ARC Opportunities November 28, 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.

Louise Clement:  Of Mates and Crowns:

 I died a queen’s death—betrayed by the king I loved.


Cedric was my mate, my king, my choice. I stood by his side through war, blood, and lies. And when I finally defied him in an attempt to stop him from slaughtering innocents, he drove a blade through my heart.

I thought that was the end. Until, somehow, I woke up five years in the past, on the day I’d chosen him.

This time, I won’t.

Instead, I bind myself to Azrael, the Northern Lycan King. A man the South calls a monster. A savage beast forged in frost and cruelty. In my old life, he used to be feared for his ruthlessness, but unlike my former mate, he hadn’t killed me.

And right now, he’s the only one who might stand a chance against Cedric.

I never meant to get involved with another lycan royal. Only to survive. I may have died for a king once, but I won’t bow to one again. Yet as war builds and my past claws at my heels, I feel the faintest stirrings of something I hadn’t thought trust.

I’ve been given a second chance, and this time, I’ll take Cedric down before I ever let him take me again—even if it means falling for a king who might be worse than the first.

 As the scars of T-Day fade into memory, Empire City braces for a new nightmare brought forth by the sudden disappearance of Bonnie Connor, daughter of the enigmatic Theodora Connor. Reluctantly returning to her Scarlet Sparrow persona, Theodora seeks aid from the demon who bestowed powers upon her. As the devil inside takes control, she grows weaker and more disconnected, slowly losing her life and soul to her demonic savior.


In his search for Bonnie, rookie detective Skip Gibson unexpectedly unearths a chilling truth—a sinister cult consisting of Empire City's most affluent socialites, intricately woven into Theo's dark past and possibly withholding information as to Bonnie Connor's whereabouts. Meanwhile, the same night Bonne vanishes, Doctor Nadir Singh's scientific team stumbles upon a mysterious UFO near the Connors' residence north of the city.

With each revelation, Empire City transforms into a battleground where technology and the occult clash. In the midst of this chaos, Theodora, Skip, Nadir, and others must navigate a treacherous maze of betrayal and redemption, racing against the clock to uncover Bonnie's fate and protect the city's very soul. As the mysteries intertwine and enemies emerge, the fate of Empire City teeters on a knife's edge, balancing between salvation and utter destruction.

 Blurb:

I freed the monster in my basement. In return, he kidnapped me.

He had the nerve to say he was saving my life. The real reason? He knew I was his soulmate the second I walked into his prison. As much as I want to call him insane, my own magic is siding with the pumpkin man. It’s been a destructive wrecking ball since I met him, a tempest that only his hands on my body can tame. He needs to survive seven rigged trials to take back his throne, and our fated connection has just painted a target on both our backs. He’s the monster, and I’m the witch his people want to burn. Our fated bond might be the spark that reignites an old purge, but it’s also the only thing strong enough to drag a dying realm back from the brink. And if his enemies come for us, they’ll learn exactly what a monster prince and his witch will do to hold onto each other.

 When a New Orleans alchemist falls for a priest-in-training at Bavaria's most prestigious university, their forbidden romance is the least dangerous alchemy they'll unleash.

A Dark Academia Fantasy Romance - perfect for fans of NINTH HOUSE and THE DISCOVERY OF WITCHES.

Max Frost makes a mistake the moment he brings Liberté Diallo-Delacroix home to Bad Kissingen, Bavaria.
The spirited New Orleans taste alchemist expects awkward dinners with his Catholic family, soaks in the foggy spa town's famous Roman baths, and hopefully getting beneath Max's clerical collar. She doesn't expect medieval alchemical manuscripts spelling death at Bavaria's most prestigious university—or the ruthless academic wielding them.


A Dark Scholar is perfecting what Max's grandfather failed to achieve: emotional alchemy that turns grief into rage, hope into despair, and free will into obedience. To stop him, Max and Liberté break into laboratories still stained with Otto Frost's failures, chase answers along autumnal cobblestones and through securely hidden ancient libraries.


But hunting a master manipulator demands they lower every guard, trust without reservation, and risk the one thing alchemy has taught them to protect: their hearts.
In a place where love itself can be bottled and weaponized, their intimacy becomes the very weapon that could destroy them.


A man trained in denial. A woman raised to distrust. And an ancient magic that feeds on both.


Some doors, once opened, cannot be closed again.

 Two skaters on the edge. One impossible routine. Everything to lose.


Two rivals. One failing ice rink. And a performance that could rewrite everything they thought they knew about skating, each other, and themselves.

Mikael Fitzgibbons used to be the bright star of Australian figure skating. Now he hides the fractures in his confidence behind jokes and showmanship. The more he pretends he’s fine, the more the ice threatens to swallow him whole.

Daniil Ivanov is his opposite in every way — precise, controlled, and relentlessly focused. Skating is all he has left after losing his parents, and he clings to it with a ferocity that leaves no room for mistakes… or anyone else.

But when Oceancrest Ice Arena announces its closure, everything changes.
For Mik, the rink is his last link to a future he hasn’t fully given up on.
For Daniil, it’s the only home he has left.

The solution? A duet routine neither of them wants.

As they train together, rivalry gives way to reluctant trust. Secrets surface. Old wounds crack open. And the line between enemies and allies begins to blur.

With the clock ticking and the community rallying behind them, Mik and Daniil must pull off a routine powerful enough to save their rink…before it’s too late.

A story about pressure, passion, and the unexpected bonds of friendship that form when everything is on the line.

 Naomi Piccolo is done being underestimated. Chronically overlooked at her marketing firm, landing a consulting gig for a pro hockey team is her chance to prove she belongs in the big leagues—even if she's the shortest person in every boardroom.

Garrett Tall doesn't do apologies. Not for his size, not for his ridiculous pre-game rituals, and definitely not for pissing off the fierce little redhead. As the Hartford Whalers' starting goalie, he's paid to be immovable, and he's very good at his job.
When Naomi walks into the arena, neither of them is thrilled. She thinks he's a superstitious man-child who smirks instead of speaks. He thinks she's all bark and no bite.
Then she accidentally touches his lucky stick. And he wins. Now Garrett is convinced she's his good luck charm—and he's not above asking her to touch his stick again. She finds the whole thing absurd. He finds her protests irrelevant.
Suddenly they're bound together by superstition and stubbornness, stuck in each other's orbit with all that friction combusting into something a lot harder to ignore.
A sharp, steamy enemies-to-lovers hockey romance novella with banter that hits like a perfectly timed poke check.

 Amber Wright has one goal this survive it.


Between her son’s impossible-to-assemble bike, a half-finished bottle of wine, and the ghost of a marriage gone wrong, she’s barely holding it together.
Then a stranger’s voice crackles through her son’s walkie-talkie, warm, kind, and wickedly funny.
“Saint Nick,” he calls himself. He’s a neighbor. A good one. The kind who checks in on her and makes her laugh when she forgets how.
But the more they talk, the less neighborly it feels. What starts as lighthearted banter turns into late-night confessions, laughter, and a spark that lingers long after the signal fades.
Saint Nick seems nice...but Amber can’t shake the feeling he might also be a little naughty.
Maybe she should invite him over and find out?

Naughty Saint Nick is a darkly funny, steamy, and emotionally charged holiday romance about loneliness, temptation, and two strangers who collide when they least expect it. It blends small-town Christmas charm with neighbors-to-lovers heat, a single-mom heroine, late-night walkie-talkie flirting, secret longing, and a protective cinnamon-roll hero with a dirty mouth. Perfect for readers who crave grown-up holiday stories with heat, humor, heart, and a touch of naughty Christmas magic.

 Some love stories start with a spark. Ours started with a stakeout.


Cassie
I’ve spent years chasing answers and pretending I didn’t already know where my heart was headed.
The cases keep coming, the nights keep getting longer, and Lincoln Suco keeps showing up—calm, infuriating, and impossible to forget.
We’ve survived danger, distance, and a thousand reasons to walk away. But this time, it’s not a client on the line—it’s us.
Love’s always been the mystery I could never solve. Maybe this is the one time I actually get to.

Lincoln
They say every investigator has a weakness. Mine is Cassie Love.
She’s the reason I stayed when I should’ve run, the reason I believe in second chances, and the only chaos I never want to escape.
The agency will go on—there will always be clients—but for me, this story ends right where it should.
Because after everything we’ve faced, it’s always been Just Us.

 “Are you asking to be punished?”

Heat simmered in my gaze.
“Will you do the punishing?”

*

Marielle Kolsov’s rise to fame was nothing short of shocking. A mafia princess turned media darling, no one expected to see her on billboards, in glossy magazines, or whispering in the ears of powerful politicians. But there she is – America’s favorite sweetheart.

And Agent Castor Sterling wants her in cuffs.

As the FBI’s sharpest weapon, he’s spent years hunting her family’s empire from the shadows. But Marielle isn’t just a target – she’s an obsession. One he can’t afford. One he can’t resist.

When a string of murdered girls leads back to her, Castor is forced to work with the woman he swore to destroy. But in a city where power tastes like sin and secrets kill, their twisted alliance is a ticking bomb.

The deeper they dive, the closer they get.
The closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell –
who’s playing who… and who’s about to burn.

Because love isn’t soft.
It’s sharp. Vicious.
And it never comes without a body count.

Billionaire's Crime is an enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance, and the fourth standalone in the Guns and Roses Series. Features content that may not be suitable for all readers. *READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.*
