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

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.

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

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

I wish it was time to settle into my happy-ever-after, but things have only gotten more complicated since the full moon.

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.

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.

The first time someone hears his voice, they’re knocked unconscious, and if they look at him for too long, they risk losing their minds or worse. Handy for a monster who means to menace, but not for one seeking love and hoping to one day feed from the energies of passion instead of terror.

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?

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.

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.
Thank you for including Fox Trapped in your release roundup!
