ARC Opportunities October 31, 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. 

*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.

Jahlani Jones has a plan. Finish her master’s. Land her dream job. Achieve financial stability. All of which comes to a screeching halt when her long-term boyfriend leaves her, her mounting debt catches up, and she's forced to move back in with her emotionally distant mother. As her constructed life unravels, she accepts an offer to become the graduate teaching assistant for a statistics course— an opportunity to regain some control.

Roman Hayes has a goal. Become a successful software engineer. A demanding task made even harder as a single father. With graduation looming, he resolves to do whatever it takes to get the future he wants for himself. The last thing he needs is to be distracted by lurid fantasies about his captivating, mahogany-eyed teaching assistant during lectures.

When a misunderstanding puts them at odds, the tension threatens to derail their already complicated lives. Forced to work together, they struggle to put aside their differences and prioritize their dreams. But as the semester unfolds, Jahlani wonders if she’s misjudged him. Maybe he isn't just another lackadaisical, privileged pretty boy. And Roman finds himself drawn further into her calculating stares, and the challenge of breaking down her walls. Despite having his academic fate in her hands, he can’t seem to pull away, and Jahlani can’t seem to shake the striking green of his eyes long after he’s gone.

As their resistance weakens, both must confront their pasts, their dreams, and the possibility that love— complicated, unexpected, real love—might just be the variable they’ve both been missing.

My boyfriend stole something priceless from the mafia’s kingpin—his last wife.

A breathtaking beauty they called the Sun Princess.
They fled, leaving me behind in the lion’s den.

Now I’m trapped in the grip of the boss himself. A towering beast carved from stone, with a shaved head and a terrifying reputation—The Wife-Killer.

My face is bruised.
My body aches.
But when he looks at me, there’s no mercy—only vengeance.

“You’re mine now. I’m taking you to replace what your boyfriend stole. And you’ll pay for his mistake...every night, with your body.”

12 Exes. 12 Doors. One Chance at True Love.

Faith Winters has always been unlucky in love—and she’s got twelve failed relationships to prove it. From the high school sweetheart who still smells like pine trees to the rebound with a sweet tooth, every ex is a reminder that happily-ever-after isn’t in her stocking.

But when a mysterious Advent calendar lands on her doorstep, Faith discovers a magical challenge: she must confront all twelve exes before Christmas Eve at midnight… or risk losing her shot at true love forever.

Each door of the calendar reveals a cryptic clue, leading Faith from awkward reunions and hilarious disasters to moments that sting a little deeper than she’d like to admit. Along the way, she begins to realize the problem isn’t just the men she left behind—it might be the walls she’s built around her own heart.

And when the final door opens, Faith faces the biggest surprise of all: sometimes “The One” isn’t in your past… he’s been right in front of you the whole time.

Packed with laugh-out-loud mishaps, festive charm, and a heart-melting slow-burn romance, The 12 Exes of Christmas is the perfect holiday romcom for fans of Christina Lauren, Sophie Kinsella, and cozy nights with cocoa by the tree.

Her past is part legend, part myth. And her murderer is not done with her yet.
Lyra must uncover who she is before her 25th birthday—or die again.

Lyra Vale thought survival was enough—until a fiery stranger drags her into a hidden world beneath Boston. There, she finds herself entangled in a prophecy, a love triangle between two rival phoenix lords, and a deadly mystery: who killed her in her past lives—and why they keep trying.

Lyra Vale is used to surviving.
Graveyard shifts at a grimy Boston diner.
The bruises and manipulations of her boyfriend.
The visions no doctor can explain.
But when a glowing stranger appears in her darkest moment—calling her by a different name and burning with otherworldly fire—Lyra’s fractured world shatters.
She wakes in Emberhall, a hidden realm beneath Boston ruled by the Light Fae. Her rescuer, Kael, is no hallucination—he’s a phoenix prince bound to ancient magic. As Lyra heals, her dreams twist into memories, her ice-laced powers stir, and Kael—golden, gentle, and devastatingly kind—offers her a safety she’s never known.
But safety never lasts.
Kael’s brother Ryn, the brooding, ruthless shadow phoenix, arrives with warnings Kael won’t explain. After rescuing Lyra from a second attack, Ryn brings her to Umbervale, realm of the Dark Fae—offering protection and truths Kael seems determined to keep hidden.
Haunted by memories of a life she once lived—and two men she once loved—Lyra is caught between brothers, between realms, and between the girl she is and the myth she was.
A prophecy is igniting. And Lyra may be its spark.
When betrayal strikes from the unlikeliest place—Tess, the woman Lyra once called sister—Lyra must confront the past that shaped her and choose whether her future belongs to the light, the dark… or to herself.

There's a reason vampire-witch hybrids don't exist.
We're not supposed to survive the transformation.

For five centuries, I've defied that rule through sheer will and the coven’s ancient spells.
But even the strongest magic has limits.

My name is Adriana De Crevena, and I'm dying, slowly, inevitably, as my supernatural abilities tear themselves apart.
Without my stolen Grimoire, the very magic that once made me invincible now threatens to destroy me from within.

For nine years, I've searched alone, surviving on nothing but rage and the desperate need to reclaim what was stolen.

Then Jude walks into my world.
Brilliant, devoted, and utterly human.
He’s offering me something I haven't had in hope.

But hope is dangerous when you're being hunted by the Shadow Court and stalked by Cyrus, the one vampire who could either save me or destroy everything I've built, again.
Four centuries of passion and betrayal wrapped in a devastatingly handsome package, he’s partly the reason I’m in this mess.
Yet I can't resist the pull of our blood bond.

What if I could have it all?
I just need to survive long enough to figure out how.

If you were given the chance to have an adventure inside your very own fairytale, would you take it?

After being lured into a magical bookshop by a very unique cat, that’s exactly the choice Alexis has to make. Not so much a choice as an obvious duh! Once the shock wears off, that is. Now she’s living her best life, training to be accepted as a thief in the Avenston Thieves Guild. That is, if she can keep this damn Gargoyle cop off her back.

Stone has known he wanted to be an investigator for a long time. Unfortunately, due to his grandfather‘s political power, he has been stuck as a lowly patrolman. After the ‘real’ investigators dismiss a possible thief due to the fact she is human, Stone sees his chance to show that he’s as much brain as he is brawn. If he can just keep this bratty female out of his thoughts and out of his dreams, he’s sure he can catch this unlikely burglar in the act.

Cuddle up and enjoy Book Two of this standalone series, The Magical Bookshop.

His motto? Rules are just polite suggestions.

When rockstar Wyatt Banks has a full-blown meltdown on stage, complete with guitar smashing and a rant that earns a solid 18+ parental guidance warning…in front of thousands of screaming fans, well you guessed it… the internet eats it up like grandma’s rum-soaked fruitcake.

Now, three months later, with his image in shambles and a world tour hanging by a tinsel thread, his manager has a brilliant idea: convince the world he didn’t lose his mind, he just needed to find true love.

Enter Annie Harris, professional matchmaker and certified Christmas grinch.

She thinks he’s a PR disaster with too many tattoos and not enough functioning brain cells.

He thinks she’s gorgeous when she’s mad and probably allergic to joy.

He’s supposed to date the women she picks for him. Instead, he keeps ghosting his matches and showing up at her place for family night movie marathons and a hot chocolate.

He says he’s just following the plan.

She says he’s trying to drive her off a holiday themed cliff.

But when snow starts falling in the city that never sleeps and sparks start flying faster than Santa’s sleigh on espresso, Annie may have to break the most important rule in her company handbook:

Never. Date. The. Client.
