For one charming playboy, getting cast on a Bachelor-esque reality TV show is the shock of a lifetime-until he finds love where he least expects it.

Gage Barrett's reputation as a ladies' man has been greatly exaggerated, but none of that matters after a drunken bet lands him on Jilted, a reality TV show that matches runaway grooms with wannabe brides. Now he's stuck at a Hawaiian resort with nineteen women competing to drag him back to the altar-and one contestant who's even more miserable than he is. Gage has no idea how feisty, independent Ellie Wright wound up in the cast, but it's obvious she hates his guts. And if there's one thing Gage likes, it's a challenge. . . .

Ellie can't believe she let her best friend talk her into exchanging her dignity for a glorified bikini contest. Still, she could use the exposure-her business is struggling-and she'll probably be one of the first to get eliminated anyway. But Gage isn't the shallow jerk Ellie anticipated-and he's in no rush to send her home. As stolen kisses turn into secret trysts, she finds herself losing track of what's real and what's for the camera. With the wedding finale looming, this runaway groom is tempting Ellie to start believing in storybook endings.

I really enjoyed this fun take on The Bachelor! There were tons of funny moments as the girls try to make an impression on and off the air. There were also plenty of sexy and emotional ones between Gage and Ellie as they fall in love. It was a solid 4 star read and I'm adding an extra half star because I cried :) 

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
