Ilona Andrews has announced they will have a new series starting in 2012 called Alphas. It seems this is a result of writing to get their mind off of some stress while writing their Kate Daniel books. The snippets are dark and a little disturbing and wonderful!! I can’t wait to read more about this series. Go to their blog to read more.
New covers that have popped up recently:
After reading Lead Me On, I am now reading everything Victoria Dahl writes. Go HERE for an excerpt. Coming August 2010.
Sebastian, whom we meet in What Happens in London, now has his chance to be the leading man in Ten Things I Love About You coming out May 25!
Gena Showalter released two new covers:
For weeks, the immortal warrior Aeron has sensed an invisible female presence. An angel – demon-assassin – has been sent to kill him. Or has she? Olivia claims she fell from the heavens, giving up immortality because she couldn’t bear to harm him. But trusting – and falling for – Olivia will endanger them all.
Forced to his knees in agony whenever he speaks the truth, Gideon can recognize any lie—until he captures Scarlet, a demon-possessed immortal who claims to be his long-lost wife. He doesn’t remember the beautiful female, much less wedding — or bedding — her. But he wants to . . . almost as much as he wants her.
But Scarlet is keeper of Nightmares, too dangerous to roam free, and a future with her could mean ultimate ruin. Especially as Gideon’s enemies draw closer . . . and the truth threatens to destroy all he’s come to love . . .
Kate from Babbling About Books and More is having a fabulous contest where you can come up with your own “Nixism” – something Nix would say (from Kresley Cole’s Immortal’s After Dark series). The winner received an autographed copy of both Deep Kiss of Winter and Dark Needs at Night Edge. Head over and think of something Nixish!
Molly Harper, who writes the fab “Nice Girls” series has a new book coming out under pen name, Aline Harris. Check it out at her website HERE. The book is titled, And One Last Thing coming out July 27th. Here is a little info:
It’s the story of Lacey, who finds out her husband is cheating, when a drunk florist delivers his mistress’ flowers to her door. She responds by sending a mass e-mail to his friends, family, and business clients describing his affair in amazing Technicolor detail. A newly minted media punchline and the defendant in her husband’s libel lawsuit, Lacey’s exiled from her little Southern town to a lakeside cabin in the middle of nowhere. She meets her new neighbor, a grumpy crime writer with an unfortunate buttock-related nickname. Random nudity and romantic hijinks ensue.
What is the buttock-related nickname? Now I must find out! :)
Hi Mandi :)
Thank you very much for the update post & pictures.
All the best,

I want those Gena books NOW. I need my LOTU fix. The covers are gorgeous. I'm uber excited that Ilona Andrews is working on a new series and I love that you described it as dark and a little disturbing.
Yay thanks for the bookupdate, I am so behind with everything! Those Gena Showalter covers… wow!
RK – :)
Fallon – I'm excited for Ilona Andrews' new series too!! I love their work.
Marissa – Yeah – Showalter always has good covers!
I'm just drooling looking at Gena's covers. I'm addicted to her books! I can't wait to read them. I'm getting hyper now thinking about it. Must go now.
I've never read her…AHHHHH! :(
Thanks for posting.
Great news about Ilona and Molly. Great covers from GS as usual.
I seriously have book cover lust for the Dahl and Quinn books!
I see more and more historical romance's get chicas on the cover…hhhmmmm as a mancandy lover I'm not over enthusiastic ROFL Now Gena Showalter, me likes very much :) And you know I have to check out the new series of Ilona Andrews! Thanks for the update Mandi ;)
I am so excited about Ilona Andrews Alpha series. I've been reading the snippets for a while.
Gina Showalter's covers are drool worthy. Yum.
Molly Harper's new book sounds hilarious-can't wait to read it.
I want to know what the butt related name is too….
I'm not digging Quinn's new cover. The model looks annoyed on it. But love Victoria's and Gena's are always the best in the smex.
Aw thanks Smexy for linking my Nix contest. :)
Thanks for gathering all this info. It reminds me that I still need to try Victoria Dahl. Would you recommend her historicals or contemps? Or both? LOL
And I need to read the Molly Harper book on my tbr pile. I've heard her Nice Girls series is very funny.
I will read anything by Molly Harper, she makes me giggle like Twihard fan.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Victoria Dahl!!! I cant wait for this one to come out! Did you ever read the 1st and 2nd book in the series? And dont you just love her book covers?!?
Great update :D
That Dahl book looks nice
Leslie – I have never read Dahl's historicals but I have talked to a few who have and have enjoyed them. Lead Me On, her latest contemp is awesome.
ooooh i didn't know victoria dahl had another new release coming up! i am also glomming her backlist and have surprisingly really enjoyed that she writes in so many different sub genres. after reading 3 so far they have been consistently good! now i just need to get ahold of her wild west erotica one…
Thanks for the heads up, Mandi! These are all writers that I still have to read, but whose books are on my ereader already. Except for Julia Quinn's, I'm not sure if that are my type of books.
About GS's covers is enough said, I just sigh…
I'm really looking forward to Sebastian's story in 'Ten Things'. He cracked me up in 'what happens in London'. Not so sure about the cover art, but I already have a crush on the hero :)
I'm an Ilona Andrews convert, so the news of a new series is great – and the excerpt is….WOW! So good!
