[Complete] [101k] [Adult Contemporary Romance] The Stars in Our Eyes - Musician‑Themed, Emotional, Slow Burn

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a few beta readers for my adult contemporary romance novel, currently sitting at about 101k words. It’s a character‑driven, emotional slow burn with a musician theme, a touch of melancholy, and a focus on intimacy, vulnerability, and healing.

“He broke her heart. She became someone he couldn’t ignore. But fame has its own gravity, and it might pull them apart for good.”

What I’m looking for:

• Pacing feedback
• Emotional clarity
• Character consistency
• Any moments that feel confusing, boring, rushed, or unearned

What you’ll get:

• A free finished ebook once published (aiming for August 2026)
• My eternal gratitude, including acknowledgement in the book
• A chance to influence the final version before ARC distribution

Content notes:
Mild language, emotional trauma references, consensual intimacy (closed‑door, fade‑to‑black, or explicit depending on chapter).

Timeline:
I’d love feedback within 2–3 weeks, but I’m flexible.

If you’re interested, please comment or DM and I’ll send additional information, including a link to BetaBooks, where you can find the currently-available chapters (updating regularly). I’m also up for Critique Swap, no restrictions, I’m easy.
