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.

Colorado Territory, 1874—a small frontier town nestled in the high country,
where everyone knows your name and your business, secrets don't stay hidden,
and second chances come with the watchful support of determined neighbors. When
refined Lily Bishop steps off the stage as Marshal Dan Crawford's mail-order
bride, she's fleeing a past she can't escape and seeking a future she doesn't
dare hope for. Dan needs a mother for his spirited six-year-old daughter and
a housekeeper for his bachelor household—not romance, and certainly not love. But
six-year-old Susie has other plans, immediately claiming Lily as her mama.
And when a measles outbreak threatens the town's children, Lily's nursing
skills—and her courage—win the respect of the entire community. As Dan tracks
a dangerous kidnapping ring and Lily faces the man who won't let her go,
their practical arrangement becomes anything but. In
Buckhorn Gap, where folks look out for their own, two wounded souls will
discover that love is worth fighting for. Tropes

and the dream to purchase her own shop. Which is why a generous contract for
the refurbishment of the enchanted Opulence Mansion couldn’t have arrived at
a better time. It isn’t long, however, before she’s left wondering if
achieving her dream should come with so many nightmares. Masked henchmen,
memory-stealing wounds, and an intolerably attractive shopkeeper have since
sullied her once charmed life. The dangerous combination divides her
attention against a newfound problem: she’s discovered something sinister
seeping behind the mansion’s numbered doors. Poison has no place in her town, and Alora has never
abandoned a difficult project before. But there are some things even her
imagination cannot conceive, and this contract, whether she agrees or not,
may just be the last one she’ll ever sign.

years since San Diego last saw snow in the city, and of course history
repeats itself my first Christmas working at the hospital. Stressed, exhausted,
and hanging on by a thread, the last thing I want to do in the weeks leading
up to my favorite holiday is increase my hours, but it seems like every
emergency in this city has come through our doors. Doctor Lincoln Stokes
is the thorn in my side and the reason my Christmas cheer is utterly tanked,
even though he makes the sugar plum fairies in my stomach dance every time
he’s near. He’s all work, no play, and for reasons unknown, can’t freaking
stand me. But that sounds like a
him problem, because festive is my middle name, and if we all have to be
stuck under these terrible fluorescent hospital lights this holiday season,
the least I can do is add a little garland to the mix. The last thing I
expect on Christmas morning is to wake up at the hospital as a patient. And
imagine my surprise when my eyes flutter open and the man sleeping in the
chair beside me is him. Now, I can’t help but
wonder if the Christmas magic has made Doctor Stokes’ heart grow a few sizes
for me. Rose Wulf: Spoils of War Good reads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/241753260-spoils-of-war?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_24 Sign up link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZk6AnEUTVYyhJki5lzTc7b2aT5ytkgraiA3r0E5i-arN23g/viewform Piper
Jacobsen’s carefully constructed world tipped off its axis the day she lost
her job.
Back in high school, we pranked each other daily, traded insults like candy,
and shared one unforgettable kiss on graduation night.
Ten years later, I’m back in our hometown with a new team and a new reason to
see her differently. Turns out the tension between us has grown hotter than
ever.
The only thing crazier than kissing her again? Realizing I never should have
stopped.
When fate intervenes, I’m ready to be the man she deserves. No playing
around, it’s time to win the heart of the woman I love.
LIGAYA
Tristan Thorne III or, as I like to call him, "the Turd"
is still infuriating, still gorgeous, and still skating circles around my
willpower.
He's the prank king, the comeback kid, the man whose kiss I can’t forget.
I agreed to one reckless, glorious night to shut the door on our past.
Instead, we opened another door. The one that leads straight to midnight
cravings, swollen ankles, and mood swings that give me whiplash.
My body has never been more desperate for Tristan, but my brain won’t stop
wondering...
Are his feelings for me real, or am I falling for the meanest prank of all?
All Kvisti has ever wanted is to protect her
desert village in a way that would make the Mother Tree proud. Unfortunately,
an old injury has left her once-potent dryad powers broken, and she can’t
even stop the ruthless magic poachers that invade her village for the scraps
of magic she still holds.
Snake shifter Iason is bound to a criminal snake
den for the sake of his rare healing magic. But the magic poachers want his
magic, too. When the poachers throw Kvisti in the same magic-proof cell as
Iason, the two are inexorably drawn together, bonding over past traumas. In
their isolation, they begin to heal each other, finding a connection deeper
than they imagined possible.
But when disaster strikes the poachers, Kvisti
and Iason are abandoned in their cell with no hope for freedom.
In a world that thrives on cruelty and despair,
love may be their only salvation. Can Kvisti and Iason break free of their
prison and the pasts that haunt them before their connection is torn apart?
Will the delicate new feelings taking root in their hearts bloom, or will the
desert bury them? When blood and pain are a constant, love is a fragile
thing—but one worth fighting for.
Aethra has no name, no parents, no home. Taken
in by a secretive mentor, she’s taught to survive by robbing others of their
coin - until the day he betrays her.
Saddled with debt even a noble couldn’t repay,
Aethra is offered a chance to shake off the underworld elite who hunt her.
She must steal the church’s most precious bloodstone on the day of their most
holy festival.
But Aethra is a con artist, not a thief. When
her attempt fails, she’s met not by the headsman but the king. In exchange
for her freedom, she’s given a job:
Join a team on a quest to travel beyond the
world’s end, and find a cure for its decay. A quest sure to end in their
deaths.
No ordinary men would accept such an offer.
Least of all the assassin with a silver tongue and the heretic with dark
secrets - but Aethra has no choice but to follow them unto the end.
When Ivory's
purification magic accidentally reveals the truth at the funeral, she becomes
a fugitive with a deadly mission: reach the seven kingdoms before Seraphina
can complete her conquest. But the Queen sends her most dangerous weapon to
stop her: Hunter, who is cursed to die from romantic love as punishment for
rejecting Seraphina's obsession.
Every stolen kiss
brings Hunter closer to death. Every moment of connection feeds the curse
consuming him. But as they journey through kingdoms trapped in twisted fairy
tales (where Beauty's beast king rules an eternal winter, the Frog Prince can
barely hold human form, and Sleeping Beauty's kingdom drowns in perpetual
twilight), their forbidden love grows stronger than the magic trying to
destroy it.
Seven cursed
kingdoms. One impossible love. A stepmother who will burn the world before
she lets them have their happily ever after.
Can true love conquer a curse designed to
kill it? Or will saving the world cost them everything?
What do you do if you have an injured raccoon
with a boob fetish, dead bodies being dropped in your driveway, and a masked
stalker who watches you, breaks into your bedroom at night, and takes your
body to heights you didn’t know were possible?
If you’re Dr. Luna Foster, owner of Sage &
Summit Wildlife Sanctuary, you seek out your new neighbor, Damien Wolfe,
billionaire security mogul, and ask him to wire your property with security
cameras.
But little do you know... He might just be the
most dangerous predator of them all.
Damien
I have three rules: stay hidden, leave no
traces, never let the target know. But Dr. Luna Foster's smile shatters every
rule I've lived by. Now I want her to see me, to know what kind of monster is
watching her. I’ve spent years in the dark, perfecting the art of hunting
those who deserve death. Now I’ve found someone who makes me want to step
into the light—even if it means she'll see the blood on his hands.
Luna
The first time I feel someone watching, I'm
terrified. The second time, I'm curious. By the third, I'm leaving my
curtains open on purpose. But when I realize my stalker isn't the
nightmare—he's the one who hunts them—I find myself craving his deadly attention.
Slowly, the weight of his gaze starts to feel less like terror and more like
a deadly promise I want him to keep.

She saw only bills, the inevitable loss of the
family home, and all the ways she had become a failure to the sisters she’d
worked so hard to support.
So her sisters sent her off for a week-long
retreat, in the hopes of finding her composure and fresh perspective.
What she found instead was an unfriendly man, an
angry bear, and War.
Sulien had come to keep a promise, but he felt
something within Piper he couldn’t ignore. The recognition that she was in
danger compelled him to whisk her away, but being alone with the woman who
captivated him only made the attraction stronger.
So he resolved to care for her, the way she did
for everyone else, and protect her and all she loved from the danger that
lingered just out of sight….
