BLOG TOUR POST AND GIVEAWAY!! Falling For You by Heather Thurmeier (@TastyBookTours, #giveaway)

Blurb:

Newly single Cassidy Quinn is thrilled to be a contestant on the new reality dating show The One. But her excitement turns to horror when the gorgeous bachelor turns out to be her ex-boyfriend. Seeing Brad again makes Cassidy realize she might not be as “over him” as she thought—and then she meets hunky cameraman Evan Burke

After watching his brother lose his wife in a tragic accident, Evan vows never to fall in love. But following Cassidy around as her personal cameraman makes him question his decision, and resisting her gets harder with every sunbathing, bikini-wearing day.

Cassidy and Evan begin a forbidden affair while her ex-boyfriend tries to win her heart back one groping, awkward moment at a time. If Cassidy can manage to stop falling off horses (literally), stop falling onto her ex-boyfriend, the bachelor (yes, literally), and stop falling in love with backstage playboy Evan, she might still make it through the show without becoming a tabloid sensation.

But soon Cassidy must choose between the ex who broke her heart and the cameraman who might never love her back. For Cassidy, this reality show just got real.

EXCERPT:

“Stay still, Corona,” she pleaded, patting the horse on the shoulder. She swung her leg over the horse, determined to successfully complete one dismount before the challenge ended.

Her arms shook as she lowered herself carefully from the saddle, finally giving up their fight part way down. Gravity took her the last few feet and she hit the ground with both feet, stumbling backward a step before bumping into something solid.

“How, Cassidy? How do you always end up in my arms?” Evan’s voice rumbled in her ear, his warm breath on her earlobe making her girly bits tingle.

She found her footing and turned in his arms. She could see the dust and dirt clinging to his five o’clock shadow, his brow beaded with sweat. He desperately needed a shower and there was nothing she could have fantasized about more than being in one with him. Instead, she pushed herself back from him and swallowed her urge to climb him like a jungle gym.

“What can I say? I guess I just keep falling for you,” she said, before her brain caught up to her mouth and she was able to censor herself. 

REVIEW:

I wasn't sure how I was going to like this story.  I am not a fan of reality shows and the dating ones are the worst, in my opinion.  However, Cassidy and Evan's story was hilarious! 

Cassidy is a New York girl who, thanks to her sister, has landed a spot on the new reality show, The One.  When she looks around she feels like she doesn't meet the standards that the other girls represent.  She is floored when she realizes that one of the staff guys is brutally hot and can only imagine what the bachelor guy looks like.  Cassidy knows it's going to be an interesting few weeks, when filming hasn't started and the claws have already come out.  Zoe, the front-runner for the contest, is very condescending in her opinion that Cassidy doesn't belong in front of the camera.

Cassidy decided to do the show for the challenges and adventures.  She is shocked when during the first challenge she is introduced to the bachelor and it is her ex-boyfriend, Brad!  This was a blind-side she wasn't expecting, especially with the brutally hot cameraman, Evan in her line of sight.

What is a girl supposed to do when confronted with a past love and a future love at the same time?  Throw in a reality show, vindictive contestants, a love triangle and you have a kick-ass story!
