ARC Review Team

aka, Team Lemmon

You know the feeling when you finish a romance novel and immediately feel the need to tell everyone you know? If yes, I have an invitation for you. 🥰

Team Lemmon is a dedicated group of readers who receive ARCs of my books and share an honest review during release week. That’s the trade: an early copy for a few honest words when the book goes live!

A reader’s review is the single biggest way a new book finds its people, so you are quite literally my boots on the ground!

Here’s how the Team Lemmon ARC Team works.

  • A few weeks before release, I’ll send you a link to the book.

  • You read it, and post an honest review on Amazon (plus Goodreads or BookBub) within a week of release day.

  • Honest is the key word! Your review doesn’t have to be five stars. Real readers sharing real opinions is the best.

This is for you if you if:

  • You love romance and actually finish the books you start

  • Can post a review on time, around release week

  • Get a thrill out of reading first and before everyone else does

Want in?

Take two minutes to read the Team Lemmon guidelines below and then fill out the form to be considered. If you are accepted, I’ll be in touch via email to let you know.

PS, I read every application personally.

Thank you in advance for being the kind of reader who shows up.

Team Lemmon Guidelines 🍋

What you receive:

An early copy of my upcoming books in ebook via a link provided by my publisher a few weeks* before release day.

What you agree to:

  1. Post an honest review on Amazon, plus Goodreads or BookBub, within one week of release day

  2. A fair and kind review is always appreciated

  3. Mention that you received an advance copy in your review. A simple line like “I received an early copy in exchange for an honest review” keeps everything above board

General housekeeping:

  • The link provided to you is ONLY for you. You agree to keep it private and never share or forward the link or the file with anyone. If someone you know would like to be considered for my ARC team, please send them to this page. This privacy is what allows me (and my publisher) to keep doing this.

  • No spoilers in public posts, please. Let the next reader have the same first-time magic you did.

  • Be kind. Honest and kind are not opposites. 💛

Staying on the team:

  1. Life happens, and one missed review won’t get you booted!

  2. Please do give me a heads-up, however, so that I know not to expect your review.

  3. If two releases go by in a row with no review, you will be moved from the list so that I can keep spots open for active reviewers.

  4. You’re ALWAYS welcome to reapply. No hard feelings.

After you post:

  • Provide your review links in the quick “I posted my review!” form (I’ll send it on release day) so I can say thank you and keep track. That’s it.

Leaving:

  • You can step away anytime. Just reply to any email and let me know. No guilt, ever. 💛

Thank you spreading the word about my books. Your loyalty as a reader matters more than you know. Like I always say…

You keep reading. I’ll keep writing.

xo,
Jessica 🍋

*In the case of a book that is being released by a publisher, the timing is decided by the publisher. I appreciate your flexibility and patience, and will send you the link as soon as I have it.
