I have to say that I haven't been doing a lot of reading-reading while on vacation. It's mostly been audiobooks. I set up part of this Radar up before I decided I needed some time off, so it doesn't include some of the books that were on my weekly reading list. I'm a mood reader and when I got ill, what I wanted to read changed from what I had planned to read. :D

Then Rallis is approached by Amun, a soldier in the Jevite legion, who is seeking an opponent in the game kha. Though Rallis would prefer not to be anywhere near him, he reluctantly agrees—and discovers Amun to be friendly, kind, and intelligent. As they continue to play khas, the two grow steadily closer, and Rallis finds his allegiances torn.
Then his cousin is arrested for resistance, and Rallis's world completely falls apart.

Blurb: BRINGER OF DEATH…
Orishok is the last of his kind — a valo shaped by the Creators to embody death. He’s stood vigil over his people for centuries, watching them fade away, one by one succumbing to the entropic energies they hold inside. With his slightest touch unwillingly bringing death to all living things, he has remained isolated in his people’s city, his heart as empty as the buildings around him…until a pale, slight female arrives and shakes the foundations of his world.
GIVER OF LIFE…
Quinn Dalton lost everything when she was convicted of murder — her sister, her niece, her budding career — but it isn’t until she’s transferred to an interstellar penitentiary that she realizes her very life is no longer her own. Her existence aboard the Concord is a nightmare, broken only when the station is torn through a wormhole and crash lands on an alien world. After waking up alone and bloodied, but somehow unharmed, she seeks shelter in an abandoned city — where she discovers an ancient, wondrous mystery. Can she survive alongside a being whose touch means death?

Genre: Romance / Sci-Fi / Gay /
Notes: Honestly, I'm still on the fence about this one since it mentions one MC is ace and at the end it says erotic romance.
Blurb: He came to save mankind. Falling in love wasn't part of the equation.
Inside every human on this planet is a genetic time bomb that’s already started ticking. A gene planted inside of us seven million years ago by a being known as the Caretaker has mutated causing many of today’s common disorders, first in the brain and then in other less complex organs. Next it will spread to the reproductive system, leading to the eventual annihilation of mankind.
The only one who can save us is the Caretaker’s son.
From a race of near-immortal asexuals, the Caretaker’s son must adopt human form to fulfil his mission and save our race. Having studied humans from afar all of his life, the Caretaker’s son is excited at the prospect of his brief visit to Earth, but once in human form he is subjected to the full gamut of human emotions—something he is ill-equipped to cope with—and that’s when things start to unravel.
He isn’t meant to fall in love.
Especially not with a human male.
Blake Denby doesn’t believe in extra-terrestrials. He believes in hot sex and pizza, followed by more hot sex. When an intriguing stranger turns up at the hotel where he works as receptionist, all he can think about is sharing hot sex, pizza and more hot sex with the gorgeous boy with the piercing blue eyes.
They say be careful what you wish for, but never has it been more true. The Caretaker’s son can only maintain his transient human form for a limited time and then he must return home. As his and Blake’s lives become inexorably entangled, their growing attraction to each other can surely only lead to heartbreak and could ultimately affect the survival of the entire human race.
Can love find a way against such odds?
GOING ROGUE is an erotic gay romance of approx. 40,000 words.
