Reality TV Romances #2
Stuck on You
If being forced to team up with reality TV’s favorite bad girl wasn’t enough, falling for her brother might just make this reality show a real nightmare.
Paige Anderson agrees to be on a new reality show called Treasure Trekkers, a show where contestants use handheld GPS units to find hidden caches filled with prizes, with her good friend Cassidy. But when Cassidy is unable to compete, Chip Cormack, the show’s producer, steps in with a last-minute replacement to be Paige’s partner—Zoe Oliver, reality TV’s favorite bad girl.
Jack Miles (aka Miles) is a mountain climber with the body to prove it. Miles convinced his climbing partner Ben to come on the show with him for one reason—to prove to Ben that they can still hike together, regardless of the fact that Ben lost his foot in a tragic accident. Miles isn’t about to let anything get in his way of winning—not even beautiful Paige.
But when Miles and Paige are thrown into an alliance with their teammates, working closely together leads to more than just good strategy. Can Paige steal Miles’ heart while surviving Zoe long enough to win the game?

Heather Thurmier definitely knows how to write amazing characters. Stuck on You is another hit in my opinion and it is one of the funniest books I have ever read.
When Paige was dumped on the reality show The One by Brad the bachelor she wasn’t sure what would be next for her. When the producers calls her with a tempting offer to join her best friend in a new adventure reality show she decides with a little hesitation that she will join in. Things take a turn when Cassidy her best friend can’t compete and her new partner ends up being the infamous mean girl Zoe from The One. It is not easy having Zoe for a partner and add to that the hunky mountain man in the competing team and her focus is all over the place. Filled with awesome humor, sizzling romance, and lots of adventure Stuck on You delivers a fun story.
I am quickly becoming addicted to these stories. I have to admit that I do watch a little bit of reality TV and reading about them is even more fun. Paige was such a fun character. I liked her in the first book Falling for You and it was so great to see her as the star in this one. She deserved a happy ever after. It wasn’t all roses though. I did get a little bit ticked at her when she blew up at Miles for something that she should have understood. I really thought she should have understood why he did what he did especially after he spilled his guts to her. I was so disappointed in her. I’m glad that things did eventually work out for her, but I thought that was a very poor moment for her. Miles was great and I was so glad he stuck to his guns time and time again. I was right there with him when he said she needed to loose the heels. Who hikes in spiked heels?! Beyond all that though their love story was so cute and very funny. I have so many passages bookmarked that just made me giggle and I enjoyed this new show that the author created.
I truly loved Miles and Paige even with her bad moment at the end but the shining star for me was Zoe. After reading Falling for You I was sure I hated her, but much to my surprise she is one of my favorite characters. I know the next book will be hers and I can’t wait to read it. I have a feeling it will be one of the best of the series. Zoe is hiding so much and I can’t wait to see it all spilled.

A steamy romance with a healthy dose of adventure packed into a faux reality TV show makes for a yummy read in Heather Thurmeier's Stuck on You.
In the follow-up to her equally delicious novel, Falling for You (read my review of it here), Paige Anderson, a former contestant on a dating show, is brought back to television to film an Amazing Race-type show with her former contestant-turned BFF Cassidy. When her friend is no longer able to participate -- for a reason I suspected and was glad to see confirmed -- she is partnered with Zoe, a rival from their season on the show. Thrown for a loop, Paige is determined to make the most of her time on the show, which she hopes will give her more confidence before she goes home.
Enter Jack Miles, the hunky outdoorsman, and member of a competing team. He's on the show to overcome past demons and raise money for his buddy, who has a mountain of medical bills to pay after an accident. He also has a secret history with Zoe, but is not sharing that with anyone.
The moment he and Paige set eyes on each other, their motives change and the sparks fly. Soon, competing for money and adventure are only part of what is at stake.
For starters, I love series that feature characters from previous books. Not only was I thrilled to see Cassidy and Evan in this book, with the latter playing a pretty big part, but I liked getting better acquainted with Zoe. From the moment Zoe and Paige were paired together I was delighted. One is a man-eater, who is secretly nice, and the other is the sweetest person ever, who has a bit more of fiesty streak. How could this not make for entertainment?
Though she was a secondary character once again in this book, I found myself more and more drawn to Zoe. She is enough of a dick to keep my interested, but her secret nice streak makes me like her. Both make for a character I want to know more about, which is a good thing, because it looks like she'll have her own story in book three.
Let's talk about Miles. For starters, I love his full name: Jack Miles. Already he sounds like a man who's arms I want wrapped around me, and who's shoulder I want to bite. Throw in his rugged good looks, outdoorsy interests and the fact that he teaches kids, and I had a big old crush on Miles from page one.
Unfortunately, the mysterious secret he is hiding -- particularly his connection to Zoe -- made me suspicious of him for most of the story. Even though I knew there had to be a perfectly logical explanation, this is a romance novel, I had the feeling I would not like it once revealed. Turns out I was wrong on this front. This twist was not expected, and I loved it.
Though I liked Paige in general, and was super excited to know she would have her own story after reading book one, I found her a bit annoying at times in this story. I imagine this mostly had to do with her continuing to wear high heels while trekking through the woods and mountains. I spent four years writing safety publications, and the thought of not wearing appropriate personal protective equipment in the wilderness freaks me out. Aside from that, I truly enjoyed watching her character develop more confidence and take more ownership of her life.
While I enjoyed the sexual tension and chemistry between Paige and Miles, what I most liked about this story was the element of adventure. The more unique setting for the story made for some unpredictable moments, and kept me always interested.
Now, I can't wait to see what kind of reality show Zoe goes on after her track record of three times the contestant never the winner...

This book was part of a blog tour, I received a copy for my honest review
Paige is going to be on the new reality show called Treasure Trekkers she was supposed to be competing with her friend Cassidy but when she has to back out Paige gets stuck with Zoe. Zoe is the bitch queen from Falling For You and Paige hated her. When Miles and Ben show up Paige finds herself attracted to Miles and a whole new game is started. This book was entertaining and filled with humor, I just got finished reading Les Miserables again so this was book exactly what I needed to get out of my book hangover. Paige is sweet, caring and seems to have grown a bit of a backbone since we last saw her. Zoe is once again selfish and catty, but she does has little instances where her softer side comes out. Miles comes across as brisk as first but once you get further into the book his personality really starts to shine and you can see what a great guy he really is. I did have a problem with Paige wearing high heals the entire time, I love heals and could run a marathon in those suckers but there is no way I would wear them hiking or repelling down a cliff. The sexual tension in the book added a little mystery to the book, will they or won't they was present a lot. This book was an enjoyable read light and fluffy with tons of adventure. I really liked the book and can't wait for the next one to come out.

Heather...please keep writing these Reality Romances, cause I sure love reading them!
STUCK ON YOU, which is book two in the Reality TV Romance Series by Heather, was SO MUCH FUN! Heather writes romances that suck you in from page one and you hope they never end. And heroes like Miles...swoon...who have you wishing you were the one stuck in a mud puddle with him!
In STUCK ON YOU, our heroine is Paige, who was one of the contestants from FALLING FOR YOU, book one. Paige is tired with being the un-noticed girl, so she makes some plans with Zoe, her new partner and old-nemesis, to become the "Noticed Girl", particularly by a certain someone, who has some kind of history with Zoe, but no one is talking.
As the story unravels, secrets are revealed, kiss are exchanged and maybe a little love making is had, and two people fall in love. I truly adored this story! The behind the scenes action was written so that you felt as if you were right there, on the show with Paige, Miles, Zoe and Ben. I can't wait for Zoe's story in the next book of the series, LOST WITHOUT YOU, coming out this summer.

After her unsuccessful stint as a contestant on the bachelor reality TV show The One, Paige Anderson has agreed to compete in another reality show, a geocaching adventure show called Treasure Trekkers, similar to The Amazing Race. Thinking that she would be partnered with her friend Cassidy Quinn, who was the winner of The One, Paige couldn't wait to spend some time with her friend while racing for treasures in caches hidden around the NY metropolitan and lower Hudson Valley areas. But a sudden twist to the game came right before it started, when Cassidy had to bow out of the competition, and suddenly Paige found herself partnered with Zoe Oliver, the bitchy bad-girl nemesis from The One. And if that isn't enough, Paige finds herself attracted to a hunky muscled mountain climber named Jack Miles, who is partnered with his best friend and climbing partner Ben. Can Paige win the race and Jack's heart?
In the second book of the Reality TV Romance Trilogy, author Heather Thurmeier once again transports her readers into the world of reality TV with another tale of romance and adventure. In Stuck On You, the story picks up where it left off in book one, Falling For You, with the focus of the story on the lovable but shy Paige Anderson. With a cameo appearance from Cassidy Quinn, the main character in the first book; returning characters, Zoe, Evan, Chip and Spencer; and new characters Jack Miles and Ben; the reader follows the ten teams who embark on a twenty-eight day endurance adventure in the search to find as many of the 500 treasures hidden in caches only using a GPS, in order to gain the most cumulative points and win the half million dollar grand prize. And it wouldn't be a reality TV show if there wasn't some flirting and romance thrown into the mix!
This was such a fun story full of adventure, humor and romance. You can't help but get caught up in the action of the geocaching adventure where the teams have to overcome challenges and obstacles; and then add in the steamy attraction between Paige and Jack into the mix, and you have a story that keeps you entertained and turning the pages.
I had a mixed reaction to Paige, there were times I was in her corner and then there were times I wanted to shake the hell out of her and tell her to get a backbone! But when you add hunky Jack Miles as a love interest, I found myself wanting Paige and Jack to get together. Jack oh Jack, you stole my heart! I loved the story surrounding his past and the awesome friendship he has with his best friend Ben. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite character Zoe ... oh my goodness, how I so wanted to hate this bitchy girl, who knew she hid her true sweetness?! I'm a converted fan and can't wait to read her story in the third book of the trilogy, Lost Without You.
With a wonderful cast of characters who are real, have flaws, and are easy to relate to; engaging dialogue and quirky interactions; a richly descriptive NY setting for the geocaching adventure; and a steamy romance that will make you sigh, Stuck On You is an entertaining read that will keep you stuck on the trilogy!
Stuck On You is the second book in the Reality TV Romance Trilogy. While each book can be a stand alone read, why not take the time and follow it in sequence, as one book flows so smoothly into the next.

Paige got her book and I loved it! When Paige is asked to do another reality show this time with her best friend as her partner, she agrees. I fun race-style show to win some cash and prizes sounds like some girl-bonding time. That is until the show is about to start and her best friend can't do it. What happens when your nightmare becomes the person that you have to work with? YIKES!
Miles is the type of friend that we all want to have, secrets and all. He feels responsible for an accident and will do anything to set it right.
Heather is an amazingly talented writer and I have had the honor and privilege of working on a couple of her tours. She will continue to be one of those authors that I hunt out to make sure I have read everything that I can! She has a way of making you connect to the characters and I love that!

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one: Falling for You. The TV show itself in this book...was a bit a dull. It's just people driving and hiking all day...and one dramatic injury by another team.
But Heather throws in some drama: a romance between competitors Paige and Miles, a prosthetic leg and a tragic story in the past that has Miles feeling loads of guilt and responsibility, a secret brother/sister relationship that just throws a surprise twist.
I wasn't as entertained though. As I said above, the challenges and the show itself just struck me as boring. I'd have liked to have seen some trivia questions, riddles, or something a bit more challenging than simply driving and walking thrown at these people.

STUCK ON YOU is a great, sweet read on a cold winter’s night. Set against the backdrop of a popular ‘Amazing Race-type’ reality show, author Heather Thurmeier gives us a heroine in Paige Anderson who has foibles and self-doubts that are the perfect counterpoint to confident, super-sexy competitor Jack Miles. Their chemistry steams right off the pages. Add in a buddy with a tragic past, an unexpected (and delightfully bitchy) teammate for our heroine, and the constant tension of the game, and you have a story you’ll keep reading until The End. STUCK ON YOU is a romance to satisfy your happy-endings cravings.

This is a wonderful series dealing with reality TV! I highly recommend reading this series, not only was it a great love story, but laugh out loud funny! I have read all of Heather' s books and have loved each one of them! Her writing has a way of sucking you in to point of not wanting to put the book down! Stuck on you was about a reality show similar to Amazing Race, teams had to overcome fears, falling in love and obstacles! An absolute excellent read that I highly recommend!

Trashy romance part 2, but this time they drive around a bunch.

First book by author was good.

I wanted to read, "Stuck on You," when I read it was a romance story with the setting of a new reality show where they must find hidden caches using their GPS units all around New York City. Very nice… two of my favorite things all rolled into one book!
Paige is teamed up with her best friend to compete for some serious cash prizes. She is all ready to go but at the last minute finds out her friend can’t compete and now she has a new partner. And just like a reality show can do, it throws her a twist by pairing her with an old rival. Paige competed against Zoe in another reality show where they were vying for the heart of a handsome bachelor.
Things are not going so well for Paige and Zoe in the competition, but at least Paige has noticed a guy on another team, Miles, and he has noticed her too. She really likes him, but how can she get him to notice just her plain-jane self? Maybe being more like Zoe?? Hmm… does Miles notice? Oh yeah… But Paige is somewhat weary of Miles and Zoe’s relationship though. They seem to know one another outside of the game as well. Do they have a history?
The story is very much about the game and how they all competed, not just the budding relationship between Miles and Paige. There are twists and turns in the game just the same as in Miles and Paige’s new “alliance” of their own. When they finally make it to the finish line will Paige and Miles still have an alliance with each other? Or did they throw it out for the sake of their teammates and the huge prize of winning the whole competition?
This is wrote in a third person POV that sometimes I found a bit confusing. It was about Paige, and then about Miles and then about Paige again. And, at times I felt like the game took front stage to the story of their romance. I would have liked to seen more out of Mile’s and Paige’s relationship. They have a few really hot scenes and there is a lot of innuendo as they are playing the game. This is a sweet read that will have you following along with the game and cheering for them to win, just the same as cheering for Paige and Miles to be together.

"Stuck on You" which I won from Goodreads Giveaways is a warm-hearted, sensual romantic story with a tinge of humour. The plot centers around Paige Anderson a self-conscious contestant on the Treasure Trekkers a reality show similar to "The Amazing Race," except the contestants are racing around the New York metropolitan area and lower Hudson Valley looking for prizes hidden in caches. What Paige soon discovers after her friend Cassidy withdraws from the competition is that she has been partnered with Zoe Oliver a stiletto-heeled, self-indulgent former contestant on another show similar to "The Bachelor ," and that she's attracted to Jack Miles a muscular, good-looking mystery man on Team Everest. Will Paige and Zoe have a fighting chance to win the competition and take home the grand prize? Will Miles and Page's relationship be another showmance or something more?
Underneath the romance and humour that never stops are life lessons on the healing power of friendship,regaining self-esteem as well as the restoration of self-confidence.
The multi-dimensional personalities of the characters add cohesiveness to a well-written and engaging plot. As the competition progresses nervous, diffident Paige Anderson becomes feisty and more confident discarding her self-doubts in the glow of her love for Miles. The irascible Zoe Oliver masks the pain of her scars behind a sharp-tongue, arrogance and pride. The muscled mountain climber Jack Miles is haunted by the past but hides it behind a cool , self-assured demeanor . His glib remarks and moodiness at times conceal a kind, caring and generous heart. Jack's hiking buddy Ben is insecure and apprehensive after a serious accident , but as the race continues reveals a brave and generous nature. I liked the vulnerability of the characters as they struggle not just to win the grand prize but to overcome their Achilles' heel.
This is a romantic novel where you will laugh at the antics of Paige and Zoe, and sympathize with Ben and Miles' struggle to overcome a past heartache.It is well-worth reading.

Review originally posted here: http://mamakittyreviews.com/?p=5462
To be honest with you, after reading Falling for You, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book and I wasn’t disappointed.
I can’t tell you how happy I was to have loveable Paige in the spotlight in this one. She is out to redeem herself after her less than stellar appearance on The One and to spend some quality time with her new best friend Cassidy. This go around her and Cassidy will be paired up on the new show Treasure Trekkers (The Amazing Race meets Geo caching). Paige discovers shortly after arriving that not only will Cassidy not be competing, but that the producers have already filled Cassidy’s spot with none other than Zoe Oliver. Zoe was really quite cruel and shallow in the last book, so I was very anxious to see how this would play out.
Paige soon meets up with Jack Miles (Miles) from an opposing team and they have instant chemistry. Miles has his own reasons for being leery of Zoe.
The hilarity ensues as the teams compete to find the prizes and Paige tries to find her inner Diva. I truly enjoyed watching Paige gain confidence and seeing her break down the barriers of Zoe’s icy exterior. For me, this book was about overcoming for Miles *swoon*, Ben (Miles’ best friend), Paige, and Zoe.
The only thing that really aggravated me was Paige and Zoe’s insistence on wearing stiletto heels for tasks like climbing and hiking. I understand the image they were trying to set, but it seemed unrealistic for them to have been taken seriously.
Overall, Heather Thurmeier gives us a funny, sweet, and insightful romance and I will definitely be reading Zoe’s story in the next book.

I always know I like a book when I can’t stop thinking about the characters, even after I’ve put the book down and finished it. I loved Miles, the true Alpha male hero. There’s just something about a hero who wants to protect and take care of those around him. I find it endearing.
I also loved the fact that this book was a continuation of the first reality-tv series by Heather Thurmeier, Falling for You. Yet, if you haven’t read the first, this one can still be read as a standalone. The tv show that takes place in this book sort of reminds me of Amazing Race, and I love that show! I’m a reality-tv nut, so it’s fun to see what would happen behind the scenes. And believe me, Paige and Miles have a lot of fun behind the scenes.
Paige is a cute, fun and quirky heroine. I relate to her in so many ways – sometimes clumsy, sometimes insecure – but she finds herself through the Treasure Trekkers show, becomes more independent and likeable. Miles and Paige really complement each other.
The one oddity that I found in this read was the fact that Paige and Zoe both ran a GeoTracking race in stilettos. Although, this is cute, it just isn’t realistic. How the heck can you climb a cliff in stilettos? Really?
Overall, I highly recommend this fun romance, especially for reality-tv obsessed romance readers. Heather Thurmeier has done a great job adding humor, fun, a different storyline and a hot hero. Well-done!
4 winks!
By the way, I am looking forward to the third novel in the series, which is Zoe's story. Zoe has been in both books so far and I'm sure it'll be a fun read!

I keep a list of my favorite authors on my computer with their new books that are coming out so I'm always current…Heather Thurmeier has been added to this list. "Stuck on You" was a fantastic read. I was hooked from the first page and that's my kind of book. It had suspense in all the right places and there was no predictability. The characters were original and intriguing making me want to read non-stop. Paige is awkward but endearing and her attraction to Miles had me being attracted to him because I had a clear visual by the description being told. Miles sounds like an all around good guy that is uncommon so it was quite refreshing. I would have liked to see a more in-depth description of Ben but I'm guessing that can be in another book that I would definitely read. Zoe is a huge "B" word and at the end of the book you can understand why she is that way so it will take a very special person to draw out her true self.
The overall reality show theme of the book is one I've never experienced before so that was very interesting to me. I know the story was more about the characters but I would have loved to see more details in how they collect the caches and the challenges needed to get them. Although this wasn't necessary for the integrity of the story; it just would have been interesting.
Zoe, Ben, Paige and Miles really complemented each other well and I was sad when the book ended, I could have kept reading but it ended with the possibility of more stories to come. I can't wait!

*I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway to give it an honest review*
So here it goes...
First off, I was all set to give this book 3 stars because it was good, but there were some parts that just did not flow as well as the rest of the book. However, the last two pages made me change my mind completely. One of my complaints was the static nature of Zoe...I mean sure she was nice to Ben, and she got a little nicer as the book progressed, but there wasn't much of a character change...or so I thought. In that epilogue, when she reveals her true connection to Ben and all of her own struggles...I almost scream! That was such a powerful twist to the end of the book.
So, for the most part, I thought the book was good. I really liked Paige and Miles together, but I did not really care for either character as a character. They make a great couple, and I really enjoyed reading their story, but both were kind of (and sometimes really) annoying. I HATED those ridiculous shoes Paige wore for most of the book. Why would someone even think they could rock climb in stilettos? It just did not make any sense.
And Miles...oh, Miles. I get that he cared about his friend and I really like that characteristic, but it was so obvious that he was suffocating Ben. It just made me really angry.
But the plot was good, and the dialogue was believable, which is sometimes not the case in romance novels, so that was much appreciated. For the most part, I really enjoyed the whole reality show concept and the adventure aspect. The only thing I would have liked to see, was a bit more backstory on Paige, but also more interaction between Miles and Zoe.

The first book in this series was pretty great, as it was a bit of a throwback to ABC's The Bachelor, but with a twist. It was easy to connect to the characters and to cheer for them to get their Happily Ever After. Then you have THIS book, and it couldn't be more opposite from that first book!
Paige is a very mousy, plain Jane character, that I couldn't remember from the first book. She never really stood up for herself fully until the end of the book, and it was a long time to suffer for its coming! I really came to hate her character.
Zoe, the evil competitor from the first story is back, and reached new heights of loathing for me in this book! She was so shallow, even when she's supposedly being "deep" that I just couldn't get behind her as a character. Knowing that she's the heroine of the final book has me abandoning the series outright.
Miles is confusing in how he is named, because both Jack and Miles were used in reference to him, and I thought it was two seperate characters. He also is so wracked with guilt over his partner's accident that he spends most of the book whining about it and hovering over his partner so that another injury can't happen again. It got very old, very quickly.
The plot for this one revolves around a game that smacks heavily of CBS' Amazing Race. Yes, I get that the author is writing a Reality TV book series, but can she not invent her own games instead of ripping off ones that have already aired? I've deleted the entire series from my Kindle Library and won't be finishing the third book or reading the author's work in the future.

Stuck on You in book two in Heather Thurmeier's reality series. Each book has had a different reality show theme. The first was a dating show reminiscent of The Bachelor. The third book is a Survivor-esque show. But in this, the 2nd book, it's an Amazing Race style show involving Geocaches hidden around New York City. Paige Anderson was supposed to team up with Cassidy (from book 1), but when Cassidy is unable to compete, her replacement partner is none other than Zoe Oliver, the bad girl finalist from book 1. Zoe was completely unlikable in book one. What could her and Paige possibly have in common? It turns out they may have Jack Miles in common. Miles is on the show with his best friend Ben. They were adventure seekers in their former life, and after a devastating accident, Miles is hoping to help Ben restore his Ben's confidence so he can get back his adventure seeking buddy. Miles is immediately attracted to Paige, but Paige is lacking in self-confidence and is still smarting from the rejection she faced in book 1. Zoe has a plan to help Paige become more confident, because as anyone knows, confidence is sexy. I definitely liked many of the scenes between Paige and Miles. Both were relatable characters. However, the shoes Paige chose to wore absolutely annoyed me, especially when Miles nearly begs her, for her safety, to choose something more acceptable to the occasion. Her stubbornness and low self-esteem were turn-offs. You did get to see a softer side of Zoe emerge though, and that, along with Miles sexy looks, were enough to make the book a rather enjoyable afternoon read.

I received a copy of this novel from Heather Thurmeier, in exchange for my honest opinion, and I absolutely LOVED it! After reading Falling For You last year, and declaring it as one of my most favorite reads of 2012, I couldn't wait to read Paige's story. The story picks up with Paige Anderson and Cassidy Quinn competing in the game show, Treasure Trekkers. Paige soon finds out that Cassidy is unable to compete, she ends up being stuck with Zoe Oliver. We also meet Team Everest, which consists of Miles and his best friend (who lost his foot in an accident), Ben. As the story goes along, Paige and Miles grow closer, until she finds out about his past with Zoe. I've never been the type of person to sit there and watch Survivor type reality shows, but I was completely enthralled in this novel. There was one point in the novel, towards the end, where I thought Paige was a little too hard on Miles and could've been a bit more understanding, but it ended up coming together very well. There were so many things I loved about this novel, but the one thing I absolutely loved was that we got to see Zoe a little deeper than we got to in Falling For You. Overall, this was a great read. Definitely one of those, "stop everything you're doing and click buy" novels. I can't wait to read Zoe's story!!

2.5 stars
Ok, so I thought it was a cute read maybe a bit predictable until about 85% through than I wanted to hit my head against the wall.
Really you're going to go friggin' hiking in stilettos. Come on. Right there I would dump her ass not be turned on and than when the whole drama with her thinking she chose his buddy who he came on the bloody show to start with. How ignorant are you? He just bloody met her of course he's going to chose his friend.
Ok, now that I got that rant out of the way and I stuck through it there is something about this series that draws me in. It looks like there will be a another book with Zoe and I am oddly drawn in and will be reading that book as well to find out her story.
This series is kind of like a guilty pleasure. The book was light and easy to read and Miles and Paige are good together even though she hikes in stilettos . Ugh!

Book 2 in the Reality TV Romances Series
So this is pretty much a stand-alone read & that's good because I haven't read the first one yet.
Paige was a former contestant on a dating reality show & the producer asked her to compete with her best friend in his next reality show called Treasure Trekkers. When Paige reports to the set, she finds out her friend Cassidy can't compete & she's paired up with another former contestant from the dating show instead. The catch is she doesn't like Zoe. No one likes Zoe.
She starts checking out one of the other treasure hunters who seems to know Zoe better than he's letting on. She's really into him, but thinks he'd never go for anyone like her. Zoe convinces her to agree to confidence building lessons in order to catch Miles's attention. And it seems to work.
She does get rather stupid about hiking around in stilettos though (IMO) and throws a hissy when Miles decides to do a climb alone with his partner Ben after the two teams are in an alliance to show Ben that he believes in Ben's ability to climb again after the loss of one of Ben's feet. C'mon now, how could she possibly be mad at the man for wanting to help Ben after he's explained how he felt so guilty about the accident that claimed Ben's foot in the first place. *rolls eyes*
Then the ending was rather abrupt.

This book was funtastic!! I read it straight through from begining to end - non-stop!
It had adventure, sweet romance, humor, and even a tiny bit of mystery! I loved how Paige wasn't quite comfortable with who she was and tried all sorts of things to change but, in the end she realized she was perfect just the way she was. I thought that Miles pushing Ben to "get back out there" was very sweet and he honestly thought he was doing the right thing for his best friend. By the end, I even liked Zoe (and look forward to finding out if she will get her own book)

It was a cute book. Easy, fun read. I like reality TV, so I found the plot rather enjoyable. I did not, however, like that the main character needed to wear stiletto heels to feel confident & sexy and jeopardized her safety to continue to wear them. It would have been much better written if she would have realized after she hooked up with the boy, that the shoes were not necessary and dangerous and gone back to her hiking boots. She was too smart a girl to continue to wear such shoes during the activities she was doing.

I didn't read Falling for You but I sure will now that I've finished Stuck on you. I need to know what was going on before this book. I'm sort of a reality TV junkie so it made it that much more enjoyable. I won't spoil it for you because you need to read it! Funny and adorable I am so glad I waited until I could give it my full attention. Well done, now to read Falling for you.
July 8, 2013
Um....where's the real ending? Seriously, where is it? We find out who wins but then it pretty much just stops? But not before setting it up for a book about Zoe. But really- I don't give a crap about that. I want to know what happened to Paige and Miles after the show. Disappointed is what I am.

well, the first parts were funny. didn't like girl much. i like zoe better. shit hit bottom when she decided to say that he CHOSE his TEAMMATE and not her in a game where TEAMS go together. irritated me.
didn't seem like love to me. it's just like a schoolgirl crush.

I couldn't even finish it. It started out good, but then the main character started to annoy me. And then she started to annoy me more until at 82% I just couldn't bring myself to read any more. If you want to know why... read my updates while reading the book. No spoilers. Just annoyance.
