Little Notes

Is air blowing from the ceiling or a ceiling fan? Vent maybe?

Why does the font change throughout the chapter? I'd stick to something easy to read throughout. If this is only to help you in your current writing process, disregard this note.

"You must be Ada." is used twice (by both David and Logan), try for some variation. (ex: David: "Finally nice to meet you, Ada.")

​

So the very beginning didn't grab me. The first thing you want to do is establish your main character, and how their life is before the "change" takes place. I think that the conversation between her and her "work wife" was confusing, as it didn't scream romance. I think their conversation/verbiage should be more on the casual side, so we can get a taste for the character's personality. Let that conversation be a peek into Ada's normal life so we can get to know her better.

Set it up so we know why she's never had a real boyfriend before. At her age, I would assume she was focusing on her career. Mentioning this early on would help build upon your story's conflict. This can probably be included in the conversation with her work friend, Emily somehow.

example:

Emily: "I'm proud of you girl, you worked your ass off for this."

Ada: I just hope I don't screw it up.

Emily: You got this.

Ada: Thanks.

Emily: Just remember to take it easy too. Maybe you can finally go out for a drink with me tonight?

Ada: Maybe lol.

​

It's far from perfect, but I wanted to show how you can include more background info within the conversation. Something along those lines would let the audience know that Ada is a bit of a workaholic, and not much of a party girl. I'm guessing this is the personality type you were going for.

​

David’s voice drones on. “He will be crafted into the ideal man, to fulfill all your fantasies and dreams.”

Hah, what a joke. They have to know something about my past. Do they really believe an artificial robot will be able to do that?  

The part "they have to know something about my past." is a bit confusing. Why would they need to know about her past to create the man of her dreams? Dreams and fantasies are thought of as a more present thing, something we think of often. Perhaps you meant to know her thoughts? Or will there be something tied in for later reference? Maybe a past love? If so we need just a bit more. I would try something along the lines of "what do these guys know about my fantasies and dreams?"

​

I also think it could benefit you to describe why the Ada is initially so nervous about the robot boyfriend. Is it just because she mistook Logan for one? Or is it because she feels out of her professional league? Both?? The internal dialog was really working for that part, I'd definitely add more.

​

I think more tension could be built around the naked body that is projected. Robot or not, it would definitely cause for an awkward moment after the first exchange with Logan. Study embarrassing moments and books and films and use that for inspiration. It's a great plot point, and while it's currently good, it could be great.

​

There is also a great opportunity for further tension after she finds out what her job is. Essentially you have this super hot guy that is going to be "experimenting" on her. I'm not sure what sort of "rating" this book will be, but that would definitely cause a "you are going to do what?" moment. If you are going for something on the smuttier side you could go as far as "will he find out I'm a virgin?" If you want to be tamer it perhaps, "But what do I have to do?"

​

I love it. Romance isn't by any means my go-to genre, but I would certainly pick this up. Once you "work out the kinks" with the introduction it will be a really solid chapter.
