Hi, book buddies :-) This is exciting for me as I am a passionate fan of this author's romantic and hot novels. Katy Evans has a new book out and look at this cover!
MY OPINION
My first
impression? Wow.
Sorry if this
review is too long, just know that I loved the book :-D The hero is delicious!
Yes, wow,
pretty much that’s what I felt all along, really.
From the
catchy title to the mouthwatering cover and the rollercoaster plot, I just
couldn’t take a breath that wasn’t full of sighs or laughs or thrilled yells.
I gravitate
towards this author’s books because they’re passionate and addictive, and this
one is pure adrenaline and chemistry. The first chapters introduce the main
characters and their financial plight that moves them to even remotely consider
going ahead into an audition to take part in a TV show à la Survivors.
I loved every
step of the build-up as they audition for it, then pass the first round which I
found imaginative and exciting, and finally embark on the most physically
challenging, mind-testing, exhilarating set of missions to be pulled off.
While street-wise,
hot-as-sin Luke and bookish, cute Penny run and sweat for their prize like in
the Herculean twelve jobs, this impossible couple starts feeling and desiring,
and the heat between them is epic!
It feels like a marathon through hell, where they pant, fear, bleed and put their wills to the test, but all the time they’re part of this bizarre TV contest and their hearts fall in love despite the onslaught. I loved it, though I was dreading the conflict that would inevitably send their relationship to a screeching halt. I didn’t think it was as bad as in the previous novel, where it didn’t make sense. Here it is almost expected and helps with the drama and with making their actions take a less forced path.

In the end, it works really great and
they get rid of all the insecurities and social pressure. It’s a thrilling ride
till the end. And Luke is really loveable.

WHAT IS THIS BEAUTY ABOUT?
Million Dollar Marriage, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Katy Evans.
If someone had bet Nell a million dollars that she would be saying “I do” to a complete stranger on national television, she’d have called them crazy, but with her crushing student loan payments sending her deep into the red, she’s out of options. This should be nothing more than a business transaction—until she sets eyes on her groom, and everything changes.
The game is on the instant Luke spots Penelope “Nell” Carpenter. He’s out for the money, yes, but getting a little dirty with Nell doesn’t sound too bad either. Everyone knows he’s not the marrying kind, so it’s a good thing it’s just for show. God knows he’s the worst guy his pretty wife should pick for real.
They have nothing in common, but if they want the grand prize, they’ll have to beat out eight other couples. Proving that total opposites attract should be easy enough…as long as they don’t fall in love in the process.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT
I’m going to lose my lunch.
It’s the live finale the entire country has been waiting for. The arena is packed to the gills with reporters, cameras pointed at us. Flashbulbs go off, and my future seems to flash through my eyes with them.
Everything depends on what will happen in the next hour. We could give our answer in a split second, but not now. I know the announcer will drag things out to the point of sheer madness. Recaps of poignant moments from the season, interviews with contestants, performances by “special celebrity guests” who are also fans of the show.
It’s all meant to build up to the moment of truth. Every one of the people in this arena, every one of the thirteen million people watching at home—they’re all waiting on the edge of their seats with the same question.
Will they . . . or won’t they?
I wish to god we could just give our answer and be done.
He’s so close, but he might as well be a million miles away. Our fingers entwined, he waves at the crowd cheering our names. His hand isn’t the least bit clammy. I manage a peek at him, his chiseled features, his relaxed smile, and my throat catches.
No wonder the world is in love with him. No wonder he’s been the fan favorite since week one.
This is it. The end. Or . . .
I look over at him and say, “Luke . . . I’m not . . .”
He shakes his head almost imperceptibly. “It’s okay,” he murmurs, his fingers stroking my palm. “Breathe, Penny. Just breathe.”
So I do. But air is not the only thing I need to make me okay right now.
We’ve been through so much, more than most couples will go through in entire lifetimes.
And now we’re about to make the decision that will shape our future.
To think, seven months ago, I didn’t even know Luke Cross. Three months ago, I despised him. But somewhere along the line, things changed.
Somewhere along this crazy little adventure we’ve been having, played out on television for the entire world to see, I did what I told myself I’d never do.
I don’t even know how it happened, but as I look back, it seems so inevitable. Like I couldn’t have stopped it, even if I’d tried.
But just because it was meant to happen doesn’t mean it will last forever . . .
