This story had a fair bit of drama in it, but it had great characters and I enjoyed reading it.

Casey signs up for a reality TV dating show to get away from her ex. Colt agrees to be the billionaire on his mother's new TV show in order to get the studio space he needs to create the types of movies he wants. After a steamy bathroom kiss and a black eye, Colt and Casey build a relationship, but is the relationship real or all for the cameras?
I enjoyed this book a lot. I loved how authentic Casey seemed on the show. Lucas is the absolute worst. I'm not the biggest fan of Colt's mother, but there was a nod to a better relationship towards the end of the book. This book did include Christian themes.
Content Warning:
-Loss of a father
-Controlling mother
-Sexual assault attempt that is stopped
-Reality TV show drama and manipulation
*This is a clean contemporary romance

I wasn’t to sure what to read after finishing my other kindle unlimited reads until I came across this series by Emma St. Clair. I’ve enjoyed many of her other books so I thought I would give this one a try.
I have many thoughts and feelings about this one but overall I thought it was okay. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it. I thought the characters were good and it was interesting to read about a bachelor type show but nothing really stuck out for me. I finished it and I thought it was cute but I don’t see myself reading it again. As I said nothing really stood out or made it super memorable. I will continue with the series though as each book is a different romance trope.

This was a fun book and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. There were minor editing mistakes. This is the first book of St. Clair's that I've read and I would be interested to read more of her work.

Entertaining clean read with heart. It's nice to read a book with wholesome characters and serious attraction. Great kisses and conflict while keeping everything PG-13 (probably even PG by today's movie standards).

I didn’t like this one as much as the Love Clichés series or Royally Rearranged. Still cute though.

Definitely worth the read
Relatable characters in an unrelatable situation. I love the snarkiness and sass. Interesting concept for a book and it totally works.

Essentially a bachelor-esque show premise, with enough threads and layers to keep it interesting. I liked the perspectives of both main characters switching at each chapter change so you're given multiple perspectives on how the story is playing out and can understand scenarios the characters are still unsure about. This book took on some bigger issues of view of oneself and what your identity entails and ended up being more impactful than I expected. Definitely still a light, humorous read overall, but not just fluff.

This was a great read: but not cheesy or syrupy, and the author did not avoid tough subjects. There was a good amount of tension, and a few points where I gasped (internally-I don’t even really LOL when I send that as a text reply) in surprise. Some parts seemed a little rushed, but that could be me nitpicking. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next book in the series.
