#PitMad request
From rejecton
I'm sorry, but your project does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries.
Well, so much for #PitMad. Guess she liked my pitch better than the actual novel. I did read on her website that although she wants romance, she doesn't want erotica. This story has graphic content.

ER 5/7/18 (Passed--not a good fit)
I wanted to let you know I love your story and your writing is terrific. Unfortunately, this doesn't fall into the traditional romance and I don't feel I'm the right agent for it at this time.
