It’s Wednesday, November 26th, 2025 – the day before Thanksgiving in the U.S., and also National Cake Day! We usually save cake for special occasions, but today is the perfect excuse to indulge. After all, why not celebrate with a slice (or two)? And while you’re enjoying that cake, why not treat yourself to a brand-new book as well?
More than 25 fresh titles are hitting shelves today across genres – romance, faith-based fiction, LitRPG, and more. We’re spotlighting a cowboy romance from Annee Jones, a heartwarming gay holiday romance by Jessica E. Subject, and an adventurous LitRPG from David North. Let’s dive into what’s new!
Special Delivery Cowboy by Annee Jones (A Cowboy for Christmas Series)
If Christmas cowboys are your thing, the “A Cowboy for Christmas” multi‑author series is a holiday treat, with thirteen writers bringing festive romance to the ranch. Annee Jones’ entry, Special Delivery Cowboy, is the tenth book in the lineup – a funny yet steamy rom‑com featuring mistaken identity, forced proximity, a lovable Golden Retriever pup, and of course one determined cowboy ready to deliver more than just holiday cheer.
Tinsley escapes to a quiet Montana cabin after a breakup, only to mistake a stranded cowboy named Turner – and the puppy he’s delivering – for a Christmas stripper. Snowed in together, they find that a simple mix-up may lead to an unexpected holiday spark.
Beared at Christmas by Jessica E. Subject (Double-Booked for the Holidays Series)
Beared at Christmas by USA Today bestselling author Jessica E. Subject is the tenth book in the “Double-Booked for the Holidays” series, a shared-world collection of standalones. In this holiday romance, a human seeking escape and a widowed alpha polar bear shifter cross paths thanks to a booking mix-up, one bed, and a little help from Fate. With fated mates, true love, winter fun, and cozy fireplace snuggles, Beared at Christmas is the perfect seasonal read.
Brody and Ulrik each escape to a winter lodge to avoid holiday pressure, only to be placed in the same cabin – with one bed and nowhere else to go. As they share the space, a quiet pull grows between them, leaving them to wonder if their mix-up is actually the start of something meant to be.
Wild Era 3 by David North (Wild Era Series)
Wild Era 3 is a LitRPG progression epic by David North and the third installment in the “Wild Era” series, set 5,000 years after his “Guardian of Aster Fall” saga. In this universe, humans wield immense power and diverse magics, and the series follows Kelin as he begins from nothing to make it toward the peak of the Wild Era. It is strongly recommended that you start from book one of this series.
Kelin Wildfire begins a new life with one straightforward goal: to rise higher than he ever did before, even if the path is long and filled with danger. As he travels across Celadon and into the desert empire of Sarathia, he must face old powers, undead threats, and the challenges that stand between him and his return to strength.
