Calla Lilies and Roses by G.J. Arellano, book cover

Be among the very first to read Calla Lilies & Roses

Hello, and welcome! I’m so happy you’re here.

An ARC, or Advance Reader Copy, is a free early copy of a book that I share with a small group of readers before it’s released. My ARC readers are the first people to step into Chris’s story, and the ones who help it find its way to other readers on release day.

If you love romance and suspense, and cheering for a strong woman finding her way back to herself, I would be honored to have you on the team. You don’t need to be a professional reviewer. You just need to love a good story.

A QUICK HEADS-UPCalla Lilies & Roses is romantic suspense with mature themes, including stalking and its emotional aftermath. Please read with care.

QUESTIONS

I’ve never been an ARC reader. Can I still join?

Absolutely! New readers are very welcome. I’ll be honored to be your first ARC.

Does my review have to be five stars?

Not at all. I only ask that your review is honest and that you share it in your own words.

What’s the difference between EPUB and PDF?

EPUB works with most e-readers and reading apps, such as Kindle (via email), Apple Books and Kobo. A PDF opens on nearly any phone, tablet or computer. If you’re not sure, choose the one that sounds easiest for you.

Will I definitely be accepted?

I’d love to say yes to everyone, but spots are limited. If you aren’t chosen this time, I truly appreciate your interest and hope you’ll still join me on release day.
