FREE BOOKS for Book lovers: ARC & Polished Manuscript Readers for Authors discussion

I like YA fantasy, romance, and mystery books the best so I will be able to review books in those genres much better! I am open to physical books or on kindle! I can leave a honest review on goodreads for you! Thanks!

If it’s a romance book I prefer little no to spice! Preferably a closed door romance

Hi Xaviana! I have a 50k Victorian era Romantic Suspense novel. It's closed door romance, although it does deal with some heavy themes. If you're interested or want to know more, please let me know!

Blurb:
Mabel Lawrence finds herself thrown out of her family home after she is rejected by her new sister-in-law. In order to survive, she takes a position as a governess in a remote mansion in Yorkshire. But rumors of strange deaths of young women at her new home, along with intense scrutiny from the townsfolk, leave her feeling more lost and lonely than ever.
Steven Herriot fled Longshore estate after the suspicious death of his sister twelve years ago. But when he returns for a gamekeeper position that is too good to pass up, the mystery still haunts him. Torn between the desire to find out the truth and the desire to protect his own heart, he forms an alliance with Mabel to investigate the secrets of the house.
Will they uncover the answers in time to find love and safety or will the darkness overtake them?

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.

Hello, I published the first volume of the series inspired by a real character, Raimondello Orsini del Balzo, set in the Italian Middle Ages. It's a historical adventure novel. I would need honest reviews to help it grow. Would you help me?
