Madison Hansen (mhansen2) | 1 comments Hi! My name is Madi and I am completely new to ARC. I'm a fast paced reader who loves anything from psychological thrillers to smutty romance. The only thing I do not wish to read is fantasy. I have tried a few fantasty books and just cannot get into them.
I am new to this so not sure the steps that should be taken to start. Please help guide me in the process!

Corina Bair | 24 comments Hi Madison!
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 lighter and easier.

Poinsettia Lane

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.

Hi Madi! My upcoming book is the first in a thrilling series of sexy spy romance featuring two British intelligence (MI6) agents who start as rivals but can't keep their eyes—or hands—off each other.

What you can expect:

- Enemies to lovers, dialled all the way up
- Morally grey characters (both men and women)
- Opposites attract
- Forced proximity
- Slow-burn romance that eventually ignites into fireworks
- Sexy spy action and cutting-edge tech
- Semi-dystopian near-future setting
- "Touch her and die" energy
- A perfect balance of action and angst
- Intriguing chess motifs
- Bond movie vibes — but for the female gaze

If all this sounds like your kind of read, please fill in this form to receive an ARC via BookSirens: https://forms.gle/5ZdzDE1kDqkPbvuN7

Thank you!

L. Briar (laughingbriar) | 3 comments Hey Madi,
Welcome to the group! I've a comedy scifi that's like a mash up of Becky Chamber's A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet & Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If that sounds up your alley, here are my details:

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

Book Blurb: Common Sense Officer, Ashreal Payne, just wanted to live up to her father’s legacy, but that isn’t easy aboard the spaceship Helios. It doesn’t help that she just can’t say no to a bet. After a bad beat at poker night, Ash must reveal a secret to her crew and endanger the one thing she cares more about than the Helios. Will she be able to gamble her way out of this? Or will this uncommon universe stack the odds against her?

Note to readers: This is Book 1 in a trilogy so there will be loose threads at the end. The ARC copy is pre-copy edits as I'm awaiting final notes from my editor.

George Veck | 31 comments Hi Madi,

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.
