FLETCHER: THORNSCORE VOL TWO by EG Manetti
FLETCHER – Once a galaxy-renowned Moon Racer, Fletcher’s competitive career ended in the battle for the Thirteenth System. Shot down over Bright Star Deuce, he was fortunate to survive, his left arm and leg replaced with state-of-the-art prosthetics. Now only half a warrior, he is relegated to testing new technologies for Serengeti. The first step is the Fourth System, where the technology will be tested before being deployed to the Thirteenth System. However, there are forces in the Thirteen Systems that do not want the colonization to succeed and will do anything to ensure the expedition’s failure. When chance places Clarice on the same transport to the Fourth System, he discovers the former apprentice has developed into a beguiling woman. Torn between duty and desire, he must forge a new path into the future. CLARICE – Once a lowly apprentice, her skill, courage, and honor promoted Clarice to legalistics protégé. Through years of deprivation, she learned to value every success. Years of humiliation have conditioned her to weigh every relationship for benefit and never risk her heart. Handsome, charismatic, and a warrior of impeccable lineage, Fletcher Detrenti has been on the periphery of her life for half a decade. She admired his bravery, respected his honor, and enjoyed his easygoing nature. She was shocked by the withdrawn and taciturn man who returned from war. Bound for a distant system in his company, she cannot resist the pull between them.

ENEMIES IN ENERGY SECTOR (LADY ELIZABETH COZIES IN SPACE BOOK FIVE) by Diana Xarissa
It was time for another planetary excursion, and I was really excited to see my very first beach planet. Caboluxous turned out to be everything I’d expected it would be and more – sunshine, sand, sea, fancy cocktails, and expensive food. It wasn’t long before I found myself getting bored with the planet, though. I was thinking about heading back to the Lady Elizabeth when someone shouted my name. Jason was the very last person in the galaxy I’d have expected to see on Caboluxous. When he said he and his wife, Tara, had taken the Express Shuttle to the planet just to surprise me, I was more than a little shocked. Jason had bought my ticket for the Lady Elizabeth and we’d said our goodbyes. I hadn’t expected to ever see him again. And I knew very well that Tara hated me, so it was difficult to imagine why she’d agreed to the journey. [SNIP] The police woke me the next morning. Tara was missing and it looked very much as if I’d had a hand in her disappearance. ..(more blurb on ebook seller’s page) AmazonKU
SEER WARS SEASON TWO: A NEW ENEMY PART II: BOOK FIVE by J C Andrijeski
VS Note: Originally written as a seriel so there are cliffhangers.
All he could see was his wife. All he could comprehend was that he’d already lost her. He watched her walk through that open portal…then everything flashed white. River is gone. The dark seers known as the Eye stole her right out of his hands. He nearly died trying to stop it from happening, but it wasn’t enough. Now all he can do is go after her, hunt down the beings who did this to them, who tore away his wife before they’d even completed the bond. He’ll kill anyone who stands in his way. The Eye claims they own her, that River belongs to them, but the Eye speaks only lies, and Valek knows the truth. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy, even beyond the nightmare of trying to find her after he got left behind on a distant world. When Valek finally tracks her down in her old city of Los Angeles, River has no idea who he is. She’s no longer his wife, no longer his friend. She has no memory of him at all, nor of the world he came from. It’s like the entire slate got wiped clean, and she’s back to being who she was before any of it happened. But Valek won’t accept that. He’ll be damned if he accepts it. He’ll find a way to reach her, to make her remember who they are, no matter what it takes. AmazonKU

FEARLESS by Grace Goodwin
Mercenary. Enforcer. Cursed. I am not a Coalition fighter. I have no honor. I follow no rules. I am Rogue 5. I am Mikos of Astra Legion. Fate has always been cruel to brutes like me. Exiled from Rogue 5, abandoned by my legion, on the run for a vicious crime, Fate made sure I was captured and tortured by the scourge known as the Hive. I should have died on that Hive prison ship. Instead, a Coalition ReCon team stormed my ship and with them, a female human too beautiful, too fragile, to step near a damaged, unforgiving enforcer like me. Yet the fearless female not only came close, she touched me. The moment I caught her scent, looked into her eyes, I knew she was mine, my mate. A female I could never keep, never bite, never burden, never claim for myself. I would have spared her. Walked away. Until she did the unthinkable. She saved my life, then nearly died in my arms. I had no choice but to bite her, sink my fangs deep, inject her with my essence. Now I’m in her body, in her blood. The most primitive part of me knows she’s mine, and she’s dying, slowly, from my venom. My cursed, hybrid bite. The antidote is on Rogue 5, where I will face the executioner’s blade. So be it. I will never tell my mate the price I pay, but I will save her. If I have to drag her, kicking and screaming, off Battleship Karter, I will. If I must eliminate every Prillon warrior, fighter and Atlan beast on this ship to take her with me, I will. Nothing will stop me. There is nothing I will not do to save her life. The only thing I cannot do is resist. Resist the primal urge to touch her. Taste her. Make her whimper. Make her beg. Make sure that long after I’m gone, she remembers screaming my name.

But while she believes I’m only here to help with the mission, the truth is that I can’t hold back my primal desires any longer.

I just wanted to check on my grandma’s chickens. Next thing I know, I’m being abducted by aliens and thrown in a cell with a huge, muscled alien who’s twice my size. Apparently, he wouldn’t let me go, and he doesn’t intend to any time soon. Thanks to the fact we can’t communicate, I don’t know if he’s decided he’s my own personal body guard or if he’s clinging to me for some… other rock hard reason. I’ve watched enough true crime shows in my life to know we do not want to let our captors take us to another location. Working to escape together feels right. It’s easy—even if I can’t understand a word he says. When we crashland on an inhospitable planet, I have to depend on him to survive. It’s not all bad, though… I’m finding ways of communicating with my big alien that are much more fun than talking. AmazonKU

BREAKING THE ALIEN LOVE CURSE by Veronica Scott
VS Note: This 23K word novella was previously in the Supra Vellum Anthology, which is no longer available, No new material has been added.
Amellia Taneek loved her job as the office manager for a group of Sectors agents from various organizations, all based out of her central location. She enjoyed the challenges of handling administrative details for them and the excitement of constantly meeting new offworlders. She was especially intrigued by Hagan Raljarr, seven feet of green, scaled, muscular SCIA agent, and more than a little curious about his tail. Hey, she was a healthy unmarried, unattached female and there was no rule against dating a co-worker.
But so far he’d shown confusing signs of reciprocating her interest.
Hagan was an honorable warrior and before he could pursue his definite interest in Amellia, who might even be his fated mate, he had to clear up one little detail – the engagement contract he’d been entered into as a child with a female from his own planet. They barely knew each other and she was highly ambitious. Surely in this modern day and age she’d be happy for him to sever the contract and set her free, right? Leaving him in the perfect position to begin courting the lovely human.
But the jilted fiancée sends a mysterious box across the galaxy to him and when he unwisely opens it, a powerful love curse is activated, striking both him and Amellia. They’ll die at dawn if the curse isn’t broken. With help from Amellia’s aunt, who is said to have magic powers, the pair set out on a desperate quest for three special ingredients needed to break the spell. Over the course of a very long night, will Hagan and Amellia find their way to a relationship, break the curse in time and survive? Is such a thing even possible?

SWEET THINGS FOR A CROCODILE (ASSASSINS ALLEY BOOK TWO) by Lisa Oliver
Pax, a cute little pixie (his words), is having a bad day.

Storm, crocodile shifter, assassin, and lover of Italian shoes didn’t consider himself a hero, but he was really glad Cyrus had given him the job of saving the sweet magic user from a manic bear shifter. Now if he could only just save the man without being stabbed…”Evil shifters who chain up cute magic users don’t get mates, sweetie. But it seems like sexy crocodile shifters who save chained up magic users do. Let’s have a look at those cuffs.” It takes a bit of adjustment, but Storm and Pax start working on their lives together. Or at least, they would, if family members on both sides didn’t start coming out of the woodwork causing trouble. Through it all, one thing is clear. Donuts can solve almost anything.

“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 and I use the AI or Not tool to decide.
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!
