GRR Review: The Honeymoon Prize by Melissa McClone

The Honeymoon Prize by Melissa McClone managed to combine two tropes: marriage of convenience, AND reality TV show into an interesting premise: What if a couple (who were childhood sweethearts) were forced into a marriage of convenience, then was kinda roped into a newlyweds reality TV show where they have to pretend to the camera... except it wasn't really pretense?

Nick Cahill and Adelaide "Addie" Sinclair would have married each other if not for the circumstances that drove them apart. Many years later, he's back in town after retiring from the military and taking up bodyguarding. She's unemployed and looking for a way out. They married for convenience only, both burned out and thought they had no love to give. They won a honeymoon vacation, only to find it's actually a TV reality show about newlyweds on the tropical paradise. Soon pretending love for the cameras turned very real indeed... 

The characters are damaged but realistically, not excessively, and the love is sweet. Rather enjoyed the tale.
