FROM THOK WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Susan Trombley
Can a grieving widow find love again with an alien who’s more tree than human and whose touch is toxic? Frannie – Still grieving for the husband I lost during the invasion of Earth, I signed up with the Human Outreach Alliance Network to become a bride in an arranged marriage with an alien. I don’t expect to find love in a match meant for political alliances, but I hope that leaving Earth behind for another world will free me from the heartache of my past. The Valentine’s Day reveal of my future husband leaves me in shock and despair. My “match” is a Thokost—an eight-foot-tall behemoth of a tree-man with a toxic touch. I’ll need to undergo a series of experimental treatments to make me immune to his toxin. To my surprise, the letters we exchange during the painful process reveal an unexpectedly sweet and thoughtful side to the four-armed, four-tailed, bark-skinned alien. My match to Zanthos may not be a disaster after all. But on Thok, the rules require more sacrifices for us to be together. This time, I may not survive them. This is a 30k word novella set in the Iriduan Universe but is not a part of either the Iriduan Test Subjects or Iriduan Universe Love Stories series. AmazonKU

Catching the scent of his mate on a hastily scrawled message, he sets his heading for Earth. Little does he anticipate the vast differences between his people and Olivia’s. The unlikely couple navigate the complexities of love, grapple with the merging of cultures, and forge a connection that transcends the boundaries of their disparate lives. Will love prevail, or will the cosmic forces that drew them together crumble? “From Zarpathia, with Love” is a tale of interstellar romance, where destiny defies the vastness of space, and love becomes the gravitational force that binds two worlds.

FROM ZESTRIA WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Rena Marks
Vanna: That was our dream back when we were eight. We lived on different planets, but once we figured out the art of letter writing, we learned enough about each other’s cultures to become best friends despite the distance. Required to attend space camp, we spent summers together and grew as close as sisters. Eventually we realized marrying her Zestrian stepbrother would have opened up a whole can of worms anyhow. And when I finally meet him? I wasn’t prepared for the rush of hormones that comes along with the Zestrian connection—the rare occurrence that happens to hit for us. Mish: Of all the people for the connection to recognize as my eternal mate, it chooses Vanna Suchey, wild child I’d hoped my little sister would outgrow. Not only did Brionna not outgrow her, but now Vanna’s on our planet and I can’t get away from her. She holds my job in her hands, my life in her hands, and my heart? In her hands. AmazonKU
FROM EARTH WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Sandra R Neeley
Valentine’s Day sucks. It always has. Especially for a socially awkward woman. Leave that woman alone, bitter and angry after the death of her husband, and it only gets worse. Her husband was the only one who ever understood her, the only one who ever cared. Probably because of his own social ineptness, but that’s beside the point. He’s gone now, and that’s not the worst of it — there’s a bit of lying by omission surrounding his death. And doesn’t that just piss her off! His long inactive email address is the only outlet she’s got. So, she floods it with her messages of frustration, messages of anger, and messages of loneliness. Messages that clearly show she’s given up, that she no longer even makes an effort. Little does she know, though, her letters to her late husband have been received. Oh, not by him. They’ve been intercepted. His position as a scientist with SETI put him on the radar of some very secretive, very surprising, very unexpected people. One of them in particular feels her words as he reads them, and makes it his priority to be sure that only he receives them. He wants more for her than simply learning to accept her situation in life and move on from her grief and anger. And if he has his way, he’ll be a part of her healing, and ultimately her happiness. But first he has to manage to survive a political coup, a revolt so to speak. It’s a necessary confrontation that hopefully will save not only her, but her entire world. Maybe then she’ll see him and accept him without fear. A lonely alien can hope, can’t he? This is a fun, quick, Valentine story of just under 33,000 words. AmazonKU
ENTHRALLER (VERDANT STRING BOOK SEVEN) by Michelle Diener
The planet Aponi sits at the outer edge of the Verdant String. For Wren Thorakis, working as an Aponian Special Forces artifacts consultant, it means interesting assignments and unusual discoveries. Being captured and held for ransom by a strange cult while working on the moon Ytla was not something she expected, though. However, while escaping her captors, she stumbles across what could be the discovery of her career—one that no artifact consultant could possibly ignore—a genuine ancestral mothership. The mothership isn’t just amazing in itself, though. Wren finds herself the recipient of crazy-powerful nanotech. It helps keep her alive and one step ahead of those trying to hide the ship’s existence. When Wren starts working out who’s behind keeping her discovery secret, and why, she is plunged into a bigger plot than she ever imagined. A shadowy organization has its eye on Aponi, and isn’t shy to use the Verdant String’s fiercest enemies, the Caruso, to help them take it from the Coalition. When an Aponi Special Forces soldier, Ed Zeneri, who’s existence is also inconvenient to Wren’s enemies, is lured into a trap with Wren and they both come under fire, Wren’s nanotech does whatever it has to to keep her safe—including enthralling Ed to protect her at all costs. Ed knows his reaction to Wren isn’t normal, or even sane, but as the compulsion to put himself in front of anything coming at her recedes, he finds he’s more than inclined to do it of his own volition. He joins forces with Wren to try to stop the takeover of their home planet, and as they race the clock to find the answers they need, he also has to convince Wren that what he feels for her is real. As real as the enemy battleships hovering in Aponi’s nearspace. As real as the deadline to bring them down. As real as it gets. AmazonKU

But I never expected that torment would bring me to Josen. The king’s personal assassin. I might be a slave to the dark elves of his court. But I’m only one man’s toy. The others mistreat me, beat me, try to break me. But I refuse to give up. Why? Because as much as he wants to deny it…He wants me. And I want him more. Even while in this cage, I can’t stop thinking about him. My captors think they own me. They may hold my chains, but one thing is clear…He owns me – heart and soul. AmazonKU

Good thing he has a big fire hose…Still, falling for a demon from the underworld is the last thing I need right now. My conniving ex is back in town, my business is struggling, and there’s a cooking contest that I can’t afford to lose. But when Lucian and I keep ending up in situations too spicy for even the most seasoned of palates, what can I possibly do? 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’.
NOTE: I’m doing my best to avoid listing anything generated from use of AI but it’s sometimes tricky to detect from the resources I have available. As far as covers go, I list the Amazon cover. I won’t feature a cover in my weekly promo for this post if I believe or suspect it was done with AI.
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.
