\"Recommended<\/p>\n

There’s something about the tight story structure of a great novella that snags my interest even though short stories often aren’t my cup of tea. Which is a long way of saying — two-thirds of my recommendations this time around are novellas. I hope you like the format as much as I do!<\/p>\n

Romancing the Werewolf<\/a>, How to Marry a Werewolf<\/a>, and Romancing the Inventor<\/a> by Gail Carriger are all delightful, but the first one I listed is probably my favorite. These are all set in her steampunk world.<\/p>\n

Here There Be Monsters<\/a> by Meljean Brook is a really fun short set in the Iron Seas world.<\/p>\n

Beast<\/a> by Christine Pope is a very hooky sci-fi romance (and\u00a0free<\/strong> on Amazon at the time of this post).<\/p>\n

Okay, enough of novellas. On to longer works!<\/p>\n

\"Sweep<\/p>\n

Sweep of the Blade is the fourth book in Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper Chronicles. If you haven’t read the others, you’ll probably want to start at the beginning<\/a> (although this book follows a side character and may be understandable anyway). If you have<\/em> read the others, though, now’s the time to read the newest installment free on their website<\/a> before they take it down to polish for publication. Spoiler: it is a delight!<\/p>\n

\"Polaris<\/a><\/p>\n

Polaris Rising<\/a> by Jessie Mihalik is quite possibly my favorite book of the last six months. It slid right into that sweet spot between space opera and science-fiction romance where you get a happily ever after at the end of a lot of fun adventure. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

\"Site<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, if my recent release<\/a> sucked you into archaeological mysteries, here’s a recommendation (although without any fantasy or werewolves, alas!). Site Unseen<\/a> by Dana Cameron sucked me in…and is currently free with Kindle Unlimited. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
