Yes, I take review requests!! I am a crazy reader and always on the look out for my next book. Sadly, I work at a non-profit and have a limited book budget each month. I like to get creative with things and do galleys and have this little blog. I am always up for free books!!
I post my reviews on Goodreads Amazon and here if I really liked the book. I am open to posting other locations if the author requests them.
Now, before you send me a book or request here are a few things you should know:
1. I am not the kind of reviewer who regurgitates the book blurb or breaks the story down in a synopsis.
2. I like to keep it simple. Did I like the book, why and why not? How steamy did things get? I am not a writer just a reader so do not expect purple prose in my reviews!
3. I do not do spoilers. I hate having the book given away and try not to do it to others.
4. I give honest but fair reviews. Check out my posts to see examples or see my Goodreads or Amazon reviews.
5. I have a big thing about reading series in order. If you book is not the first book in a set please offer up the whole series for review. And I never believe that a series book can also be a standalone.
6. Give me a little time to read! I am a speed reader but I also have my personal reading I like to squeeze in from time to time!
7. It you have specific materials you would like me to include in a post you need to get them to me in a timely manner.
8. Share the love! I am always open to giveaways of books, ebooks or swag. I don't mind a little myself either!
9. While it seems like I read everything I can be a touch picky. So, do not be offended if I do not choose to review your book. But feel free to try me again on future books.
10. I respond to every request and email I receive. But it might take a day or so, cause I have that good ole day job.

Hi, I'm writing under the pen name Caitlyn O'Leary. My MFM HEA, is coming out with Siren on 4/15. It is the first in a Series. The second comes out on 5/15. I would love to send you an ARC. I would also love to do a give away, blog. I read what you said, you can only get to what you can get to. Makes sense to me. :) First book is really touchy/feely. Second book is more action adventure. Third book in series is going to be more funny. Fourth book in series is back to action adventure with BDSM. Hope you will consider me. - Thanks Katie/Caitlyn Caitlyn_oleary@yahoo.com
