Review of Emma St. Clair's The Billionaire Love Match
I've never watched the Bachelor or any related shows, but there is something to be said about the allure behind them. This book captures that allure with a twist- our contestant and bachelor accidentally meet before the show. Now, amid the drama and stress of competing with several other women- not to mention the highs and lows of fame and the strain it brings to her Christian witness. Plus, there's the hero's manipulative (and I mean manipulative) mother.
I really enjoyed this book, but there was one thing that bugged me. Everyone was acting like it was some big deal that most of the other girls in the house didn't get along with her, like that was some kind of red flag or something. Um, no, that just means that there are a bunch of girls being jealous at the one who got special attention from the guy they're all trying to catch. And if being a pariah was a red flag, everyone who got excluded from the cool kid's group would be the enemy number one. That's probably why I don't watch these kinds of shows- the way they would be edited to make innocent people seem like bad guys would drive me crazy.
Anyway, if you like bachelor and/or billionaire tropes, this one stands out from the bunch.
