Donovan Fitz lives by the saying: Go big or go home. And what could be bigger, and draw more attention to him and his mega-billion-dollar video game business, than creating a reality TV show about his quest for a wife? He’ll just have to deal with the distraction of his sexy producer, Melissa Hampton, and try to forget the amazing night they spent together. It’s all about the show, the attention, … attention, the ego-building blaze of publicity…until he finds out Melissa’s pregnant with his baby. Now all Donovan wants is her. But the plot twist of becoming a father while still looking for a wife is ratings gold and could be the big-break Melissa deserves. If only he can convince the camera-shy Melissa that putting their story out there would be good for both of them.
Melissa is terrified—and excited—at the prospect of becoming a mother. And if she’s honest, Donovan’s excitement about becoming a father is sweet. What’s not sweet at all is the pressure to use her pregnancy as a dramatic twist in their reality show. She craves a quiet life at the edges of show business and doesn’t want anything to do with the spotlight. In the end, though, Melissa knows she can’t hide completely if their show is going to bring in the ratings. Too bad that means she can’t trust a thing Donovan says to her while the cameras are rolling.
The reality is, though, she’s fallen in love with him, despite her determination not to. And now Donovan must figure out which will crush her less: killing her career-making show or letting her ignore just how right they are for each other.

So many twists that my head’s spinning. This book is hard to put down once you start. Donovan and Melissa will take you on a roller coaster ride, that’s for sure. A reality show, a millionaire game manufacturer, a surprise baby and so much more. Chemistry that’s off the charts and an engaging story. I read an arc via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review.
Nick and Donovan returned from a beautiful trip to the Yucatan Peninsula, where their best friend Brian just got married. Wondering aloud which of them would marry next, they turned it into a million dollar bet. So now Donovan Fitz is in front of a boardroom filled with television producers. He is pitching his idea to them that he, as both a CEO and the most eligible bachelor of the gaming industry, needs to find a wife. If they can put this into a reality TV show, it will generate lots of interest in his video game business as well as winning the bet with Nick! The timing was perfect! Nick had already put one of his developers to work on a matchmaking app, so Donovan needed to move quickly on this TV show.
Donovan kept his eye on a honey blonde woman who was talking with the producer sitting beside her from Perspective Studios. They appeared to like the idea, but the man raised his voice to comment that she was junior and had never headed a project like this before. When an experienced producer agreed to oversee the young woman’s project, they decided to let her go with it. Melissa Hampton would be the producer of his new reality show! He invited her to his home that evening to begin brainstorming the show.
Donovan and Melissa give in to the attraction they have both felt, and she finds out a few weeks later that she is pregnant! Donovan immediately wants to manipulate this event into his plan to boost ratings by incorporating the new twist to the story into the show! It comes down to whether he will put the show’s success before Melissa’s reluctance to be in front of the cameras! Will he choose the reality show or the woman and family he can love forever?
This was another cute story in this series. It was difficult at the start to trust Donovan’s motives since he was so emphatic about the reality television show to promote his company and his side-bet with Nick. But the reader had hope that Melissa’s pregnancy would change him – for better or worse! Not being sure what he would choose helped move the story line along as the reader waited to see how each would respond to the situation. Grab your copy and see how it all turned out – would love ultimately win?
I liked this book. With a fun story line that reads like a reality TV dating show, Donovan and Melissa’s romance offers plenty of drama and raw emotions. If you are a fan of this type of television show I think you will really like this book. For me it was a good read but not a great one because I am not really into these programs.
Great chemistry from the first meeting. And that leads to so much more. I enjoyed this book immensely .. the main characters really come into their own and the timeline is easy to follow. The story in general is very easy and everything together makes it nice to read. From me therefore 4 stars.

I laughed, I cried, I laughed again, I got hot and bothered and I ignored my kids and family until I finished the book in one sitting. This was perfection. This was different with the reality TV aspect but I loved Donovan and Melissa and their banter and their entire relationship. It’s always hard to admit you have stronger feelings for someone, especially when you’re both people working in the spotlight but their final coming together was perfect.

This is the third book in this little trilogy and as much as it can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading them all. Getting to know these three guys (Brian, Nick and Donavon) that have become the best of friends over the years and incredibly successful as well as to getting in on their bets. These bets are what gets these guys thinking about commitment and settling down. This book is about Donavon and Melissa and how they find their HEA that all starts with a bet. This is a great and interesting approach to finding a wife and hoping to find love. What happens if your committed to a reality show to find a wife but the one woman you want is not a contestant but the executive producer?

The bachelor as we have never seen him
I loved the beginning of this story because everything begins quickly. From the first chapters, we feel that the project of the two heroes can only go into the wall:
Organize a bachelor program with a billionaire to find a woman to marry to win a bet when you do not need money … it’s quite a program, especially when the one the billionaire wants, is none other than his producer, not a candidate, and that she adds a new element that forces her to appear in her own reality show when she does not want it.
The romance is rather sweet with some hot scenes, and the whole is good, and partly original.I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
