Hi, Addison, I was wondering if you'd like an ARC of my book A Chance For Happiness, an erotica bisexual romance in exchange for a review.

If you're interested, you can find it on Booksirens using the link below

https://booksirens.com/book/OR0149V/T...


SYNOPSIS

Nessie Howard is an aspiring actor trying to break free of the life mapped out for her. When the gig of a lifetime turns into an absolute nightmare, she meets Chance Camden, a rich white boy with a voracious appetite she doesn't quite mind. What was supposed to be a one time thing leads to Nessie getting swept up in a world of New York elites and debutantes with vendettas.

Nessie knows she's way in over her head but Chance is fast becoming a drug she's addicted to. And with the threat of their erotic transaction blossoming into something more, she finds herself making a choice that could very well change the course of her entire existence. But she knows that whichever choice she ends up making, someone's gonna get hurt — and that someone could very well be her.

Follow Nessie and Chance as they weave through the trials of love, sex and friendships that spawns into found family, knowing the only way they can get by is to give themselves A CHANCE FOR HAPPINESS.


I hope you find it a worthy read.

Hello Addison,

I recently released my first book in the Bane War series, https://www.amazon.com/Fury-Bane-War-...

Series theme is Heaven's angels, technological beings, waging eternal war against Navia's demons, magical beings. 5000 years ago they signed a peace treaty, but now wage war through proxies. Yava is the latest battleground.

Saffa is this book's protagonist, a sassy battlemage wielding a longsword while casting fire and ice magic.

The book takes inspiration from Slavic mythology and Ukraine's fight for freedom.

I had 3 women beta read and they gave mostly positive feedback, but now I'm trying to get more eyes and brains on the story. I'm eager to improve the dark fantasy and romance pieces, as I have at least six more books planned.

Genre is DESR (dark epic science romantasy). Content rating is MA.

If you are interested in reading, let me know via message or email to author@banewar.com, and I can get you a hardback, paperback, or .epub copy, whatever you want.

How would you rate it/recommend it to a minor? I am only 15 and some reviews say that non-adults should not read this. I am only asking for an idea and will decide from there.

Hi Melina, is it available outside US also in paperback giveaways or as an ARC?

Hi Addison,

I have written a book on my personal experience of domestic violence. I was in a relationship with a narcissist psychopath that was a manifestation of generational traumas and emotional wounds. I found my way out by freeing myself from the damaging influence of my family and learning to really love myself.

I would love to receive your feedback and opinion. If you are interested let me know and I will send you a copy.

Thank you!

Hi,

Your story sounds interesting to read. I would give you a heads up though that I do have many other things in my schedule so it would not get done right away. If you are fine with that then you can a copy my way.

Hi Addison!
I'd be thrilled if you'd consider reading and reviewing my book - Poinsettia Lane. It's a small town, slow burn romance with found family and all the feel good vibes - a perfect read as a palette cleanser or when you're in the mood for something lighter and easier.

Blurb:
What do accidental stalking, panic attacks, and landscaping have in common?

Everly’s life is exactly as it should be, until her estranged sister comes back to town the same day Asim Jabbar knocks on her door, nearly knocking Everly off her slipper-clad feet and her anxious heart right out of her chest.

After the flirtiest plant delivery of her life, Everly tries to find her Hot Delivery Guy without becoming a stalker, then digs herself into a hole when she enlists his help re-landscaping her yard. An already immaculate yard that does not need any new plants.

Asim agrees, on one condition: that Everly get her perfectly manicured hands dirty and join him. Despite Asim turning her life upside down, Everly can't stop thinking about the muscular, tattooed plant dad.

But when Asim’s world collapses and past scars threaten their future, Everly doesn’t realize all that Asim has sacrificed for her until it’s too late.

Blurb
Sadistic work coach James Burgess has finally bagged his dream job after three years of trying, two hundred miles from home in rural Gwynedd, north Wales. But with promotion firmly in mind, cutting the jobcentre's wage bill soon becomes his sport, at any cost, leaving a trail of chaos and hunger in his wake.

As house prices soar and job prospects dwindle, many of James' ''casualties of war'' wind up at Morywelon homeless hostel, where the waiting list is insatiable. Managing such a place takes gall, and Denise Groves' ten-year stint certainly took its psychological toll. But she's back for a second spell, to the job she loved and held since leaving school with no GCSEs.

The catch? Well, this time, their security guards have been laid off...

Denise fiercely defends residents against ignorant scorn the wider community assumes to inflict, so is held in the highest regard by most. But tough decisions must be made, and hell-raisers don't always leave when asked nicely...

Denise needs her support network more than ever, but it's fallen off a cliff. After a decade in the 'single lane', all best mate Jules wants is to set her up. Great, if only for Jules' dodgy choice of men. Seedy, serial cockney scammer Rick is her latest, and has a few turbulent potential answers for Denise's 'problem'.

Hi, I'm currently looking for reviewers for this book:

Two Novellas

Two life-affirming stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations.

The Golden Flyswatter takes us to a retro dive bar in Santa Monica, California, where young Natalie Schoenfeldt, an ingenue from Wisconsin, gets a job cocktailing. She soon realizes that the patrons are not who they seem, and Hollywood opportunities may not be either.

The Walk of Washington takes us to present-day Philadelphia, where a young filmmaker is playing piano to pay the rent. When he meets an older gentleman who looks a lot like Benjamin Franklin, the most excellent adventure of his young adult life begins.

The book is called Wishmen and I'd love to send you an ARC if you want to give it a read.

Hi!
I'm a debut romance author. My book is coming out Aug. 30 2025.

For the month of July I would like to give my book away for free. I would appreciate an honest review, but even that is optional.

If you are interested here is a download link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vq8s...

The book is 'The Governor's Daughter : A Contemporary Romance about Truth, Freedom, Beauty and Love' by Parker Williamson

Camilla Reyes was raised with all the qualities the United States expects from a Pacific territory: beauty, wealth, and obedience. But when she publicly champions independence for her homeland of Hangua, defying her father—the island's powerful governor—the colony erupts in chaos. To contain the fallout, Camilla is forced into an arranged marriage.

Desperate to escape, Camilla strikes a deal with the last man she'd ever trust: Senator Julian Oz, the sharp-tongued politician who humiliated her on live television. Experienced and ruthlessly disciplined, Julian sees opportunity in Camilla as dangerous attraction ignites between them—under his tutelage, they go from enemies to lovers. To survive, she must become the perfect partner to a man who’s either using her… or falling for her.

This puts her on a collision course with Mari Cruz—Camilla’s best friend. From friend to lover, now lover to enemy, they shared one kiss too many before Camilla’s engagement to Julian shattered everything. As tensions escalate between the United States and China, the two women who once shared everything now face each other on opposite sides of Hangua's most divisive fight: statehood or independence—a battle that will determine their island's fate.

On Hangua, politics is legacy, love is currency, and betrayal is the price of freedom.

For fans of Enemies to Lovers, Arranged Marriages, Fake Engagements, Sapphic Love, Political Romance and Love Triangles.

Hi! Do you like urban fantasy? I'm looking for readers for my 3rd book in the series. I'm also offering to send the first two (one at a time) so you can get caught up. Which means, I'd understand if your review comes a little later than launch day.

Here's the blurb:
Since Hally’s fated-friend, Nolan, upended her exile mere months ago, they’ve saved the elven realm from a ruthless mage, a deadly curse, and a war with the fae. Now terrorists have struck the elven capital and the royals are being held hostage. It’s Hally and Nolan to the rescue, again.
Despite a family crisis in Paris, they’re forced to drop everything and scramble for an open portal as the network collapses. Every victory has a cost and as secrets surface and sacrifices mount, Hally and Nolan must ask themselves: can they save the realm without losing each other?
