RESISTING THE ALIEN COMMANDER (BRIDES OF THE BOHNARI) by Erin Hale

Horek – As Commander of the Bohnari guards, my career is the one thing I care about more than anything. Even more than the mating fever afflicting our males that causes us to slowly descend into madness unless we find mates. When the crown prince of Bohna negotiates with one of the Earth leaders for willing human brides, I have no interest in one. No matter the risk. Until one of the females triggers my mating fever to burn out of control, and all I desire is Quinn. Except another male wants her as well. I’ll have to convince her she’s my heart’s fire before the madness consumes me. Quinn – Born and raised in the bottom tier, I know the upper tier will do anything to keep us down. When the President announces that we’re the only women eligible for the Bohnari bridal lottery, I’m suspicious. Not that I have any interest in becoming a bride and leaving my mother—and only family left—behind. Except, somehow, my name is called, along with my best friend’s. Once we arrive on Bohna, I manage to catch the attention of one of the younger guards. Too bad it’s the Commander who sets my blood on fire. When I learn the truth about the mating fever that affects him, I’m not sure I can trust what Horek feels is real.     AmazonKU

How can she get him to open up? Maybe she’ll get a chance to unlock his secrets when he helps her to evade capture by an organization that wants something she inherited from her archeologist father. While on the run—that turns into a quest to discover her father’s last known whereabouts—she discovers Leo is no ordinary man. He’s a Zodiac Warrior with a mission from the stars. Together, they must explore a jungle in search of an ancient artifact and find a way for Leo to forgive the sins of his past so love can flourish in his future.

REDONDO (MATES OF THEMYLOS BOOK SEVEN) by Leona Windwalker

VS note: MM SFR.

Thomas – I have a huge problem. My rent is three months past due, and there’s an eviction notice taped to my door. The best paying roles I’ve tried out for all seem to go to someone else, and the payday loans I took out are long past due. Payday loans, which did not come from anywhere reputable, seeing as I’d defaulted on two of those previously and took out one of the shadier loans from ‘a guy who was a friend of a friend of a chick a former castmate met at a party’ to repay them. I called my agent and spilled my woes in desperation, she had a suggestion: go to the local Scholarship center and apply to try out for the new educational TV series soon to begin production within the Mylos Fleet. The job comes with some definite perks, free housing and all living expenses paid, free healthcare and dental, and a decent salary. It does have a few catches, however. The first is that there is a five year commitment attached to all of the adult roles. The second is all cast members must relocate to the Fleet. The third is what gives me a moment’s pause, all unmarried adult applicants must submit to a mate matching test, with all the legal ramifications should a match be found. Redondo – I’m Mylos only by adoption, taken in by a Mylos warrior after finding me hiding among a stack of crates after responding to a distress call at a Dragonii colony outpost. I’m larger than most Mylos, nearly a full head taller as well as broader. I’m scaled all the time and my fangs are always present. I’m also winged…(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)

FURY’S CATS (COSMIC CATS) by Evelyn Lederman

Never trust anyone allergic to cats. Captain Cassidy Ryan lives by that motto, especially when her spaceship, The Fury, comes with three genetically-enhanced felines who can communicate through neurotransmitters—and have plenty to say. Cassidy’s crew may toe the line with their legal cargo runs, but when the Consortium Government takes control of her ship, she’s ready to tell the infuriatingly gorgeous Squadron Commander Branson Goody exactly where to shove his orders. Branson Goody’s covert missions are designed to protect the Consortium’s fragile peace across the galaxies. Failure isn’t an option, but neither is ignoring Cassidy, the stubborn and captivating captain whose past may hold secrets as dangerous as the conflict he’s trying to prevent. Add three sharp-clawed cats with plenty of cattitude to the mix, and Branson finds himself questioning whether the real battle lies in the stars—or aboard The Fury. As old grudges reignite and conspiracies threaten to plunge two galaxies into war, Cassidy and Branson must decide if their undeniable connection can withstand betrayal, secrets, and interstellar chaos. The fate of peace—and their hearts—rests on a delicate balance… and a few furry allies with claws in the game.       Amazon

The next, I’m in a glowing spaceship with a growly alien named Rokkon who’s richer than anyone on Earth—and way too interested in me. He’s got a mansion, a mysterious locked room, and a very firm way of saying my name that makes me forget I ever wanted a normal life. I was supposed to live with him for six months. No strings. No feelings. Just a paycheck. But now he’s sending me roses, reading my thoughts, and making me feel like the center of his universe.

PLEASURE CREW: ESSA by Morgan Robinson

All my friends have found their soulmates. At this point, it feels like the universe is laughing at my misfortune. Not that I can think of having someone to share my bed every night. Oh no, my hand has already been promised to another. I’ve made peace with never having partners, or at least I thought I had. When my crew is tasked with hiding two clones until they can acquire new identification documents, the last thing I should be thinking about is if they find me as attractive as I find them.
Adam is a grouchy male, always snarling and snapping his teeth like a wild animal. Seth is the softer of the two. He’s gentle, kind, and eager to befriend everyone. Awful experiments were conducted on them on Earth, leaving each with scars. They call to a part of me that wishes to comfort and protect, but they don’t need anyone else. They already have each other, and no amount of me hoping to join them will make it happen. Now, if I can get my fangs to stop thrumming with the need to bite, everything can return to normal.     AmazonKU

And he’s definitely not human. Now we’re facing an alien invasion, and apparently, I’m his destined dragon mate. But he still hasn’t seen what happens when this “gecko” breathes fire.     AmazonKU

The only question that matters is: how are you going to make it right?! Well, you know me, I’m sure as hell not going to forget or forgive, and Harlow would laugh at even the suggestion. So, with every fiber of my being, I say, bring on the bloodshed! Author Note: False Morality is the fifth book in the MM paranormal romance series, The Unwilling Adventures of Harlow & Foxx, a series that is meant to be read in order.      AmazonKU

BASICALLY VAMPIRES (SUPERNATURALS IN TRAINING BOOK TWO) by Harper A Brooks

We would always joke about our friendship lasting forever. Now, it’s not so funny. I used to be best friends with Colt Enigati. When he left town, I thought I’d never see him again. And when I finally do, I end up wishing he had stayed away. Colt’s not the boy I remember; he’s a dhampir, and his mother’s royal vampire blood is starting to take over. He says he’s dangerous, especially to me, but when I find him near death, I risk everything to help him. My reward? A slight graze of his fangs. Now, we’re both basically vampires. Maybe turning into vampires isn’t the worst thing—not with the royal vampire family coming to fight a moon-mad werewolf and start a supernatural war. But if we can’t control our powers and stop the chaos before they do, we’ll lose more than our friendship. We’ll lose each other—forever.     AmazonKU

THE SAPPHIRE DRAGON’S MISSING MATE by Lorelai M Hart

VS Note: MM PNR.

What’s worse than never finding your fated mate? Scenting them at a rest stop, one they left hours earlier. I always thought I’d scent my mate, we’d look lovingly into each other’s eyes and then start our happy ever after. That was not at all how it happened. Instead, I pulled into a rest stop when my truck overheated, caught his faint scent only to discover he’d already left. My dragon insisted I find him, and goddess knows I tried. Tried and failed. My dragon was not impressed. As time passed, my beast went from agitated to angry to uncontrollable. Now, I’m no longer fit to be around others, my dragon willing to burn anyone to ash for any reason. I have two choices: live in isolation, deep in the woods, or wait for someone to put me down. I chose the cabin, unwilling to risk the lives of others all for a chance at happiness. Who knows, maybe Fate will shine down on me, and my mate will randomly show up. A dragon can dream. Spoiler alert: My mate randomly shows up— in his fur and unable to shift back. Now what?     AmazonKU

There’s no escaping the fae warden. After losing my parents and siblings, I only want to grieve in peace and try to rebuild my life. But with creditors breathing down my neck, I fear I’ll find myself homeless during winter in a city occupied by brutal fae soldiers. Just when I think things couldn’t get any worse, Lord Valloc, the new Warden of Trevos, takes a particular interest in me. The handsome fae male won’t stay away, and I can’t deny the strange, overpowering warmth that fills me whenever our eyes meet. But is he glamouring me? Or is the warmth… real? Maybe that kiss we shared after he saved me from angry creditors was a bad idea. Fae males are notoriously possessive of their mates and concubines, and despite my attraction to the mysterious Lord Valloc, I have no wish to become his property. Problem is, the tender moments we keep sharing are starting to win me over, and I fear I might lose my heart to the horned, white-winged fae. Maybe I should run. Maybe I should flee the kingdom before it’s too late. Surely it’s not possible to find happiness with the otherworldly male who helped conquer my people… or is it?

STRAWBERRIES TO SHARE: ARES STORY  (THE GODS MADE ME DO IT BOOK 16) by Lisa Oliver

VS note; MM PNR.

“I am one of the few gods in the pantheon who wasn’t even given a wife in fiction because I was so horrible.” Ares, ancient God of War and Courage, felt as if his life was in limbo. Nothing had changed in eons. His kin still hated him, he was still despised by anyone he interacted with… except for Hermes, but then he was friendly with everyone. But Ares was just marking each day with nothing to look forward to, or to enjoy. Until he got a text from his security company that was monitoring the cameras at his Boston house. What he saw on the feed was intriguing enough to have him thinking a spot of time on earth was a good idea. “If I worried about things like that, I’d be sleeping under a rock and I’d never stick my nose out, even at nighttime in case the moon laughed at me.” Marty, racoon shifter and eternal optimist had found a stash of strawberries. He knew he was taking a risk, he knew there could always be a chance he’d be run off from his little encampment, but those strawberries were too tempting to ignore. He didn’t take them all – Marty believed in always leaving enough for others, but little did he know that those stolen strawberries would change his life in every way. How on earth did I get friend-zoned when we’re supposed to be mates? These two were a mismatch from the start, but the Fates always know what they are doing. Ares had a lot to learn about changing his attitude, and Marty was the perfect person to help with that. But even Marty had his limits. Would Ares drive his mate away like he had everyone else, or was Marty worth changing for? Maybe those strawberries were magical after all.

ROMANCED AND RIDDEN (CONSORTING WITH MONSTERS) by Rowan Merrick

VS Note: MM PNR.

All I wanted was someone who saw me. In bed. Preferably. Some autistic people flirted by default. Not me. My fantasies could make a succubus blush, but put me in front of an actual person? Instant freeze. So far, nobody’d stuck around long enough to find out there was a certified freak at the center of the icicle. Until Mouse. Eight feet tall and a member of the Cairn Riders Motorcycle club, he should’ve been too dangerous to know. So why was he helping me move and letting me play with his three headed Chihuahua? Not a euphemism, by the way. An actual dog. From the fit of his jeans, I was pretty sure Mouse’s…other pet…had only one head. Gods, what I wouldn’t do for some hands-on discovery. It was good he wasn’t telepathic, because while we were playing slippery twister in my mind, he was busy being wonderful. Thoughtful. Respectful. Understanding. Considerate. Protective. A perfect gentleman. The jerk. At this rate, I’d end up in love and still—somehow—a virgin. Unless I seduced him…but I couldn’t do that.      AmazonKU
