CLAIMED BY THE VISSIGROTH: THE VISIGROTHS OF LEANDER by Bella Blair
Letting her go is not an option. She is MINE. KYRA: My dream mission has always been to visit the Fourteen Planets and find out what happened to the lost refugees from Earth a hundred years ago. Finally, the Cosmic Coalition agrees to finance this mission.
But upon arriving on Leander, everything is different from what I envisioned. Right away some despicable creature nearly kills me, and it’s only thanks to the alien, Duncayn, that I survive this encounter. Duncayn turns out to be one of the vissigroths ruling the Fourteen Planets and promises me his help to meet Susserayn Kennenryn and fulfill my mission. Sparks fly from the first time our eyes meet, but how can we have a future when we are from such different worlds? I have a job, a life on Kronos and he is a Vissigroth. I come from a civilized world and he is… a barbarian. DUNCAYN: When I rescue Kyra from an Eulach attack I have no idea that this small encounter will turn my live upside down. But when she rides in front of me on my nicta, I receive a small glimpse of the torture this little human is able to inflict on my body. Mercilessly her perfect behind rubs against… well, we’re riding on a nicta, you get the picture. My only consolation is the knowledge that I will make her mine tonight and every night thereafter. When she turns out to be my querilly, the mate I’m destined to find in each of my lifetimes, I begin to wonder about our future. Not only is a civil war brewing on the Fourteen Planets, but how can I ask Kyra to give everything up for me, her home, her friends, her job, when I am unable to do so for her? AmazonKU

CAPTURE THE SUN: A NOVEL (STARLIGHT’S SHADOW BOOK THREE) by Jessie Mihalik
As a recovery specialist, Lexi Bowen’s jobs typically require more trickery and thievery than honest work. Her former captain might not approve of her flexible morals, but stealing artifacts for rich assholes pays the bills, and Lexi’s had enough of war and death. The FHP left her to die once; she doesn’t plan to give them a chance to finish the job. Unfortunately, her latest contract takes her to Valovia itself—and right back into the orbit of Nilo Shoren, a Valovian teleporter who already cost her one payday and nearly stole her heart. Armored against his clever charm, Lexi plans to get in, get the job done, and get out. But when her former crew goes missing in Valovian space, Lexi will have to work with Nilo to figure out what happened—and stop it—before the galaxy’s two superpowers can use the disappearance as an excuse to return to war.
ZAKAI (ELYON’S WARRIORS BOOK TWO) by Eve Langlais
I found more than religion in an angel’s kiss. My studies in theology didn’t prepare me to deal with angels from outer space. They’re real. They fly. And in their elevated arrogance, they don’t think they need anyone’s help. So, imagine my surprise when the shy but hunky Zakai asks for my assistance in locating Noah’s ark. Apparently, it’s not just a religious myth. The massive ship did exist, and it looks like humanity might need it if they’re going to survive an incoming invasion. As we work to uncover the mystery, we’re stymied by opposing forces doing everything they can to stop us. I’ll admit, I never thought I’d end up fighting demons, just like I never expected to fall in love with an angel. But when given a choice, will he choose me or God?
STRANDED BY THE ALIEN BRIDE LOTERY (KHANAVAI WARRIOR BRIDE GAMES BOOK 11) by Margo Bond Collins
He’s not the warrior I wanted. But now we’re stranded together, and I can’t quit thinking about him. I made it all the way through the Alien Bride Games without being chosen by a Khanavai male, even though I’m certain it’s the only way I’ll ever find anything resembling love. But then I missed the shuttle home, and instead of sending me through the transporter, the Games Administrator insisted I catch I ride back with the crankiest pilot I’ve ever met—a Khanavai warrior who makes it clear that the last thing he wants is to be stuck with a rejected bride. Which is really too bad, because our ship malfunctioned, and now that we’re trapped together on an otherwise deserted planet, I’m all he’s got. If only he weren’t also the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on, I might be able to accept that we’ll never end up together. AmazonKU

VS NOTE: This week my backlist spotlight falls upon JADRIAN, just because it’s one of my favorite Badari stories.
JADRIAN (A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL): Sectors New Allies Series Book 3 by Veronica Scott
The blurb: Taura Dancer has been pushed to her limits by alien torturers known as the Khagrish and is ready to die when suddenly the lab where she’s held as a prisoner is taken down by an armed force of soldiers.
The man who rescues her from a burning cell block is Jadrian of the Badari, a genetically engineered alien warrior with as many reasons to hate the Khagrish as Taura has. This set of shared past experiences and the circumstances of her rescue create an unusual bond between them.
Safe in the hidden base where Jadrian and his pack take her, Taura struggles to regain her lost memories and overcome constant flashbacks during which she lashes out at all who come near. Only Jadrian can recall her from the abyss of her visions and hallucinations.
As the war against the Khagrish continues, it becomes increasingly critical to find out who she really is and how she can help in the fight. Until she can control her terrors and trust her own impulses, Taura’s too afraid to pursue the promise of happiness a life with Jadrian as her mate might offer.
When he’s captured by the dreaded enemy, will she step forward to help save him, or will she remain a prisoner of her past?
This is the third book in a new scifi romance series and each novel has a satisfying Happy for Now ending for the hero and heroine, not a cliffhanger. Some overarching issues do remain unresolved in each book since this is an ongoing series but romance always wins the day in my novels!

The fact that he’s secretly a lion’s mane jellyfish and won’t settle down for anyone but his mate, earns him the reputation of a playboy.

Sitting at a table, drinking chai tea, Saul is pondering the oddity when a young Hispanic human approaches him… and asks if he can join Saul.

Can Saul win his sweet young human’s heart and share the world of shifters with him, or will his reputation get in the way? Amazon Kobo

CORDIALLY HEXED (SPELLBOUND FAVORS BOOK ONE) by Lyra Winters
Hexes were meant to be broken. All I wanted was to live my life peacefully alone within the Allura Empire. But my serene existence was put into jeopardy when five mages barged into my adventurer’s guild uninvited. Their orders came from the Lethium Empire, and they were clear; I had to free them of their curse or replace them as the shield of the empire. The problem was, breaking their curses wasn’t the only thing on my mind when it came to these mages. Casper and Jasper, the psychotic twin mages, one light and one dark, that shattered my resolve every chance they got. Aimon, the caring earth mage that broke down my walls one meal at a time. Bastian, the quirky potion mage who stole my breath with each failing concoction. Silas, the insufferable dual-classed mage that annoyed the spirit out of me with every empire-damned opinion he spouted. It started out as breaking a few curses, but their curses were only a fraction of the true threat looming over us all. AmazonKU
MIDNIGHT MATED (CLOVER PACK BOOK ONE) by Savannah Lee

Whisked away to the middle of the woods with no car or money, I found myself surrounded by crazies who claim to shift into animals and run in packs during the full moon. Even crazier? They say I’m one of them. And so was my attacker. Normally I’d be running for the hills, but when the leader of this group tells me there have been other deadly attacks and I’m the sole survivor, the ten thousand dollar bounty he offers in exchange for my help is too tempting to resist. Forced to partner with a gorgeous but infuriating rogue shifter who challenges me at every turn, we’re propelled into a race against the clock to track down the killer. Before it’s too late. AmazonKU

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.
