Perry Lake Great, Jacqui. PDFs or .rtf are fine, but Kindle is doable. Send it to me at [email protected]. I have one book in front of yours, so I should start it soon.
Oh, and remind me which book you wanted.

J.M. Rankin Hi Perry,

thanks for the friend request. I would be more than happy to do a review exchange with you. You can pm me on Goodreads with your details and what format you would prefer. Your book is already on my (very long) TBR list so it would be great to finally read it!
Best wishes
