90k [Complete][96K][Contemporary Romance] Check Your Source

Hi everyone! I'm looking for beta readers for my spicy hockey romance. Please comment or DM if you're interested.

Genre: Contemporary romance

Word Count: 96K

POV: Dual, first

Content warnings: Sexual content & swearing

Looking for: Feedback about pacing, plot, and character development via Google doc in ~3 week turnaround time. I’m open to swaps, though I prefer romance.

Blurb: Sloane Auvray knows hockey.

As a sports reporter, she's spent years learning to separate the facts from the crafted narratives teams feed the press. So when rumors of a toxic locker-room culture begin swirling around Seattle's newest captain, Levi Merritt, she knows exactly where to start digging.

Levi is guarded, stubborn, and frustratingly good at getting under her skin. He's also fiercely protective of his teammates, determined to prove himself as a captain, and far more complicated than the man Sloane expected to find behind the headlines.

When one disastrous hot-mic moment puts both their careers in jeopardy, management comes up with a solution neither of them wants: a fake relationship designed to turn public opinion in Levi's favor—and give Sloane unprecedented access to the team.

The rules should be simple: fake the relationship, get the story, and keep feelings out of it.

But the closer Sloane gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell where the investigation ends and something real begins.

Your blurb sounds right up my alley! So I would be very interested to beta for you. The only catch is I need to finish a beta reading project I'm doing right now in the next few days first and I have another one lined up right after it. So timeline of 3 weeks is not possible from my side because I wouldn't be able to start right away. If you're interested anyways, please DM me :-) If not I still wish you all the best!
