Falling in love is hard. Falling in love on national television is impossible. Right?
Leighton Aldridge did not sign up to meet her soulmate. She signed up for the lights, camera and action. So when the Hollywood-native ends up with the wounded war veteran and a ring on her finger, it's a surprise to everyone. What isn't a surprise is the way she breaks Finn Wyatt's heart, or the massively public breakup that follows. But a year later she's back, ready for another round on the reality TV show that brought them together. She knows he was the real thing, and she's ready to fight for him.
Finn is the new Mr. Right. The country's favorite single guy, and the object of 25 women's affections. But when his ex-fiance steps onto set and back into the limelight, he wishes he never agreed to another season. Leighton shattered his heart for the world to see, and he's not ready to face that reality. Can Leighton convince him, and America, that she's the one? Or will her future with Finn only consist of 15 more minutes of fame?
My Review:
I was immediately drawn in by the book's synopsis. I haven't watch an episode of The Bachelor in YEARS, but who wouldn't like a behind-the-scenes look at reality tv geared toward love?! *looks around* So to say I was drawn into this story from the beginning is a given. But I was! Carrie Aarons set it up perfectly, the reader can picture the scene unfold. I enjoyed how this book was written from dual perspectives. I can appreciate both sides of the story. Leighton broke Finn's heart and she's the last person he expects to show up on Mr. Right. They met under ridiculous circumstances and in the public eye, but still managed to fall in love. But Leighton is still in love with him and wants to win him back.
This story was sad at times, sweet, lighthearted and the reader can't help BUT to fall in love with Leighton and Finn! We see them when the cameras are on, when they're off and the things that have brought them to this time and place. It was a fast read for me, as I didn't want to put it down. I highly recommend this book!
