Until Luc brings Wulf home for safekeeping, and discovers the real reason for the threats. Protecting Wulf has not only put his and Wulf’s lives at risk, it’s also risked the life of Luc’s teenaged son.

This is beyond protection, now. To the Harbinger, this is personal…

Wulf, an enemies to lovers gay sci-fi romance.

Orlando is a brilliant, introverted mathematician with very little experience of life outside the college walls.

She’s planned a life without love. He’s determined to change that.

When she’s captured and drugged by sex slave traders, she’s made to feel things she’s never felt before. Tomas comes to her rescue, and there’s only one way to soothe her symptoms.

Inked Memories by PG Forte

Every memory leaves its mark. 

All Sophie wants is a tattoo to commemorate her battle with cancer. What she gets is celebrity tattoo artist Declan Ross, the same sexy bad-boy who, once-upon-a-time, used to rock her world.

With his hit television show on hiatus, Declan is back in the Big Easy. A charity event at Midnight Ink, the shop where he got his start, seems like the perfect opportunity to use his celebrity status to publicize a good cause…and just maybe improve his own image in the process. The last thing he’s expecting, or thinks he needs, is a chance meeting with the girl he left behind.

Last time they were together, Declan was the one who was damaged. This time, they’ve both got scars; and those you can’t see are the hardest to cover.

Dragon’s Call (Dragon Heir Book 1) by Ann Gimpel

After her Celtic kin proved too big a bunch of bastards to bother with, Rowan sought solace among witches.

The first book in a magic-laced, fast-paced fantasy trilogy. With dragons.

After the Breaking, not much was left. I assumed it was a case of magic gone bad—until I discovered my goddess mother had broken the world. She didn’t like it that I’d turned my back on the pantheon. My long tenure among witches rubbed salt into the wound.

After a confrontation where Mommy Dearest fessed up—and lacked the decency to bat an eyelash about the widespread destruction she’d caused—I was digesting what to do next when a dragon showed up.

Yes. A dragon.

The beast didn’t talk with me or anything, but it flew overhead wreaking havoc on a goblin horde. Witches are old souls with kind hearts, but they’re not particularly strong magically, so I was grateful for the help.

And suspicious as hell. Why a dragon? Why here and why now? More importantly, why was he—she?—helping me? Part of me didn’t want to know, and another part was certain I’d find out anyway.

Burning Bright by A. Catherine Noon and Rachel Wilder

Curiosity never killed this cat, but love could have deadly consequences.

Sasha Soskoff has two reasons for moving to Chicago: secure a tenured position in veterinary research medicine, and widen his horizons. After a night at the city’s hottest new club, though, a wrong turn down a dark alley narrows his focus to surviving three muggers. As consciousness fades, he catches a glimpse of his rescuer, whose mere appearance is enough to chase the attackers off.

Neal Harrison doesn’t often have to call on his skills as a Marine to maintain control at his club. But with Sasha, he can’t seem to keep his hands to himself. Yet there’s danger in allowing any close relationships, particularly with a naïve young newcomer. The safety of his business depends on the iron-clad secret he and his ex-Marine buddies all hide.

While Neal seems happy to satisfy Sasha’s insatiable curiosity about the erotic scenes played out in the club’s private rooms, Sasha senses his new lover is holding something back.

When the truth claws its way out amid a night of tribal blood and violence, Neal discovers his lover has a secret of his own. And that the forces arrayed against them all could make a mugging look like a walk in the park…

Cocktails & Clubs by Emery Quinn

TREY

I don’t like people, and I don’t do things out of the goodness of my cold heart. But when a blonde bombshell gets roofied in my nightclub, and has no identification, no money, and no place to go, I shock the hell out of myself and offer her a job cleaning my perfectly clean penthouse.
It’s those damn blue eyes and her optimistic attitude that have me doing and saying things completely out of character. I shouldn’t care, but her girl-next-door looks and sunshiney personality will get her eaten alive in the city.

It’s obvious she’s hiding something or running from someone, and it’s not in my nature to get involved or to even care.

But I do.

ELLA

I’m not one to run away from my problems, but in this case, leaving my life behind is the only way I’ll ever be truly free. What I don’t expect is to be swindled and drugged in my first twenty-four hours of freedom.
When I wake up on Trey Baxter’s couch, it doesn’t take long for me to see the cinnamon roll he’s hiding inside his grumpy and growling tattooed exterior. His sentences are short and gruff, and always include some form of the f-bomb. If it weren’t for his kindness, which seems to pain him at times–and those washboard abs and thick biceps–I’d be more offended.

Even as I begin to trust him, I continue to keep my secrets, because I’ve learned the hard way that people aren’t always what they seem.

Me included.

Children of Nanook Boxed Set by Allie Ritch

Looking for sexy shifters? Read the Children of Nanook series in one boxed set.

MATING SEASON: It’s mating season on the arctic planet of Jensen, time for eligible men to winter with a potential spouse. In the past, Koll’s enormous size and gruff disposition have scared off available women. When Shila literally falls into his arms, he hopes maybe this year will be different. Shila belongs to a race of shifters who are able to transform into enormous frost bears. She loves Koll’s big body and sexy growl, and she understands the benefit of having a strong protector. With two male shifters stalking her, she needs Koll to keep her safe. But can he defeat the competition?

IN SEASON: All Gilby wants is to find a female who will spend the mating season with him. Yes, he’s short. And yes, he talks too much and doesn’t often watch what he says. But he has a lot to offer. Rejected by her fellow shifters because she can’t change into a frost bear, Miksa travels to the clawless people’s village to look for a mate. With his sexy scent and good humor, could Gilby be the male for her? Can he help her unlock the magic that will let her shift?

“BREEDING SEASON”: For the Children of Nanook—shifters who can take the form of the deadly frost bear—passions run high during breeding season. Desna has already chosen the mate of her heart, but can Karpok defeat the male who wants to take her from him?

PLEASURE SEASON: Sorena is prepared to spend another arctic winter alone, talking to herself and going mad with lust. Then she comes nose to nose with a giant frost bear that changes into a man right in front of her eyes. A very sexy, naked man. Tuaq is a Child of Nanook—a shifter who changes between man and bear—and one whiff of Sorena’s scent makes him think he might have found his mate. He agrees to spend the winter with her. And when another male tries to take her from him? His claws and fangs aren’t just for show.

BARE SEASON: Idonea has been afraid of frost bears ever since she was attacked by one. She has also been distrustful of men after the one who should have protected her ran away. As a shifter, Massak takes the form of both man and bear, so he should be her worst nightmare. One whiff of her scent, though, and he knows they’re meant to be together. Winter is the mating season on the planet of Jensen—a time when nature strips everything bare and primal instincts rise to the surface. Massak must use this time to prove to Idonea that he’s her perfect mate. He’ll use every skill he has to protect and pleasure her until the stubborn female admits she’s his.

Vampire Territory Box Set Volume 1: Books 1–3 by Allie Ritch

Looking for a gritty paranormal romance with sex, sword fights, and lots of fang action? Read the first three books of Allie Ritch’s Vampire Territory series in one box set:

DRINKING PARTNERS: Between the Human Rebellion trying to kill him with poisonous suicide donors and snobby born vampires bucking his authority, master vampire Lucas Thane has his hands full. He wants Alexandra Gage, the Southern master, as his partner, but he also wants her territory. Alex has no intention of letting Lucas take over. Turned into a vampire against her will, she has had enough control taken from her. She’ll never let Lucas usurp her right to rule, but will she let him steal her heart?

JUST MY TYPE: There’s trouble in vampire territory, and Melody is right in the middle of it. A new arrival from Eastern Europe named Taspar Tong is out to take over her masters’ domains using the army he has at his command. In the meantime, there are two dangerous men in her life: Eryx, the dark-haired warrior who is always watching her, and Wess Gage, a soldier for the Human Rebellion. She has to decide which man is her type—the one who makes her feel human again or the vampire who makes her blood boil.

AFTER HOURS: Jaide has made a living as a soldier since she was turned into a vampire over a century ago. She’s confident in herself as a fighter but less sure of herself when it comes to a certain muscular, blue-eyed guard. Brasen sees the woman behind the warrior and is determined to make Jaide his own. He just has to prove to Jaide that they’re as good together out in the field as they are in bed.

A vampiress and scientist, Natalia joins Wess and his team to develop new weaponry to protect the humans. What Wess doesn’t know is that she’s on the hunt for a traitor. Someone is leaking information to both Taspar and the Human Rebellion. Natalia risks her heart and draws Wess deeper into the vampire world. She needs to keep him safe until the traitor is finally revealed.

ANOTHER ROUND: Can revenge heal betrayal? Or will an unlikely romance give Zander, Maribeth, and Graham the strength they need to take on an adversary who knows their secrets?

The Sentinel Series Trilogy by Laurel Richards

Get all three books of The Sentinel Agency trilogy in one volume:

DESTINY: Undercover operatives have discovered Delfina has the power of foresight, and they want to capture and use her. Accompanied by her emotional support animal, Delfina uses her ability to stay ahead of her pursuers. The one thing she doesn’t foresee is Rave. The Imperian male claims she’s his genetic match, but he has so many aliases that she’s not sure if he’s the good guy or the bad. Attraction ignites as they are thrown together by mysterious government agents, a wildlife trafficking syndicate, and a covert agency that recruits people with unique talents. Secrets, passion, and intrigue collide in this sci-fi romance.

TALENT: Andromeda is still trying to get used to her prosthetic arm and leg after a terrorist bombing left her injured. Through her work with the Sentinel Agency, she’s determined to stop the bad guys and keep innocent people from getting hurt.

Luka Stiles used to be the top supermodel in town. When the advertisers drop him and his film career fizzles, he’s left drowning his sorrows at the bar. He coasts along on his former fame, which happens to score him an invitation to an exclusive charity auction.

Andromeda must team up with Luka to get into that auction and hack the computers. She believes the foundation hosting it may be funneling money to terrorists, as well as trafficking in protected wildlife.

Together, Andromeda and Luka will face the rich and famous, high-tech security, evil science experiments, and government agents who aren’t at all what they appear.

STRATEGY: For years, Ryland Ward has known Dr. Casey Haven is his soulmate, but he hasn’t been able to claim her. His own cousin abandoned her and their son, leaving her with a broken heart. Ryland has waited for her to heal so he can prove he’s much more than a friend.

Casey has always been able to depend on Ryland. As a trans woman with a psychic ability to heal, she isn’t accepted by everyone. When her medical knowledge is needed for an undercover mission with Ryland, she doesn’t hesitate. She’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bad guys from deploying a biogenetic weapon that could kill everyone she loves.

With a dangerous operative plotting an attack and a black ops organization stalking the members of the Sentinel Agency, the stakes have never been higher. These star-crossed lovers will have to come together to save the universe.

Their immediate, intense bonding proves she’s his genmate, the one female his genetics have chosen for him—the one he’d believed lost forever. With Lala at his side, he resumes his search for the others.

But Lala is not the ’Topian he thinks she is. She’s a shapeshifting Xeno, a disgraced former general in the consortium military wrongly convicted of helping ’Topian insurgents escape annihilation.

Alien Sex Ed (Volumes 1–8 + Bonus Stories) by Allie Ritch

Xindra and Quinn and all their Alien Sex Ed students have come together in this box set, offering eight erotic sci-fi romance novellas and two short stories in one place.

ALIEN SEX 101: XINDRA & QUINN — Quinn and Xindra learn from their near-disastrous wedding night and design a course to teach other interracial couples about the sexual practices and customs on their planet. More than just an anatomy lesson, this course is hands-on and definitely steamy.

ALIEN SEX 102: MERA & TRETT — Xindra’s friend Mera is the first to benefit when she meets and falls for Sex Ed student Trett. As an Ibration, Trett doesn’t thrust during sex. His penis vibrates.

ALIEN SEX 103: KATRA & KRUX — Katra’Ruma needs a perfectly controlled lover to hit her two T-spots and trigger her orgasm. Unfortunately, the only man she’s found who can do that is an overbearing Brachoi male named Krux. The four-armed man drives her crazy, and they do nothing but snipe at each other. Or is that foreplay?

ALIEN SEX 104: WHITT & SPRI — Used to casual sex, playboy Whitt discovers he’s in over his head when he falls for Spri, a Litting woman who considers lovemaking a sacred rite as binding as marriage. He should be running the other way. Instead, he sees how far he can push things before taking the final plunge.

ALIEN SEX 105: BENNI & VARION — Corporate spy by day and party boy by night, Varion thinks he has it all when he hooks up with fellow student Benni. As a Flexian, Benni is a natural contortionist, and she loves the way his race can shift their features and skin tone to look like other people. It’s all passion and good times until Varion starts to wonder if Benni only wants him because he can look like different men. And when Benni discovers Varion’s corporate espionage may destroy her job, she questions his motives in pursuing her.

ALIEN SEX 106: PIXIE & ZEO — A shy young virgin, Pixie is shocked when Zeo, the fierce Nimanian student in her class, takes an interest in her. Zeo wants to mate with her in the tradition of his people, but Nimanian sex can be fierce. Can he be gentle enough for the woman he loves? Does Pixie have enough strength to match him?

ALIEN SEX 107: HUV & LEXY — Huv has always liked the ladies, but he’s ready for more than one-night stands. After meeting Lexy, he finds it very easy to fall for her in her female form, but that’s only half the equation. Lexy is Cedecian. Every month, she changes gender. Huv suffers a sexual identity crisis as he struggles to accept that the woman he loves may also be the man he loves.

ALIEN SEX 108: GLYNN & DEINA — After months of dating, Deina expects Glynn to pop the question. Instead he asks her to have his baby…or at least try. As a Semhym, Glynn must find a woman with just the right chemistry to help him spill his seed. He thinks Deina may be the one, but he wants to be sure. In order to win her over, he’ll have to gamble for the highest stakes of all: sex, love, and the rest of their lives.

“ALIEN SEX THERAPY” — The gender-morphing Cedecians are truly bisexual, but Cai has never made love as a woman. Maybe a hot new relationship with her Brachoi neighbor is the perfect sex therapy.

“ALIEN SEX LIFE” — Four-armed Valene is madly in love with Apax, but making a mixed-race relationship work is tough. Can these lovers negotiate a life together, or are their worlds too different?

2022 Reading List

I thought I’d take a moment to share a list of the books I’ve read so far in 2022. I haven’t had the time to read as much as I’d like, of course, but the year (and my TBR pile) isn’t over yet. A lot of these titles caught my eye when I had authors guest blog with me, especially in my multi-author posts.

Guest Blog: Fearless by Brynley Blake

Author Brynley Blake is here to share her erotic contemporary romance Fearless. Welcome, Brynley!
