ARC opportunities December 12, 2025 -->forgot to post



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. 

Please let me know if you end up signing up for any of these and what you think of them!  Would love to hear back and I'm always adding to my TBR.  

*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.

Catalina Arismendi knows better than to fall for a player—especially one like Rogue Gallagher.
Grumpy, gorgeous, and ridiculously talented, the team’s star goalkeeper is ten years older, completely off-limits, and entirely out of her league.
He’s moody, mysterious, her total opposite, and somehow, the one man she can’t stop thinking about.
But Rogue isn’t the only one invading her thoughts.
Late-night messages with a stranger on a faceless dating app have Cat hooked—sweet,
attentive, and dangerously easy to fall for, he sees her in a way no one else ever has.
Now, Cat’s stuck between two
The fantasy she’s falling for fast...
And the broody, real-life goalkeeper who might just wreck her—or be the one thing worth the risk.
An age-gap, grumpy/sunshine sports romance full of secret longing, anonymous tension,
and the slowest of slow burns, The Keeper will have you falling hard—maybe for more than one guy.

Lover? Liar? Or me and my kingdom’s doom?

On the eve of my execution, I sealed my fate by signing a dark pact with Ilyatria's accursed king. My reprieve was short-lived; now I’m in a race against time, rotting from the inside out due to a hidden clause. To end the pact, I have to kill my father—the monster who ordered my death. But our kingdom’s twisted magic protects him, and I’ll need an undying dragon’s power to do it.

Yet every hour has me sickening further; I can’t bond a merciless dragon alone. With no other options, I turn to Aelen, one of my people’s enemies and the strongest dragon trainer of Ilyatria—or so he says. He’s brooding and spiteful, armed with sharp ears and a venomous tongue almost more vicious than the dragons themselves.

Despite our truce, he’s a constant thorn in my side, even sabotaging my training. He’s insufferable—and all too irresistible—but without him I’m dead.

My protector. My nightmare.

He’s more than he’s letting an enigma hiding sinister magic and a fixation on keeping me with him, and away from completing my pact. The further our lives intertwine, the more his lies unravel.

And the more his dark obsession grows.

Bitter King Vicious Wings is a steamy dark romantasy standalone with a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of Harper L. Woods, Ella Fields, and Raven Kennedy.

I shouldn’t have played the game. I knew I couldn’t win.

When the man I loathe the most used bribery to mess with my academic achievements, almost getting me expelled from the best private academy on the continent, I didn’t think twice before starting to plot my revenge.

Soren Ford might seem like the world’s biggest gentleman, but underneath the mask he's nothing but a predator. And the worst part? The predators always find their prey.

Now he’s trapped me, caged me up and vowed never to let me go.

Not until he breaks me.

Not until he ruins me.

Not until he owns everything that I am.

But even the weakest prey can become a predators worst nightmare — and that’s exactly what I’ll be.

Annalise has spent her entire life surviving her father, the revered sheriff of South Hollow, and the man who’s been breaking her in secret for years. When one violent night finally pushes her past the point of no return, she stabs him in self-defense. Bleeding, terrified, and convinced she’s just killed the most powerful man in town, she and her best friend Matt flee into the storm… only to be caught by the men who should have been protecting her.

Instead of recognizing the truth of what happened, the judge sentences them both to ten years of mandatory service in the Thandroanian military - an unprecedented punishment that lands them at Scion Military Academy. Scion molds elite soldiers, dragon riders, spell casters… and, in the shadows beneath it all, Ghost Walkers, the kingdom’s covert spies who operate where laws and light don’t reach.

Thrown into a world of dragons, illusion-warped survival courses, brutal combat instructors, and a raging twenty-year war sparked by the constant disappearances of women and children from border towns that are being slaughtered. The king needs soldiers. The continent needs spies.

Can Annalise look beyond the veil of lies that surround her to find the truths she was never meant to find?

The deal was simple.
Marry the cowboy.
Pretend to be in love.
Go our separate ways when the twelve months are up.
What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve spent the last year simply trying to survive but the massive amount of debt to my name and a bar on the brink of collapse, I’m quickly running out of options.
The last thing I expect is to be offered an out by Sunstone Ridge's most eligible bachelor.
Roman Knight is small town royalty.
Rich.
Powerful.
Untouchable.
And as desperate as I am. He needs a wife, and I need money, what could possibly go wrong by making a deal to marry the cowboy with his own reasons to never fall in love?
It’s only twelve months; we both get what we need from it and at the end, we go our separate ways.
We both swear this thing is temporary and I told myself I could get through it, that I wouldn’t fall in love, but the more time I spend on the ranch and with him, the more Roman starts to knock down my carefully constructed walls.
But the foundations we’re balancing on are delicate and getting close to him comes with risks.
One thing I know for sure though, is that secrets don’t stay buried, and when ghosts from Roman’s past come back to haunt him, it’s me who gets caught in the crossfire.

Say You Need Me is book 1 in the Knight Falls Ranch series, a set of three books that can be read as standalones.

When Brianna Hart, the devoted baker of Pine Hollow, learns her beloved shop may be forced to close just days before Christmas, her world begins to wobble like a collapsed soufflé. The bakery isn’t just her livelihood. It’s her sanctuary, her routine, and the heart of the snowy Highland village she’s always called home.

Then Oliver Grant arrives. A meticulous London solicitor tasked with sorting out the estate his late grandfather left behind, including several Pine Hollow properties… one of which happens to be Brianna’s bakery. Focused and determined to honour his grandfather’s wishes, Oliver plans to settle things quickly. He certainly doesn’t expect to be charmed by twinkling lights, pine forests, or warm-hearted villagers who thrive on gossip.

But Pine Hollow has a way of surprising people.

After the town knitting club spots Brianna and Oliver talking at the Christmas Winter Wonderland, rumours spread faster than a storm over the mountains. Overnight, the whole village is convinced they’re secretly courting. Brianna tries to deny it. Oliver awkwardly dodges it. But Pine Hollow has never met a rumour it couldn’t nurture.

Yet as they keep crossing paths, sharing quiet moments, unexpected laughter, and soft confessions beneath falling snow. Neither can ignore the connection simmering between them. While Brianna fights to save her bakery, Oliver begins questioning the life he left behind… and discovering pieces of himself he never knew were missing.

With Christmas approaching and the fate of both the bakery and their hearts on the line, Brianna and Oliver must decide whether the whispers around town are only holiday gossip… or the beginning of something real, magical, and worth holding onto.

Sometimes the best things in life aren’t found in contracts. They’re baked, shared, and stolen under the mistletoe.
