I've liked this author's work in the past, but I had a hard time connecting to this one and I can't quite put my finger on why. The set-up is great and even though the comedy kicks off with the heroine being humiliated on national TV, something inside of her snaps and she goes into full-blown All Out Of F*cks mode. Which, I LOVE that.

But even with the dynamite opening chapter, it takes a while for the story to get moving. There's too much internal monologuing. Too much time spent inside the characters' heads. There needed to be a lot more "action sequences" - like towards the end of the book which is breathlessly paced. The dialogue is great between the hero and heroine, so when the reader gets long stretches of internal musings it bogs down the pacing. I kept rewriting this in my head as category romance length.

I did like the main couple, and even though I can barely tolerate watching reality TV in real life, there's something about them as a setting in romances that I dig. It's a fun premise, a frothy read, and frankly would make a dynamite romantic comedy for the small or big screen. Jackson's agent should get moving on trying to sell the film rights.

Good, not great, YMMV.

Eva soon finds herself without a groom and and in a precarious situation. In walks Aidan Walker, the fixer. These two are not your average reality show cohorts.
