E.B. Roshan | 24 comments Hello Emma!

Unfortunately I don’t have physical copies of my books available right now, but I do have a middle grade graphic novel which is both relatively short and mostly images (thus easier on the eyes, I assume.)

Here’s the Goodreads link:

Corina Bair | 24 comments Hi Emma!
I'd be thrilled if you'd consider reading and reviewing my book - Poinsettia Lane. It's a small town, slow burn romance with found family and all the feel good vibes - a perfect read as a palette cleanser or when you're in the mood for something light and easy.

Poinsettia Lane

Here's the ARC sign-up link:
https://forms.gle/ASJ3bPkVHGdadF1P8

Thank you so much for your consideration!

~~~

Blurb:
What do accidental stalking, panic attacks, and landscaping have in common?

Everly’s life is exactly as it should be, until her estranged sister comes back to town the same day Asim Jabbar knocks on her door, nearly knocking Everly off her slipper-clad feet and her anxious heart right out of her chest.

After the flirtiest plant delivery of her life, Everly tries to find her Hot Delivery Guy without becoming a stalker, then digs herself into a hole when she enlists his help re-landscaping her yard. An already immaculate yard that does not need any new plants.

Asim agrees, on one condition: that Everly get her perfectly manicured hands dirty and join him. Despite Asim turning her life upside down, Everly can't stop thinking about the muscular, tattooed plant dad.

But when Asim’s world collapses and past scars threaten their future, Everly doesn’t realize all that Asim has sacrificed for her until it’s too late.

Matthew Thompson (dominogalaxy) | 2 comments Hi Emma,

I have ARC for an adult, cosy sci-fi novel, available for review. The book contains profanity and mild sexual references.

Cyan-Amber is a deserter from Spectra, a planet on the brink of destruction. As an alien scout on Earth in 1995, she inhabits the body of Jasmine Price—a unique, artsy, crafty musician living in Camden, London. While reporting back to her home planet’s intelligence agency, Cyan Intel, she uncovers the strange, wonderful, and wicked aspects of what it means to be human.

Charlie Cooper, a mid-twenties rockstar wannabe, is stuck selling records instead of making them. Trapped by a dead-end job with an irritable boss, his only escape lies in Camden Town’s annual Battle of the Bands. But with his rebellious, gaming-obsessed sister, and a bandmate that’s oddly interested in intergalactic wars, Charlie’s fight for the stage is anything but ordinary.

As Earth faces a looming alien threat, both Cyan-Amber and Charlie are about to discover just how intertwined their fates truly are. The battle for Camden—and maybe the world—is about to begin.

Title: Body Jacker Jaz
Author: Matthew Thompson
Genre: Adult, Sci-Fi, Cosy
Series: Book 1
Length: 43,000 words (197 pages)
Format: Epub, mobi, PDF
Release Date: 30 November 2024

Websites:

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Booksirens: https://booksirens.com/book/SHTL98H/B...

Thanks for your consideration,
Matthew

John Fuller (john_t_fuller) | 11 comments Hi Emma. Nice to meet you!

Unfortunately I can only provide ebooks too, but if you're interested in my new one out yesterday I'd be happy to send over an ebook of either or both versions.

The West Coast of America, 1995. Chant has just arrived in town from England, running from something he’s not sharing. When he lands an unusual job at a local tattoo parlour, The Blue Comet, it seems like perhaps he’s finally found a place to call home, people to call family, and maybe even love with the artist with the big dark eyes and black curls. But everyone has their secrets, and Chant is about to learn just what those secrets are, and how they are connected to what lurks in the catacombs beneath the sunny seaside city of Santa Ines.

Fresh Ink is an urban horror-fantasy m/m romance. Available in two editions – high spice (explicit) and mild spice (fade to black) – this is a gay love story that is guaranteed to sink its teeth into you!

George Veck | 31 comments Hi Emma,

My newest book 91-Day Sanction is a crime fiction tale set in Gwynedd, North Wales that is 67k words long. Should it pique your interest, I have it available in epub, kpf or pdf form. You're welcome to either DM me or email for a copy:
georgeveckauthor@hotmail.com

Best wishes!

Blurb
Sadistic work coach James Burgess has finally bagged his dream job after three years of trying, two hundred miles from home in rural Gwynedd, north Wales. But with promotion firmly in mind, cutting the jobcentre's wage bill soon becomes his sport, at any cost, leaving a trail of chaos and hunger in his wake.

As house prices soar and job prospects dwindle, many of James' ''casualties of war'' wind up at Morywelon homeless hostel, where the waiting list is insatiable. Managing such a place takes gall, and Denise Groves' ten-year stint certainly took its psychological toll. But she's back for a second spell, to the job she loved and held since leaving school with no GCSEs.

The catch? Well, this time, their security guards have been laid off...

Denise fiercely defends residents against ignorant scorn the wider community assumes to inflict, so is held in the highest regard by most. But tough decisions must be made, and hell-raisers don't always leave when asked nicely...

Denise needs her support network more than ever, but it's fallen off a cliff. After a decade in the 'single lane', all best mate Jules wants is to set her up. Great, if only for Jules' dodgy choice of men. Seedy, serial cockney scammer Rick is her latest, and has a few turbulent potential answers for Denise's 'problem'.

Jenn Rizzoto | 41 comments Hi, I'm currently looking for reviewers for this book:

Two Novellas

Two life-affirming stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations.

The Golden Flyswatter takes us to a retro dive bar in Santa Monica, California, where young Natalie Schoenfeldt, an ingenue from Wisconsin, gets a job cocktailing. She soon realizes that the patrons are not who they seem, and Hollywood opportunities may not be either.

The Walk of Washington takes us to present-day Philadelphia, where a young filmmaker is playing piano to pay the rent. When he meets an older gentleman who looks a lot like Benjamin Franklin, the most excellent adventure of his young adult life begins.

Sara Bittner | 18 comments Hiii! Unfortunately I can't send a physical copy so it's totally fine if that's a deal breaker, but I wanted to offer anyway. I have ARC signups open for a romance between a merman and a lighthouse keeper (a woman) in the 1800s! It's not smut fyi but it's super romantic and sweet. She's treated like an outcast because she has a job, fearlessly saves men, and is good at inventing, and he feels like a failed mermaid for not wanting to hurt others (because I based mermaids off dolphins and they're kind of awful lol). But together, they finally feel seen. 🥰

Reviews would ideally be posted on May 1st but you could let me know if you needed more time.

Please fill out this form if you're interested!

Hi! Do you like urban fantasy? I'm looking for readers for my 3rd book in the series. I'm also offering to send the first two (one at a time) so you can get caught up. Which means, I'd understand if your review comes a little later than launch day.

I don't have physical copies yet, though.

Here's the blurb:
Since Hally’s fated-friend, Nolan, upended her exile mere months ago, they’ve saved the elven realm from a ruthless mage, a deadly curse, and a war with the fae. Now terrorists have struck the elven capital and the royals are being held hostage. It’s Hally and Nolan to the rescue, again.
Despite a family crisis in Paris, they’re forced to drop everything and scramble for an open portal as the network collapses. Every victory has a cost and as secrets surface and sacrifices mount, Hally and Nolan must ask themselves: can they save the realm without losing each other?
*picture on form is not part of the cover. Cover reveal will be August 23th.
Here's the sign up sheet.
