HIS ASSET (THE UNNATURALS BOOK ONE) by Mel Teshco
I was born in a lab. Created, not conceived. A number, not a name. Until Adam calls me Bella. Adam—the brilliant scientist who created me—saved me from the sterile hell of the lab by bringing me to his home. He makes me feel almost human. Almost desired. But I’m still a freak of nature with wings I’ve never used and powers I barely understand. Powers I’ve been secretly testing, preparing for the day I’d be strong enough to escape. When I finally find the courage to run, I crash-land in the worst part of the city—where predators hunt and the weak don’t survive. When a gang of thugs corners me, ready to do unspeakable things, my powers explode out of me with a force that surprises even me. But it’s Reuben who truly saves me. Chief to everyone else in the underground fighting world, he’s everything Adam isn’t, raw, dangerous, and brutally real. He doesn’t see a lab experiment when he looks at me. He sees a woman worth protecting. But Adam isn’t giving up without a fight. He created me. He owns me. And he’ll destroy anyone who tries to take me away. Now I’m caught between two worlds: the sterile perfection of science and the savage beauty of the streets. Between the man who made me and the man who makes me feel alive. One represents my past. The other, my future. But choosing between them might cost me everything—including my life. Amazon Apple Books Kobo
STARDUSTED (IT’S DEFINITELY NOT ALIENS BOOK ONE) by Elle DeYesso

But everything changes the night she crashes into a UFO. Suddenly there’s a glowing artifact, a robot that isn’t from around here, unexplained lights in the sky…and Raven’s starting to think maybe it is time to put the extra in extraterrestrial. Marked with strange symbols and haunted by memories no one else has, she doesn’t know what to believe. The only person with answers may be the one guy she’s no longer sure she can trust: Sky. He’s hiding something. Something big. Too bad nobody gave her the study guide for cosmic chemistry, galaxy-sized problems, or…you know, what to do when your crush might not be from this planet. It’s definitely not aliens. …But what if it is? Amazon

I clutch a bottle cap; its sharp metal edges ground me in the present.

You’d smile and kiss my forehead and say you love my nonsense questions. But you’re not here. They want me to forget you ever were.

VORN AND ANNA (COSMIC CROWS MC BOOK FIVE) by Michelle Dups
VORN – As treasurer of CCMC, it was up to me to ensure we always had enough credits to keep us comfortable. Out of all my brothers, I was the worrier. I always had been. That worry consumed my life when my best friend died. Now, with my brothers finding their mates, that concern has only increased tenfold. They weren’t thinking straight. They didn’t see the pitfalls. But I did. And then the worst happened—one of them was taken. We rallied to rescue one of our own, only to find her already saved. And what a rescuer she was. I’d never expected to meet my mate. I’d certainly never expected her to be a sister of our allies. Allies we’d known for years. How had I missed her? She stilled the chaos of my mind and eased my worry. ANNA – I’d grown up on the other side of the planet from the Cosmic Crow MC. My family was the Revolute Vultures MC, and I lived in the town of Revolt. A desolate place where all the rejected were sent. When my sister asked me to rescue the human who’d saved her and her young, I couldn’t say no. We owed her. I never expected that rescue mission to lead me to my mate. Not only was his club an ally of ours, but I already knew his brothers. We’d been allies for years. How had I missed him? But I knew the truth the moment I felt the first tingle on my neck. He was my soul mate. He was my home. AmazonKU

Now I’m trapped on a storm-tossed world of jagged islands and coral towers, forced to run from a hunter who owns the sea itself. Aylth is water and shadow, scaled strength and grasping tentacles. He waits in the surf, follows through the reefs, coils around me whenever I think I’m safe. He doesn’t chase like the others—he pulls me under. Holds me tight. Forces me to admit how badly I want the capture I swore I’d resist. Every wave drags me closer. Every touch leaves me shaking. Every moment in his grasp, my body learns to crave the monster I was meant to fear. I tell myself I’ll never surrender. But the tide doesn’t ask permission. And neither does desire. AmazonKU
MAPS OF DESTINY (RETURN TO DESTRA BOOK ONE) by Ella Blake

Psychic overload will eventually kill me unless Rykar, a brooding Destran pilot with a haunted past, accepts his role as her symbiont and the title of Destran lord. I shouldn’t be noticing how his skin shifts color when I catch him staring, or how his rare smiles make my pulse race, because I have much bigger problems. My employer as sent a strike team to claim me and the Sola I woke up as their property. They claim I signed away my rights when I took this job. They plan to enslave the ancient being and me. Rykar: I keep to myself because the last time I was responsible for people I loved, they died. So when a Sola chooses me as her lord and floods a human geologist with psychic overload that only I can contain, my first instinct is to refuse. Except Maya Chen is stubborn, brilliant, and determined to save this Sola even if it destroys her. And despite my best efforts to stay detached, I can’t stop watching the way her eyes light up when she solves a problem, or how she argues with me like I’m worth arguing with, or the way she fits perfectly in my arms. But accepting lordship means accepting responsibility for a living ship and those who would call her their home. It means trusting myself not to fail again. And now enemy forces are closing in, claiming Maya and the Sola as property to be seized, and I have to choose: retreat into the safety of isolation, or accept a role I swore I’d never take again: Leader. Protector. Destran Lord. AmazonKU

Getting caught in a grumpy spider’s web was a total accident. Becoming obsessed with his masterful binding technique? Yeah, that’s all on me.

ELANIE AND THE EMPATH by Jess K Hardy
I wasn’t built for emotions. I was built for efficiency. As a bionic, part organic and part AI, I’ve spent my life working aboard my interstellar pleasure cruise in rational, dispassionate contentment. But when I finally install my long-overdue hormone upgrade, everything changes. Fast. Suddenly, I’m distressed, overwhelmed, and alarmed daily by my changing body. I need help. And even though Dr. Semson, the ship’s empathic physician, is handsome, I suppose, with his blue skin and smooth voice and swoopy silver hair, he’s the last person I want to see about my puberty issues. Since empaths can’t read bionic emotions, we scare them, and they tend to avoid us. But he’s all I’ve got. Sem is kinder than I thought he’d be. And I know it’s inappropriate, maybe even wrong, the way every brush of his hands during my medical exams sets my skin on fire. But when he tries to explain the changes I’m going through, using calmly stated words like aroused and sensation, even when he draws me diagrams, I only find myself more…confused. While my feelings spiral out of control, something sinister creeps through the Known Universe. Bionics are disappearing. Leaving their posts in the dead of night. No warning. No trace. And when I hear a voice, deep and coaxing and calling me to join him, I have no choice but to steal an escape pod and run. And for some bewildering reason, Sem follows. We crash together on a frozen, uncharted planet, with only one cave to protect us. The bitter cold bites, but the heat between us builds. Every night by the fire, every accidental touch, pulls us closer to something we’ve both been denying. But the voice is waiting for me, and when it returns, it leads us to a seductive hidden community that seems like paradise. But this place and its leader aren’t what they seem. And soon we’re fighting for our lives again. For our future. Because this fire between us? It’s more than desire. It’s more than lust. It’s the one thing that might save us both. AmazonKU
RIZZED UP BY MY ALIEN NEIGHBOR by Tara Star and Athena Storm
VS note: OK I had to look up ‘rizz’: romantic appeal or charm, ability to seduce. I liked the sample so I one clicked.
She thinks I’m just the weird neighbor with the pink apron and freakishly good lawn. She doesn’t know I’ve fought wars across galaxies — and I’d burn her planet down if anyone touched her or the kid. I crash-landed on Earth expecting to die. Instead, I found a messy-haired single mom with a broken coffee machine, a daughter who stares like I’m made of mystery, and a house that smells like burnt waffles and hope. Now I’m mowing her lawn, fixing her plumbing, helping with glitter-covered science projects — and trying not to blow my cover when her ex threatens to take the kid. Because I’m not just some harmless suburban giant. I’m a seven-foot weapon in disguise. And if the court system fails her? I won’t. She thinks I’m rizzed up. She has no idea I’ve already imprinted. She didn’t just move into my head. She got me to build her a goddamn she-shed. AmazonKU

And when he morphs back into his human form, he’s…drawn to me. My coven wants to be accepted by wizardkind. It makes sense―us witches are the marginalized community of the magical world. Forming a bond with the Jade Lion might be our ticket to more respect. But I’m a mediocre witch, and he’s a living legend trapped out of time.

Dark forces lurk around every corner. If I can’t convince Kai to join us, it could spell catastrophe. What’s a witch boy to do? AmazonKU

HEXUAL HEALING: MAGIC AND MAYHEM UNIVERSE (ONE HOT, HEXY MESS BOOK ONE) by Stephanie Berchiolly
Chaos witch Tansy Tingle has a razor-crafted spell that turns attraction into catastrophe: “You’ll never find love unless the one meant for you dies.” Running on fumes (and sarcasm), she detours into Assjacket, Virginia with her familiar—a very British, deeply unimpressed snail named Gary. That’s when she bumps into a flannel-wearing loner with far too many instincts and not enough fear. The kind of man who looks like a solution and feels like a dare. Keeping him at arm’s length should be simple…except her unruly magic amps up around him, the curse punishes joy, and this town collects strays with a vengeance. Their survival plan? No kissing, no bonding, absolutely no catching feelings. Easy…until it isn’t. Amazon Apple Books Kobo

Eighteen-year-old witch Jessica Knox has three undeniable talents: overthinking everything, ruining love spells, and finding new and exciting ways to humiliate herself in front of Nate, the boy she’s been crushing on forever. Her latest magical “masterpiece” was supposed to win his affection. Instead, it yanked his evil mirror-double into the mortal world — a dangerously charming troublemaker named Etan — and trapped the real Nate behind the glass. Now Etan is loose, wreaking magical havoc, stealing secrets, and flashing a smile that should come with a hazard label. Nate’s running out of time, and if Jessica can’t break the spell before the deadline, he’ll be stuck in the Mirror Realm forever. Armed with enchanted lip gloss, her best friend Bianca’s questionable wisdom, and a talking raven with a grudge, Jessica’s ready(ish) to save the day. But between hall passes, high school drama, and resisting the wrong Nate’s infuriatingly perfect grin, she’s discovering that disaster spells are a lot easier to cast than undo.

RESEARCH WITH RIVALS (FAE BY THE BAY BOOK TWO) by Jillian Witt
Half-fae Evelyn Knowles is hiding a big secret: her shifter form. Abandoned by her fae father, she has no one to teach her about the change. She’s a little concerned when she determines the animal she turns into is—well–mythical. As one of the library’s most sought-after researchers, Evelyn knows how to find answers. Before she can, her boss nominates her to investigate a centuries-old magical bond. Whoever solves this problem will be promoted to the top research position in the fae court. The position is a desire she’d never voiced—a dream she thought out of reach. It’s also one she’s not guaranteed to win when her rival, Ambrose Yarrow, is competing, too. When the study of magical bonds leads to accidentally forming one with Ambrose, Evelyn is even more determined to untangle the mysteries of this magic. Spending any time with Ambrose is too much. He finds her research methods reckless, is a stickler for the rules, and is the library’s golden boy on fae history. What’s worse, every conclusion she has drawn about him may be wrong. With the promotion she wants hanging in the balance and an increasingly unmanageable attraction to Ambrose, Evelyn must solve this puzzle. Even if wanting things has never gone well for Evelyn, and wanting Ambrose might be the riskiest experiment of all. 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!
