What's on the Reading Radar? #TRB

September was there and gone in the blink of the eye! I think that was the fastest month this year.

I've read nothing new this week and really haven't looked at my TBR, so for this week's radar, I thought I'd go with a theme. I chose Aliens/Space since there were a bunch in my folder. I love space romances and try a lot of different books. I haven't read any of these but they are ones that at sometime, their blurb piqued my interest and I saved the cover in my radar file for later.

Series: (Imperial Space Regency Book 3)
Author(s): Kai Butler
Length: 

Genre: Romance / Space Regency / Gay

Notes: Releases Oct 18th. Full disclosure. I haven't read any of the books in this series but it seems that I keep collecting them... 'cause Regency Sci-fi!!

Blurb: A widowed Count…

Everyone in society knows newly titled Count Yun Rit killed his husband. After being trapped into a marriage by parents who wanted a peerage in their family, what was to stop him from murdering his elderly spouse and stealing the title? Only Yun didn’t kill his husband and proving his innocence would expose some devastating truths about his heart and his past.

A decorated Captain…

Captain Ado Pastor is a highly ranked member of the Secrets Division in Her Imperial Majesty’s Navy. When he’s tasked with finding evidence that Yun Rit murdered his husband for a title, he takes a break from capturing pirates and breaking up smuggling rings to investigate the claims against his one-time fiancé.

An old flame rekindled…

Now Ado must choose between his duty to the Empire and his duty to his heart. If making the choice involves heading to the outer rim, engaging with criminals, and tracking down the real killer, then he’s willing to do that for the man he once loved.

The Inconvenient Count is a 90k MM space regency novel with an HEA.


Series: (Aliens Among Us Book 3)
Author(s): Tiffany Roberts
Length: 296 pages

Genre: Romance / Alien Sci-Fi / Holiday / 

Notes: There are a couple of Tiffany Roberts Alien Sci-Fis here. I read her off and on and have enjoyed her stories.

Blurb: A retired alien bodyguard. A luscious human female he craves. He’ll do whatever it takes to make her his by Christmas.

Gabriela Romero is a single mother struggling to make ends meet. With Christmas fast approaching, she’s lost work, she’s late on rent, and the zeroes in her bank account are on the wrong side of the decimal point. Fortunately, she has a couple bright spots in her life—her amazing daughter, Ana, and her brief interactions with her gorgeous neighbor from across the street, Mason Lee.

He’s big, strong, kind, and he’s great with Ana. Plus, he looks at Gabriela like he wants to devour her. How could a man like him be real? When he finally asks her out—and an unexpected job comes her way—it seems Gabriela’s luck is finally turning around.

Until the universe decides to give her a reality check and disaster strikes.

In Gabriela’s most desperate moments, Mason rushes to the rescue. But her savior isn’t what he seems. He’s a seven-foot-tall alien with horns and glowing violet eyes. Did she run into the arms of an otherworldly demon or will this unusual being save Christmas—and claim Gabriela’s heart in the process?


Title: Gabriel
Series: Clan Companions
Author(s): Tracy St. John
Length: 242 pages

Genre: Romance / Poly / Alien Sci-Fi / Gay

Notes: So, I'm hesitant with this one. I've read a few books in St. John's Clan of Kaldor series and there was a lot of dubious consent. These guys have a bite that takes away a person inhibitions, and there was on book with on page rape of the FMC before she met the aliens. There were (and still aren't) trigger warnings on that book. I'm not going to assume that all her books lie along that vein, but it also makes me hesitate to read more by her. Especially if she still isn't putting warnings on books with triggers. 

Blurb: He never believed in love at first sight, especially love that was forbidden. Then he met a Kalquorian clan.

After fleeing Earth’s Mercy Colony six years before, Gabriel Rossi and his sister Iliana have carved out a decent life on a remote Adraf space station. Each avoids contact with other humans as much as possible. Gabriel’s life is adequate, but he yearns to be free to love as he was born to.

Clan Baknu has been tasked with convincing Iliana to return to Kalquor with them to join a clan. But when Baknu, Takat, and Kisk meet her stunning older brother, they’re eager to claim an Earther companion of their own.

Though Gabriel falls for the three men on sight, his priority is Iliana, who’s less than enthralled about joining a Kalquorian clan. Worse still, a sadistic slave trader is determined to claim Gabriel for purposes too terrible to imagine.

Clan Baknu pulls out all the stops to convince the Rossis that they can find love and happiness among the Kalquorians. They dare death to keep Gabriel out of the grasp of a murderous crime lord, who won’t stop until the Earther is his. Yet their greatest challenge is showing Gabriel dreams can come true…if he’ll accept their love.


Series: (G-Force Federation Book 3)
Author(s): Giovanna Reaves
Length: 315 pages

Genre: Romance / Alien Sci-Fi / Mpreg / Gay / 

Notes: 

Blurb: "You’re more alpha than omega."

Goliath has always put the Federation and his family and crew first. He has to find out who killed his father and why it’s the only long-term goal he has for his future. When a chance encounter brings him face to face with what could be a future he never imagined or desired, Goliath must decide if revenge outweighs the possibility of destiny.

Camara defected from the G-Force Federation and his clan for refusing to agree with their rules. He seeks out a new path for himself and his small crew of bounty hunters, capturing criminals all over the galaxy. They live freely by their own laws, not caring about finding a mate. However, one encounter with an admiral in the Gargoyle Federation changes everything.

Will Camara and Goliath resist the pull to each other? Or will they let their misgivings about mating hold them back from experiencing unconditional love? Because there’s no hierarchy with love.

Goliath’s Mate is part of the multi-author G-Force Federation MPREG, sci-fi series. Each book in the series can be read in any order or as a standalone. Join the G-Force Federation gargoyle warriors as they embark on their mission to protect and serve the Federation and possibly find their fated mates. This book is for a mature audience only.

It had been fifteen years since I was dropped off with nothing but the clothes on my back and a pity bag filled with just enough to get by.

Series: (Aliens Among Us Book 1)
Author(s): Tiffany Roberts
Length: 420 pages

Genre: Romance / Alien / BBW / 

Notes: 

Blurb: An undercover alien. A curvy human female he’s desperate to claim. One month to make her his.

Tabitha Mathews has never had much luck with men. Her past relationships only left her heart aching and her self-esteem beaten down. But who needs them? She’s doing just fine on her own. She has a booming home business, an adorable, mischievous dog, and she just became a first-time homeowner…right next door to the hottest man she’s ever seen.

Oh, did she mention that he happens to be an alien? An alien with dreamy, glowing eyes, wicked fangs and claws, and a tail.

But she’s not supposed to know that, and only finds out after her wonderfully considerate dog leaves a big, odorous gift in her neighbor’s back yard—which promptly results in her being kidnapped.

Now she’s tied to the alien’s bed, because of course he’s come to Earth in search of a mate—and he wants Tabitha to fill that role. More specifically, he wants her to carry his baby.

Saying he’s moving fast seems like a bit of an understatement. Is Tabitha willing to accept her alien abductor as a mate? Is she ready to be a mother?

And he’s generous enough to give her four whole weeks to decide.

It’s not like it’s the biggest decision of her life or anything…right?

Author(s): Lorelei M. Hart, Colbie Dunbar
Length: 160 pages

Genre: Romance / Alien Sci-Fi / Fated Mates / Mpreg / Gay

Notes: 

Blurb: Sometimes, when you can’t find your mate, it’s because you haven’t looked far enough.

Alpha Prince Kagin longs to find his rupling, his mate. He searches his planet, Thulnara, to no avail, but he can feel him out there. As a last resort, he breaks the laws of his kind and finds Idda, a soothsayer. She sees his mate, but there is a problem: His mate is on Earth, a primitive planet once visited by his grandparents. Not that Kagin plans to let that stop him.

Veterinarian omega Hanson loves his job, the animals he cares for, and his community at the ocean’s shore. It’s everything he’s ever dreamed of until his dreams change. Night after night, Hanson falls asleep to visions of himself holding a beautiful baby—his baby. Only the baby is blue, and when he wakes up each morning, he mourns the loss.

Until one night, a woman appears and tells him not to worry, he is coming, and for the first time since he glimpsed the image of his child, he feels hope.

Hope he almost runs over with his car. Oops.

The Alien Prince’s Omega is the first book in the Close Encounters of the Mating Kind series by the popular co-writing duo of Lorelei M Hart and Colbie Dunbar. It is a sweet with knotty heat alien romance set in the world of Dates of Our Lives. The Alien Prince’s Omega features an alien prince and future King of Thulnara who is longing for his true mate, a human vet who thinks the strangest beings out there are shifters, an intergalactic meeting of the in-laws, an extra-long appendage that allows for double the fun, true fated mates, and an adorable baby.

Series: The Fractured Worlds, 1
Author(s): Adam Burch
Length: 446 pages

Genre: Sci-Fi / LGBTQ+

Notes: 

Blurb: In Adam Burch’s thrilling series debut, a young man must choose between violence and peace in a distant world divided between those who thrive in endless sunlight and those who survive in eternal darkness.

The isolated planet of Tao is a house divided: the peaceful Daysiders live in harmony while the pale Nightsiders pursue power and racial purity through the violent ritual of the Combat.

Edmon Leontes, the gentle son of a ruthless warrior noble and a proud Daysider, embodies Tao’s split nature. The product of diametrically opposed races, Edmon hopes to live a quiet life pursuing the music of his mother’s people, but his Nightsider father cruelly forces him to continue in his bloody footsteps to ensure his legacy.

Edmon’s defiance will cost him everything…and spark a revolution that will shake the foundations of Tao. His choice—to embrace the light or surrender to the darkness—will shape his own fate and that of his divided world.

Thank you for stopping by and reading!!
