Hello, team!
It’s been a busy month for ARC submissions. While we've received a lot of books, I am, as always, very selective about what I pass on to you. I make it a priority to ensure that every book I offer aligns with the genres and tastes you've shared with me. It’s a process that takes time, but it's my core commitment to you. You’ve entrusted me with your reading time by joining this team, and I want to make sure every book we offer is a potential new favorite, not a chore.
On that front, I'm so excited to offer a new one from a Deanna's World author, Emma Hartlight. This is Knox's book, and I know it has been highly requested! Your wish is Emma's command, and I can assure you that Em has worked hard on this one. The early-early reviews have been very positive. And I can confirm that this time, no cats were accidentally left in cars during the editing process (my bad!)—a detail that, thankfully, our eagle-eyed typo hunter team caught. (If you're very eagle-eyed and think you'd like to join that team, you can click here.)
In addition to Emma's book, we also have a new steamy contemporary romance and a fantastic find for our fantasy lovers. This one is a Scottish romantasy that blends fae and fantasy romance, and I think it will tick a lot of boxes for many of you. Please note, it does have some heavy themes, so be sure to check the trigger warnings in the book's listing.

A little housekeeping before you claim your next read:
- Complete Your Sign-Up: If you haven't already, please fill out the main ARC team sign-up form. This is the only way I can send books directly to your Kindle!
- How Books Are Listed: The opportunities below are sorted by review due date, with the one that's due soonest at the top.
- Your Reviews:
- Honesty is Key: First and foremost, your review should be your honest opinion. We never expect you to love every book.

After our chat, we can decide the best path forward, which often just means you're excused from the review—no stress! It’s about giving every book its best chance to find the right readers.

The Blurb:
Her world is sunshine and petals. Mine is encrypted data and threat assessments. Now, our worlds have collided, and I’m the only thing standing between her and a professional thief.
My days are spent in sterile boardrooms and secure servers, a world of black-and-white certainties. Then I meet Millie. She’s a whirlwind of color and chaos, a florist who sees the good in everyone. I tell myself my repeated visits to her shop are for professional reasons—assessing her laughably inadequate security—but it’s a lie. The truth is, her light is a magnetic force I can’t resist.
But when danger bypasses her security and steals her most valuable creation, my world of threats crashes into her peaceful life. This isn't a simple robbery; it's a targeted acquisition that puts her directly in the crosshairs. My protective instincts take over, and suddenly I’m mobilizing security teams and running background checks, determined to fortify her world against the darkness I know so well.
I’m drawn deeper into her life, into her community, and into the warmth I’ve denied myself for years. Can a man who lives in the shadows build a future in the sun? Find out in the next installment of the Cliffside Connections series.

The Blurb:
I spent one night with the city’s hottest billionaires… and woke up fake-engaged.
Beckett Reed is all danger and dominance—tattoos, smirks, and a glare sharp enough to slice steel.
He was supposed to be a one-night mistake after my sister’s wild bachelorette party.
But now I’m living in his penthouse, wearing his ring, and pretending I’m the woman he plans to marry.
All because someone’s trying to ruin my business… and Beckett insists playing fiancée will protect me.
We bicker like enemies. We flirt like idiots. We touch like we’ve forgotten it’s fake.
He makes midnight snacks and bandages my cuts.
He calls me sunshine—like I matter.
And somewhere between stolen kisses and staged interviews, I fall for the man I swore I’d never trust.
But then my name hits the tabloids, my company crashes, and his enemies target everything I love.
The worst part?
If I lose him now, I’m not just faking the heartbreak.
I’m living it.

If Queen Vheara’s soldiers catch him, Flora's clan will hang as traitors. If she turns him away, the rebels will demand revenge.
