BEFORE YOU TURN THE PAGE

A few things to know.

Do I need a following?+

No. Enthusiastic readers are welcome alongside established reviewers and book creators. Tell us where you share books, if anywhere.

Will I receive free books?+

Some future opportunities may include digital advance reader copies. Signing up expresses interest; it does not guarantee a book, placement, payment, or invitation.

What do you expect from reviewers?+

Honest opinions in your own words. A positive review is never a condition of receiving a copy. If you receive a free book or another benefit, disclose it clearly when you share.

What about content warnings?+

Dark romance can explore intense and sensitive themes. Check each book’s content notes before choosing to read. You can decline any opportunity.

Your information, thoughtfully handled.

We store the name, email, reading preferences, and optional platform details you submit to manage the reader list and match book opportunities. We don’t display your application publicly. To leave the list, request a correction, or ask for deletion, reply to any email from us. We won’t share your contact details with an author without asking you first.
