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.

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.

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

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

One that doesn’t include falling in love. Holly was the best gen-modded predator keeper on the planet. Until one of her charges used her as a chew toy. Literally.

Much to her regret), Alexi finds herself traveling the galaxy and learning alien physiology and culture, all while becoming a reality TV star. Being pursued by camera drones and starring in her very own Welcome-to-the-Universe documentary was never on Alexi’s to do list. She’s positive the show will flop. After all, Alexi is boring. That’s why her boyfriend left her for her stepsister. But as trillions of aliens tune in to watch Alexi discover the universe in Doctor Galaxy, what she discovers is the existential threat facing humanity. Major Soren Agha already knows about the danger. He’s currently playing peacekeeper for the Eripi of the Pariah Sector whose tragic fate could be humanity’s: conquered, exploited, lost. Can one dedicated doctor save humanity? Can she, as Soren believes, also save the Eripi? And would anyone really notice if she sabotaged a couple of pesky camera drones?      AmazonKU

And yet, her boldness, straightforwardness, and eternal enthusiasm stir a possessiveness in him that cannot be denied. But as events of his past clash with their future, will they be able to overcome their cultural differences, or will adversity tear them apart?      AmazonKU

A VERY TENTACULAR CHRISTMAS (TENTACULAR TALES) by Chloe Archer

RIVER – Ho, ho, ho…and tentacles? I’ve written a super secret Christmas novella in my over-the-top space saga/tentacle romance series. Who could have imagined I’d have so many actual alien fans across the universe? I can’t wait to share this new story with them, but first I need some feedback I can trust. Who better to ask than my alien boo, and mega fan, Kai? So naturally, I plan an ultra festive Christmas-themed date night to get Kai in a festive mood to listen to my story. There will be cookies, cocoa, and hopefully plenty of sexy times. But as they often say about the best-laid plans of aliens and men…KAI – I’m learning that when it’s River’s turn to plan our date nights, I have to be prepared for almost anything. Coming home to find my house looking like the set of a Hallmark Christmas movie exploded in my living room was not what I was expecting—especially in October! But once River brings out the sugar cookies and cocoa, I’m on board. He knows the way to my two hearts. However, when I’m getting in more than just the Christmas mood, trouble arrives in the form of River’s Uncle Benji, my brother, my mother, and my father. My inner grump may go full grinch if they don’t leave us—and my precious sugar cookies—alone!      AmazonKU

A dark harbinger of doom. Devastatingly real. But there are even more surprises in store. I never expected him to be so. Darn. Hot. I never expected to become his prey. Now the hunter has become the hunted. And escaping this winged nightmare without surrendering to his dark charms might be the last thing I never do.      AmazonKU

This is it! Go time. No longer can I stick my head in the sand or pretend that my kraken honey hasn’t knocked me up. “What do you mean, Lila?” I hear you ask. Well, it means I’m screwed. And not in the good way. After the lightning attack on Iceen triggered my latent Skarrian abilities, they’ve kicked into gear big time. Not only am I a lightning cat whisperer, but I’m also a mimic. I just became the perfect compatible option for any species in the galaxy. Which is not exactly an appealing thought. If I don’t get control of my abilities, it could be dangerous not only for me but for my little ones too. So we’re headed home to Skarr where I can give birth and get a handle on my mimic abilities before I splice myself into a dozen different species and get stuck that way. Never a dull moment in the Galaxy Circus that’s for sure.      AmazonKU

CHANGED BY TRUST (RAZOR’S EDGE CHRONICLES BOOK 7) by Celine Jeanjean

How did I wind up chained with silver and pumped full of drugs to keep me unconscious? I was under the impression that there was no crisis on the horizon, and that Sarroch and I were therefore free to go on our first proper date. Except that I’m clearly a glutton for punishment, because I decide that I should talk to Yue, to clear the air. So even though it goes against every survival instinct, I set up a meeting with her. Surprisingly, Yue doesn’t end up being the biggest problem I face, despite her very clear desire to rid the world of me. The masked kidnappers who inject us both with drugs and silver are clearly far more dangerous. Which is how I find myself groggy, chained up, with no idea of where I am, or who kidnapped us and why. Now, not only do I need to find a way to get out of this mess, but I need to do it while collaborating with Yue.

GIVE ME A REASON: HELIOS (THE GODS MADE ME DO IT BOOK THIRTEEN) by Lisa Oliver

Ancient Greek God of the Sun, Helios might also be the God of Sight, but even he couldn’t predict what would happen when he finally caught a glimpse of the light he’d been looking for – the one that let him know his search for his mate was over. The problem was when he chased up the source of that light, his intended one was on a date with someone else. Even when the date ended badly, Helios’s efforts to help weren’t appreciated. Bear shifter, Bruno Carpenter, was an ex-soldier, a current police officer, and on a date from hell. When he gets mugged he is shocked to feel his body responding to a male who suddenly appeared in the alley beside him. What was worse was that the same man started talking about them being mates. Bruno decided he must have been hit on the head harder than he thought. Unfortunately, the attack on Bruno was just part of a bigger picture – one that Helios could see thanks to his newly made Bruno App (thank you Zeus). But as Helios and Bruno spend time together, the chances of Helios having a future with the man the Fates deemed perfect for him get smaller and smaller. Is the mating of Helios and Bruno doomed to fail? Will they be the exception that proved the rule? And what does that saying even mean?       Amazon

Between being sexy Santa at work, supplying a team of hellhounds with Christmas cookies, and learning what stamina in the bedroom really is, I’m discovering that my old life was kind of empty.

DEVIL’S SACRIFICE (HELL’S SOULLESS MONSTERS BOOK ONE) by Autumn Thorne

Sage’s whole life has been meant for one thing, to be the virgin sacrifice given to the Devil to keep her coven in power. It’s a position of honour that only the lucky get chosen for-“Wait, hold up, this is not a position of honour. Only the unlucky get chosen to do this. And, ding ding ding, now it’s my bloody turn, I’m going to tell my story my way.” I wish the reason I was on my knees Christmas Day was for a fun activity, but my coven are determined to send my beautiful behind straight into the Devil’s arms. They want their power and will do anything to get it, they always have. But I have a trick up my sleeve, a plan in my pocket, an escape route so sinful I will go down in history. My coven and the Devil aren’t going to know what hit them. “Or more likely, my little pet, will end up right where I want her. Beautifully sinful and wickedly unholy. Looking forward to meeting you, pet. I hope you can run fast because this devil likes the chase.” “…Wait…What?”      AmazonKU

ARMED AND CHARMED (PRINCESS PROCEDURAL) (HAVEN HOLLOW BOOK 24) byt H P Mallory and J R Rain

The seal on the spell that’s been keeping my Fae side in check is due to break tonight at midnight…And I’m set to marry a man I don’t really know, and what I do know of him, I don’t particularly like. All because some stupid prophecy (from before I was even born) proclaimed as much. Talk about a crappy deal… With my Fae powers set to take over and the threat of becoming the Queen of the Winter Court becoming all too real, I find myself stuck at the bar of the Half-Moon Grill in a full-blown pity party. In walks Maverick, a bounty hunter who occasionally works for me and who’s become the closest thing I have to a friend in Haven Hollow. Learning of my predicament, Maverick offers me a way out—marry him instead. At least in title only. Marrying Maverick would definitely free me from having to marry Prince Reynard of the Autumn Court (otherwise known as Fox Aspen). It will also resolve that blasted prophecy, but after my first marriage went down in flames, do I really want to go for round two? Short answer: no. But it doesn’t look like I have much of a choice. It’s either marry Maverick, and my life will basically stay the same, or I don’t and suffer the consequences. Little do I know, the consequences are coming for me no matter what I choose.   AmazonKU

MISTLETOE MATES: A CANDI CANE HOLIDAY by Sedona Ashe

My name’s Candi Cane and every eligible male in my pack is looking to get a lick this year. I’d rather die. Let’s have a Christmas hunt, they said. It will be fun, they said. What ‘they’ didn’t say was who they planned to hunt… or what the prize would be. Oh yeah, that would be me on both accounts. 
By ‘they’ I mean my father, Alpha of the Evergreen pack. He’s taken things too far this Christmas Eve. My pack is obsessed with Christmas. Humans come from all over to see our Christmas village with no idea they’re celebrating with werewolves. None of the Evergreen wolves are my fated mates, so naturally, I turn tail and run… right into the arms of the, erm, Anti-Christmas leader of the Brimstone pack, Alpha Coal. He’s not known for his love of people. Who can blame him, though? The moon goddess must have a twisted sense of humor… because it turns out he’s my fated mate. …And so is his beta. …And his third in command. Just when I think things couldn’t get worse, my attempt to shimmy down a chimney winds up with me stuck. How the heck does Santa do this? With wolves hunting me, three fated mates who hate Christmas, and my life falling apart, I’m not sure I can handle the secret that is about to be dropped on me… it just might be a Christmas Miracle.   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.
