I enjoyed this book about a reality dating show, because it felt like this is what could actually happen behind the scenes. The heroine & hero both felt very real and I enjoyed their inner evaluations of each other and the reality show experience. Definitely reading the next one in the series!

I didn't like the dialogue. I thought Sam was stronger when she wasn't speaking, but then she'd open her mouth and all that inner strength and beauty would disappear. interesting concept for a book, poorly executed

I've read a lot of Susan Stoker books and love them all, but this wasn't one of my favorites. It's light and easy, but I wish the story had more Sam and Alex together and less reality show. I also didn't really enjoy all the "not like other girls" talk in the beginning.
I do plan on finishing the series--I truly love Susan's books--but I definitely prefer her more alpha-male series.

I loved this one. It is different than her other stories but still very awesome.

Sweet heavens, I read another "clean" romance....and I liked it! The story is so cute I'm willing to forgo the scorching sex scenes I usually enjoy!
Books that take place in a "reality TV" setting are some of my faves, but usually I find them very unrealistic. Outback Hearts had a lot more of the realistic behind the scenes type of stuff that might actually take place. I'll forgive authors for not getting into all the nitty gritty details of reality TV making, but I need a little bit of the practical side.
Poor Sammi/Sam and Al/Alex - totally made me laugh that they were forced to change their names. I was really rooting for Sam, even though I knew she would get her happy ending. Some of those challenges sucked! Looking forward to more in the series.
