ARC Readers Wanted ♡

Okay, bestie.

This is not a drill.

I am officially looking for ARC readers for The J to My B Series, which means I need romance readers who are emotionally prepared to read early, possibly cry, probably blush, maybe yell at a fictional man, and then leave an honest review when the book goes live.

Very casual.

Very normal.

Extremely stable behavior.

For anyone new here, ARC stands for Advance Reader Copy. Basically, selected readers get early access to a book before release day. In exchange, they are invited to read early and leave an honest review when the book is live.

And before anyone panics: honest means honest.

You are never required to leave a positive review. You are never expected to fake-love anything. I want real readers, real reactions, real thoughts, and real romance-reader chaos.

Preferably with snacks nearby.

What You’ll Get as an ARC Reader

ARC readers may receive:

• early access to upcoming Briar Edenbrook releases

• behind-the-scenes book updates

• bonus content and sneak peeks

• occasional deleted scenes or exclusive extras

• first look at messy love stories before everyone else

• the honor and burden of meeting fictional men before they are publicly problematic

Basically, you get to enter the emotional disaster early.

Lucky you.

Who This ARC Team Is Perfect For

This might be for you if you love:

messy romance

dirty messages

forbidden chemistry

healing heroines

complicated men with audacity

chosen family chaos

grief with jokes

slow burns that test your patience and your sanity

books that make you text your friend “I AM NOT OKAY”

The J to My B Series is for readers who want their romance sexy, emotional, funny, devastating, healing, and a little bit unhinged in the best way.

What I Ask From ARC Readers

Nothing scary. Nothing weird. No secret blood oath.

Just this:

Please read the ARC two week before release week.

Please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, TikTok, Instagram, your blog, or wherever you share book love.

Do not share, upload, copy, sell, or distribute ARC files.

Please keep major spoilers private unless clearly marked.

Please remember that reviews should always be honest and voluntary.

That’s it.

Be kind. Be real. Be ready to possibly have feelings about a man named Jayden Rivera.

Current ARC Focus

I am currently building my ARC reader list for:

The Chat: Book One in The J to My B Series

One anonymous message. One Chicago man with way too much charm. One connection neither of them knows how to quit.

If you like anonymous chat romance, forbidden chemistry, emotional slow burn, dirty-talking heroes, toxic marriage survival, “he calls her B” energy, and messy love that feels too real, this book might be your next emotional support problem.

Apply to Join

Want in?

Apply here: Join Briars ARC Team

You’ll be asked for your name, email, review platforms, social links if you have them, and a little about what you love to read.

You do not need a huge following to apply.

You do not need to be an influencer.

You just need to genuinely love romance, be willing to read early, and understand the sacred responsibility of not leaking the emotional damage before release day.

Tiny Love Note

Indie authors do not grow alone.

Every reader who signs up, reads early, posts a review, shares a quote, screams in the comments, tells a friend, or gives a book a chance helps that story find someone else who might need it.

So if you apply: thank you.

If you share this with a romance reader friend: thank you.

If you are just here cheering from the snack table: honestly, also thank you. We need snacks.

With love, coffee, and fictional chaos,

Briar ♡

P.S. Apply to join the ARC Team and come spiral early. The group chat is open, and the fictional men are already making questionable choices.
