Her plan was simple. Dress up for a few hours, avoid the bachelor, get sent home with the consolation money, and finally be free—what could go wrong?

Rockets’ center fielder Ky Jennings’s two-date rule has kept his heart safe but put his career in jeopardy with his playboy persona. His manager’s solution? Be the next bachelor on the Reality TV show Finding Love. With over five million viewers—and the ability to spin the show in whichever direction they want—it’s the perfect solution to fix his image.

But sparks fly when Ky locks eyes with a hazel-eyed beauty who doesn’t seem to know—or care—who he is. One that he’s supposed to send home but everything in him screams not to.

Layla Cartwright’s already loved and lost and plans never to love again. But her cousin, the assistant director of Finding Love, offers her a deal she can’t refuse. One that will remove the financial noose squeezing her neck—be a contestant on the show. Just for one night. And then use the elimination money to finally be free. Easy.

Only her plan backfired.

He wasn’t supposed to choose her.

And her heart wasn’t supposed to like it…

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely LOVED this book!!

I have to admit, I’ve read a few books with this type of trope before, and sometimes it’s worked and other times it’s fallen flat. This book though -this story -had me hooked from the first page and I couldn’t get enough of it!!

Layla quickly endears herself to you with the tragedies in her life and the difficulties she’s faced and still deals with. She is kind and smart, and learning to live again after what’s happened in het past. There were times my heart just aches for her! She has a maturity far beyond her years when it comes to the rest of the contestants on this show.

And oh, Ky was such a swoony hero! A bit cocky and full of himself, he starts out to fix his image and stay on his Major League Baseball team, but quickly learns he just might find what he’s always wanted. His character grows on you the more you read, and I enjoyed seeing more to him than he originally shows the world. I especially loved how Layla teases him and nicknames him “Centerfield” because of his position in baseball.

The ending was not what I was expecting, but oh how I loved it! Definitely a great story here, but give yourself time because you won’t want to do anything else once you start!

Ky was quite pleased with his life, a star player in a Major League Baseball team, a line of woman that could fill a diamond field. Until that is, the owners called a halt to bad boy behavior. Star player or not he wasn’t the shinning example kids, teens and family should looking to emulate. Under pressure to clean up he roving act, he became the next bachelor on the reality show Finding Love, with 25 woman to romance, he was supposed to show the world he had heart, that he cared about his bad image and had finally decided it was time to settle down with one woman, or at least look like he really to leave the romantic playing field.
Layla, had ex-in-laws who had been very vocal about their displeasure in their son’s choice of a wife and mother to their to their beloved granddaughter. On a rainy night with her husband driving, their car spun out killing both her husband, Brad and 2 year old daughter, Izzy. She’d almost died that night and three years later she was still trying to come to terms with her loss. But she was also under the claws of her ex-in-laws. Shortly after the tragedy, they refused to pay for the funerals of Brad and Izzy, without Layla signing a contract to pay back every penny while being held at their beck and call 24/7. So when her cousin, Sydney, showed her a way to earn enough money to pay off her in-laws off, she reluctantly agreed since going on national TV to act like she was interested in finding someone to love was just about the last thing on Earth she wanted to do.
He was cocky and just wanted ride this play acting out, after all who finds love on TV. She was ambivalent about going along with the cameras watching her every move. Hoping to be let go early in the season, so she could collect the money offered her to be one of twenty five woman. It would be enough to get out from under the exes claws.
The story was romantic tale, with angst, second guessing, a couple of mean spirited exes, a haunty diva and a number miner characters that fill out the cast. The story focuses on Ky and Layla, while the reader does learn bits and pieces about them, the TV set up feels like I was watching a reality show. Meaning, as a reader I only learned enough about both characters to like them and root for a happy ending. It was a good tale and if you enjoy shows like The Bachelor, with some added drama and behind the scenes, this a clean romance with some nice heat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes what looks like a home run might be caught at the fence.

Outside of the "set up factor" of a pro sports team wanting a playboy to not be a playboy most of the premise was very good. Not great, but very good. There actually is a social justice movement in sports, but it is on the player level, so the set-up-premise of management wanting a star male player to less of a playboy and more "socially acceptable" in dating did not ring true.

The set and frame portion of the story actually worked well, but it was not really the way reality television works, and was more than implausible as the backbone of the story. The dramatic final confrontation just flat did not work for the reality TV context.

A person recovering from the loss of a loved one (or loved ones) was a true and solid backbone for the story, and most of the time it almost became real on the page-- almost become real, not actually feeling real, but almost. And characters normally would not talk themselves to death.

The reconciliation finale was moving but felt false, and no way of reconciliation for the show's season was offered. Face it, the implausible ending was just too implausible and was way, way too short.

Having said that, it was still four out of five stars when you compared it to the reader profile expected. It needed a better ending, and that would be a longer ending.

One thing to note: If you are going to review it stop at the end of the story and do the review, then go back and read the other volume entry sections. Interrupted that way the abruptness of the ending feels different, and when you go to the other openings of the stories you won't really get the unique flavor of the ending.

Layla goes on Finding Love to get the money to get rid of her ex-in-laws. KY goes on to Finding Love to improve his playboy image. Neither expect to find Love. Will misunderstandings and fears keep them apart? Great Characters, funny and sad moments and a HEA!!!

Super clean in not only the absence of porn on the page but no swear words, vulgar or crass references to intimates or inuendos, and no implied intimacies in the bedroom. I loved this book for its good example of no drinking and clean living.

It is well written and worth the read. Thank you Meg for writing this book.

This is my first book by this author, and not necessarily my genre, but it had the right mix of fantasy and reality to ground it. I liked that the characters cared for more than outward appearances. Chisled abs were probably mentioned too many times, but oh well.
