Rochelle Ransom is participating on a reality show. Grant Drake has decided to use something very
public to extract his revenge. Don’t
confuse this book with the Kate Hudson movie How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.
If you’re going to compare it to anything, think about the reality series
The Bachelor.
I have to tell you that this book fed my conception of what I
don’t like about The Bachelor. I think it’s all fluff and very
scripted. But knowing that, it didn’t
stop me from putting both feet in and reading the book. I actually liked this story a lot more then I
ever liked the series. Any time I
watched the series, I always rolled my eyes but the book had me eager to turn
the pages. It’s a great book to read if
you’re looking for something to make you laugh.
One thing that I liked was that Rochelle was going into the show
with an altruistic reason for being there.
Grant on the other hand made me thinking how much of a jerk he was. But I can also picture him as the perfect
bachelor. Can you imagine having your
love life plastered on TV for everyone to see each week? Not just yours but other women as well and all
vying for the attention of just one man.
Will your love last once the cameras disappear? How can you consider love a game? But the author plays on the reader’s love of
second chances. I think that if I ever
had a day where I needed a good laugh, I would pick this book up again.
“Aaaand rolling!” Chris said, retaking the director’s seat a few feet away.
Grant could practically feel the cameras focusing back on him. “I’ve decided to be America’s reporter for the day,” he said, having already memorized his lines. “So I have a few questions to ask that I think everyone will want to know—including me.” Their eyes locked. So did Rochelle’s jaw. Grant paused for effect. Then, “Why on earth would you choose to audition for a sleezy show like Luring Love?”
“CUT!” yelled Chris.
“I mean, have you really drained the dating pool already?” Grant continued, getting angrier with each word out of his mouth. These were, after all, valid questions. Never in a million years would Rochelle have chased after a man—so why the hell was she here? “What would your mother say? Coming on a show like this to paw at a man who’s already got nine other women doing the same thing?”
“I said cut!” Chris growled.
“Oh, are we going to talk about mothers, then?” Rochelle flung back her hair. “Instead of dating pools, let’s talk about gene pools—and the fact that you and your four siblings originated from separate ones!”
“Cut, cut, cut!” Chris had his hand on Grant’s shoulder, but Grant wouldn’t turn his eyes away from Rochelle. Her expression read Challenge Accepted.
Did she really just insult his mother’s…need for variety in life? He couldn’t let that low blow go unpunished. “Let’s do talk about gene pools and how we both know that cleavage of that particular magnitude doesn’t run in your family.”
Taken aback, Rochelle clutched at her shirt. Grant felt a win on the horizon, if hurling mother insults could, in fact, be considered winning at anything. “It’s a halter top, moron. It’s designed for cleavage. Besides, you didn’t seem to be complaining when I walked in!” she added.
His mouth fell slightly ajar. She noticed me noticing. Did the crew? Will America? “It doesn’t suit you,” he blurted. A complete lie. It enhanced an already irresistible figure—so much so that he just might have been willing to change his general opinion on how much cleavage a woman should expose in public. In fact, he suspected he’d change his view on world peace if Rochelle sat on his lap and asked him to.
“Really? Everything underneath suited the hell out of you before!”
“For God’s sake,” Chris said, standing in front of Grant to block his view of Rochelle. “Are we speaking the same language?”
