ARC Opportunities September 19, 2025

 

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. 

Michelle Naomi Mosley    Bottle Shock *small town *single dad *best friend’s brother *secret marriage of convenience *forced proximity *dual POV    Good reads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/240311874-bottle-shock?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=2JIsuzYDcn&rank=1   Sign up link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe0znFbLSdmfKvjoZK0RKLWggyMzEI2_S1LOMVUo_IWLSPF9g/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawM5L1lleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFxT2F5dDZZV3h4STI3ekY5AR4b_DODusU2hS0bl6C5sneHKr8ImHAw7YoJQsxmRZk-NAx-Nsi2mcxT4VhJiA_aem_7swUz_G1gRX81oO7HmLdPg   Blurb: an out-of-work actress and her best friend’s brother enter into a marriage of convenience—only to inconveniently fall for each other—in this spicy small town romance from the author of Rare Blend and Double Barrel. He’s after a house. She’s the key to getting it. Scotland “Scottie” James swore she’d never end up back in her small hometown. But with acting gigs drying up and the city spitting her out, Red Mountain is the only place to go—and the last place she wanted to be. Taking a job at her parents’ real estate firm is meant to be a detour on her way back to the stage. But when she’s asked to help her best friend’s older brother find a lake house, she accidentally lands her biggest acting role yet: Gavin Ledger’s wife. For Gavin Ledger, winemaker and devoted single dad, life revolves around his daughter. The perfect lake house could help her feel closer to the mother she’ll never know—but there’s one problem: the seller will only sell to a married couple. His solution? The one woman guaranteed to test his patience. Scottie is dramatic, glamorous, and nothing like the steady, quiet life he’s built, yet being her husband—on paper—feels dangerously easy. The longer they play house, the more it stops feeling like an act. And when the final curtain falls, Scottie will have to decide if chasing her old dream is worth losing the best thing she never saw coming. Like bottle shock, love can take you by surprise—but the best things in life are often the ones you never planned.
