It's a shorter (52k words), category type romance I did for NaNo. I would like a read through for overall impressions, character and plot appeal and pacing, not necessarily a line by line crit.

It's been through a few drafts already so while it's not a diamond yet, neither is it a lump of coal (I hope anyway). I want to get it ready for the free NaNo print proof from CreateSpace.

I don't have a query yet, but you can read the short blurb I wrote for the NaNo site here. Also at my blog (linked in prior sentence--just keep scrolling down the query page) are shorter first draft excerpts I posted to give you a feel for the characters and my writing style. However, the dream sequences I posted (teasers #3 and #4) are probably going to be cut. They are MC character reactions to events in the story but don't drive the story itself. They were NaNo filler and were intended to be funny pokes at other romance styles.

If you'd be interested in helping a girl out and would like a light Christmas read (one sex scene), PM me please. Thanks in advance.
