Madelyn (who prefers "Midge") walked away from her trust fund and her Hollywood father when he forced her to choose between joining him vs. her own destiny as a writer. Six years later, she's within a few credits to graduate when her scholarship got canceled and she was forced to talk to him... He needed her as a temporary contestant on his latest reality TV creation: Date a Billionaire. Strange thing... she had just advised a billionaire, Brody, to NOT get on national TV, as choosing among 20 women is NOT really going to repair his damaged reputation (spread by one bitter Felicia). // Brody found Midge to be absolutely fascinating. He doesn't date (too busy), but he had to date for publicity, so they are arranged by his assistant... except one of them, Felicia, after failing to entice him, decided to spread rumors about him instead. After realizing Midge is the director's daughter and will be one of the contestants, Brody decided that he will participate after all to woo Midge. But his nemesis, Felicia, will also be on the show. And Felicia does NOT play fair... and she has an accomplice as a fellow contestant, who has her own agenda...
Part of the book was great, but some of the twists seem way too convenient. And the darkest hour really doesn't make any sense and can be attributed to the "sensitive ears" trope (i.e. taking things out of context and chose to interpret it as betrayal). Brody doesn't really have that sort of problem, does he? Have him suddenly flip about betrayal was out of character, or perhaps, not foreshadowed enough.
