Hi! I’m looking for beta readers for the first three chapters of an adult fantasy romance (approx. 8–10k words).
Genre: Adult Fantasy / Romantasy
Tone: Emotional, tense, slow-burn
Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, forbidden attraction, political tension, morally gray characters
Blurb:
When a rebellion collides with a rigid ruling order, a woman with dangerous power is forced into an uneasy alliance with the very commander sworn to destroy her. As loyalties fracture and secrets surface, survival may cost more than allegiance — and love may be the most dangerous choice of all.
What I’m hoping to learn:
- Does the opening hook you?
- Are the characters compelling and clear?
- Does the romance tension land early enough?
- Is the worldbuilding easy to follow?
If the fit is good, I may invite readers to continue with the full manuscript later. I’m also open to swaps in similar genres.

Thanks so much for your time!
I gave you some feedback :). It took courage to put your writing out here for all the world to see, nice job. I'd love to swap with you if possible!
