4.5 starsEver wonder what it is like behind the scenes of "The Bachelor"? What happens when he decides which woman he wants on day one and has to keep with up the show for three months?  Come inside this book and get ready to smell the roses...The last thing Zoe thought she was getting into when she agreed to go on by blind date was ending up on a documentary about dating.  After meeting the man, he infuriates her and she can't wait to walk away.  But a forged agreement from her friend forces her to stay on and the longer she is there, the more she tries to force herself to feel for anyone but him.As soon as Dante walks into the room, he spots Zoe.  She is so different from all the other women there, how could she not.  And when she throws attitude at him whenever possible, Dante knows he has met his match and can't wait to see how their relationship develops.As production continues both Zoe and Dante are forced to hide their growing affections from others and each other for the sake of the show.  As things ramp up with the show, emotions come to a head.  Will they be able to admit how they feel for each other and let everything else go or will it all be just too much?I really liked this book.  I am not a huge fan of the bachelor series but this was a really cute behind the scenes take on it.  It is a slow build to a sweet love story done in a way that you are sucked in and immediately rooting for the characters to stop fighting each other and just get together already.My thoughts:Quick hook or slow starter? 5 (I was hooked from the first chapter)Character development: 4Level of Romance between characters: 4.5Passion/Heat level: 4 (chemistry between these two is pretty instant but they spend most of the story fight it and each other.)Angst/Heartbreak: 4 (did I mention they fight their feelings for most of the book?)Cliffhanger?:  Nope, this is a nice refreshing stand alone.Overall, I loved it.  My only complaint is I would have liked a little more heat to the love scenes...that would have made this a 5 star read for me but other than that, I thought it was great.I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
