TV Bride

Here comes the TV BRIDE!

When Nick Ryan cheats his way into a cottage promised to Samantha Parker she swears he’ll be cursed until he rights what he’s wronged! Too bad Nick isn’t superstitious.

Samantha Parker has been burnt by one too many men. First a photographer, who promised her fame, then ran off with her prized photos, now Nick Ryan with the cottage. To add insult to injury, her best friend who gave her a place to stay is in a bind. She’s one Bachelorette short for the new reality show TV BRIDE and demands Samantha help her out.

Nick only wants to have peace and quiet in the cottage he’s rented to write his new book about the reality show his brother Derek is about to star in. When an accident lands Derek in the hospital it’s up to Nick to step in as his replacement.

Only there’s one catch. Nick must chose a mobster’s daughter or they will both end up dead.

Bravo for Ms. Ballou’s TV BRIDE. Although the story revolves around the premise of the Bachelor, Ms. Ballou’s has written a cast of characters who were so much fun to read about. The storyline was written better then any reality television show could hope to nail in real life.

Samantha grabs at your heartstrings immediately. She’s down on her luck and this reviewer had to keep reading to see if that luck would finally turn around.

Nick is shrewd in the beginning but he becomes quite the hero through the book. This reviewer loved his sense of loyalty to his family no matter what the cost. Nick was willing to sacrifice his personal life for his brother’s life and business.

Melinda, the Mobster’s daughter is evil personified. She’s the type of woman that we love to hate, and this reviewer did just that!

Ms. Ballou knows how to craft a story that kept this reviewer enthralled into the wee hours of the night. I couldn’t wait to see what could possibly happen next.

TV BRIDE is a mixture of humor, suspense and romance! This reviewer highly recommends picking up a copy of Ms. Ballou’s TV BRIDE you won’t be disappointed.
