Blurb
A reality tv show filled with beautiful women vying
for one hot daddy? And, cue scandal...
After years spent concentrating on raising his daughter,
Miles Kent is pitched a chance at true love on a new reality dating show. It’s
an opportunity so enticing that he’s willing to risk his heart on national
television. What follows is a staged disaster that paints him as a cheating
scumbag and earns him the title of The Most Hated Man in America.
Determined and tenacious, Charlotte Reed’s life revolves
around work and her dream of becoming partner at Chicago’s most esteemed law
firm. But the heart and brain often long for different things, as Charlotte
quickly learns after a chance encounter with Miles. Falling for him hard and
fast, she is soon dreaming of a future with him, and an angelic two-year-old
with an unfortunate potty mouth.
Then, she stumbles across the footage and snarky sound bites
from the show, and finds herself wondering which version of Miles is real. Will
she allow his bad press to turn their lives into must-see tv? Or can she direct
her own happily ever after?

Excerpt
Vibrant blue eyes meet mine, full of mischief, and I allow
myself a moment to imagine what it would feel like to look into eyes like that
every day. The thought startles me and the moment comes to a quick end when he
clears his throat and his teeth sink into his full bottom lip in, what I can
only assume is, an attempt to fight the smile quirking his full lips.
A fight he is losing.
A wave of fresh embarrassment washes over me and I duck my
head in an effort to avoid his gaze.
“Don’t you just hate it when they don’t have your favorite
flavor?” I force a smile and turn to move away, desperate to leave this moment
of disappointment and mortification behind, when the deep timbre of his voice
stops me.
“Trust me, nobody feels more passionately about ice cream
than I do.”
I glance up and take in his easy expression. He’s running a
hand through his slightly unkempt, dark blond hair, a grin stretching across
his face. I notice that his hair isn’t artfully tousled. You know the kind of
messy that guys spend far too long on, in an effort to make it look effortless?
Instead, it looks as though he spends his days running his hand through it,
with zero care for his appearance. I try not to question why that endears this
stranger to me.
“If they don’t have my Cherry Garcia, I will burn
this place to the ground.” He leans toward me conspiratorially. “Can I trust
you to have my back if shit goes down?”
My answering laugh is loud and unexpected. Somehow this guy
has managed to put me at ease and soothe my awkwardness.
“Of course. Who better to have by your side at a time like
that than a fellow ice cream annihilator, stranger or not,” I reply, my face
the picture of earnestness.
“See, now, you get it!” He shakes his head gravely. “Not
many people do.”

Charlie and Miles have two very different views of love. VERY. Miles grew up with siblings and saw how love made his parents strong at facing the things life threw at them.
Charlie grew up watching her mother cry about man after man and saw heartbreak and she never wants to fall in love and believes love makes you very weak.
The two meet in a very cute meet at the supermarket over their love and hate of ice cream. However just like Cinderella Charlie takes off before Miles can get her number.
And so he scours Facebook looking for Charlotte in Chicago. A pussycat ends up bringing the two together again and that's when things move faster for them.
But Miles has a horrible rep because of this dating show he was on and a majority of the story is how he and Charlie deal with that and her fear of love.
There is one scene in the book that was amazing. Its where Miles tells her "He could love her but love is a risk and sometimes you just have to take the risk." It was probably the best scene I have read in years and it really made me fall head over heels in love with this story.
This story also features an adorable 2 year old little girl who likes to swear a lot and causes lots of fun moments in the story.
