New to the team? Detailed instructions can be found below. Welcome!
Well hello, Team!
If you've been opening my emails, you knew this was coming!
So here it is-- the new Match-Maker book is complete and almost ready to publish. That means it's time to send it out to the review team (that's you) so you can decide how you feel about it and be ready to drop your review as soon as the book is live on the Kindle store!
Are you ready? Click the link below and grab your advance review copy:
Modern Match-Maker Romance #14
It's hard to believe this is the fourteenth book in the match-maker series! (And there are more in the plans.)
The ARC download is only available for one week, so make sure you get your copy by September 21.
Those of you who've been with me for awhile know I'm hit or miss at having the "real" blurb ready when I send out the ARC link so bear with me here:
Another date from hell has Vanessa commiserating with her best friends, wishing there was a way to to let them handle the elimination process for her so she can skip straight to happily ever after.
Meanwhile, Jack's jealous of his buddy's awesome relationship with his wife and daughter and thinking it's time to settle down himself.
Hiring professional match-maker, Raven Swann, seems like a solid plan, but will a hold out on the team mean going back to the drawing board for both of them?
Thanks, guys. I'll be back in touch when the book is live with links where you can leave your review!

Greetings and thanks for joining Rocklyn Ryder's Review team!
If you're new to the review team (or just need a reminder,) let me explain how mine works:
Take a look at the book description here in the newsletter and/or on the Bookfunnel landing page, and decide if the book being offered is one you're interested in reviewing.
If not, no sweat, don't download it and I won't wonder where your review is.
If you decide to download the advance copy, please review it.
Once the book is available, I'll send out a second email with links to all the places where you can leave your review.
Once you leave your review, please send me proof of your review. A link, a screenshot, the little "thanks for your review" receipt that Amazon gives you, whatever is easiest. Just something so I know you followed through on your end so I don't remove you from the team.
I'm pretty easy going: It really helps to get reviews posted as soon as possible. I ask that you get them posted in the first 30 days. If it takes you a little longer or if you space out on sending in your proof of review-- don't stress out. Just don't make a habit of waiting six months to get around to it. I do remove members from the team after several downloads and no reviews.
About my ARC files:
It's important to understand that I send my review copies out rough. That means that I'm an impatient author! I get all excited about finishing a book and I want to share it with you as soon as I'm done.
I do two full read-throughs when I finish a book, making sure the story makes sense and doing all the major edits and fixing as many typos as I can find.
When I'm satisfied that the story is final, I send it off to you.
So you are reviewing the story, not my spelling. Please.
I know my ARC files are filled with typos. While you are reading the advance copy, the final draft is going through another set of eyes for the final edits and another set of eyes when the book gets formatted for publishing.
I welcome your feedback! If you find typos, grammar problems (sometimes those are on purpose though,) or consistency errors, feel free to let me know about them.
About your ratings:
Of course I love having enthusiastic readers who love my books.
However, the goal is your honest opinion of the story. Always.
Reviews help other readers discover new authors and books to love, so it only makes sense to ask you to be authentic in your review.
I understand that not every reader is going to love every story I tell, however, if you find that you don't like anything I write-- that's a good indication that we just aren't a good fit for each other and you shouldn't be reviewing for an author you don't like.
No hard feelings. If you want to leave the team but stay on the mailing list, you can update your subscription preferences or send me an email and I can do it on my end. If you choose to leave the mailing list entirely, it's easy to hit the unsubscribe link included with every email.
Thank you so much for your participation.
I hope you enjoy the book!
