I've had my eye on this book for quite some time. Its been on my TBR list for way too long. Heather is an author that one will love. Each of her books that I have read, I've loved. Falling For You is no different. From the moment I started this book, I loved Cassidy and how she was much like the average girl. And I loved the type of hero the author chose for Cassidy. In fact the whole dynamic of the story worked. After all, Cassidy goes on a dating show only to find out the bachelor is her ex-boyfriend. At first I wondered why Cassidy stayed  on the show, knowing she didn't want to be with Brad (the bachelor). But I admired her for pushing through and heck, with Evan as you camera man who could blame her? The author did throw a twist into this story I didn't see coming. I won't give any spoilers but it had to do with a certain female character. In fact involving that one character, the author threw in two twists with her. Curious? You'll have to read it to find out!

About the book

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

“I don’t know about you girls,” Zoe said, “but I definitely think there are more hot men here than just the bachelor we’re all fighting for.”

“What are you talking about?” Holly asked. “Brad is super-hot. Like hawt.”

“Yeah I know, but you can’t honestly say you haven’t noticed the guys following us around, right?” Zoe nodded her head in the general direction of the cameramen surrounding the pool a few feet back.

“Zoe, you know they can still hear us in here,” Erica whispered.

Cassidy opened her eyes at the talk of cameramen. What is Zoe up to now?

“I know they can hear us, moron. That’s the point.” Zoe propped herself up on the edge of the hot tub on her forearms, forcing her breasts to jut out in front of her. “And I’m hoping one particular cameraman likes what he hears…and sees.”

Cassidy’s jaw dropped into the hot water as she realized Zoe was not only being overtly sexual, again, but this time it was projected directly at Evan. Her Evan.

Back off bi-otch. Six, seven, eight… Just relax. Keep your mouth shut. This is none of your business.

“You know we can’t do anything with the crew,” Erica said. “It said so on one of those forms we signed.”

“I know that,” Zoe huffed, “but that doesn’t mean I can’t have a little fun while I’m waiting around for the finale, does it? Besides, someone needs to give America something good to watch. You girls certainly aren’t helping the ratings.”

Holly rolled her eyes. “So you’re going to screw around with the crew to help ratings?”

“Oh relax, girls. It’s not like I’m going to sleep with him or anything.” Zoe smirked. “Just a little harmless flirting, that’s all. Unless of course, someone else already has her eyes on him?”

Cassidy locked eyes with Zoe.

Is she implying there’s something going on with me and Evan? Why would she think that? Just because I want to jump him every time I’m near him doesn’t mean I have a thing for him. I can’t help it if my mind goes to dirty places when he’s around. I’ve never acted on one of those thoughts, so what’s she getting at? It’s not like she can read my mind… Can she? No, idiot, she can’t.

Say something, she’s still staring at you.

“You can do whatever you want, right girls?” Cassidy said to the other women. “Maybe you’ll even get yourself kicked off the show.”

“They can’t kick me out for saying hello and being polite.”

I can kick you.

My favorite reality show...hum. I only watch two, Top Gear and Ink Master and Top Gear has been getting too... what's the word? Um, it sounds preplanned, acted out. So Ink Master is.
