SWORN BY STARLIGHT (WARRIOR KINGS OF ALIOTH) by Sara Ivy Hill

Rose – Caged for years by my lizardlike abductors, I’ve given up hope of escape… until a huge alien warrior buys me and carries me off into the grasslands of his planet! I have no idea what he wants with me and I’m too sick to fight, so I brace myself for the worst. But his hands are gentle, and our connection is electric. As I regain my strength under his care, and he patiently teaches me his language, I realize…I’m much more to him than a possession. I’m his fated mate. Oljin – If I don’t find my fated mate before my younger brother finds his, I’ll lose my chance at the crown. I search everywhere and find her—broken and trapped in a brutal galactic circus. Even weakened, she’s stunning and fierce, my beautiful queen. But though she’s perfect for me, my brother and the corrupt priests who support him will never accept her. She’s not from our planet. She can’t even speak our language. And she’s too weak to stand beside me and rule. So I hide her away while she heals and wonder… can we overcome the deadly plots against us? Or will my people’s traditions tear us apart?     AmazonKU

MY OKTOBERFEST ALIEN (ALLIANCE HOLIDAY BOOK SIX) by  Alma Nilsson

Fox – I have seven weeks to meet and marry a human woman. If I don’t, I will lose my position as Commander of the Alliance Force. Since I took command, my attempts to meet eligible women have been disastrous. Lev, our resident anthropologist, has suggested I attend Oktoberfest in Munich. His rationale is that I like beer and the comradery of dancing and singing and will be surrounded by women who also enjoy the same activities. I always advise my officers to mingle with humans at their festivals. The better we understand humanity and are emotionally connected to the people of Earth, the better we can defend their planet. Perhaps taking my own advice will help me find a wife before it’s too late.     AmazonKU

INTERSTELLAR OFFICE ROMANCE (COSMIC BOND CHRONICLES BOOK NINE) by G R Stellar

Snape knows exactly what he’s doing, and I’m not sure how long I can resist the pull between us. But there’s more to this than just fiery attraction. Something about him makes me feel like I’ve met my match, and I can’t decide if I want to fight him… or give in completely.     AmazonKU

THE ORC KING’S BRIDE (FATED MATES FOR ALIEN ORC MONSTERS BOOK TWO) by Lena Grey

After escaping from alien slavers, I was attacked by a group of fierce orcs. Naturally, I fought back. I didn’t mean to kill one of them, but that doesn’t matter to the impossibly attractive orc king who locked me up in his palatial guest suite. King Dexari is huge and muscled, with a voice like rolling thunder and a man-bun that’s totally hot. But the punishment choices he offers me? Not good. I need to escape, again, and Zephyr is happy to help. He’s the miniature dragon who showed up outside my window and befriended me. Getting out of the palace is almost too easy, but Dexari is hot on my trail. And, when he catches me, I realize I’m in trouble. Because there’s a side to the handsome orc king that calls to me on a deeper level. A side that’s honorable, intelligent, protective. If I’m not careful, I might surrender my newfound freedom to him—and lose my heart in the process.     AmazonKU

JARL: GALACTIC CYBORG HEAT SERIES by Jessie Rose Case

Her community didn’t believe in advanced technology for the sake of it. It had caused the death of Old Earth. Old Earth over polluted and over worked, it had been dying. Taking much of the population with it. The seas rising, land lost, her ancestors had sort a new world, a new chance of life as part of Earth Corps colonisation program. And it had cost them everything. Their credits, their DNA and servitude to Earth Corp for 100 years of mining mineral rights. In exchange for a contract of exchanged goods every 20 years to support the new colony while they mined for them. [SNIP] With their history visits from outside were not encouraged. The Cyborgs arriving caused a stir. The first off-worlders they’d ever seen. Her people unsure how to deal with it. When the request came to meet, the elders agreed to listen. That didn’t mean, they’d agree to do anything…..(more blurb on ebook seller’s page)   AmazonKU

CORAL: ALIEN HUNTING GROUND BOOK TWO (DELIVERANCE) by Kyla Breene

Kira – Even if you’re light years from Earth being followed around by a giant lizard with so much arrogance, he occasionally chokes on it. Not to death, or anything. Nothing as useful as that. I will admit, he’s handy in a fight. Not to mention a whole lot of fun to tease. I just wish he’d stop calling me out for walking around yowling like a cat in heat. Except replace yowling for cursing, then I think you’ve got the picture. Regardless of what my raging libido thinks, we are not going there. Nope. No way. Drasuk – She is the most confounding being I have ever met. With explosive anger, tirades for any occasion, and insults that make little sense. Despite all my efforts to teach her how to say something clearly, she still utters complete insanity. It’s oddly endearing, attractive, even, but drakonids simply don’t mate outside our species. It isn’t done. Of course, I’m not thinking about that. Preposterous. I just know we are better when we are together. Working towards a common goal. Ours is simple. Every hunter must die.   AmazonKU

I have until this mission is over to prove to Jovi and Alik that while what we have might be hot and heavy, it’s also meant to last.

Megan Garrison, a doctor at the Sectors Amarcae 7 colony, goes to sleep one night as usual only to wake up in her nightgown, strapped to a table in an alien lab, destined to be the subject of terrifying experiments. Granted a brief reprieve, Megan and the other kidnapped humans are released in the middle of a forestlike enclosure on this unknown world and told to survive as best they can for now.

Her only hope is Mateer, the genetically engineered alien warrior imprisoned with the humans.

Turns out everyone from her colony has been kidnapped by the Khagrish, a ruthless race of alien scientists. Working for enemies of the human-led Sectors, the Khagrish have created the Badari to be super soldiers.

Mateer, a tough Badari enforcer, now a rebel, is captured while infiltrating the lab to help his pack bring it down.

Tortured by the enemy, he’s offered one chance at survival – convince Megan to become his mate and assist the Khagrish with further experiments.

As the situation at the lab grows worse, Megan struggles against her deep attraction to Mateer, while she does her best to shield the other humans from the terrible Khagrish experiments. For his part, Mateer knows she really is his fated mate and despairs of being able to keep her safe, as the rebel attack is delayed and she fights the truth of their bond.

Will they be able to work together to defeat Khagrish plans and preserve human lives until the promised rescue happens? And what of their future together – will Megan accept Mateer as her true mate, or walk away if she’s freed?

With the capabilities of a witch and the strength of a vampire, they pose a threat to the witch city of Dawnhaven. At the same time, one of the old coven leaders of Sanlow is launching an attack on Amate out of revenge. With the help of friends new and old, he must save both cities before too many lives are lost. The odds are overwhelmingly against him, but one thing is certain: Bas is the only one who can stop the war. Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives.

How I snagged a Halloween date with a real demon: Step 1: Mixed up a batch of spiked punch using a recipe I found in my grandmother’s non-magical cookbook. Well, most likely non-magical. How’s a girl to tell for sure? Step 2: Watched my sister over-indulge on said punch and barf into our grandmother’s definitely magical cauldron. Step 3: When the demon appears, ignore him. Or maybe mistake him for a guy who is very committed to his cosplay. And to his abdominal workouts. Step 4: Wait for the kidnapping. Step 5: Avoid the kitsune who shows up to try and save me, even if he is just as hot as the demon. Step 6: See what kinds of sexy hijinks follow! And stop looking so worried, I’m sure the demon isn’t saying he actually devours humans. It was probably a euphemism. Or an exaggeration. Wasn’t it?     AmazonKU

THE CRESCENT MOON TEAROOM: A NOVEL by Stacy Sivinski

Ever since the untimely death of their parents, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley have made a business of threading together the stories that rest in the swirls of ginger, cloves, and cardamon that lie at the bottom of their customers’ cups.

That is, until the Council of Witches comes calling with news that the city Diviner has lost her powers, and the sisters suddenly find themselves being pulled in different directions. As Anne’s magic begins to develop beyond that of her sisters’, Beatrix’s writing attracts the attention of a publisher, and Violet is enchanted by the song of the circus—and perhaps a mischievous trapeze artist threatening to sweep her off her feet—it seems a family curse that threatens to separate the sisters is taking effect. With dwindling time to rewrite their future and help three other witches challenge their own destinies, the Quigleys set out to bargain with Fate. But in focusing so closely on saving each other, will they lose sight of themselves?

GRIM REAPER’S GUIDE TO CATCHING A KILLER (A SCYTHE MYSTERY BOOK ONE) by Maxie Dara

Murder is not her department. It’s not like it used to be. Modern-day grim reapers wear business casual, not black cloaks, and they don’t carry scythes, they work for S. C. Y. T. H. E. (Secure Collection, Yielding, and Transportation of Human Essences), where the Department of Natural Causes is the least exciting gig. And that’s how Kathy Valence likes it: boring and predictable.

Then, she goes to pick up a new client and finds his soul is missing. When she finally tracks down Conner Ortiz, he angrily insists he was murdered, and he refuses to move on until Kathy finds out why and by whom. Kathy has only forty-five days to solve the mystery before the boy’s soul is doomed to roam the earth as a ghost forever. To do that she’ll have to call on the help of her retired mentor, her almost ex-husband—and, inconveniently, Conner himself. This is the wildest case of her career . . . and one wrong move could cost Kathy her job, not to mention her life.

THE HUSHED by K R Blair

Eerie Ashwood may look like a regular college student—she has a job at a local diner and attends classes at the community college—but she’s not. She’s a Hushed, a living secret made of flesh and blood, spawned by the death of a human who had something to hide. While the Hushed blend in among humans, they are haunted by an overwhelming urge to spill their secret to those whom it would hurt the most. But once a Hushed tells their secret, they drop dead. Unlike most Hushed, Eerie and her brother, Fabian, can’t remember their secrets. All they know is they’re connected to the infamous Ironbark Prison fire, but everything else is a blur of smoke and fear. Everything changes when Eerie meets Logan Winspeare, the hell-raising son of one of the victims of the fire, who is searching for answers about the night his mother died. Eerie knows she should stay far away from both Logan and the mysteries surrounding that night, but she can’t escape her curiosity—or her growing attraction to Logan. But the harder Eerie falls for Logan, the closer she comes to her secret—and her death. And as she uncovers more about her past, Eerie discovers her secret is tied into something even bigger—a tangled history that leads back thousands of years to the very first of her kind, and a covert organization of ancient Hushed who pledged vengeance on the human world.

DARKSIDE: A NOVEL by Michael Mammay

VS Note: Not a romance but a military SF release of note. I’ve been a big fan of this author for years and had this book pre-ordered.

Colonel Butler has paid his dues and just wants to enjoy his retirement on a remote planet. But the galaxy has had other plans.  He has been roped into searching for a politician’s missing son and an industry magnate’s missing daughter. He has been kidnapped, violated numerous laws, and caused the destruction of colonial facilities. He’s famous—or infamous, depending on who you ask—praised and reviled in equal measure across the galaxy for his exploits. And he is determined to never let the government drag him into another investigation. But when a runaway twelve-year-old girl whose father has gone missing asks him for help, well…it’s a lot harder to say no. The girl’s father, Jorge Ramiro, was supposed to have been on Taug, a moon orbiting the gas giant Ridia 5, working on a dig with a famous archaeologist. But now there’s no sign of him and no record of him being there. Mining operations on the moon are run by two different consortiums, Caliber and Omicron—both of which have tried to kill Butler in the past. Butler doesn’t believe in coincidence. Landing on Taug with his right-hand man Mac, computer genius Ganos, and an elite security squad, Butler soon finds that they’ve charged back into the crosshairs—because Ramiro is not the only who has disappeared, and the perpetual darkside of this moon is hiding more than the truth about a missing archeologist.

Maeve – I was sent to space on a crucial mission for the Resistance on alien-occupied Earth. But it went wrong the moment I arrived on the space station. If I hadn’t been rescued by a gigantic alien, I would have been enslaved by bandits and sold at an auction. But I’m not sure this is much better. The guy that rescued me is Arelion. He is an eight feet tall hyper-muscular alien with shimmering blue skin and wings so colorful he looks most of all like a peacock. He can’t pass a mirror without preening and checking himself out. He doesn’t seem to like me much, though. But I will use him and his resources for all they’re worth. I cannot fail my mission to find my missing sister. And if I have to drag this crazy narcissist with me, then fine. He can grab all the attention, while I do what must be done for Earth’s freedom. Arelion – 
Maeve is not the worst human I’ve met. She’s too small to be any kind of danger. But her species is well known for being sneaky and untrustworthy, and I want nothing to do with them. And yet I couldn’t help saving her from the slave traders and gangsters that wanted to capture her. She looks far too small and soft to be alone in these places. And much too attractive. Someone had to protect her from herself. Now I have to get rid of her somehow. I have more important things to do than babysit a female who seems completely oblivious of the dangers of the galaxy. The future of my world depends on me succeeding at my mission, and I can’t drop my cover or let anyone distract me. Not even if her curvy body makes my head spin.     AmazonKU

Raised in the glittering court alongside the princesses, it’s her duty to be punished for their misdeeds. Treated as part of the royal family but also as the lowliest servant, Tamsyn fits nowhere. Her only friend is Stig, Captain of the Guard…though sometimes she thinks he wants more than friendship. When Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands, descends on her home, Tamsyn’s world becomes even more dangerous. To save the pampered princesses from a fate worse than death, she is commanded to don a veil and marry the brutal warrior. She agrees to the deception even though it means leaving Stig, and the only life she’s ever known, behind. The wedding night begins with unexpected passion—and ends in near violence when her trickery is exposed. Rather than start a war, Fell accepts Tamsyn as his bride…but can he accept the dark secrets she harbors—secrets buried so deep even she doesn’t know they exist? For Tamsyn is more than a royal whipping girl, more than the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy. And when those secrets emerge, they will ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone.  Magic is not dead…it is only sleeping. And it will take one ordinary girl with an extraordinary destiny to awaken it.

Accompanied by a patchwork ghost, a fretful monster, and a nameless animal who prowls the shadows, her search for the truth of her past opens the door to a revolutionary future—for the words she carries will reshape the world.

To make matters worse, someone from his past appears and forces him to relive the worst moments of his painful past before he could barely begin to process his loss. Why Wilder “Cav” Cavanaugh attended Warden Jaymes’ funeral, he couldn’t logically answer. He’d been compelled to come, memories of a single heat spent with Wynter urging him there.

He’d thought his omega had felt the same, but he’d been dead wrong. Losing Wynter nearly broke him, yet there he was at that funeral, ready to pick up the pieces and beg for the scraps of his omega’s love. When he finds his carbon copy at his omega’s side—a young man who called another father for over three decades—the treachery magnifies the simmering anger he’s held on to since being forsaken all those years before. Wynter is forced to face Cav and the son they made that heat—and expose deep family secrets that threaten to destroy the Jaymes clan.   AmazonKU
