GRR Reviews Desire in the Everglades by Stacy Hoff

Stephanie is a TV producer who's barely appreciated, and too busy to find love. She wants instead to write romance novels, but she doesn't have time. Her fiancee ended up bedding her cousin (who seems to have a sex addiction). Then her life turned upside down when her boss wanted her to produce a show called Evergladiator: a hunky survivalist Colin will be dropped in the everglades of Florida, with just a knife and needs to survive 12 days... for one million dollars. Except there is no safety crew. // Colin has survived war, and he's fit. And he needed the money to pay off his family farm's final balloon payment. And he's attracted to Stephanie, but it could be considered cheating to be dating the show's producer. What he didn't know the show's execs are going to be ramping up the danger and drama by sending more dangerous animals his way... hungry crocs, even a wild warthog... But he's determined to survive... and win, if only to get back to her...

A reality show with NO safety crew? Is that even LEGAL? Tension was dialed up pretty good. But romance? There really wasn't that much of it.
