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 ๐
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.

Corvin: Not My Little Drummer Boy

She’s not asking Santa for a puppy.
She’s not wishing for a pony.
And a certain drummer boy is definitely not on her Christmas list.
All Rachel MacDonald wants for Christmas is to make it through her best
friend’s wedding with her dignity intact. Fresh from a holiday
heartbreak—courtesy of her flaky ex-fiancรฉ—she’s armed with retail therapy and
a strict ‘stick to sensible choices’ policy. With a partner’s seat at her law
firm hanging in the balance, she can’t afford distractions. But when she’s
paired with charming drummer Teddy Hargrove in the wedding party, her resolve
crumbles faster than day-old Christmas cookies. A no-strings fling with a hard
end date might be the only reckless choice she’s willing to make.
Teddy’s earned his spot on Santa’s naughty list—and his charm makes it
impossible for anyone to hold it against him. As the irresistible drummer of
Stellar Riot, he’s never pretended to be anything but a love-’em-and-leave-’em
musician whose ex-girlfriends still send him Christmas cards. But one look at
Rachel in her emerald-green bridesmaid dress has him wondering if it’s time to
change his tune. Too bad she’s got him filed firmly under ‘Christmas Bad Idea
#1.’
Partnered in a wedding-week Christmas Challenge—with gingerbread showdowns and
carol face-offs—they can’t outrun their very inconvenient spark. Love might be
the real win, if Rachel can trust her heart to a drummer boy who’s never played
for keeps—until now.

Two
worlds. One storm.
Can we survive the chaos—or will it consume us both?
Ryan: My goals were simple, even if my life wasn’t. My world was black and
white and straight lines.
That is, until Risha Verma crashed into it. With her radiance, creative
expression, and that burning chemistry, she enveloped me to my core.
She gives me closure I didn’t know I needed. She makes me a better man; I
didn’t realize I wanted to be. And, she opens my eyes to a world I didn’t know
I yearned for.
Risha: My life was a struggle between control, peace, and independence. I was
trapped between the weight of expectations and dreams of an elusive future.
Breaking free would brand me rebellious, while every mistake would carve my
present. I live in two worlds: one I can’t escape, and one I can never fully
claim.
That is, until I cross paths with a devastatingly gorgeous Ryan McAlister. We
have nothing in common—our goals, our lives, our futures couldn’t be further
apart—yet he awakens a storm I’ve fought so hard to silence. Beneath all the
differences, we are alike. And he stirs a storm in me I never saw coming.
I let myself get swept into it—playing along, surrendering to its rhythm,
pretending the moment could last forever. And then, everything unravels, and I
realize I was never meant to belong to this storm.

Seb
My professor thrives on control. Absolute, suffocating control.
Now that obsession’s fixed on her. The girl I’m obsessed with.
But I’ll burn everything he’s built before I let him break
her.
Eric
Only
Zizi, my student, with her raw hunger and unrestrained desire, can bring my
experiments to life.
And Seb, my quiet, brooding assistant, is a threat. And I’ll destroy him before
he takes what’s mine.
Zizi
I’m
ready. No, I’m desperate. To surrender to my professor.
To let him shape me, claim me,
ruin me.
It doesn’t matter if it’s for him to reach fame and
recognition. I’ll
do anything for him... even if it burns me alive.

A
Akinosho: The Roommate Agreement
One
apartment. One fake boyfriend. One agreement waiting to be broken.
I’m tired of my dad playing matchmaker.
As a music teacher juggling life with sickle cell disease, I don’t have time—or
energy—for forced dinner dates with “eligible men.”
So, I come up with a find a fake boyfriend, let him move in, and make it
believable.
Daniel was never supposed to say yes.
He’s a grumpy, emotionally walled-off lawyer who hates chaos and clings to
solitude.
But now he’s in my apartment—tall, brooding, infuriatingly neat—and fitting
into my world way too easily.
I don’t believe in love. Not when life has taught me it rarely sticks around.
But something about him feels dangerously real.
Something about her captured my attention the moment I met her.
I knew I was in trouble.
Controlled and always alone—that’s who I’ve been.
But I said yes before I could stop myself.
Because moving into her tea-scented, music-filled home was the only way I could
be close to her.
She’s sunshine and sharp edges. She hums while stirring honey into her cup and
smiles through pain like it’s nothing.
This was supposed to be pretend.
But with every stolen glance and late-night conversation, the line between real
and fake keeps slipping.
She doesn’t believe in love.
I never thought it was possible.
But living with her is rewriting everything I thought I knew—
And walking away might not be an option.

Nadia
never wanted to go to the haunted fair after what happened two Halloweens ago.
But when her best friend promises her one harmless night of fun, she
reluctantly agrees.
That’s
when she catches the attention of the lumberjack, hidden behind a mask as a
scare-actor. He only saw her once, but it was enough to spark an obsession he
can’t contain.
Now, he
stalks through every level of the fair, twisting each attraction into his own
deadly game. With every step, Nadia is pulled deeper into his orb, where fear
tangles with desire, and escape slips further from reach.
Because
a lumberjack is nothing without his muse. And this Halloween, he’ll make sure
she never escapes.

Oh
no. No. Do not think that. He is not my boyfriend. He is a pigeon.
Birdie is an animal control tech.
Gray is the glitter-covered pigeon man who just exploded out of a birdcage in
her van, claiming she is his mate.
A well-timed phone call from her family sees Gray attending a family wedding as
Birdie's fake boyfriend.
Except things don't stay fake for long, and the shape of freedom always
changes.
A ridiculous pigeon shifter romance with accidental hurt feelings. Oops!
