Fret not.  If you're an American author, she will accept an electronic ARC, though she prefers Print.
.
She'll review on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month.
.
Here's what she's looking for in her own words-
.
I'd love to review more fantasy, especially urban fantasy. Particularly fond of books like Maria V Snyder's Study series.    http://www.mariavsnyder.com/books.php
.
Paranormal Romance - possibly the milder ones (if they exist!) but I do enjoy them.
.
YA especially paranormal, steampunk, fantasy, dystopian, (vampires and faeries are welcoem)
.
Thrillers along the lines of Matthew Reilly's Ice Station
.
I'm particularly keen on books with a strong female protag, lots of action and adventure (like you I loved Amazon Ink). Humour is always welcome.
.
Thanks, Nayuleska!  And welcome aboard.

New Reviewers Needed

If you love Fantasy, Mystery or Romantic Suspense, and/or books which would typically be segregated to the African American or other non-Caucasion shelf in your local bookstore, we'd love to have you on board here.
.
My policy here is to only review books we like or love.  No Snark.  No Horror or Erotica or Erotic Romance.
.
I believe in helping readers with similar interests find the books they'll love.
.
Especially if you're an aspiring author, book reviewing can be a major learning curve.
.
Once you're known, you'll likely receive all the free Advanced Reviewers Copies you can handle.

Reviewer: Kimber An

Moderating and reviewing here at Enduring Romance is ME, Kimber An.  Blame it on Tendonitis, but I can only accept Print ARCs. 
.
Right now, I'm looking for Historical Romance, along the lines of Michelle Willingham and Lynna Banning.  Regular Historicals are welcome too.  I love Michelle Moran's books.  My favorite time periods are Ancient History and 1900's through the end of World War II.  If the characters 'feel' too contemporary, I won't go for it.  I majored in History, you know.  No Regencies.  Nothing hotter than 'Sensual,' please.
.
Science Fiction for Middle Grade and Young Adult are welcome.  Stories must be Character Driven.  Girl heroes preferred.
.
Science Fiction Romance.    No Kick-Butt Heroines, unless they're also mommies or the author is Linnea Sinclair or Susan Grant.  No former or current Sex Slave or Servent or Harem stories.  I strongly prefer Fun & Adventure over Dark & Gritty.  Sweet, Mildly Sensual, or Sensual Heat Levels Only.
.
Time Travel Stories of any kind.
.
General Fiction, like LOTTERY by Patricia Wood, or non-typical Women's Fiction, like MAN OF THE HOUSE, are welcome.
.
Non-Fiction haveing to do with Childcare, Quick and Nutritious Cooking, and Household Management may interest me.
.
Paranormal Romance or Urban Fantasy along the style of AMAZON INK by Lori Devoti.  No blood-sucking dead guys, unless they're alien in origin, and absolutely no were-hamsters, or were-anything.  I do like Shapeshifters though and anything which puts a scientific spin on mythology.
.
Steampunk
.
If your novel made my Top Ten List for 2009, odds are good I'll want to review your next book.

.
I'm going to be very selective, because I can only review once a month.
.
Thank you!

Reviewer: Rebecca Lynn

Still on board Enduring Romance is Rebecca Lynn.  She prefers electronic ARCs, but also takes Print.  Right now, she's looking to review Historicals and Inspirationals, but she'd also like Steampunk and Foodie Romances.  She reviews on Tuesdays.

New Reviewer- REBECCA LYNN!

Swinging in like Jane who needs no Tarzan, Rebecca Lynn is coming aboard Enduring Romance right at a time when I need her the most, what with my hands being shot with Tendonitis these days.  Rebecca will be reviewing on Tuesdays.  Group hug!  Also, pop over and check out her blog.  I swear it's the coolest one I've ever seen, all purple and black.

Feeling Better

I'm not really back, but I hope to be back by next week...with radical changes to my computer time.  It's taken this long for my hands to stop throbbing.  Tendonitis is a drag.  Besides blogging, I also have four children, you know, one of whom is a baby who requires my hands a lot.  Also, I'm entering the final stages of revising a novel I've written.  Those two things take priority over blogging.  However, this blog ranks first on my blogging priorities.  I'll keep it, but I'll cut back to one review per month. 
.
Just got the ARC for XOMBIES APOCALYPTICON by Walter Greatshell and am very excited about it.
.
I am not accepting new ARCs.
.
I encourage authors to contact one of my fellow reviewers.

Meet the Enduring Romance Reviewers!

Good morning, Blog Buds!

To kick off the new season of Enduring Romance, I thought I'd re-introduce you to your reviewers here. Fellow reviewers, if you're not listed here and you still want to review for us, please let me now. I did email everyone, so maybe your message got sucked down a black hole in Cyberspace.

.

First up - ME! I started Enduring Romance a while back, two years ago, I think, after my book reviewing overwhelmed my personal blog, Star Captains' Daughter. http://starcaptainsdaughter.blogspot.com/ After a while, book reviewing overwhelmed me here too and I began to recruit other reviewers to help out. Real Life can be overwhelming to anyone and we don't get paid here. We all have very full real lives, so some of us have had to give up reviewing at Enduring Romance and we totally understand this. Please, be very nice to my fellow reviewers and understand our opinions our subjective. If you have a problem, email me. I'm the moderator here. I had a baby this summer, so I'm just getting back into my groove. I've had to fold my Young Adult Science Fiction blog into this one in order to keep reviewing for my younger friends. On the second Thursday of each month, I'll post a review of a novel of interest to teens, whether it's officially labeled as that or not. These novels will be Science Fiction flavored as much as possible. Popular, bestselling, and otherwise trendy YA will be avoided. Totally respect Stephanie Meyers, but I figure she gets enough publicity. I'll review growed-up novels on the fourth Tuesdays of each month. I already have a healthy stack of ARCs with a well-balanced variety of genres and subgenres. If you have a book for me to review, please understand I probably won't get to it until after Christmas, unless you're one of my favorite authors in which case you'll probably jump the line altogether. I'm happy to review Print or eBooks.

.

My Showcase Sunday (author and book news) will be the Third Sundays of each month. The other reviewers can post theirs that day or whenever they like. Please remember to scroll down on Showcase Sundays, as there's likely to be multiple posts.

.

Next up, ROBIN. Also known as Mystery Robin, she's expanding her stack now. An aspiring author, she's tackled Mysteries and Suspense novels for us here in the past. I think she still likes them, but she also wants to do more literary fiction. She'll be posting her review on Third Thursdays. Pop on over to her blog to get to know her a little better. Please understand she's also a very busy mom! She prefers Print ARCs. http://mysteryrobin.blogspot.com/

.

Mfitz is our Science Fiction girl. Oh, sure, I review SF too, but just here and there. She's much more focused and knows a lot more and a lot deeper than I do. She's going to post her reviews on the Fourth Thursdays of each month. Pop on over to her blog to get acquinted. http://maryfitz.typepad.com/my_weblog/ She prefers Print ARCs and will take non-traditional Fantasy too, but no bestseller knock-offs please.

.

"K" has the same first name as me, 'Kimber,' so she goes by 'K' here to avoid confusion. Already a published author, she writes Romance in a business setting.

She loves to read Historical Romances and Regencies. She PREFERS eBooks! She'll be reviewing on First Thursdays. Pop on over to her blog to learn more. http://businessromance.com/

.

Please contact each reviewer individually to send ARCs. Fellow reviewers, if you want to add or correct something please don't hesitate!

Lil Bean's only getting me up once a night now and Enduring Romance is back on a regular schedule. Ahh, now all I need is come dark chocolate.
