Publisher's summary

Recently out of college, broke, jobless, and without a boyfriend, Lou Whitson is recognized by a talent scout at a football game, and then offered the opportunity of a lifetime.

To be the star of a reality television show. Along with it, $500,000 in prize money. There is a catch, but it isn't much. Especially considering her life's lack of love.

Live with six different men, one a month, for six months. Then, pick one to marry for an additional $500,000.

A Navy SEAL, a biker, a jock, a surfer, a business man, and a billionaire. Without hesitation, she agrees.

This is her story. It's smoking hot, sexy, funny, and will take place at the pace of one book a month for six months. Each book has a satisfying ending (never a cliffhanger) that will leave you grinning for more.

Short, Sweet and Funny Read!!!!

i enjoyed the story and enjoyed episode 1. I do wish the narrator differentiated the male voices and Lou's voice more so you could really get into the characters! But I love how things are playing out with Frankie and how the time with Rhett worked out, super funny and perfect. Lou has more of a backbone than i had thought and I love a strong female character! Can't wait to find out more about the other 5 men and what they are like and what will happen with Frankie! Short, sweet and funny read!

Reality Girl - Loved It

Jessica Hildreth does am amazing job with Reality Girl. It was a fun to see and picture what happens behind the scenes.

Lou is a sweet, naïve girl that joins the show to in hopes of getting money at the end and finding love. She starts learning that maybe that's the wrong place to find love. Will her inexperience and high hopes set her up to fail?

Jessica Hildreth does an amazing job in writing this story.

Lara Kindred does great as narrator of the story. She kept the story going and added to the fun that is Lou. Great Job.

Fun, Flirty & Very Witty Novella Installment

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. A fun and flirty short novella installment about behind the scenes of a dating reality TV show. This is a great listen especially if you can wait between releases, or need a shorter listen and prefer them a little at a time. The writing is witty and entertaining, and the narrator did a good job bringing the characters and story to life. I enjoyed this audiobook and recommend it!

Lou I hope your daddy does not see this show!!

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved the very last scene. Lou meets a friend and she starts off thinking one thing about them then she starts to realize that looks mean nothing when it comes to a person.


Any additional comments?

Rhett was a POS from the beginning. I knew there was something off with him when he was all shy and whatnot. No one is all that shy. Also when the first time Lou and him interacted I knew that he was suspect. He was a little too eager to have relations on camera.

Such a fun story idea!

This is the first book with this story line that I've read. It is a lot of fun! Well written, and interesting. Jessica Hildreth has created some pure gold with this!

Is being on reality tv really worth the risk for more?

Lou is a recent graduate with no job when an opportunity to be on reality television show became an option that was hard to pass up. One that included free food and a place to live. The concept is to get to know six guys (one guy) each month and if she chooses to be in a relationship with one of the men at the end she will win cash prize(s).

First guy up is a former sexy Navy Seal, Rhett who is intriguing Lou's mind in all sorts of directions. However are looks and the aura she gets from this gorgeous man enough to keep him in the running for more? Also in this episode we meet bar owner, Franky. A man that puts things into perspective and generalizes thoughts and ideas to Lou where you cannot help but wonder the truth and purpose of his words.

The story was just ok for me. The approach of the show sounds appealing but as the story progressed and we get to learn more on the behind the scenes it begins to put a sour taste in my mouth. But then again it is reality tv and it is all about the ratings. The narration by Lara Kindred was an appealing listen and seems to fit the main character wholly. It is how I would imagine her voice would sound like. This was a quick listen that will have you curious for more and see how things will play out. With the ultimate question...will Lou win at the end? And at what cost?

wait!!! I need more!

I'm hooked! that's all there is too it. Lara Kindred is great, and I can't wait to hear what happens next. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Great narration , story was enjoyable enough

3.5 stars
Quick enjoyable enough lunchtime read. Frankie was the best thing about it. Really wanted more of him but not sure I'll continue with the series if Lou is going to ignore the chemistry between them and continue with the next 5 me . Though I am interest to know who it turns out so I may have to! Narration by Lara Kindred was awesome, will check out more from her.

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

I think the concept of this little series is great..and I think it will get better as it goes...I was disappointed in Lou's behavior...and I knew she would regret it..she looked at these men superficially, and I am sorry...she kinda got herself in a situation she deserved...I am glad she took a step back, and now has a better view on how to spin this reality thing...bu I do think she has already met her match with Franky!!

Cute concept, decent narrative and I think this series has great potential!!!
