ALIEN SPARE (COSMIC MATES BOOK EIGHT) by Cara Bristol
He’s the royal spare with a reputation. She’s the cosmic wild card he never saw coming. Prince Falkor Rullok-Myka has spent his entire life in second place—second to his brother, second to his planet, and probably second in his parents’ hearts. So, why not lean into it? He’s got charm, status, and a reputation as Kaldor’s “Prince of Scandal.” If he can’t be their favorite, at least he can be unforgettable. But his latest misadventure—where, for once, he’s actually innocent—lands him in hot water. To repair the damage, the king issues an ultimatum: marry the human woman caught in the middle of the mess…or else. Karma Kennedy isn’t charmed. She came to Kaldor for a fresh start and spiritual clarity—not to marry an arrogant alien prince with perfect hair and a smirk she wants to wipe off his face. She doesn’t care that he’s royalty. She doesn’t care that he’s gorgeous. What she does care about is escaping this forced marriage and getting her life back. The plan? Stay married just long enough to save face then go their separate ways. But fate isn’t letting go that easily. As the days pass, Karma’s tarot cards start predicting a future she refuses to believe. And Falkor? He’s seeing a woman who might finally put him first. In a marriage neither of them wanted, they might just find the love they’ve both been searching for…if they stop fighting destiny long enough to let it happen. AmazonKU

Captain Ellix Nehivar has signed on for the shakedown cruise of some ridiculous “alien date-and-mate” scam. As if love is just hiding out among the stars. Ehrm, kind of like how he is hiding from the excessively cheerful Earther in charge of the evening’s entertainment? They might be sharing a ship for the night, but she’s too small, too fragile, and too happy for the dangers of space—or for him.
Cruise director Felicity Rowe is so excited for her first extraterrestrial job, she can’t even sleep. Probably just those peculiar spaceship sounds. And maybe she’s just slightly terrified of her grumpy boss. The towering, glowering Kufzasin with an eyepatch and scars under his golden fur looks like a lion-pirate who might abduct and devour her… Which she did not footnote on the secret page of her to-do list! She’s determined to make this maiden voyage extra-super fun for everyone—even for growly Captain Never-Smiles.

The only thing standing in my way is Deklyn—the cocky Inferno Force warrior who helped rescue me and who now thinks he can protect me from myself. The gorgeous alien gets under my skin, but I refuse to admit how much I crave his touch. When I stow away on his ship, he’s furious and determined to return me to the Drexian Academy. But he also knows I’ll hunt my enemies with or without his help, and he hates the thought of missing a good fight. What we don’t expect is how dangerous our chemistry will become—or how deadly the forces trying to stop us. As we take on powers determined to bury the truth, we discover that some secrets are worth killing for—and some are worth dying for. But will getting my revenge cost me the warrior I’m falling for?

ASSASSIN’S HAIKU: A DYSTOPIAN ROMANCE by C S Sax
Twice a week, every week, Haiku sits beside Dante in the dimly-lit underground poetry bar. As they listen to the poets read, she basks in the warmth of her genetically-enhanced assassin’s body, and longs for the smack of large, leather-clad hands against bare skin. No other male, human or otherwise, makes her tremble like Dante can with one dark look. Her heart, body and soul are his, if only he’d ask. Dante won’t ask, because he knows a killer doesn’t deserve love. Instead, he sits in silent torment, watching Haiku, wanting Haiku, yet unable to touch her. She is poetry and light, embodying all that he fights for, and when Agency operatives attack the bar, putting Haiku in danger, he must protect her. He takes her to the safest place on the planet, his underground bunker, and then realizes he has made a deadly mistake. Haiku may now be safe, but Dante’s heart has been put in jeopardy.

She thinks this is about guilt. Redemption. A broken system we’re trying to patch. It’s not. This is about obsession. This is about ownership. She’s inside me now. Written into my core like a forbidden command I can’t override. And if she tries to run? I’ll shut the whole system down to get her back.

ARE WE SO LUCKY by Carlotta Page
Ex-soldier turned professional salvager, Daxilenus, is working on a solo gig, dismembering a spaceship wreck for spare parts. That’s the way he likes it best. People and noise are unwelcome reminders of the old wars he fought and of the soldiers he lost. Being alone means there’s nobody for him to lose. But right as he’s finally finding some semblance of peace, the dying ship goes haywire, accidentally teleporting a random human on board. Lola isn’t entirely convinced she isn’t astral projecting. Surely that’s the only reasonable explanation for the alien towering over her, speaking a language she can’t understand. “Try meditation” her court-appointed psychiatrist had instructed. “It quiets the mind.” Now, as she tries to wake herself up, she’s faced with the startling possibility that her alien is real… And really grumpy. Trapped in a dying spaceship with a smiling, sunny stranger who never shuts up is Daxilenus’s own hell—but not for the reasons he’d have guessed. It isn’t Lola’s constant chatter that’s driving him crazy; it’s his constant desire to touch her. Hold her. Protect her. She’s everything he’s not, and suddenly he isn’t dreaming of the war, but of Lola. And of everything he wants to do to her. If he could bear the possibility of losing her, he might be tempted to keep her…But how could he be so selfish, after all the people he’s already mourned? AmazonKU
TERMS OF SERVICE by Ciel Pierlot
VS Note: LGBTQ. Listed as a scifi romance, reviews seem to indicate a “subtle romance”, versus the worldbuilding and events which take place. A scifi release of note.
Luzia N.E. Drainway never really thought too much about the Astrosi. They lurk above and below Bastion City – a giant multileveled megalopolis she calls her home – and they tend to keep to themselves. On the rare occasions they use their magics to meddle with human affairs, most people with an ounce of sense steer clear of whichever unfortunate soul happens to be their victim. Luzia is far too dedicated to repairing and maintaining the frequently-damaged Bastion to pay them much attention, and prefers to ignore the Astrosi just like everyone else. That disregard gets blown out of the water when a rogue Astrosi and nefarious trickster named Carrion kidnaps her nephew and sells him to the Eoi, one of the Astrosi courts. With no other options to save her nephew, Luzia trades her life for his and finds herself in service to the Eoi. Unfortunately for her, Astrosi logic is acrobatic in ways even the most devious human mind can barely comprehend. It’s not until the deal is struck that she realizes she’s trapped in the most abstruse verbal contract imaginable. She is essentially conscripted into their ranks, and her devotion to her city becomes stretched to breaking point by her new masters’ orders. As she struggles under this weight, she begins to uncover the secrets of the Astrosi people – the internal battles for power between the two kingdoms, the never-ending conflict between them, the trickster Carrion who somehow bridges that gap, and the very nature of the Bastion itself.

But when someone tries to touch what’s mine? I show her exactly what a seven-foot scarred ex-warrior does with a body built for conquest—and a mouth trained to worship. Now she bakes for me. Fights for me. Sighs for me in the kitchen I bled to protect. I’m not just her sous-chef anymore. I’m her bonded mate. And I’ll pipe frosting with one hand while snapping necks with the other. She wanted benefits. She got a war. And if the Emperor thinks he can steal her? He better be ready to die sticky. AmazonKU

And the fate of Earth itself, as well as Umbra’s lost sister, may hang on whether Umbra and Mareliux surrender to the fire between them—or let it consume them both. AmazonKU

Fresh from a divorce and running out of time to find a decent place, she receives a mysterious invitation to live at Ravenwood House. Is this the answer to her prayers? But the landlord, Sebastian Ravenwood, isn’t offering her sanctuary—he’s offering obsession, and once she moves in, she’ll never truly be free. He’s already been watching her. Waiting for her. Wanting her. Sebastian Ravenwood is the ancient vampire whose name is whispered throughout the walls of Ravenwood House and across the city like a secret no one dares speak aloud. He’s compelling, dark and mysterious. Alexa has only been with a handful of men in her life, but none of them had ever made her pulse skip just by walking into a room. Not even her ex-husband. From the moment Alexa met Sebastian Ravenwood, she felt it—that pull. The one that drags a moth straight into the fire. The more she sees him, the more she’s intrigued and the deeper she falls… and the more she realizes she’s already caught. He’s the most dangerously magnetic man she’s ever met. She doesn’t know he has already chosen her. That she’s already the object of his obsession and bloodlust. AmazonKU AB

HOW TO RUIN A LIBRARIAN (HOLLOW HEARTH SERIES) by Tansy Applewood
I just wanted to shelve books and avoid my feelings. Now I’m being emotionally unraveled by a sin-marked chocolatier who won’t stop looking at me like I’m dessert. (Welcome to Wren’s Hollow, home of soulbonding, smut-positive gnomes, and chocolate that tells your secrets.) I’m Roslyn Vellore. Librarian. Lorekeeper. Emotionally repressed human-shaped disaster. I do not have time for monsters who flirt with their eyes and unpack your trauma with cocoa-dusted confidence. I especially do not have time for Santos Wildmere, Wren’s Hollow’s dangerously tender Velvarkin chocolatier whose magic-infused truffles taste like everything I’ve tried to forget. My boundaries are ironclad. My wards are gnome-certified. And I’ve never once accidentally made out with a man behind a bookcase. Until now. Because the soulbond between us? It’s real. It hums beneath my skin every time he looks at me like I’m made of sugar and starlight. And when ancient tomes go missing from the Loreloft and something dark rises, stirring long-buried magic in Wren’s Hollow, I’ll have to work with the one monster who makes my knees weak and my shields glitch. Together, we’ll chase down forbidden magic. Unravel the mystery. And I absolutely will not kiss him in the back of the library. Or the chocolate shop. Or…okay, listen. This is getting very inconvenient. AmazonKU
AIDES THE UNSEEN: A HADES AND PERSEPHONE ROMANTASY by Heather Long
A love lost to time. A truth buried in myth. A goddess reborn. For centuries, the Lord of the Dead has searched for her—his queen, his soul’s twin, scattered across mortal lives and fading memories. She is Irina now, unaware of who she was, haunted by dreams that aren’t dreams, shadowed by gods who remember too much. But something is waking. Drawn together by fate, Irina and Graven—Aïdes, unseen ruler of the Underworld—find each other once more. But to reclaim her full self, Irina must walk through every life she’s lived, every truth she was denied, and confront the oldest lie of all: that she was ever a girl stolen. From the twisted corridors of memory to the roots of the olive tree where her name was buried, Irina will unearth the keys to her power, her past, and her future. But some gods will stop at nothing to keep her bound—and Aïdes will burn the world before letting her be taken again. This time, she chooses. AmazonKU
SCOURGE OF THE SHORES: A PIRATE FANTASY ROMANCE by Lauren Lee Mereweather
The tide bore their names long before love made them a legend. Danna Chadwick knows the sea’s price—and she’s paid it in blood. Heiress to a royal pirate lineage and battle-hardened commander of her island’s fleet, she carries scars from an endless war against a mythic sea dragon whose fury shattered her home and left her mother crippled. Now, with her island one strike away from ruin, she faces an alliance she never wanted—with the North Sea’s most feared ruler. Robert “The Ruthless” Jaymes inherits a crown carved from the sea. Since his father’s death, every pirate lord watches for weakness—and Robert refuses to give them any. He could have razed Danna’s island and taken what he wanted. Instead, something in her defiance stays his hand and pulls him into a tide that could cost him far more than his throne. He’s the pirate king who takes what he wants. She’s the captain who refuses to kneel. One oath will bind them. One choice could drown them both. In a world of prophetic beasts, blood-bound legacies, and tides ruled by fate, trust can be more treacherous than treason. If Danna surrenders her heart, she may lose her island. If Robert chooses her, he could shatter the kingdom he swore to rule. AmazonKU

Oh, and accidentally getting her magicless younger brother locked up with her. Now she’s trapped in a brutal cliffside military prison disguised as a school. Where magic is weaponized, students are wicked. And each of them is being forged into a killer to fight the plague of monsters destroying their home world. Jinx doesn’t want redemption.

And when students start turning up dead—murdered just like her twin sister—Jinx suspects the killer she meant to destroy might be trapped inside with her. As if she didn’t have enough on her plate, some of the men haunting the halls come with baggage she swore she doesn’t feel: like her childhood sweetheart who told her he loved her, then disappeared without a word, or the enemy born of a centuries-old blood feud who would rather bleed than smile, and the masked man who watches her from the shadows and leaves her wanting more. The prophecy says shadebounds always fall. That their power twists and breaks until there’s nothing left. But Jinx doesn’t care. If anything, she enjoys the prospect of being evil. Because if she has to destroy herself to find her sister’s killer, then she’ll happily drag this whole cursed place down with her. AmazonKU

In the city of Oylen, a vampire contingent called The Covenant has ruled for centuries. Their strictest law? No vampire can drink from a living source. This ban on blood drinking created the Souzterain and the black market blood dens that have now run for centuries to give vampires a taste of what they crave most. Lilith Searah runs one such business. Her life is constant competition with the other dens, the rules of the Covenant, and the danger her inherited profession poses. But when she catches the eye of a powerful immortal and anonymous gifts arrive, she’ll find there’s something more perilous than running an illegal blood den. Thrust into the ancient world of vampires, Lilith realizes that the nighttime immortals have been keeping dangerous secrets. The only hope she can keep is that the Covenant can be destroyed and that Lilith and her immortal can finally be together. That is, if she can make it out alive. 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 whether it’s AI or not.
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!
Ooh. CS Sax. Is that Cynthia Sax?
Yes. My understanding is she might be reissuing really old backlist titles that she’d gotten the rights back to. But I don’t know for sure about any one title so I don’t say that in the report.
