HER ALIEN NEIGHBOR: STRANDED ON EARTH BOOK 1 by Ivy Knox

Hiding his true form while living among humans on Earth is not easy, but for thirteen years, Axil Monroe and his four brothers have done it. That is until an enticing, infuriating female moves in next door. All Vanessa Bradford wants is to become a successful actress, or successful enough to pay the rent on her tiny L.A. apartment. When she receives another rejection, she wonders why she’s still trying, and a call from her sister only makes things worse. Her dear Aunt Franny has passed away, and she has to travel to her humble hometown in New Hampshire––a place she hoped to never see again. Trauma from her past catches up immediately, forcing her to face pain and injustice she has yet to process. When she discovers she has inherited Aunt Franny’s house, and the obnoxiously loud man who lives next door with his brothers, she feels utterly defeated. Now she’s stuck in a place she hates with a house she doesn’t want that is in need of repairs she can’t afford. Then she finds a series of letters Aunt Franny left her, scattered around the property, sending her on a treasure hunt for a pile of cash. The only problem? She needs Axil’s help to solve the riddles that take her to the next clue, and he’s the last person she wants to be around. As Axil and Vanessa spend time together, Vanessa begins to question the direction her life is heading, and what true happiness for her would look like. Will she find everything she’s been missing in the boy next door?

REAPER’S PRIZE (LOVE UNBOUND BY TIME BOOK 1) by Athena Storm

VS Note: Author does say there’s an HEA ending.

Our love is bound by fate. Stronger than death. The Reapers are nightmares whispered about in the dark. But I never thought I’d come face to face with one. Much less fall in love with him. As soon as I see Kalchuk, I know that I am meant for him. He is my other half. By his side, we can conquer anything. At least, that’s what I thought. I was wrong. Kalchuk died protecting me by taking a shot to the heart. Without him, my own heart cannot beat. So, I’ve made my choice. I’ve climbed into his coffin with him, before his crew shoots it out into space. To me, it isn’t a death sentence. I trust Kalchuk. I trust fate itself, enough to face whatever comes next. We will conquer death as long as I am with him. And if I’m wrong? Then I will sleep next to my beloved, forever. Until the stars refuse to shine.     AmazonKU

We’re not complete strangers. Our paths crossed once a long time ago, and he hasn’t forgotten me. Last time, I saved him. This time, he takes me. In Shah’s world, no good deed, or good girl, goes unpunished.
He’s going to make me his sorry little hostage. He’s going to show me what a mistake it was to walk into his world. And no matter how much they pay to get me back…He’s never going to let me go.   AmazonKU

DESPERATION IN DEATH: AN EVE DALLAS NOVEL by J D Robb

New York, 2061: The place called the Pleasure Academy is a living nightmare where abducted girls are trapped, trained for a life of abject service while their souls are slowly but surely destroyed. Dorian, a thirteen-year-old runaway who’d been imprisoned there, might never have made it out if not for her fellow inmate Mina, who’d hatched the escape plan. Mina was the more daring of the two—but they’d been equally desperate. Unfortunately, they didn’t get away fast enough. Now Dorian is injured, terrified, and wandering the streets of New York, and Mina lies dead near the waterfront while Lt. Eve Dallas looks over the scene. Mina’s expensive, elegant clothes and beauty products convince Dallas that she was being groomed, literally and figuratively, for sex trafficking—and that whoever is investing in this high-overhead operation expects windfall profits. Her billionaire husband, Roarke, may be able to help, considering his ties to the city’s ultra-rich. But Roarke is also worried about the effect this case is having on Dallas, as it brings a rage to the surface she can barely control. No matter what, she must keep her head clear–because above all, she is desperate for justice and to take down those who prey on and torment the innocent.

SERAPH (MONSTROUS BOOK SIX) by Lily Mayne

I’ve already mentally prepared myself to kill the screaming, murderous monster in the cage outside our camp. I’m used to it. It’s what I do here. Kill monsters and other people. And this monster, Seraph, is particularly unstable—has been since the moment he arrived from Collector Mary’s monster menagerie to the west, where the military stashed him away. He’s in pain. I can see it. But he’s not a mindless beast. Not like some of the others think. When I start guarding him in his cage every night, I begin to see the person beneath the agony that tortures his every waking moment. I begin to see who Seraph could have been if he hadn’t been twisted into this monstrous creature. I realise that I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to kill him, even for his own sake, but it doesn’t matter anyway. He’s already dying, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. Not even when new visitors at our raider camp bring with them secrets about Seraph. Secrets the military has tried to hide. Secrets that reveal the true extent of the horror he’s been put through. And now… Now, I will kill anyone who tries to hurt him again. Seraph is Book Six of the Monstrous series, a post-apocalyptic m/m fantasy series that features monsters and human men falling in love.

VS: Next on my backlist is TRATUS, “handsome but not human”. He and the Tzibir pack were first introduced in CAMRON and I felt it was long past time he got his story told.

TRATUS:  BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE (SECTORS NEW ALLIES SERIES BOOK 14)

Katrin Rodgerr, ex-Space Navy, was perfectly happy as Third Officer on a tramp freighter in the Outer Sectors, until the day she and everyone on board the ship were kidnapped by alien scientists to become subjects of gruesome experiments. Far away from home or help, Katrin does her best to bolster the other prisoners’ morale and look for a way to escape. Until one day she’s chosen for an experiment of another sort – given to a pack of alien supersoldiers as a prospective breeder.

Tratus, senior enforcer of the Tzibir pack, never expected to find his mate, much less to meet her among the human prison population of the labs. But there she is and there’s no denying the instincts. Despite his Alpha’s objections, Tratus manages to convince the alien scientists to give Katrin to him and he vows to protect her. Deeply unhappy with the way his leader runs the pack as he disobeys all their goddess’s commandments and refuses to ally with other Badari packs to fight the scientists who created them, Tratus plots a revolt.

Despite herself Katrin is drawn to the giant humanoid warrior with alien predator DNA who treats her so respectfully. His scales and other differences from human males only make him more attractive in his own way. But the Alpha distrusts her and Tratus, and time is running out for them both…
Can Tratus defeat the Alpha leading his pack to inevitable doom? Can he and Katrin survive the consequences and find their way to claiming each other as true mates or must he let her go?

DARK ALPHA’S COMMAND by Donna Grant

There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I’m coming for you…I’ve been a part of so many different worlds I’m not sure who I am or where I fit in anymore. Honestly, with everything I’ve been through, being called across realms and encountering the beautiful Druid who instantly captures my attention—and my heart—shouldn’t have surprised me. But it did. Not as much as discovering how it feels to brush against her magic, however. Now, we must navigate these new waters and fight against our latest threat, hoping that our combined power and that of our allies is enough to defeat our foe. Because the Fae Others want to end the Reapers and take over the realm, and their leader is one of the most formidable enemies we’ve ever faced. The battle won’t be easy, but with this strong, resilient mortal by my side and some help from our friends, it’s a fight I’m more than willing to enter—as long as it means she’s by my side. Forever.

BLOODED LABYRINTH: A DANGEROUS MONSTERS ROMANCE by S J Sanders

For centuries the labyrinth was disconnected from the world of men, containing within its walls the monster, Asterion. Though its corridors occasionally connected with the mortal world to feed, mostly it slept in between worlds as the ages of men passed. And with its slumber, though his hunger gnawed at him continuously, Asterion found some semblance of peace from his monstrous existence.
That was until the day the worlds shifted, and the labyrinth awoke once again, anchoring its entrance within the mortal world, drawing prey within to bloody its halls. Within its depths, its captive stirred and the minotaur, helpless against his hunger, hunted once again. Since the Ravening, Vicky has led a life of a wanderer, moving from settlement-to-settlement trading salvage for hot food and shelter. In a land overrun by monsters and ever-changing forests, she has no one to depend on but herself for survival. That survival is tested in the depths of the labyrinth, where being human is nothing more than a death sentence. There she is the prey. Captured by a dangerous monster born from ancient myth, Vicky is forced to depend on someone other than herself as she is placed at the mercy of the minotaur’s hunger…and her own.      Amazon KU

LOST AND FOUND (UNEXPECTED MAGIC BOOK 3) by Christine Pope

Magic isn’t one size fits all. Every family has its own unique brand, so it helps to know your family history. Mine? It’s pretty much a blank, so predicting what my lodestone gift will do next is a not-so-fun game. Case in point: On the heels of learning that both my ex-husband and a previously unknown half-brother died the exact same way, a gorgeous silver and turquoise necklace lands in my life. A necklace that fairly vibrates with power when I touch it. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The message? Clear as mud. Isaac Zamora, male witch and ultimate slow-burn romantic, thinks I should sleep on it. I mean, literally. I’d rather he was the one sharing my bed, but until I figure things out, following his lead is probably the better idea. From urban pawn shops to lonely red rock canyons, my visions lead us on a merry chase. But this enchanted journey is fraught with demons. And the one I find waiting for me around the next twist and turn is going to take more than holy water to vanquish.     Amazon     Kobo

GLASS KING (MIDNIGHT EMPIRE: THE RESTORATION BOOK THREE) by Annabel Chase

I didn’t ask to be part of a prophecy and I certainly didn’t ask to be held captive by zealots. They may call me a savior, but they treat me like a sacrifice they’re waiting to make to the gods. Not much of a sacrifice given what they think of me. My only saving grace is that I don’t have to face the dangers alone. This time I have an ally in the form of a knight from Britannia City—London Hayes. Unfortunately, nobody knows where we are or what the group intends to do with us, which means we’re on our own. Meanwhile, there are larger forces at work that threaten to tilt our vampire-ruled world on its axis and it’s up to us to stop them—if we can escape our captors in time.   AmazonKU

GAME OF CRONES (A SPELL’S ANGELS COZY MYSTERY BOOK 8) by Amanda M Lee

Scout Randall thought killing the master vampire threatening those she loved would make everybody safe. She was wrong. One dying utterance changed everything. Yolanda Stratton haunts Hawthorne Hollow like an oily shadow of death. Gunner, the son she tried to kill, tries to pretend that he doesn’t care that she might have answers. He’s not fooling anybody. Graham, the husband who wishes he would’ve killed her twenty years before, is resigned to the games she will play. And Scout? She’s ready to face off with the face of abject evil, even if it comes at a cost. Just who will be paying that price, however? Yolanda won’t explain why the lone zombie that appeared behind the Rusty Cauldron boasted the same symbol she had branded into her shoulder years before. She won’t explain why the past is playing so heavily into the present. She definitely won’t explain why the new witch in town is after Scout…and isn’t afraid to play dirty to end her life. Scout is a witch with a plan but outthinking an enemy she doesn’t understand could be the end of her. There’s a whisper on the wind…and it speaks of death. Who will fall?

THE SUNBEARER TRIALS (THE SUNBERER DUOLOGY BOOK ONE) by Aiden Thomas

As each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the chaotic Obsidian gods at bay. Sol selects ten of the most worthy semidioses to compete in the Sunbearer Trials. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all—they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body melted down to refuel the Sun Stones, protecting the world for another ten years. Teo, a seventeen-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of the goddess of birds, isn’t worried about the Trials . . . at least, not for himself. His best friend, Niya is a Gold semidiós and a shoo-in for the Trials, and while he trusts her abilities, the odds of becoming the sacrifice is one-in-ten. But then, for the first time in over a century, the impossible happens. Sol chooses not one, but two Jade competitors. Teo, and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god of bad luck. Now they must compete in five trials against Gold opponents who are more powerful and better trained. Worst of all, Teo’s annoyingly handsome ex-best friend and famous semidiós Hero, Aurelio is favored to win. Teo is determined to get himself and his friends through the trials unscathed—for fame, glory, and their own survival.     Amazon      AB     Apple Books     Kobo

When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it. Charlie starts doing jobs for Mr. Bowditch and loses his heart to Radar.

THE LIBRARIAN OF CROOKED LANE (THE GLASS LIBRARY BOOK 1) by C J Archer

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him.

She seeks the truth from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won’t be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

Burying himself in his work as a consultant for Scotland Yard, Gabe is going through the motions as he investigates the theft of a magician-made painting. But his life changes when he unwittingly gets Sylvia dismissed from her job and places her in danger. After securing her new employment in a library housing the world’s greatest collection of books about magic, Gabe and Sylvia’s lives become intwined as they work together to find both the painting and the truth about Sylvia’s past before powerful people can stop them.

SALVAGED (WAYWARD MAGE BOOK 3) by Ann Gimpel

Life used to be simple. I solved cases for mortals, earning myself a solid reputation as a crack detective. And I basked in the adoration of every animal, bird, and sea creature known to man—or sorcerer. My animal mage part is the same, but everything else has changed. The last time I remember being happy was the day I married Blake. Since then, nothing has gone right. When he met me, I traveled beneath crossed stars. Jinxed is a kind term for the trouble that followed me. He says we’re stronger together, but I’m starting to doubt that. Some challenges are meant to be faced alone. Maybe I can fix the problems plaguing us. Maybe I can’t, but I have to try. And I must do it with my animal allies. Blake won’t like any of this, which means I’ll have to slip away when he’s not paying attention. And I’ll need to cover my tracks well to make sure he doesn’t follow me. He’s my heart, my life, but if I don’t leave him, he’ll be doomed right along with me, and I refuse to let that happen.
