CLAIMED BY THE ALIEN BARBARIAN (BRIDES OF THE ZULDRUX WARRIORS BOOK THREE) by Ava Ross
Kerry: After I’m taken from Earth and dropped in an alien forest on a distant planet, I resign myself to never going home. There went my dream of finding someone to love. Then a gorgeous, blue-skinned and severely wounded alien stumbles into my campsite and collapses on the ground beside me. As I nurse him back to health, I start wondering if this seven-foot-tall, muscle-bound guy with shadows flickering in his teal eyes could be the one. Nevarn tells me he was traveling to the clan he grew up in, that he was banished for a crime he didn’t commit, and that he’s going to prove his innocence. When he asks me to help him, I realize there’s no place I’d rather be than at his side. Nevarn: After I was banished from my birth clan, I created a new life for myself in the forest far from home. But my banishment is over, and I’m determined to find out who framed me and find justice. On the way, I’m attacked and left for dead, and a beautiful human woman, Kerry, saves my life. When a symbol appears on my wrist, I know she’s my fated mate. She agrees to travel with me, and I see this as my chance to show her all a Zuldruxian male has to offer. But someone is following us, and it’s clear they’ll do anything to keep us from reaching our destination. I’d burn the world down to protect Kerry, but will we survive long enough to fall in love?

If you’ve got it, haunt it…Once upon a time, I had big ideas, big dreams, and big plans. But when my mother left my kid sister with me when I was only fifteen, I was suddenly the single mother I never thought I’d be. Someone had to raise Torren and show her love and support, the way parents were supposed to love their children, the way our mother never did. To do so, I had to forget all of my own dreams. When I dropped Torren off on Megelle Island two years ago, it was finally my time again. Time to chase those plans I’d pushed aside. So I had…until one day I realized I felt empty. That dream job lost all its sparkle. My friends just felt more alien than ever, it was like I woke up one day and forgot how to act human. Because I was a jinn, and even among the supernatural society, I was rare. Nobody ever told me how lonely rare felt. So I packed up my stuff and returned to the one place I never should have left: Megelle Island. An Island hidden from human eyes where supernaturals like me could live freely and peacefully. I didn’t know what my future held I just knew I wanted to see Torren. But when I found her, I found her with a soulmate, a fiancé…an entire life that no longer included me. I’d never felt more lost and confused. And then I came face-to-face with my ex-boyfriend. The man I’d broken up with ten years ago because he was mortal and I wasn’t. The man I’d broken my own heart over. Except now…he was a vampire, and the rules were all different. 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 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!
Just noticed this in case you want to know. The link to “CONNECTED” is not listed that I can see (?). Sorry if I’m not seeing it and it’s in clear sight but I saw you pre-ordered so of course I wanted to check it out but can’t find it. Thanks for all you do
It’s there but it’s kinda lost between the end of the blurb and my note that the book wasn’t up on Apple or Kobo yet the day I checked. Sorry it’s not more visible! The book is the latest in a rather gritty MM PNR series that I’ve been enjoying for a number of years! Thanks for bringing up the concern though – I’d always rather know if something is or might be wrong on the Report!
