WICKED WHEN WET by Erin Raegan

I couldn’t swim. I’d never learned. So you can guess how screwed I was when our little tourist ship crashed on a planet that was entirely water…I was convinced my time had come, until a big blue alien captain stumbled upon us. Except he was not interested in saving us, he just wanted to salvage the materials from our busted ship. Still, he was the only shot we had at getting off this planet. Oh, and apparently I was his mate.   AmazonKU

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

It was a glittering event full of A-listers, hosted by Eliza Lane and Brant Fitzhugh, a celebrity couple who’d conquered both Hollywood and Broadway. And now Eve Dallas has made her entrance—but not as a guest. After raising a toast, Fitzhugh fell to the floor and died, with physical symptoms pointing to cyanide, and the police have crashed the party. From all accounts, he wasn’t the kind of star who made enemies. Everyone loved him—even his ex-wife. And since the champagne cocktail that killed him was originally intended for Eliza, it’s possible she was the real target, with a recently fired assistant, a bitter rival, and an obsessed fan in the picture. With so many attendees, staff, and servers, Eve has her work cut out determining who committed murder in the middle of the crowd—and what was their motivation. As one who’s not fond of the spotlight herself, she dreads the media circus surrounding a case like this. All she wants is to figure out who’s truly innocent, and who’s only acting that way.

WILD MASSIVE by Scotto Moore

VS Note: Not a romance but a scifi release of note. This plot is wild! I put it on my TBR List.

Welcome to the Building, an infinitely tall skyscraper in the center of the multiverse, where any floor could contain a sprawling desert oasis, a cyanide rain forest, or an entire world. Carissa loves her elevator. Up and Down she goes, content with the sometimes chewy food her reality fabricator spits out, as long as it means she doesn’t have to speak to another living person. But when a mysterious shapeshifter from an ambiguous world lands on top of her elevator, intent on stopping a plot to annihilate hundreds of floors, Carissa finds herself stepping out of her comfort zone. She is forced to flee into the Wild Massive network of theme parks in the Building, where technology, sorcery, and elaborate media tie-ins combine to form impossible ride experiences, where every guest is a VIP, the roller coasters are frequently safe, and if you don’t have a valid day pass, the automated defense lasers will escort you from being alive.

For Vaha, Jayanthi’s alloy pilot, it’s a daunting yet irresistible adventure to find success as an individual. As the journey challenges their resolve in unexpected ways, the two form a bond that only deepens with their time alone on Meru.

DIVINE REVIVIFICATION: A WHOLESOME LITRPG ADVENTURE (GOLDEN GIRL GAMER BOOK 2) by Rachel Ford

VS Note: OK, I don’t normally cover LitRPG (Literary Role Playing Games, which I wrote a post about previously) but I did read book one and liked it and I enjoy Rachel Ford. There was no romance in book one but maybe something’s perking in book two? I’ll be reading it.

Retiree and barbarian fighter Barbara Callaghan is building an alliance capable of defeating Odin, king of the Norse gods. At least, she’s trying to. But as the local populations shy from the cause, and even Loki seems to forget about her, she realizes she’s missing something. Or, someone. Army veteran Caleb Dunn, meanwhile, didn’t expect his summer job to turn into a new life, and a quest to save humanity from vengeful gods. And yet, with the shadow of Odin’s wrath looming large in the North, that’s the mission. Fair enough – except that Caleb was tricked into starting The Old Gods as a junior scribe, a glorified writer and tax collector with no martial skills. Now he’s stuck playing a build that taps into none of his strengths, and all of his weaknesses. Caleb is the key she’s been missing. Unfortunately, he is a noob. Some rapid leveling is required, and the services of a barbarian brawler, to ensure he survives the process. With Barbara’s brawn and Caleb’s brains, these two fish out of water just might build an alliance powerful enough to put an end to the chaos.     AmazonKU

MALLIKO (DESCENDANTS OF DOOM BOOK ONE) by Elin Peer

Humans are taught that they’re alone in the Universe. That’s a lie! When our ancestors realized their planet was dying, they evacuated to find new homes throughout the Universe. Eidrona and Earth were among those new home planets. Each group of settlers developed differently according to their new environment but most of us Descendants of Doom still have similar features. With humans being less technologically advanced than the rest of us and unable to defend themselves, Earth is classified as a protected planet. That makes it a desired place to visit. Malliko, a speciologist from Eidrona gets the rare chance to study the fascinating humans. His assignment is to research how dating and breeding habits have changed since the last report was made by the Federation. He’s eager to find out if the many rumors about humans are true. Do humans hold the greatest range of emotions among the descendants of doom? Is it true that they lost the ability to communicate through telepathy? And are they really naive enough to think they’re alone in the Universe? When interviewing Clara, a human woman who works as a moderator on a dating app, Malliko sees an opportunity to do some field research and makes her an offer. Screwed over by her ex, Clara lost her trust in men and hasn’t dated for years. Longing to be brave and try new things, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that is long overdue. Never could she imagine that the tall and handsome man whom she’s beginning to trust hides the biggest lie of all. He’s not even human.   AmazonKU

THE DEVIL WILL CARE by Holly Day

What would you do if the devil claimed you were his destined mate? Khaal Lupehell isn’t really the devil, but he’s a red-skinned, horn-wearing, tail-waving, eight feet tall alien who claims Azrail Crow is his mate. For eight months, Azrail has been in an intergalactic prison, and for the most part, he’s managed to keep his head down and melt into the interior. That all changes when he runs into Khaal. Khaal has to get out of prison. He’d planned to escape even before he met Azrail, but now he has to find a way out. He can’t live with his mate in a prison cell. It’s out of the question. So he’ll steal a ship, take Azrail, and they’ll run for their lives. It’ll work out fine. Hopefully. Azrail has read stories about destined mates, but surely it can’t apply to him. He’s human, and humans don’t have mates. But when Khaal talks about escaping, Azrail wants to come with him. Being mated to the devil can’t be worse than being locked up in prison, can it?

MY GRUMPY ALIEN WARRIOR (WICKED GALAXY WARRIORS BOOK ONE) by Gemma Cates

Nora – I just wanted a good man. A nice, polite, boy-next-door type. He didn’t have to be a male model or a sports star or a wealthy magnate—even if that was the kind of man I read about late at night, alone, in bed. So what if I dreamed of a man with big muscles and a commanding voice? That didn’t mean I wanted to date that guy. A nice accountant would work. Or an insurance salesman. But then I had another epically bad date, came home alone, drank half a pitcher of margaritas, and took a silly online quiz. Next thing I knew, I was agreeing to go on a date with the perfect man. I’d never used a dating service before but…why not? The old fashioned way hadn’t worked. Maybe Serendipity, Inc. would match me with a nice teacher or a dentist. Maybe I’d meet that boy next door I’d dreamt about. Daken – For over a decade I fought for my planet. I dreamt of returning to CiFGa to live a peaceful life, and finally it’s happened. I’m home. We beat the invaders back, ground them into the dust, crippled their fleets, brought them to their knees. We shamed them. They won’t soon return to my world. The planetary leaders call me a hero, a CiFGan worthy of reward. After years of celibacy and bland rations, I don’t want wealth and titles. All I want is willing women and spicy food. What do I get? Knighted for bravery, enough credits to retire, and a betrothal contract. I’ve been saddled with a human bride.

None of it was worth anything if she couldn’t stay alive. Alone in the Alaskan forest, Charlotte feels safe at last. Even if she’s lost. Even if she’s only got a burner phone that lost its last bar miles ago, and even if she missed her turn and can’t find the cabin she was promised by a friend. Tucked into a sleeping bag in the backseat of “Ted”—her ancient 4-Runner—she’s finally living life on her own terms. But that feeling is short-lived. In the middle of the woods, Charlotte’s attacked, brutally, and unforgivingly—and a lone wolf bites her leg. And it’s a bite that will change her life forever.

With every lead turning into a dead end, Damian and Roz must team up to find the killer, even if it means digging up buried emotions. As they dive into the underbelly of Ombrazia, the pair will discover something more sinister—and far less holy.

THORNWOOD ACADEMY 1: NEVER SAY DIE by LJ Swallow

I’m a vampire-witch hybrid with a fondness for necromancy. Excuse me if I’m a little dead inside. I tried to attend a human school, but they didn’t appreciate my behavior. Personally, I found biology class more interesting when the dissected animals fought back. The school didn’t. My parents searched for somewhere new to send their deviant daughter, and doors open when your father is Dorian Blackwood. Then they close firmly behind once he dumps you inside an exclusive supernatural academy, along with instructions to become ‘a touch more amiable’. Says the guy who spent his teen years tearing throats out. Luckily, I’ve inherited my father’s sociopathic tendencies and my mother’s magical skills, a lethal yet useful combination when navigating academy life. Thornwood Academy. Home to the elite who strive to excel—and now me, who strives to leave. Since the supernaturals revealed themselves to the world, the unluckiest human kids join the vampires and witches at Thornwood. Hopefully, the humans aren’t dissected in this biology class. I don’t care that nobody trusts me, but when the headmaster’s son is found unalived, fingers point at Dorian’s darkling daughter. Ridiculous. I would’ve reanimated the bullying asshole and demanded he perform tricks. Such a wasted opportunity. If I want help clearing my name, I need to become ‘a touch more amiable’ to the three guys who seem oddly fascinated by me. Somebody doesn’t want the accords between humans and supes to last, and I’m not taking the blame just because I’m a Blackwood.      AmazonKU

When you’re an immortal soul reborn again and again because you drank from the Holy Grail, there isn’t much else to do than galivant around the globe, accomplishing quests for points and competing against your fellow immortals. For Lancelot it’s life, and yet after centuries he finds himself distracted by a different thrill — the one he gets from his greatest rival, Palomides. So when Palomides approaches him with a new quest, Lancelot jumps at the opportunity, even if it takes him to the edge of nowhere, to the deep woods of Wisconsin, chasing after a myth. When the myth turns out to be deadly real, will Lancelot get swept up in the battle and zeal of questing, of playing the Game, or will he find that there’s a different way he’d much rather score?

WHEN A MOTH LOVED A BEE (DESTINI CHRONICLES BOOK ONE) by Pepper Winters

A pack of wolves hunt a girl who takes her last breath by a river’s edge. She is found and nursed back to health by the kind-hearted Nhil people. She has no memory. No past. And is given a choice that could change her forgotten life forever. A pack of wolves adopt a man who begs for death in the grasslands. Blood revives him. Flesh strengthens him. All while the alpha watches him as if he knows who he is. He has no memory. No past. And yet…he’s drawn toward the smoke of a faraway clan. And in that smoke, he finds a girl with the same mark on her thigh, the same empty mind, and the same forgotten language on her lips. He’s convinced they know each other. She’s certain they are strangers. But the more time they spend together, the more tangled the truth becomes. Their forgetfulness was deliberate. To keep them apart. To keep them lost. To keep them from claiming their true power. Because in that power exists a terrible choice. A choice that could destroy the world…or each other.
