Cute Contemporary Romance

Librarian Jessie Banks has always been a fan of the reality TV show SURVIVE THIS!, along with it's super-cute host, Nick Garrett. So much so that she reads every book that she can get her hands on about survival. Knowing that she'll never use any of the information that she finds. So when she gets chosen to be a contestant on SURVIVE THIS!, she realizes that it's time to prove herself, and possibly get cozy with Nick. Of course, being on a reality TV show is harder than it looks. Especially when you're dealing with two other competitors, a scheming producer looking for ratings, secret cameras, and tricky challenges. Not to mention that you're a sucker for the host's flirty personality, and boyish good looks.Jumping on the reality TV show bandwagon, Samantha Connolly has created a hilarious tale of what everyone in America is looking for at the moment: scandal, romance, and competition. Jessie is a fun character whom is not only intelligent and witty, but strong, both physically, and mentally. Her "relationship" with Nick will have readers young and old on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what happens next in their twisted, yet hilarious, romantic escapade. A must-have book for all who enjoy a fun and cute contemporary romance every now and then. Or for any of you reality TV buffs.Erika Sorocco

entertaining contemporary romance

Renowned survivalist Nick Garrett hosts the popular weekly TV series "Survive This" in which he shows his fans how to live off the land. Nick announces that his show will sponsor a special in which three individuals will be selected to survive a stint on a tropical island.Librarian Jessie Banks is a big fan of Nick's show and though she knows that she has no prayer of being chosen by her hero, she fills out the application anyway. She is shocked when Nick names her as one of the three contestants.The first confrontation between Nick and Jessie makes great TV, but terrible embarrassment for the librarian. Things turn worse with only her bag and humor to keep Jessie afloat as she finds the real Nick even more desirous than the TV Nick. Surprisingly, Nick finds the small town book lover as the most exciting of the three stranded women. Though they fall in love, misunderstandings make anything between Nick and Jessie off island seem unlikely.I WILL SURVIVE is an entertaining contemporary romantic take of the Survivor TV series. Fans will appreciate the heroine for her courage and her growing confidence to compete for the grand prize, which in Jessie's mind is Nick especially at nite. Nick is a solid individual and the other contestants and TV crew are developed just enough to add depth. Though one of the rivals is too nasty to compete with Jessie for Nick, the tale belongs to the lead female who will gain her love forever or lose the contest even if she ends up with the glory of the first place money.Harriet Klausner
