Review Requests

If you have an e-book or printed book that you’d like me to review, please read the info below on how I handle review requests/book submissions.

Currently I LOVE “Chick Lit” and contemporary romance with bad boy (especially rock star) heroes. I also enjoy paranormal alpha heroes with human heroines (whether they be urban fantasy or paranormal romance), however I am not opposed to reading other genres. I love to read everything, but these are my current “thrill”. Also, while I do read (and enjoy) YA, my current focus is on adult books or stories about “college aged” and/or older characters.

Books and series that I have absolutely loved:

Paranormal

• J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series
• Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series
• Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series
• Lynsay Sands’ Argeneau Vampires
• Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series

Contemporary Romance (LOVED these!!)

• Jamie McGuire’s Beautiful Disaster (ultimate “bad boy”)
• Tina Reber’s Love Unscripted (famous actor falls in love with “normal” girl…)
• Jessica Park’s Flat Out Love (awesome and exciting twist)
• S.C. Stephens’ Thoughtless and Effortless (most intense love triangle ever)
• E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey series (most addictive “emotionally tortured” alpha male hero)
• I haven’t read that much in contemporary romance, yet… maybe you can help?

As you can see, I am a HUGE fan of indie / self-pub work.

I’m always open to new books and series, but I’ve also got a large “to be read” list, going at all times. While recently I’ve been known to deviate from my planned reading list (when I need a “genre change” to refresh me, or something really catches my eye), I do try to stick to a certain reading schedule.

Feel free to send your book my way if you’d like, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll read it or review it. Please feel free to email your epub or .mobi book to itsmaryse@gmail.com

I read on my iPad (mostly using the Kindle app) and almost every book ever sent to me has ended up on it. When I burn out on a genre I always look to my submissions section for new books and new genres to recharge with. If I do read your book and am able to review it, I will let you know when I publish the review.

These are “terms” simply because I needed something to say here I get many emails asking if I’ll review a book, and I’m always honored to be considered. While I wish I could read everything sent to me, time constraints and the fact that I review almost everything I do read, means that I am limited in reading time.

Please don’t take this to mean that I wouldn’t love to hear from you, and about your book.

I would! Seriously….

And even if time won’t allow me to read your book, I do mention books that I’ve found intriguing (even if i haven’t read them yet), to my fellow readers. (I am very lucky that I have a current readership that is as much as many print magazines! check me out on compete.com and compare me to other bloggers who charge for ads / placement.) 10/2011

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you.
