If you are looking for a new author/your next read consider being an ARC reader/reviewer I have been doing a lot of ARC reads this year and finding a lot of new to me authors with amazing books that don't always get the hype that the more popular authors get. Leaving reviews matter especially for Indie authors the more reviews that a book has the more it gets shown to others as an option to read.
Thank you for supporting Indie Authors 💓
If you are an author with an upcoming ARC opportunity and want me to place it in my next ARC opportunities blog post let me know!
I've added good reads links for if you are interested in the book but can't commit to the ARC read and review timelines. These ARC opportunities were taken from the authors original posts.
Please let me know if you end up signing up for any of these and what you think of them! Would love to hear back and I'm always adding to my TBR.
*I try to not submit duplicates from week to week but I have been doing the arc opportunities post for a few months now and I'm sure that a duplicate might slip in from time to time.

Lover? Liar? Or
me and my kingdom’s doom?
On the eve of my execution, I sealed my fate by
signing a dark pact with Ilyatria's accursed king. My reprieve was
short-lived; now I’m in a race against time, rotting from the inside out due
to a hidden clause. To end the pact, I have to kill my father—the monster who
ordered my death. But our kingdom’s twisted magic protects him, and I’ll need
an undying dragon’s power to do it.
Yet every hour has me sickening further; I can’t
bond a merciless dragon alone. With no other options, I turn to Aelen, one of
my people’s enemies and the strongest dragon trainer of Ilyatria—or so he
says. He’s brooding and spiteful, armed with sharp ears and a venomous tongue
almost more vicious than the dragons themselves.
Despite our truce, he’s a constant thorn in my
side, even sabotaging my training. He’s insufferable—and all too
irresistible—but without him I’m dead.
My protector. My nightmare.
He’s more than he’s letting an enigma hiding
sinister magic and a fixation on keeping me with him, and away from
completing my pact. The further our lives intertwine, the more his lies
unravel.
And the more his dark obsession grows.
Bitter King Vicious Wings is a steamy dark
romantasy standalone with a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of Harper L.
Woods, Ella Fields, and Raven Kennedy.

I shouldn’t
have played the game. I knew I couldn’t win.
When the man I loathe the most used bribery to
mess with my academic achievements, almost getting me expelled from the best
private academy on the continent, I didn’t think twice before starting to
plot my revenge.

part? The predators always find their prey.
Now he’s trapped me, caged me up and vowed never
to let me go.
Not until he breaks me.
Not until he ruins me.
Not until he owns everything that I am.
But even the weakest prey can become a predators
worst nightmare — and that’s exactly what I’ll be.

Annalise has spent her entire life
surviving her father, the revered sheriff of South Hollow, and the man who’s
been breaking her in secret for years. When one violent night finally pushes
her past the point of no return, she stabs him in self-defense. Bleeding,
terrified, and convinced she’s just killed the most powerful man in town, she
and her best friend Matt flee into the storm… only to be caught by the men
who should have been protecting her.
Instead of recognizing the truth of what
happened, the judge sentences them both to ten years of mandatory service in
the Thandroanian military - an unprecedented punishment that lands them at
Scion Military Academy. Scion molds elite soldiers, dragon riders, spell
casters… and, in the shadows beneath it all, Ghost Walkers, the kingdom’s
covert spies who operate where laws and light don’t reach.
Thrown into a world of dragons,
illusion-warped survival courses, brutal combat instructors, and a raging
twenty-year war sparked by the constant disappearances of women and children
from border towns that are being slaughtered. The king needs soldiers. The
continent needs spies.
Can Annalise look beyond the veil of lies
that surround her to find the truths she was never meant to find?

The deal was
simple.
Marry the cowboy.
Pretend to be in love.
Go our separate ways when the twelve months
are up.
What could possibly go wrong?
I’ve spent the last year simply trying to
survive but the massive amount of debt to my name and a bar on the brink of
collapse, I’m quickly running out of options.
The last thing I expect is to be offered an out
by Sunstone Ridge's most eligible bachelor.
Roman Knight is small town royalty.
Rich.
Powerful.
Untouchable.
And as desperate as I am. He needs a wife, and I
need money, what could possibly go wrong by making a deal to marry the cowboy
with his own reasons to never fall in love?
It’s only twelve months; we both get what we
need from it and at the end, we go our separate ways.
We both swear this thing is temporary and I told
myself I could get through it, that I wouldn’t fall in love, but the more
time I spend on the ranch and with him, the more Roman starts to knock down
my carefully constructed walls.
But the foundations we’re balancing on are
delicate and getting close to him comes with risks.
One thing I know for sure though, is that
secrets don’t stay buried, and when ghosts from Roman’s past come back to
haunt him, it’s me who gets caught in the crossfire.
Say You Need Me is book 1 in the Knight Falls
Ranch series, a set of three books that can be read as standalones.

Falling for Pine Hollow

When Brianna
Hart, the devoted baker of Pine Hollow, learns her beloved shop may be forced
to close just days before Christmas, her world begins to wobble like a
collapsed soufflé. The bakery isn’t just her livelihood. It’s her sanctuary,
her routine, and the heart of the snowy Highland village she’s always called
home.
Then Oliver Grant arrives. A meticulous London solicitor
tasked with sorting out the estate his late grandfather left behind,
including several Pine Hollow properties… one of which happens to be
Brianna’s bakery. Focused and determined to honour his grandfather’s wishes,
Oliver plans to settle things quickly. He certainly doesn’t expect to be
charmed by twinkling lights, pine forests, or warm-hearted villagers who
thrive on gossip.
But Pine Hollow has a way of surprising people.
After the town knitting club spots Brianna and Oliver talking at the
Christmas Winter Wonderland, rumours spread faster than a storm over the
mountains. Overnight, the whole village is convinced they’re secretly
courting. Brianna tries to deny it. Oliver awkwardly dodges it. But Pine
Hollow has never met a rumour it couldn’t nurture.
Yet as they keep crossing paths, sharing quiet moments, unexpected laughter,
and soft confessions beneath falling snow. Neither can ignore the connection
simmering between them. While Brianna fights to save her bakery, Oliver
begins questioning the life he left behind… and discovering pieces of himself
he never knew were missing.
With Christmas approaching and the fate of both the bakery and their
hearts on the line, Brianna and Oliver must decide whether the whispers
around town are only holiday gossip… or the beginning of something real,
magical, and worth holding onto.
Sometimes the best things in life aren’t found in contracts. They’re
baked, shared, and stolen under the mistletoe.
