Book Summary:
A romantic who believes in love…
Walking love disaster, Mia Donovan, is a
reality television production assistant by day, secret dating blogger, Lonely
Girl, by night. All she has to do to get the job of a lifetime is face
her fears and step in front of the camera. Unfortunately that also means dating
her nemesis, Single Guy, for the entire world to see.
A cynic giving love advice…
Reluctant, dating columnists, Ryan Matthews,
otherwise known as Single Guy, thinks reality-dating shows are soul-sucking
endeavors that have more to do with selling unrealistic expectations than love.
But for a shot at writing serious stories, he’s willing to go undercover
on Love Reality to do an exposé on the dating competition. What he
doesn’t count on, is falling in love.

Excerpt from Love
Reality
The
fluttering low in her belly told her she was in trouble. But it was her brain
perking up that told her she was a goner. She slid into the booth next to him.
"You're right. I made an assumption. And we all know when you make an
assumption, you make an ass out of you—"
He
didn't even let her finish, as they excitedly chanted in unison "—and
umption."
He
laughed. "What? You thought you were going to get me with a Samuel L.
quote? Long Kiss Goodnight is a classic movie. Okay, now that I pass muster on
movies and music. Time to get personal. Text or talk."
She
didn't even need to think about it. “For flirting, text. For emotional
connection, talk. I know how guys are with the phone, but I prefer it. Besides,
phone sex is so much hotter than sexting. A picture might speak a thousand
words, but it’s all about the tease. It’s hotter.”
“Will
you marry me?“
Mia
laughed. “You’ll have to work a lot harder than that. It’s like sending an
email to say thank you. Sure, it’s convenient, but a letter is so much more personal.
When I’m pitching a show, I always send a personal letter.”
“How
can you talk about phone sex and be so old fashioned?”
It
was too easy to talk to him, to flirt. Mia felt like someone else. “I’m a
woman. It’s all part of the mystery.”
And
they went back and forth like that for an hour. There, in the dim light of the
secluded bar, she chatted with a stranger about what she liked to read and her
favorite food and favorite indulgences as if she'd known him forever. Maybe
this was one of those epic nights that movies were based on. He was fun and
relaxed. He didn't seem to take himself too seriously. She could use some of
that in her life.
But
it wasn't until he asked her for her favorite drink that things got
interesting. "It's a toss-up between a Caiprihna and a mojito. All depends
on who's making it."
His
eyes lit up. "Come with me." He stood.
"What?
Where are we going?"
He
laughed. "It's called going on an adventure. Surely you've been on one
before?"
"Yes.
Just not with total strangers."
"Relax.
We'll catch a cab. And, I'm taking you somewhere very public. It just happens
to be one of my favorite places in the city. Are you game?"
That
was the real question. She usually played it safe. But the tiny voice in her
head kept telling her to live a little. Have some fun. For one night, she could
let go, right? "Okay, but I warn you, if you plan on trying to chop me up
into little pieces, I'm going to make it very difficult for you."
He
chuckled. "Noted. Now are you up for an adventure, or aren't you?"
Mia
watched him warily when he held out a fist to her.
“Will
you hold this for a second?”
She
automatically reached her hand out, and he opened his hand to take hers. “Now
we’re dating and I’m not a stranger.”
Despite
herself, Mia laughed but clasped his hand tightly. "Lead the way."
