STRIKE ZONE (DAUNTLESS CYBORGS BOOK ONE) by Cynthia Sax

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her. While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate. She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet. The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission. Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has. Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.
Desperately. Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.
When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect. She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind. Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

TAMED BY THE ALIEN OUTLAW (STAR MAVERISCKS BOOK TWO) by Iona Strom

My trip to Zune is meant as only a quick stop on my way to Natari 5 where bigger treasures await my plundering. The prison moon is where I know for certain I can obtain a medical cuff to replace the one I gifted Navik and his pregnant mate Cora. Returning to the scene of one of my many thefts, I didn’t plan on staying long. Didn’t plan on many things like being captured by escaped Ziarian prisoners or the human female who breathed life into my beast. My body surges and swells with new life. My hands curl into fists. Claws extend, long and sharp as daggers. I lick the tip of one fang and grin. I won’t be locked up much longer. Thanks to her. Author Note: Star Mavericks series is similar to a reverse harem with an alpha male who can morph into a beast. You’ve been warned.     AmazonKU

The most terrifying weapon of the century is called on to pay the price of her actions, but once her origin and training are explained, a compromise is reached. She has to hand herself over and hope she survives. Nelith has been trying to atone for what the Uraddan government made her do to the citizens of other countries and her own.

She had tried to socialize herself, but the BDC rejected her when she took offense to a simulation and sliced the machine into several pieces.

TIMTUR: THE TEACHER’S ALIEN HEALER (BADARI WARRIORS): IN THE STARS ROMANCE

NOTE: Would be Book 2.5 if Amazon had let me list a book with a decimal number at the time!

Far from her home in the human Sectors after the mass kidnapping, teacher Lily Garrison is making a niche for herself in the valley by running a school for the Badari young. Although she yearns for Timtur, the pack’s healer, another Badari male has his eye on her and won’t take no for an answer.

Timtur feels the weight and responsibility of being the pack’s only healer, constantly on call as the soldiers fight ferocious battles against the alien scientists and their troops. With scarcely a moment to himself, he’s drawn to the gentle Lily but worries he won’t be able to juggle his duties, his loyalty to the pack and a relationship with a human woman.

When Lily’s stalker takes direct action to kidnap her and steal her from the safety of the valley, she’s forced to reach deep inside to find the strength to battle for her life. Timtur realizes too late how foolish he’s been to resist the bond with his fated mate and leads the rescue effort.

Before this situation can be resolved both will have to put their lives on the line and decide what really matters in a dangerous world ruled by the enemy.

Although this is the fifth book released in the Badari Warriors scifi romance series, the story of Timtur and Lily is a standalone and actually comes immediately after book two’s events.

My heart is torn between the man I am hunting down, a man who stole my heart along with a jewel he had no right to take, and the man who stands at my side. One human with abilities he should not have. One vampire with a mouth that sets me on fire and leaves my body aching for more. Neither should be where I set my heart as a queen.

STEALING THE LORGOR’S HEART (THE MATE INDEX BOOK 14) by S J Sanders

Stacey Kendricks had been deceived by promises seven years ago that she was the one that the Calysii prince wished to have as his true mate, his bride—the one that he would relinquish his other ceremonial mates for. She had been young and foolish to believe it, and the cost of the foolishness was high—a gilded cage she had no hope of escaping. With her dreams of romance and love long destroyed, and her days spent trying to avoid the demands of her cruel and selfish “mate,” Prince Gaix’s sudden plans for a romantic destination Valentines’ Day with his human mates was just nothing short of a painful mockery of the love The Mate Index Distribution Program had once promised her. To add insult to injury, they were heading to Kaidava, the most romantic planet in the Intergalactic Union, and the captain of their ship was none other than Captain Otorol, the Lorgor male she had been unable to forget. Captain Otorol was the one male who had come close to making her forget her promise to mate with Gaix all those years ago. Her attraction to him was immediate and powerful and she had tried to hide it behind disdain. But trapped once more on King’s Glory with him, there was no hiding from the undeniable pull between them…(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)   AmazonKU

The pros and cons of being abducted by aliens. Pros: The nifty little machine that turned my sixty-two-year-old body back to its twenty-something gloriousness. Cons: My alien abductors sold me to the madam of the Hartouk Lenaii, the most popular hedonism ship in the universe. It’s like Vegas on steroids, and my new job is at the alien version of the ‘Chicken Ranch’. At least none of my friends from the Outlander Tuesday Night book club are stuck here with me. Honestly, it could be worse, my new owner is a nice sort who allowed me a few weeks to acclimate to my new life. But time’s up, and tonight, I have to take my first client or risk getting sold to an alien who looks more interested in how I’d taste on toast than perform between the sheets. I’m pondering how to handle males who look like a blob of Jello with stick arms without vomiting when he walks in. Tall, with tons of muscles and eyes that look like the gold of a setting sun. If all my clients look like him… being on a hedonism ship might not be so bad. Hell, I might even enjoy it. But Tarook isn’t a client—he’s been sent by my friends to rescue me. A fact he divulges after his mistaken identity leads us to partake in what ranks as the best sex of my life. I’d like to hate him for the remiss… only my newly awakened libido doesn’t seem to agree with that idea.   AmazonKU

POSITIVELY NOT HUMAN: ALIEN INTEGRATION BOOK THREE by Pearl Tate

It’s just the two of us, and even though he calls regularly, after months of hiding out, I’m ready for company. I understand my father is high-ranking in the military, and they’re working around the clock to save people from the virus killing so many. But aren’t I more important? Plus, I can’t lose my father. It almost killed us both when my mother passed. I’ve always known I’d be in charge of making my family with a husband someday in the future.

I was an adolescent when he entered a secret government program and he casually told me he’d be among the missing for years. But what I don’t expect is for him to be identical to the way I remember. Tall, built… and devastatingly handsome. Especially since I don’t want to be attracted to someone married to the military. But after a few days—I give up. I’m an adult now, and we’re here all alone. Why shouldn’t we hook up? Who would have thought that the medical changes the government performed to “enhance” him would transfer to me? And when my father returns… all hell breaks loose.   AmazonKU

The curse is broken—kinda. I know why I was brought back to Winter Creek—for the most part. My story is over… and that’s just wishful thinking talking. I wish it was time to settle into my happy-ever-after, but things have only gotten more complicated since the full moon. Because while Lucas is my bonded mate now, his bite did more than just mark me as his. It triggered something deep inside of me that I never would’ve guessed was there, and now I’m coming to grips that everything I thought I knew about my life was a lie. I’m not human. I don’t know if I ever was. Part-witch and part-shifter, there’s a reason why I was hunted down seventy years ago—and why I’ve been given a second chance at another life. I’m still Fallon, though, and as I struggle to figure out which if my memories of mine and which belong to the woman I used to be, I just want to find a happy ending to my new story. I have the hero, right? The wicked witch got what she wanted when I broke the curse on Winter Creek, and my new pack is happy to welcome me as one of their own. Well, most of them—and that’s one problem. The other? A familiar scent I can’t quite place… until my grandmother sends one of her henchman with a proposition that I just can’t refuse. Because, as it turns out, I’m not the only new wolf shifter in Winter Creek, and my old friend needs my help… no matter how much Lucas still thinks he has to protect me. It’s time for this chick to show how much of a predator she can be—once I figure out how to control my shifts, that is.     AmazonKU

REAPING DEMONS (SCYTHE AND SOUL BOOK ONE) by Eve Langlais

Turns out there are monsters in the world, and I am not talking about the kind that eat pizza with a knife and fork. For over 40 years, I never knew of the demons that lurk among us. One foggy night, everything changed as I witnessed strange creatures emerge from a sewer to attack. Horrible monsters that only I could see. As if almost dying weren’t traumatizing enough, I became a target, not just of the sexy scythe-wielding man who took out the abominations, nor the cute detective who questioned me as a witness to the carnage. For some reason, the demons are after my middle-aged ass! Why would they care about an average woman who works as a clerk, rides the bus, and lives in an apartment alone? I’m told it’s because I’m special. Because there is a latent magic in me I never knew about. I disagree but that hasn’t stopped folks from expecting me to join the resistance. I’d rather go back to my quiet life, however, now that the demons have found me, they won’t rest until they have me in their clawed clutches. Like hell am I going down without a fight. I never asked to be a heroine, but apparently, I’ve been chosen and now I must reap what fate has bestowed before chaos is sown.

Perhaps the only way he’ll know passion is to switch what he’s looking for from romance to the carnal side of human curiosity. Coming off a bad breakup with a gaslighting ex, Miles Wainwright isn’t looking for love, though he still longs for it and misses the presence of someone else in his home. Even in his work as a graphic designer, he can’t stand up for himself and always ends up doing what is asked of him. He wishes he could give himself over to a partner and trust that they’ll take care of him. For now, he’ll settle for fulfilling a fantasy and hope it helps him heal. He doesn’t expect to want more from Cael, the strangely alluring monster with a shark-toothed smile and tendrils who matches his request, but even if it means madness to stare long into the abyss, does Miles dare steal a peek?     AmazonKU

MEDEA: A NOVEL by Eilish Quin

Among the women of Greek mythology, the witch Medea may be the most despised. Known for the brutal act of killing her own children to exact vengeance on her deceitful husband, the Argonauts leader Jason, Medea has carved out a singularly infamous niche in our histories. But what if that isn’t the full story? The daughter of a sea nymph and the granddaughter of a Titan, Medea is a paradox. She is at once rendered compelling by virtue of the divinity that flows through her bloodline and made powerless by the fact of her being a woman. As a child, she intuitively submerges herself in witchcraft and sorcery, but soon finds it may not be a match for the prophecies that hang over her entire family like a shroud. As Medea comes into her own as a woman and a witch, she also faces the arrival of the hero Jason, preordained by the gods to be not only her husband, but also her lifeline to escape her isolated existence. Medea travels the treacherous seas with the Argonauts, battles demons she had never conceived of, and falls in love with the man who may ultimately be her downfall. In this propulsive, beautifully written debut, readers will finally hear Medea’s side of the story through a fresh and feminist lens.

Despite her mastery, she is destined to die young in battle, as predicted by a seer. When an ancient prophecy of destruction threatens to come true, Leonora—and therefore Pantera—is forced to decide: surrender the mask or fight to the end. Knowing she is doomed to a short life, she is tempted to take the former option.

COOKING WITH MAGIC (HELLHOUND COLLAR SERIES BOOK FOUR) by Lisa Oliver

“I would never hurt you… Please don’t flinch like that. You need to come with me, that’s all, and for that I need to touch you.” Hellhound Faron wasn’t expecting anything when he went to his local diner for a meal before heading home. He might have privately hoped that he could catch sight of his favorite chef, Patrick, but the food was worth eating anyway. What he doesn’t expect, when he’s finished his meal, was to find Patrick sitting in a rusty truck at the back of the diner parking lot, with tears and bruises covering his face. Faron had to do something. “…when I went to get out of the truck, the coma kicked in. This is all a coma-induced dream. It’s amazing.” Patrick Duncan didn’t expect his favorite hottie from the diner to find him crying in a rusty truck, and he definitely didn’t expect to collapse in a coma-dream straight afterward. But that had to have been what had happened to him. How else could he find himself in Scotland, having a wonderful meal and being taken on a walk to find a magical tree?  Dreams quickly became reality and Patrick has a lot of adjustments to make, finding out he’s the mate of a hellhound. Shadow puppies aside, Faron still wants to deal with the man responsible for Patrick’s bruises. Unfortunately, that wasn’t as easy as it sounded. And what was the message Patrick’s dead Mom trying to send Patrick in relation to his magic? Magic that Patrick didn’t think he even had.     Amazon     Apple Books     Kobo

But fate forces me back to our small town. And now my fated mate wants me back. I started over after he shattered my heart. I built a new life on my own. But fate has a way of haunting you. The crushing pain he caused still coats my vulnerable body. The cruel words he said still burn in my thirsty mouth. He thinks that as the Alpha, he can order me around. And even though I try to resist, I know he’s always owned me. His tongue owns my treacherous body, responding desperately to him. His hands own my growing belly, aching for his liquid love. Can I let the Alpha heal my broken heart?   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’.

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.
