A Proofreader's Perspective: Pretend to Be My Cowboy by Sophia Quinn

Pretend to Be My Cowboy by Sophia Quinn is a delightful, sweet romance with Christian undertones that follows Emma O’Sullivan, a kindergarten teacher who finds herself at her late father’s ranch. There, she meets Nash Donahue, the rugged foreman, and the two quickly find themselves teaming up in a pretend relationship to fend off Nash’s father, who’s keen on pushing Emma to sell her inheritance.

Quinn’s storytelling is warm and humorous, filled with playful banter and charming moments that had me smiling and laughing throughout. The chemistry between Emma and Nash is natural and endearing, and the story’s pacing keeps things engaging without rushing the romance. I also appreciated the clean ending; rather than setting up the sequel with a cliffhanger, Quinn introduces Emma’s sister’s story subtly, leaving this tale to wrap up on a satisfying, sweet note.

From a proofreading perspective, the only minor flaw was the overuse and inconsistent formatting of ellipses, but the text is otherwise polished to near perfection.

Overall, Pretend to Be My Cowboy is a thoroughly enjoyable read for fans of clean, heartwarming romance with a touch of faith and plenty of charm.
