sold off to a Rhonar warrior, I learn I’m not the only one enslaved on this hellish planet, and survival comes at a cost. The commanding alien they call Xelan may be in charge, but his fair dealings—and devilishly sexy charms—give me hope for the future.

However, as enemies line up to destroy the alien warriors and subjugate the galaxy, I discover that the universe has a sense of humor. Fated mates are real. And Xelan declares me his. How can I attain my freedom if I’m tied to another being? Even if his possessive growls and single-minded attention ignite my desires in ways I’ve only dreamed, I cannot be his.

A few generations from now, the coastlines of the continent have been redrawn by floods and tides.

In the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become, Coral is a “plucker,” pulling plastic from the rivers and woods.

In her stolen free hours, she does something that seems impossible in this place: Coral makes art. When a reporter from a struggling city on the coast arrives in Trashlands, Coral is presented with an opportunity to change her life. But is it possible to choose a future for herself? Told in shifting perspectives, Trashlands is a beautifully drawn and wildly imaginative tale of a parent’s journey, a story of community and humanity in a changed world.

My alien Keeper has killer abs, but it turns out he’s also a killer, period.

Zoe – I’m terrified just like the others – but I’m not backing down. The Air Force didn’t teach me what to do in case I got snatched by a seven-foot-tall brawny space pirate, but it did teach me how to be a leader. And that’s just what I’m going to be. No way am I allowing this guy Rakes to trade me and the women under my protection for nano weapons. I just wish he’d quit flicking his long, thick tail at me in rage.

But as I stare into her fierce green eyes, I can’t help but wonder –Perhaps Zoëis wild in just the way that I want…
Perhaps, I should keep her. For myself. Amazon KU

ROAR (WARRIORS OF GR’MLAKEN BOOK 3) by Zeta Star
Without Roar – you try pronouncing it, okay? — I’d be dead in that pod. And when he purrs and does that thing with his… I think I’ll keep him. Abducted by space lizards? Check. Experimented on? Check. Rescued by seven feet of hot, alien male? Check! Roar’s a bit shy, furry with claws and a metal arm, and his best friend is a spaceship named Killer. That’s a little scary. Almost as scary as the zombie. And the giant, angry insects. And the hungry shadow monsters. Roar doesn’t want to dishonor me or something like that so we’re keeping things casual. (Sort of. Maybe. Definitely not.) And if I live through this without getting my brain eaten, we might have a chance at something more. Stranger things have happened. Amazon KU
MATED TO THE ALIEN CAPTAIN (METAGALACTIC MATES BOOK 4) by Sophia Sebell
My job had consumed my life. The scientists that came in would get drunk and talk of other worlds and aliens, a nice distraction from my problems. I didn’t believe a word of it, of course. Well, it turns out it was very real. On my way home from work, I was hit by a blinding white light and knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was surrounded by aliens. Little green men? Not so much. More like bulging gigantic red men, and they did not have my best interests in mind. Before they could take me for themselves, an even larger blue man burst into the room and dispatched the red aliens in the blink of an eye. He towered over me and glared down at me with the intensity of a burning star before releasing my bindings and stealing me away to a hidden area of the ship. Idalas was equally stoic and passionate. It was like a switch inside him would flip from one minute to another. His passion was fiery and unrelenting when he got worked up about something. His muscles would tense up and bulge, his sharp jawline would set tightly, and the look in his eyes was as terrifying as it was irresistible. The longer I’m with him, the more I want him to turn that fire on me. I’ve seen it in his eyes when he looks at me, smoldering embers held at bay by sheer willpower. It was unnerving at first, but the thought of being consumed is starting to feel more and more right. Amazon KU

THE ALPHA (THE LYCANS 4) by Jenika Snow
I’d never felt like I was missing anything in my life, not until my only friend left to start a journey to find out her own history. It had been clear in the ugliest way that I relied on her company too much over the years. I needed to make my own path, create my own story. But then one video call changed my entire life, and I was thrown into a new world where creatures that had only ever been in fiction and movies were now very much real. And one of them was coming after me. A werewolf—Lycan—from myth and lore. He said I was his. He said he was coming for me. So there was only one thing for me to do. Run. Cian said he wouldn’t stop until he found me, until he put his mark on my neck. He said he’d go to the ends of the world to make me his mate in all ways. He’d have one hell of a chase on his hands, because I wasn’t going to make this easy on him. That was my plan until everything changed–and someone else was hunting us. Amazon KU

DEATH DO US PART by Miranda Grant
I’ve never been a fan of murder. The mess, the smell, the whole hiding the body thing after – it always seemed like way too much work. But trust me, when you’re married to Richard Morningstar, that “work” starts to feel an awful lot like “play”. The man is a snake and king of the fairies. A barbarian. A war monger. A sex god. Uh, I mean a…an ex pod? Doesn’t matter. The point is, it’s either him or me. Because one of us is going to die, and at the moment, it’s my execution scheduled in three weeks. So I just have to figure out a way to kiss him – kill him – before then, take his throne, and turn his whole nightmarish kingdom upside down. Easy right? Maybe – if he wasn’t my lifemate. And if my panties didn’t drop every time he snapped his stupid fingers.

WITCHING WHISPERS (WITCHES OF HOLLOW COVE BOOK 7) by Kim Richardson
I was hoping for a few days off from dealing with murder charges, bad guys, and the everyday paranormal bizarre. All I wanted was a nice break from all the crazy. And did I get it? No. Of course not.

Forget my time off. What I got was a whole new set of problems as my life spirals down the crapper once again. If that isn’t bad enough, a curse settles on Hollow Cove. Something dark, ominous, that threatens the lives of the townspeople. If I don’t find the counter-curse on time, I could lose everything. And the clock is ticking. Amazon KU
DRAGONS ARE A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND (FANGS AND FEATHERS BOOK 1) by Isla Frost
My name’s Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. Of course, that’s not how I sold the job to my adoptive vampire dad. Or what I put on my dating profile for that matter. And I do have a wet-your-pants-level terrifying dragon partner rushing headlong into danger with me. But she, like my unusual magic, is frequently more hazard than help. Despite all that, I love my job protecting the streets of post-magic-revolution Las Vegas—where humans and supernaturals live side-by-side, or are at least having a stab at it. So when I get suspended and some jackass takes my city hostage? Yeah, there’s going to be hell to pay. Even if it means I have to team up with a mysterious supernatural I know nothing about—except that he has pointy ears, a rod up his backside, questionable priorities, and could kill me with his eyes closed. My dragon partner likes him even less than I do. Then again, she doesn’t like anyone, including me most of the time. But I’m pretty sure she won’t barbecue either one of us. Still, you’d better wish me luck. Amazon KU

LINKS TO RECENT NEW RELEASES POSTS from Veronica:
“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.
