What Readers are Saying About Hidden Gems

The quality of books you get are actually very good and I enjoy being able to review books and give feedback.

I love this service! Hidden Gems offers a fantastic daily selection of advance review books and provides a helpful nudge email to remind you when you’ve forgotten to leave a review. They have so many great titles and authors, it’s hard to choose!

Hidden Gems is the best ARC team that I have participated in. They put you in control of selecting the genre and book you are willing to review as they become available. Many ARC groups are for a specific author or you must read everything you are sent regardless if it’s something you want to read or not. With Hidden Gems you only request what you are interested in. The process is so simple and organized. You know exactly when to expect the ARC to be sent and when it’s due. HG’s variety of authors has exposed me to some that I hadn’t read before and am grateful to have reviewed.

5 Tips for Social Media that Sells Books

Advertising and Marketing | Ginger | December 13, 2019

The most successful authors I know have one thing in common, they not only spend time on social media, but they do it right.  For some, social media comes easy but for others, it’s a grind. There are ways to make it easier, though, and even if you just do a little it’ll be better than doing nothing at all.  But you can’t just spam them with links to buy your latest book, there’s more to it than that… There’s a lot of money in social media… apparently. But a lot of authors I speak to don’t seem to be seeing any of it, or don’t know how to leverage their social media platforms to generate engagement and sales. One common refrain is: “I don’t really know what to post” and for that reason, they don’t post anything.  Other authors spend time and effort posting links to their books and… Read More >

Get lost and fall in love again in the small town of Seaview, Maine. Passion and international espionage ignite in this captivating and enchanting contemporary romance.

This can be read as a standalone – over and over again if desired. šŸ˜‰

Caught in a web of secrets and lies, Ronan McAllister is forced into retirement from the CIA and returns to his hometown. While his family welcomes him home with open arms, he struggles to leave his past behind through the thick fog of PTSD.

Payson Roberts is mostly content with her quiet life in Seaview, Maine. Ever the optimist, she wants to find a perfect partner in her great life, but her fruitless search is starting to wear down her eternally sunny demeanor. As a favor to her best friend, and against her better judgment, she agrees to hire her friendā€™s irritable, jackass of a brother to help out around her beloved antique shop.

Incendiary sparks fly – the unpleasant kind at first, then the good kind. Ronan pushes the fairy-eyed Payson away with insults and offense to save her from himself. Can Ronan protect Payson from the dangers of his past?
