Please read the 3 chapters provided. These are being submitted .
The criteria that the publisher is looking at / for are:
Contemporary romances set in North American small towns, including Western ranch communities. They want warmth, emotional depth, family, friendship, layered romance tropes, authentic settings, and a definite happily-ever-after. Cord and Miranda’s romance should reach its own HEA, while the McAllister ranch, family and surrounding Montana community can establish future connected books.
You are reading the first three chapters of a romance manuscript being prepared for submission to a "big" publisher for consideration.
At this stage, we are not looking for proofreading or detailed line editing. Please don't worry about commas, typos, word choice, or rewriting sentences unless something genuinely interferes with your reading experience.
What we need most is your reaction as a reader.
