Revenge was never this much fun…
Rochelle Ransom has big plans for winning the prize money on a dating show to help her favorite charity—and if she wins the hot bachelor's heart, even better. But at the last minute she finds out the bachelor is her ex-boyfriend, Grant Drake. Now she's determined to get herself voted off as quickly as possible—even if she has to embarrass herself on national television. But Grant has a different plan for the woman who stole his heart.

At first, I was really apprehensive while reading the summary. A dating show? Girls vying for a guy's attention? I had enough of that with the Selection. This didn't really sound up my alley.
Boy, was I mistaken.
That was so adorable. This is different from the Selection because Rochelle and Grant ac ...more
This is the second book that I've read by Anna Banks and while I wasn't the biggest fan of her other book, this one was decidedly better. I am glad that I gave Banks another shot because otherwise, I would have missed out on this sweetly romantic novel.
It should be said that I love the show, The Bac ...more
4.5/5 stars
Even though I'm not a fan of shows like The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, I couldn't help but be interested in this one. It was more The Bachelor meets How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days without the promiscuousness and I LOVED that. I was easily sucked in, even despite Rochelle's prickly exteri ...more
I have only see the bachelor show a few times and I'm pretty sure the contestants are supposed to win his heart and not try to get voted off. Lol
In this story Rochelle is an attorney on the show to help raise money for a charity but she find out her ex from college is the bachelor and she will do an ...more
What a truly FUN read!! How would it feel to walk onto the set of a reality dating show you agreed to do for charity and see the one man who completely broke your heart standing there as the bachelor?? That's exactly what happens to Rochelle Ransom. Grant Drake ripped her heart out when they were in ...more
Oh my goodness, this was just a hilarious, romantic, great book!
Rochelle Ransom (what a name by the way, I kept checking if I was reading it right) has auditioned for a dating show, and is accepted. She thinks this will be just a breeze, sure she is embarrassed as heck about it (because come on, who ...more
With the chance to raise much needed funds for her favourite charity, "Helping Hands"', taking part in a reality television programme, "Luring Love" seemed like a good idea. Sometimes, however, even the best ideas can have unexpected consequences!

Funny!!!
Rochelle is a contestant on a show like Bachelor. The star of the show is Grant, who also happens to be Rochelle's ex. She was conned into staying on the show by the producer when he said he would double the prize money, even if she got kicked off the the show in the first round. The produce ...more

This one was cute and sweet. I’m not big on reality shows in … reality … but I do tend to like the drama they provide in books books. Plus, sometimes I want nothing more than an antagonist love story and Rochelle and Grant definitely provided that ...more
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I haven't read anything from Anna Banks before. When I started this book, I wasn't really expecting too much. I think that actually worked in a good way because I ended up truly loving this book. This bo ...more

I have a confession. I am obsessed with The Bachelor. Like, I can't not watch it. Don't judge.
If you read the summary for this book, it's pretty spot on. I loved these characters and their history, and I loved the reality-TV aspect of it. Grant a ...more
I love read second chance novels and I love read Bliss novels, How to Lose a Bachelor was the best combination of both. This novel brought us into the world of reality TV. We all know those things that happen with in the show aren’t as real as people think and this novel explored that. Rochelle and ...more
3.5 stars
I thought this would be a YA or NA book, but the protagonist is 29 years old, so normally one would say this is a normal contemporary romances for adults (with a closed door sex scene). BUT both protagonists act like teenagers and not like a successful lawyer or a successful security traine ...more
For what it's worth, a true rating would be a 4.5 star read. This book was exactly as promised. Light, fluffy, carefree! Readers may feel skeptical of this book because it does seem like it is the same quality of free amazon reads etc. but I assure you that this is a story that is fully fleshed out ...more
I was wondering how the writer was going to make this work with their knowing eachother and was pleasantly surprised. Rochelle and Grant are like oil and water on the surface but deep down they still have much to give...to eachother. This second chance story is definitely worth giving a first chance ...more
You're asking me to stay and play a game of chance. One that I've already lost in the past.

When Rochelle signs on to be one of many women vying for a single man on a reality romance show, she’s only thinking about getting some exposure for her charity, not finding love, making a fool of herself, or furthering her career. But when the bachelor turns out to be none other than th ...more
