When one of the contestants on the new reality series, Girl of My Dreams, pulls out at the last minute, shy production assistant Jillian steps in to fill her shoes, believing all the while that she'll be eliminated quickly. She has eyes only for her boss, and the millionaire who is the prize of the show holds no appeal for her. Yet, despite this, she finds herself as one of the favorites to go all the way. The only two people possibly less happy than Jillian, or Veronica as she's known on the show, are a disgruntled contestant and the boss she really wishes would have chosen her before now, Blake Caldwell. Suddenly, he realizes how much he needs Jillian Baker in his life, but she seems to be slipping away, ready to mount the white charger and ride off with a prince charming, the way things are going. However, in the dog eat dog world of reality television, things are never quite what they seem and there might be a deadly hitch in that scenario.



This is both a fun read and an exciting one, managing to stay on the pink side of sensual, telling just enough to add zest, but not going graphic. It's a fast, utterly absorbing and charming tale that leaves you with a smile. Girl of My Dreams is one classy read.

I must admit, I'm not a fan of reality shows. In fact I would rather do the ironing, and that's saying something! However when asked to stop by and take alook at this book, I was strangely attracted to the story. I quite liked the idea of the millionaire doing the chasing instead of the girly dirty tricks being the basis of the story. Darn, now it's gotta go on my 'To Read' list which is getting longer than my 'Must Write' list. Congratulations Morgan and I hope this is a great success for you.
