The Reluctant Bachelorette Blog Tour (Oct. 24th, 2012)

Hey Everyone!
I am so excited, because today I am a stop on the official The Reluctant Bachelorette blog tour!

About:
Unknowingly cast as the bachelorette for her town’s charity event, Taycee Emerson wants out. Especially when she discovers her old teenage crush, Luke Carney, is one of the bachelors and it's up to the viewers--not her--to decide which bachelors stay or go.

Coerced into participating, Taycee does what any self-preserving girl would do. She launches a subtle attack on Luke’s good name with the hope of getting him voted off the show. Unfortunately, Luke's an eye-for-an-eye kind of guy, and when he discovers what she's up to, it means revenge.

But when their pranks go south, will they screw up any chance they have at a future together, or will they be able to forgive and forget and prove that love really does conquer all?

My thoughts:

Overall, I thought this was a super cute contemporary read!  I loved the story, the characters, and the writing style.  Luke sounded absolutely dreamy!!! And Taycee was a character that I think a lot of readers can relate to!
Even though, I personally despise the TV show The Bachelor, I did like how Anderson did it in this book, especially since it went to a good cause.  A cause that is a real issue today in our society!  A couple of years ago I watched the documentary Food Inc.  which deals with a lot of issues, one being how farmers are being put down and controlled by huge corporations, and just don't have a chance to compete!

I recommend this one to chick lit lovers, contemporary romance lovers, and people who enjoy a nice, light, clean romance novel!
