The Social Justice Fantasy of Rae Lori's CITY OF SIMPLICITY


Sometimes a bite-sized sci-fi romance can deliver big taste in terms of themes and/or social commentary. Rae Lori's CITY OF SIMPLICITY accomplished that for me, and I'd like to share a bit about why.

I'll endeavor to avoid specific spoilers, which means how I word parts of this post will reflect that. To catch you up to speed, here are the cover and blurb:

It's a lot less gimmicky than the name implies. The HEA factor is unknown at the moment, but this series has strong appeal for sci-fi romance readers.

Make your August extra fun with these new sci-fi romances!

New Releases

LUMINOUS - A.E. Ash

Entry number 3333. Vanguard Station Reckoning. All systems stable. Nothing new to report.

It’s been nine years since the war started; nine years since she has received acknowledgement or contact from anyone. Marooned alone on proto-colony planet Hestia, aging xeno-geologist Jyothi Agarwal still continues her routine transmissions in the hopes that someone, somewhere, is listening.

Then one day, out of nowhere, a brilliant light illuminates Hestia and something falls from the sky.

In the west, he wakes up in pain and alone. There is light everywhere. A new sense of weight. A broken body. Words. Knowing. And he realizes that against all odds, he is inexplicably alive.
On a planet far removed from everything, the last human and a fallen star find companionship in each other–and perhaps something more. Something beautiful, shining, lasting. Something luminous.
