Review Policy & Submissions

We welcome review requests from authors, publishers and publicists. Please read this page before you get in touch.

What we review

• Romance and romantic fiction with a genuine slow burn — the relationship develops over most of the story or across a series
• All pairings and representation: M/F, F/F, M/M, and the wider LGBTQ+ spectrum
• All subgenres: contemporary, historical, fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi, suspense, cozy and more
• Any heat level, from sweet to extra spicy
• Traditionally published, small press and self-published titles; adult and young adult

What we do not review

• Books where the romance is only a minor thread
• Instalove or fast-burn romance, unless it is for a comparison post

How to submit

Use the contact form and choose "Review request". Include the title, author, publication date, a short blurb, burn speed, heat level and ending type in your own words, and the formats you can offer (e-ARC, print, audio).

Our promise

• We read every book we review in full.
• A free copy never guarantees a review, and it never guarantees a positive one.
• Every review discloses how we got the book.
• We cannot reply to every request, but we read them all.
