It’s another addition of What I’m Reading. Because, you know, I read a lot and sharing book recs is FUN!
First off, for paranormal romance fans, I HIGHLY recommend Ann Aguirre’s Ars Numina series. Book 1, The Leopard King is ammmmazing. Two shapeshifters with plenty of baggage figuring things out on the cusp of peace talks with the various other tribes in the land. There’s danger and heartache and plenty of sexy times. The world building rocked and all the characters shine. Every single one. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I can’t wait for book 2. SERIOUSLY.
On the sexy sci-fi front, I picked up Celia Kyle’s (writing as Erin Tate) Not So Little Green Man and I’m really, really hoping we get to see some of the characters again. A certain someone needs to redeem himself after his actions and I’m ALL IN to watch it happen. Bonus: Hunky alien leader who gets all het up when he lays eyes on his intended. I seriously adore when strong men go non-verbal over their ladies. Throw in a strong mating drive and a determined human woman and I’m smitten.
Also in the sexy sci-fi vein, Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians continues to blow me away. I’m almost caught up with the series (one book left!) and I’m both sad and excited about that. I mean, WHAT WILL I READ ONCE I KNOCK OUT THAT LAST BOOK?!?!
Anyway. Sexy blue aliens who want nothing more than to lavish their special lady friends with lovin’? Yasssss. Barbarian’s Taming brings some big changes (not to mention the potential for big danger) to the alien tribe and their human honeys. I am CRAZY invested in this series and can’t wait to see what direction Ruby Dixon takes things in next.
Bonus: I have the Taming the Vampire anthology on tap. 30 stories by 30 authors. I’m super excited to revisit several of the worlds I’ve come to know and love.
Here’s to good reading in November!
