When Helena Torres finds a cryptic message on her father’s phone, she follows it straight into a world of family secrets, control, manipulation, and long-buried truths that were never meant to come to light.

Along the way, she meets Jay Sterling, and what unfolds between them only deepens the questions rather than answering them.

If you’re drawn to women’s fiction that explores power, autonomy, emotional complexity, and the damage people learn to survive inside, this is one worth reading early. ARCs go out tomorrow, so this is your final reminder to sign up before the list closes.

Never Everything
Release date: 18/05/2026
Distribution: Wide

Choice is a luxury many women are never given. And Helena Torres is no exception.

She didn’t choose her future occupation as a lawyer, nor current job as her father’s glorified assistant. As a New York City DA, he’s mastered the art of control and secrets, both in the courtroom and at home.

But when Helena finds a cryptic text from her estranged uncle, Michael Silva, while snooping on her father’s phone, she decides it’s time for her to start making her own choices.

She follows the thread right into a world full of deception, manipulation, power, and at the other end? A woman named Jay Sterling.

Jay, a confident, charismatic dancer lives life on her own terms. Or so it would seem. She tells herself she’s with Michael because she chooses to be. She’s dancing because it’s what she wants to do. And when a gorgeous man who says all the right things waltzes into her club, she’s all too happy to string him along—even when it starts to feel like she’s the one being pulled in.

As Helena and Jay search for answers, their paths entwine further, revealing only more questions, ones they’re likely better off not asking at all. Because the answers reveal a hard truth: we’re rarely in control of the choices we make.

Never Everything is a women’s literature novel about love, loss, family, friendship, and most importantly, choice.

The River Runs Silent
Release date: 7/5/2026
Distribution: Kindle Unlimited

What happens when the life she left behind refuses to stay buried?

Private Investigator Devanie Hutchins defines her life by what she used to be. Former homicide detective, former foster kid, former mother. And former college sweetheart of Texas Congressman Jackson Everett.

When Jack’s sister is brutally murdered, Dev and Jack are forced to set their painful history aside and work together to find the killer. Jack may be driven by justice, but Dev is haunted by something far more dangerous: her need for absolution from a past that could destroy them both.

The investigation points to a shadowy boyfriend and a deeply personal crime scene, yet Dev’s gut warns that a critical piece of the truth remains hidden. With time running out and the past tightening its grip, Dev must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to uncover the truth.

Some secrets don’t just ruin careers. They can take everything that matters, including the man she still loves.

She’s killed for less.

Quinn Wolfe has built her career on three things: precision, control, and never letting anyone get close enough to use her past against her. For once, she has an assignment worthy of her skill. A fifteen-million-dollar contract for a powerful CFO to retrieve an adaptive quantum algorithm.

She almost makes it out clean.

Then Rhett Blakesley walks back into her orbit. He’s a former Ranger, a mercenary who ruined her last job, and exactly as infuriating as he was before. They have history. Not the good kind. The kind she buried, right up until the moment he corners her, she breaks his nose, and they realize they are both hunting the same impossible prize.

ARC signups are now officially open for Liquid Gold by Alexandra Taylor, and if you are drawn to sharp-edged romance with real tension behind it, this is one to step into early.

Book Details:

Quinn Wolfe, a cunning and manipulative contract killer, has made a career of staying one step ahead; of her targets, of her dreams, and of the ghosts that whisper from the shadows of her past. With eyes set on greatness and tired of working for low-level scum, she finally gets her shot when Aubrey Kensington, a powerful CFO, hires her to retrieve a coveted algorithm.

Recognition, redemption, and revenge may finally be within reach.

That is, until Rhett Blakesley crashes back into her life.

A mercenary as charming as he is dangerous, he’s hunting the same prize. Forced into a volatile alliance, they embark on a globe-spanning chase, where the stakes rise beyond anything they’ve faced before.

To survive, Quinn and Rhett need to decide: destroy each other or burn the world down together.

As danger closes in from all sides, in a world where every shadow hides a lie, Quinn faces not just ruthless enemies but the demons she thought she’d left behind. She must confront the secrets she’s buried. And claim the ultimate prize.

I am looking for review readers who like their romantasy heroines messy, morally grey, and completely unwilling to be saved.

Melisandra is the kind of protagonist who will make you put the book down just to stare at the ceiling for a moment. She is not good. She is not trying to be good. She is trying to survive, and she is very, very good at that.

She is cunning, unsentimental, and genuinely morally grey in a way this genre rarely commits to. She has been surviving on the edges of a society that never made space for her, and she does not apologize for the choices that kept her alive. Tamerlin, meanwhile, is searching for someone to break an accidental curse, and the girl he finds is the last person he expected.

Your Heart to Seek by Sky Sommers is a Wonderland-reimagined dark romantasy, available now on Kindle Unlimited. This review tour is running ahead of the Book 2 ARC campaign. If you want first access to that early reader team, joining now is the move.

Book Details

Your Heart to Seek
Release date: 03 April 2026 (already published)
Distribution: Kindle Unlimited

Villains are not born. They’re made.
Melisandra was never meant for polite society. As the fatherless daughter of a witch, she has learned to beg, borrow, and steal her way toward respectability, because no one hands girls like her a future.
So the prince chose another girl. Fine. Mellie never planned on letting anyone into her frozen heart anyway.
At seventeen, she has a far simpler dream: escape Borough village and save enough coin to open her own beauty shop. How hard can it be to find a decent apothecary who needs an apprentice?

Tamerlin knows better than most how words spoken in anger can become an unbreakable curse. Traveling the neighboring lands incognito, he is searching for the one girl who might help him break his own. But what if the girl of his dreams isn’t the innocent she pretends to be?

Some choices shape monsters.
Because survival always demands a price.

What would you do to make sure you never went hungry again?

Mills and Cal have already done the impossible once. They found each other across time, built a life in a place that was never meant to be theirs, and carved out something steady in the middle of uncertainty. But peace in 1646 Scotland does not last, and this time, the threat is not just outside their walls.

It is woven into everything. Into the land, the clan tensions, the whispers of a curse that refuses to stay buried, and the growing sense that time itself is starting to turn against them.

And this time, they are not alone.

They have a family now. People who depend on them. People who could be trapped on the wrong side of history if something goes wrong.

ARC signups are now open for The Love Curse by Heather Grace Stewart, and if you’ve been following this series, you already know this is where the stakes are higher than ever. Every decision carries weight, and every step forward risks closing the only way back.

If you want early access to a story that blends Highland danger, found family, and a slow burn that finally has something real to lose, this is your moment to step in before release day.

  This time, they’re all in.
  
  They thought the portal was their biggest threat. But the curse,real or imagined, might be what tears their family apart.
  Thrown into 1646 Scotland, Amelia “Mills” Sutherland and Callum MacDowell have finally built a fragile peace with their growing family and the MacDowell clan. But when a rival clan threatens that hard‑won safety, the entire group is forced into a dangerous journey across the Highlands: Alistair’s sheepdog at their side, loyal hounds guiding the way, swords ready. And all the while, a portal that may close forever.
  As old grudges ignite and new alliances form, Mills and Cal must protect their clan and each other. Along the way, they face whispers of a curse, a brooch that glows when danger nears, and a mysterious newcomer who speaks of quantum entanglement, time loops, and a portal that’s alive.
  The deeper they travel into the Highlands, the clearer it becomes: they’re not just fighting enemies. They’re fighting time itself.
  If the portal closes, Mills, Cal, Loch, Cam, and Lila could be trapped on the wrong side forever. But Mills and Cal will tear through every clan and every curse to bring their family home.
  
  Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Seven Year Slip, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and Bridget Jones’s Diary, The Love Curse is a sweeping time‑travel romantic adventure filled with danger, devotion, found family, and a love that refuses to break.

Content Notes

• Grief, trauma recovery, panic episodes, historical danger (1646 Scotland), witch-trial threats, illness and healing, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure to mask or ‘fit in’ to survive. Includes references to violence and death, but nothing graphic.

• Language: Some swearing, including religious expletives (’Christ!’ and variations).

• Themes of found family, devotion, and reclaiming agency after loss.

• Heat Scale: Level 3 - Full Steam Ahead. Open-door scenes with poetic detail and emotionally charged intimacy. Think campfire glow, stolen moments in the dark, and that delicious ‘sneaking into her tent’ tension that finally tips into full-body closeness. Sensual, tender, and deeply connected. Enough steam to fog up your glasses, never graphic enough to scandalize your book club.

Caroline Ashford is a writer, dog mom, and wife, although not necessarily in that order. She writes stories that place women at the center and are unafraid to confront difficult, uncomfortable truths.

When she’s not writing, she’s usually spending time with her dog, enjoying quiet moments with her husband, or revisiting her favorite books to uncover details she might have missed the first time around.

She warned her captain not to leave the sol system.
He ignored her. Now the ship is dead, her crew is scattered, and Elsa has crash-landed on a frozen alien world ruled by massive, wolf-like predators who’ve never seen a human before.

The Alpha King claims her the moment he sees her.

Sylas is seven feet of fur, fangs, and barely restrained violence and he has decided she is his. His mate. His property. He places a silver collar around her throat, locks her inside his chambers, and dares her to fight him.

So she does.

Elsa is a navigator. She maps escape routes the way she breathes. Star charts, terrain, wind patterns. Anything that brings her one step closer to freedom. But Sylas is not just a monster king with claws capable of gutting her in a single swipe. He is patient. Possessive. And the strange psychic bond forming between them is making it harder to tell where his obsession ends and hers begins.

His court wants her dead. His enemies are circling.

And when the Blood Moon rises, an ancient ritual will force her to run and him to hunt.

A high school track athlete with a perverse hobby. A college heartthrob with a secret life. A dark coming-of-age psychological thriller about desire, obsession, and exposure.

Until the footage reveals something so disturbing it cracks Hunter’s life straight down the middle.

Now he’s trapped in a nightmare where desire leaves fingerprints and loyalty pulls triggers. The brother he thought he knew may be the most dangerous person in the room. And the only person Hunter can turn to is his best friend, Oscar, whose slow-burning connection with Hunter threatens to expose more than just secrets.

When the family you’re born into puts you at risk, the family you choose may be the only thing that keeps you alive.

Hunter’s Hidden Camera is an emotionally charged LGBTQ+ thriller exploring taboo obsession, slow-burn M/M tension, and the brutal cost of being seen.

Let none disturb what the labyrinth holds, lest the shadows wake to crave your soul.

Archaeologist Emmeline Ravenscroft dreamed of working alongside her parents in the field, but that dream shattered six years ago when the Egyptian dig site claimed her mother’s life. Haunted by whispers of her father’s madness and the unanswered questions of what really happened in the ancient tunnels, Emmeline has returned to Egypt to unearth the truth before it consumes her too.

As if scorching heat and skittering scorpions aren’t enough, the dig site presents another obstacle she doesn’t need—her insufferable rival, Julian Blackwood. When the labyrinth beneath the temple steals them both, they’re trapped in an inescapable nightmare.

As whispers turn into screams and ghosts claw their way into the light, Emmeline must face an impossible truth—her father wasn’t mad. The horrors below are real. And Julian, the man she swore to never trust, will stop at nothing to save her. Even if it costs his life, his humanity, and his soul.

A gothic romance woven with supernatural terror, aching devotion, and impossible choices. Perfect for fans of The Mummy, Lara Croft, and A Discovery of Witches.

This is a quick reminder that ARC sign-ups for The Silver Fox Crown by H.A. Shah are still open, but not for long. ARCs go out on 17 March 2026, ahead of the 31 March 2026 release, and we close the list before then.

If you missed the first post, here is what this one is about.

Seralyth Ashcroft is a rare silver fox shifter in a world that has been quietly erasing her kind for generations. Not through war. Through policy. Classification. Containment. When the system finds her again, she escapes with her life but loses the invisibility that kept her safe. What follows is a slow-burn romantasy built on political tension, earned trust, and four Crown Lords who have stayed away for years because they thought it was the right thing to do.

It is the first book in a new series, distributed on Kindle Unlimited, and it reads like the kind of book you want to finish before you talk to anyone about it.

The Silver Fox Crown

Release date: 31 March 2026
Distribution: Kindle Unlimited

Seralyth Ashcroft survived by staying quiet.
A rare silver fox shifter in a world ruled by Crowns and High Regents, she learned early that softness invited attention and attention was lethal. Foxes weren’t wiped out by war. They were erased by policy. Classified. Contained. Forgotten.
Until the system noticed her again.
Taken under the guise of a “welfare review,” Sera escapes with her life but not her anonymity. Now the calm machinery of authority is turning toward her, measuring her worth, her stability, her compliance.
And she is done complying.
The men she has loved since girlhood, four Crown Lords who once protected her by staying away, are suddenly closer than ever. A war commander who believes distance is safety. A shadowed predator who watches without speaking. A law-bound enforcer who sees every consequence. A massive guardian who knows how to stay when asked.
They tell her it’s dangerous to want them.
She agrees. And chooses them anyway.
Because foxes don’t heal fast.
They endure. They adapt. They outlast the systems meant to erase them.
And if loving them makes her visible,
then let the world look.

Claire Thompson is the one people call when their lives are falling apart.

For years, she built a reputation in Washington, D.C. as the attorney who could manage any crisis, make any scandal disappear, fix anything. But when her carefully constructed career and the marriage tied to it implodes, she calls her sister and escapes to small town California to catch her breath and figure out who she is when no one expects her to bill in six minute increments.

In Alderidge, Claire rediscovers the things she once loved, friendships that don’t revolve around power or politics, and finds herself journaling increasingly creative ways to fictionalize the demise of her ex-husband, which may or may not be what her therapist would recommend.

Then there is Ryan, a quiet, slightly mysterious vacationer who spends an awful lot of time in the local diner and seems to understand her dark humor better than anyone should. Their conversations start as a distraction but turn into something more as Claire begins to imagine a future defined not by what she lost, but by what she might choose next.

The Life We Write is a warm, witty story about second chances, creative courage, and the risk of opening your life to new things after it has been professionally and personally dismantled. It is about the stories we tell ourselves to survive and the ones we dare to write when we are finally ready to begin again.

Ava’s my teammate’s girlfriend and off limits. She’s bruised in places she won’t let me see. All I’m supposed to be is her friend. But every Tuesday in that cinema, I fall harder for a woman I can’t have.

I’d burn my career to keep her safe. What I can’t do is tell her that I’m falling in love with her, because it would destroy our friendship and my team.

AVA

I’m a professional dancer trapped in a toxic relationship. My boyfriend’s temper is escalating. My injury is threatening my ballet career. And the only person I trust is the quietest, largest man in Scottish rugby.

Scottie doesn’t ask questions. He shows up. When my relationship finally shatters, he gets me out, drives me to the Highlands, and opens the door to a family that treats me as one of their own.

The problem? I’m falling for my friend. And if I cross that line, I’ll lose the only person who ever made me feel safe.

Sacked by Surprise is a friends to lovers rugby romance and the third standalone in the Scottish Rugby Rebels series.

Locked inside his fortress and wearing a silver collar she never asked for, Elsa does the only thing she knows how to do. She starts mapping her way out.

But escape becomes complicated when the monster who captured her begins to look less like an enemy and more like the only one willing to protect her from a court that wants her dead.

Release date: 03/04/2026
Distribution: Kindle Unlimited

She warned her captain not to leave the sol system.
He ignored her. Now the ship is dead, her crew is scattered, and Elsa has crash-landed on a frozen alien world ruled by massive, wolf-like predators who’ve never seen a human before.

The Alpha King claims her the moment he sees her.

Sylas is seven feet of fur, fangs, and barely restrained violence and he has decided she is his. His mate. His property. He places a silver collar around her throat, locks her inside his chambers, and dares her to fight him.

So she does.

Elsa is a navigator. She maps escape routes the way she breathes. Star charts, terrain, wind patterns. Anything that brings her one step closer to freedom. But Sylas is not just a monster king with claws capable of gutting her in a single swipe. He is patient. Possessive. And the strange psychic bond forming between them is making it harder to tell where his obsession ends and hers begins.

His court wants her dead. His enemies are circling.

And when the Blood Moon rises, an ancient ritual will force her to run and him to hunt.

Marianne Rousseau’s husband died in a boating accident.

At least, that’s what the police report says.

Savannah society offered condolences. No one asked questions.

But Marianne knows what happened the night her husband’s boat exploded. She knows about the affair. The lies. The plans he made to leave her with nothing.

And now, with his fortune finally hers, she escapes to a secluded Caribbean resort to put the past and the guilt behind her. Except the past isn’t done with her.

His cologne lingers in empty rooms. Mirrors fog with accusations she can’t wipe away. Anonymous messages arrive, each one more threatening than the last: You know what you did.

Is it guilt unraveling her?

Or is someone watching?

Then blackmail threatens to expose the truth and the island closes in around her, Marianne faces a choice: confess to a crime she may or may not have committed or fight to protect the life she’s built on lies.

Because the only thing more dangerous than a guilty conscience is someone who knows your secrets.

For readers who crave morally complex heroines, atmospheric suspense, and stories where justice isn’t always clean. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, and Lisa Jewell.

Smile for the camera.

A high school track athlete with a perverse hobby. A college heartthrob with a secret life. A dark coming-of-age psychological thriller about desire, obsession, and exposure.

Hunter seems to have it all: brains, biceps, and a bright future beyond the halls of his oppressive high school. He also has a private obsession he knows is wrong: secretly recording his older brother, Nash, with a hidden spy cam. What starts as a thrill becomes a power trip.

Until the footage reveals something so disturbing it cracks Hunter’s life straight down the middle.

Now he’s trapped in a nightmare where desire leaves fingerprints and loyalty pulls triggers. The brother he thought he knew may be the most dangerous person in the room. And the only person Hunter can turn to is his best friend, Oscar, whose slow-burning connection with Hunter threatens to expose more than just secrets.

When the family you’re born into puts you at risk, the family you choose may be the only thing that keeps you alive.

Hunter’s Hidden Camera is an emotionally charged LGBTQ+ thriller exploring taboo obsession, slow-burn M/M tension, and the brutal cost of being seen.
