Um, aren't you supposed to showcase your voice in your query letter? Give a sense of your story in the language of the story itself (humorous, gritty, etc.)? How can one guarantee that it will carry through if, by definition, you ask someone or something else to write it up for you?

"An agentโs guide to KISS THE WALL a 97k word queer sports romance by Siobhรกn Dorr" Silhouette hoisting a rainbow checkered flag.
"PITCH: When rival drivers-turned-teammates Grayson and Corey are forced to road trip the season together, their biggest challenge becomes their secret romance and deciding what they want more: standing in the winner's circle alone or hand-in-hand." Portrait of Grayson and Corey by @formulanni on insta!!
EXCERPTS:
Grayson
If there were ever a word to describe Corey Wilder it would have to be intense. But a good runner up for that would be handsome. Tanned skin, gold-speckled brown eyes, and a jawline Iโd personally kill for. I havenโt been this close to him since our fight at the beach in Daytona. This close, I can smell his aftershave and trace my fingers along the tracks of his razor, each movement precise so he keeps up his perfectly preened image.
The only thing that falters in his attention is when his eyes flick down to my lips.
My body heats, knowing there is no way I missed that signal, knowing that there is something darker stirring within Corey right now accompanied by the most entertaining intrusive thought; how fun would that be?
Corey
The bright vastness of a clear blue sky does nothing but make my body hum with anxiety, praying that clouds will roll in soon. Maybe itโs the promise of an unimpeded race day or maybe itโs too overwhelming to see the unending horizon, the edge of the Earth tapering off into nonexistence too much for my brain to comprehend.
Rain clouds and fog soothe me, the atmosphere reaching down and embracing me, never failing to tamp down festering negative emotions. Growing up without much affection, I donโt know what comfort should feel like, so humidity is the closest thing I have. Even one cloud above me is enough to set my rapid mind at ease.
"KISS THE WALL tropes: slow burn romance, enemies/rivals to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed, spicy peppers, standalone with series potential! Comps: [primarily shown as book covers] Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid, Crash Test by Amy James, Pole Position by Rebecca J. Caffery, and the anime Yuri!! On Ice"

An agent guide for The Siren's Call by Danielle Bradbury and Ashlea P Screaton. A new adult slowburn romantasy.
Pitch: Delphine dreams of adventure, but usually pays for it in bruises. Pirate captain Osian offers an escape to sea, but she won't leave without her best friend, Otto. Her escape seems dead in the water, until Otto is sent with the pirates to pursue a legendary Stone, and she will not be left behind.
Reunited on the waves, Osian and Delphine's spark strengthens. Then a deception within the crew locks a cruel enemy from Osian's past onto their tail, one who will stop at nothing to end his life. While Osian is eager to forget the reward, the pirates want Otto's life if the mission fails.
Delphine must decide whether to trust the man she's falling for, or betray him to save Otto.

Once Upon A Broken Heart (Stephanie Garber)

Snippet: โWould you? Have regretted it, I mean?โ
Their eyes met. Delphine pinned him with her expectant stare, and he worried again whether she could rummage around his mind for the answers she sought.
What could he say? Sheโd no doubt find him obsessive if he told her the truth โ how heโd spent so many waking moments wondering if she remembered their one dance as fondly as he did, when moonlight had clung to her hair and tickled her face as sheโd taunted him beneath the stars. How heโd been so relieved to see her on board his ship, in a way he couldnโt put into words.
How he hadnโt managed to get rid of the smell of sugar since meeting her, and didnโt want to.
Would he have regretted her kiss?
โNo, Ceraid.โ He swallowed, shuffling under the weight of the question. โI could have never regretted it.โ
