Falling for Mr. Wrong

Reality Romance #3

by Lizzie Shane

Caitlyn Gregg just agreed to marry 'Mister Perfect' on national television. There's only one as soon as the cameras stop rolling on their whirlwind reality show romance, she realizes she doesn't love him. Returning home to Colorado as the show begins to air, she has only her doubts for company--until she accidentally sets her apartment on fire and finds herself in the arms of oh-so-sexy fire-fighter Will Hamilton. Sparks fly--and not just from her singed apartment--but Caitlyn is engaged to another man and is contractually forbidden from talking about the engagement, breaking it off, or seeing other men until the show's finale. Will doesn't know what to make of Caitlyn's hot-and-cold routine, until he turns on the TV one night and sees her being wooed by another man. Thinking she must be gunshy after what is about to be a very public break-up, he tells her they can take it slow... but their insane chemistry has other ideas. Falling hard for Will is against all the rules and every week she dreads Tuesday, knowing any episode could be the one that drives him away. When the truth comes out, will Caitlyn lose the man of her dreams because she already said yes to Mister Perfect? **2016 RITA® AWARD FINALIST - BEST MID-LENGTH CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE**

All About Romance is profiling the 2016 RITA nominees

The lighthearted look at the reality of romance continues in Falling for Mister Wrong. Filming of the latest season of Marrying Mister Perfect has just wrapped and the winning suitorette Caitlyn Gregg is trying to lay low back in her home town until the series begins broadcasting. Caught up in all the manufactured emotions of the show it was quite easy for Caitlyn to say “Yes” to a proposal from the handsome Mister Perfect. It’s only after being back in the real world does she consider that Mister Perfect might not be perfect for her.

Caitlyn’s feelings become even more confused when she meets local firefighter Will Hamilton. He’s handsome, funny and likes Caitlyn for who she is away from the lights and cameras. A relationship with Will could be everything she went to Hollywood looking for except for one small problem – she’s technically engaged and soon the whole country will know it. The more Will and Caitlyn fall for one another the harder it becomes to hide her feelings from the producers and their confidentiality agreements or her media loving fiancé. Will her sexy firefighter stick around or will their new love be extinguished when everything is made public?

Ms. Shane moves her Reality Romance series in the right direction, putting Caitlyn into a true situation of dealing with her new found celebrity while still trying to live a normal life. Finding Will and getting to know him without pretense allows Caitlyn insight about how much of herself she sacrificed in order to be the right choice for Mister Perfect. It’s very easy to like Caitlyn even knowing what she’s hiding from Will and wishing she’d make different choices about their relationship. When all is revealed I appreciated that Will and Caitlyn were able to fall back on what was real between them.

Another fun read!

I love a book that is compelling enough to keep my mind in the clouds. Very enjoyable! A definite crowd pleaser.

Such a well-written book. I loved the characters and the background of the ever-popular bachelor series that the author played on. The music was a nice touch, and the insight into what the women might be thinking during the filming of the show was really neat to wonder about. Book flowed smoothly and I devoured it in a day or two. Nothing deep or dark, but a very enjoyable contemporary romance. Well done

First book I have read by this author. I enjoyed this story. Bryn is the tough DA who is crushing on Daniel. Daniel the defense attorney who is determined to get through her tough shell. Sad thing brought them together but they are,together.

Reality Romance

As usual with Shane, it's a sweet take on reality tv and romance, but I have to say I enjoyed her first two Reality Romance books better (Marrying Mr. Perfect and Romancing Miss Right).

Very entertaining and fun !

I have to admit that I really enjoyed this book. It was refreshingly well written. The story line was good, the characters behavior was honest and real. I could totally buy into the story, and it was fun.

Fun read

I watch the bachelor and it was neat to read about how they may work it.. The fighting does get viewers as I enjoy how poorly they interact.. Men and women at all indoors and that is what the book showed!
