Seeking in depth reviewers for:  Who's Your Paddy? a 75,000 word work of women's fiction in the last stages of editing. It is a light, breezy, chick-lit styled novel set to the backdrop of Irish culture. The novel takes place in both America and Ireland, (mirroring the culture of the two main characters) and does contain a romantic theme.

Here is the current query:

Annie Zwick wants to be famous reporter. Tapped to write a human interest piece about Saint Patrick's Day for the Arizona Sun, she finds more fame than she seeks. In an Irish pub called The Harp and Piper, Annie discovers a ragtag group of Irish immigrants who band together to protect one of their own: her main source, Liam Murphy.

Annie must befriend him to get her story, but Liam has other ideas. Charismatic and irresistible, she finds herself falling for him. That isn't all she finds. A guarded history, an aversion to the press, and an idyllic home in Dublin that sits empty. It's only when Annie makes her way to Ireland that she gets her answers. But she also discovers the consequences of becoming part of her own story.

Who's Your Paddy? is a tale of love and redemption where success is no longer measured by getting the headlines, but with finding a way to survive them.

I'm seeking 2 broad-base style reviewers looking for similar to complete a full and timely swap. 

Focus to be on: story arc, pacing, character dev, plot and continuity.

Seeking:

1. Writers similarly skilled so the reciprocal work is as equal as possible.

2. Similar style, but genre is less important as long as mutually determined and agreed.

3. Completed works only.

4. Willing to work on or off TNBW site, but on-site chapter by chapter blurbs will be included for mutual benefit.

5. Time and pace to be mutually determined.  However I am looking to begin immediately and work as swiftly as work/life issues allow.

6. Fair, objective, in-depth analysis.

Not interested in:

1. Rewriting each others work.
2. Unqualified responses (i.e. 'your plot needs work' without examples).
3. Inability to be objective.
4. Inability to accept critique.
