BONE ISLE by Edward Kendrick
VS Note: Publisher classifies this as a “gay PNR”.
Six friends: Tyler, the oldest at 26, is a waiter, a bit of a playboy, and a cynic. Neil, 21, is the newest and youngest member of the group. He’s innocent, almost naive, a college junior, and has a crush on Tyler. Jake is 25, the tacit leader of the group. He works at a big-box store. Dave, Jake’s life partner, is also 25, who works at his father’s hardware store. Pete, 22, is straight and a college senior studying communications.

ROMANCING THE MONSTROUS EARL by Saranna DeWylde
Dear Lady Yvaine of Moray, It is with no great regret that Her Majesty informs you that after the unfortunate fencing incident with Lord Tyler, the stabbing of the younger Lord of Malay with a hat pin, and finally, the brawl with the Ladies Banning (including the Dowager), it is Her decree that you shall attend The Monsters Ball, and there you will find among them a husband to match your harridan, monstrous nature. Lady Yvaine of Moray maintains that the above incidents were not entirely her fault. She was cursed, you see. Not to be a hat pin wiedling menace—although that is a plus in her book— but to be claimed by a low level demon who has bedeviled her since childhood. Her only way out: marry someone more villainous, who will send the fiend scurrying with his tail between his legs. Well, Lady Yvaine has never been one for half measures. So she sets her cap for the most villainous monster of them all. The grotesque Earl of Evernight, an impossibly large, horned beast with wings, claws, and a devil’s tail. He’s ruled his lands without question for a lifetime, but now the fates have come calling. To keep his claim on Evernight, he must marry and produce an heir. Mael will take her body and soul for his own, but didn’t count on her heart. He’s decided demons don’t love, but Yvaine has never been one to back down from a challenge. This Season, place your bets at White’s: Will this be a match made in Hell, or an epic love to defy even the stars (and Her Most Irritated Majesty)? AmazonKU

THE FAIRY BARGAINS OF PROSPECT HILL by Rowenna Miller
VS Note: Mixed reviews on this one.
There is no magic on Prospect Hill—or anywhere else, for that matter. But just on the other side of the veil is the world of the Fae. Generations ago, the first farmers on Prospect Hill learned to bargain small trades to make their lives a little easier—a bit of glass to find something lost, a cup of milk for better layers in the chicken coop. Much of that old wisdom was lost as the riverboats gave way to the rail lines and the farmers took work at mills and factories. Alaine Fairborn’s family, however, was always superstitious, and she still hums the rhymes to find a lost shoe and to ensure dry weather on her sister’s wedding day. When Delphine confides her new husband is not the man she thought he was, Alaine will stop at nothing to help her sister escape him. Small bargains buy them time, but a major one is needed. Yet, the price for true freedom may be more than they’re willing to pay.

THE CLEAVING by Juliet E McKenna
The Cleaving is an Arthurian retelling that follows the tangled stories of four women: Nimue, Ygraine, Morgana, and Guinevere, as they fight to control their own destinies amid the wars and rivalries that will determine the destiny of Britain. The legendary epics of King Arthur and Camelot don’t tell the whole story. Chroniclers say Arthur’s mother Ygraine married the man that killed her husband. They say that Arthur’s half-sister Morgana turned to dark magic to defy him and Merlin. They say that the enchantress Nimue challenged Merlin and used her magic to outwit him. And that Arthur’s marriage to Guinevere ended in adultery, rebellion and bloodshed. So why did these women chose such dangerous paths? As warfare and rivalries constantly challenge the king, Arthur and Merlin believe these women are destined to serve Camelot by doing as they are told. But men forget that women talk. Ygraine, Nimue, Morgana and Guinevere become friends and allies while the decisions that shape their lives are taken out of their hands. This is their untold story. Now these women have a voice.

‘Everybody has their own journey; their own story’– and surviving the Regalo project is only part of mine. And you know that saying, desperate times call for desperate measures, that could be the next chapter in my life. I never thought I’d call the Alpha Alliance, and ask for assistance, but here we are. Somehow, that one call ends with me agreeing to go offline with four alphas. Four crazy good-looking alphas that ‘feel’ right. And don’t get me started about the way they smell…But, and that’s a big but, there’s a few issues. Like the fact I’ve got a secret, or twenty. And being an omega isn’t one of them. The other problem is, I know two of my rescuers. When they find out who I am, one of my secrets is going to be blown out of the water. Time will tell if they’ll be more names I need to add to my sh*t list, or if the intense connection we share will be a part of my happily ever after.

I really am prepared to risk it all, including them, because I made a deal I’d never be caged again. But thankfully, these gorgeous alphas are as determined, blood-thirsty and as pig-headed as I am.

A BOND OF BROKEN GLASS (THE SEVERED REALMS) by T A Lawrence
VS Note: One clicked after reading the Look Inside. I love Cinderella retellings and this one seems – wow – VERY different.
The shoe fits, but she’s no Cinderella. Ellie knows what she wants in life: Open a glassblowing shop in the art district. See her father retire. Marry for love. (If she can find someone who can keep up, that is). Winning the fae prince’s heart doesn’t make the list. So when Prince Evander throws a ball to find a human bride, Ellie respectfully declines. And when she reads the morning paper and discovers the prince danced the night away with a mysterious stranger, only for the woman to flee at the stroke of midnight, Ellie can’t help but laugh. Until she learns the mystery girl left behind a glass slipper. Ellie’s glass slipper. From the set that went missing from Ellie’s workshop. So when the idiotic prince decides it’s a good idea to use the slipper to identify the love of his life (because, you know, no two women could possibly share the same shoe size), Ellie doesn’t hesitate to prove the slipper is hers. Little does she know there’s been a modification to her work of art. The prince may or may not have attached a fae bargain to the shoe, and when Ellie places it on her foot, she finds herself both legally and magically betrothed to the very prince she detests. Not that Prince Evander is thrilled about the situation, either. After all, he’d thought the shoe would only fit Cinderella. Together, the unhappy couple must discover a way to break the fae bond, but there’s danger along the way. And what’s more dangerous than falling in love with someone whose heart belongs to another?

I did the only thing that I could think of – I ran. Hoping that no one would find me in a tiny little town in Alaska, I found my way to Snow Haven – and into the arms of a tiger shifter. Beau Dillon was happy with his life. He owned The Shifter’s Paradise, the only bar in Snow Haven. An avowed bachelor, he wasn’t too happy when I showed up, with a mysterious past, looking for work. All of the other women who had popped into town brought a heap load of trouble with them. I was no exception. My ex-fiancé, Damian, came hunting for me in this town I started to call home. He was determined to tear me away from my love – Beau. Soon, I discovered that I had another secret – I was pregnant with Beau’s child. An angry ex-fiancé – determined to drag me back home. A father, alpha of our wolf clan – wanted me dead for dishonoring him.
A tiger shifter – the love of my life and father of my baby. Beau was wary of the trouble that followed me into Snow Haven. Yet his tender arms embraced me, loved me, and tried to protect me from the evil that pursued me. Would my love rescue me in time as I stand before the elder, forced to go through a mating ceremony with a man I despise? AmazonKU

WATERING STONE (BETAS IN WAITING BOOK 14) by Viola Grace
Bumping into her ex-boyfriend ten years later was unexpected, but having their attraction flare and include two other alphas was shocking, even without the dragons.
Eliana was travelling to become her friend’s nanny. The journey on the private plane was long, but the presence of a familiar face made it an eternity. Ten years earlier, her then-boyfriend had marked her and left town. It had been a shocking turn of events. He had told her he loved her, then morphed into a dragon and pressed fire onto her back. Efforts by friends had stilled the fire in her and left the mark hollow, and now… here he was with two friends, and they were all staring at her. Life as a nanny was short. Keahi, Nalu, and Mano all began courting her, and her new boss decided that she could start later or not at all. Dealing with a decade-long hurt was difficult. Dealing with two dragons and a giant shark was easy in comparison. Can the fairy tale restart with a deep dive into the ocean, or will it sink before it swims?

I’ve also sown my wild oats across those realms, taking pleasure when and where it’s offered. It’s a work hard, play harder lifestyle but I’m just the demigod to do it. Zora is the god of Life but before that she was a mortal held captive, growing up without love or affection. Raised in the pits of Hell, she was a pawn in a sinister plan to destroy the world. Tossed into the life of an immortal deity, Zora is understandably closed off and confused about who she is and where she fits in. But the one place she fits perfectly is in my bed and the more time I spend with her, the more I’d like to keep her there permanently. My attempts to win over the ethereal beauty are thwarted when a nefarious plan begins to unfold, leaving Zora missing and me scrambling to solve a mystery no one saw coming. As an immortal, time is of little importance but becomes a precious commodity where saving Zora is concerned. I’ve lived centuries never knowing true love, but I know one thing with absolute certainty—Zora is what I need to complete my eternal life. Now I need to make sure she lives long enough to realize the same about me.

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.
