I ADORED Paige as Emmy’s best friend in the Royal Player so reading her story in Hot Bachelor was not even up for debate. We follow Paige back to California where she has gotten a gig to work on the reality show Ever After. The problem is, she has to get there first! Travel has been an absolute nightmare and time is not on her side. Neither is her losing battle with motion sickness. Desperately needing to get some space, she sneaks into the first class cabin and bumps into some serious eye candy. The smirk on Dash’s face tells her everything she needs to know (well that and the giggling flight attendants). After an emergency landing leaves her stranded and her wallet can’t afford the last rental car, she finds herself being rescued by none other than her bathroom run-in. Both heading for New York, she decides riding with a stranger is better than missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime! Taking a break at a roadside motel, what should be a quick stop before finishing the trip turns into an almost hook-up before Dash and Paige are interrupted in the strangest way possible! Fast forward to Paige’s first day on the set and the person standing in front of her is no other than her ride along partner Dash. As he is the bachelor on the show, he has become forbidden fruit but Dash doesn’t seem to agree and is determined to finish what they started. 

This book is INSANELY hot! Add the element of sneaking around and the fear of getting caught and it just makes it next level. Written in a dual POV formula, I always enjoy being able to get inside the heads of the characters and the insecurity floating between these two was priceless.
