Jane Millionaire by Janice Lynn

(356 pages)



On the set of Wolf TV's new reality show Jane Millionaire, Jill, a.k.a. Jane, finds herself totally turned off by the contestants and totally turned on by the show's producer, Rob Lancaster.

Jill Davidson is the sensible older sister, far too sensible to take part in reality TV. She is a respectable Police Officer for goodness sake! But… when her younger sister Jessie gets the leading role on Jane Millionaire, then falls in love and gets engaged to her own Prince Charming before filming begins, Jessie persuades Jill to bail her out and become Jane. The problem is Jill is not a Millionaire nor is she a Princess and she has no idea what Jessie has said to get the part!
When she arrives at the mansion to begin the show, sparks begin to fly, although they are not flying between her and one of the dozen eligible bachelors she is supposed to be pairing up with. Instead it is Rob Lancaster, one of the producers that is succeeding in getting ‘Jane’ hot under the collar. The problem is the feeling is mutual.
Rob thinks Jill is Jessie playing Jane. Jill desperately wants Rob but knows it is not allowed. Between one-on-one (literally) basketball games and fumbles in the grounds things begin to get trickier and trickier. As the couple’s attraction grows they try harder and harder not to act upon it. They both know that no good will come from it. If Rob gives in to his attraction his entire future could be in jeopardy, Jill is more than conscious of the twenty million viewers that could be watching her and voting for the bachelor they want to see he with and she doesn’t want to be exposed as a fraud. Neither of them are entirely aware of the hidden motives playing out far behind the scenes of the show, but something is about to happen…
Jane Millionaire makes a really fun and enjoyable read, getting you involved with the characters and the happenings of the show. The idea of setting this budding romance with a reality TV show as the backdrop is pure genius. It provides a fascinating and fun supporting cast whilst managing to increase the intrigue regarding the leading couple.
Although from the beginning, you a fairly clear idea of how the story will end, you certainly have lots of fun getting there! A great debut and I look forward to reading more books by Janice Lynn.
