Love Reality (The Donovans Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 379 ratings

A Sexy STANDALONE romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Nana Malone!!



A romantic who believes in love…


Walking love disaster, Mia Donovan, is a reality television production assistant by day, secret dating blogger, Lonely Girl, by night. All she has to do to get the job of a lifetime is face her fears and step in front of the camera. Unfortunately that also means dating her nemesis, Single Guy, for the entire world to see.

A cynic giving love advice…

Reluctant, dating columnists, Ryan Matthews, otherwise known as Single Guy, thinks reality-dating shows are soul-sucking endeavors that have more to do with selling unrealistic expectations than love. But for a shot at writing serious stories, he’s willing to go undercover on Love Reality to do an exposé on the dating competition. What he doesn’t count on is falling in love.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling author, Nana Malone writes Sexy Feel-Good Romance and loves all things romance and adventure.

That love started with a tattered romantic suspense she "borrowed" from her cousin. It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She's been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.

    The Donavan series rocks. With each sibling you find out more about how they became a member of the family and just how awesome their mom & father are (Their story needs to be told). This is Mia's story she is a reality tv producer and a blogger. Her biggest competition is Ryan Matthews fellow blogger whom she clashes with in opinion. When Mia becomes part of the show she produces, the last person she expects to be apart if the show is Ryan. All she wants to do is ignore the attraction and desire from their accidental date. But that becomes impossible with him now a contesting trying to win Mia's love. As they navigate through the show, they discover just how unrealistic the show really is and how most of what the audience sees is rigged. Mia awakes Ryan's heart and there is no way he will allow her to walk away when the threat to expose who he is has been issued. He'll do whatever it takes to protect her and prove his love.

    I've read stories in this series out of order, which is OK, but you'd understand more if you read them in order. As with other stories I've read by Nana Malone, Love Reality is entertaining with a blend of humor, drama, serious chemistry, at least one meddling evil character, and personal demons to muddy the waters on the way to HEA. In this story you have two skeptical characters - Mia who writes the Lonely Girl blog while working on the Love Reality dating show. Mia has aspirations to one day become a producer and thinks she has found her chance to make that all happen. Ryan writes a dating column, Single Guy. He wants to be a features writer. Both Mia and Ryan have been burned in the past. Ryan is charged with getting on the Love Reality dating show so he can do a features piece on the Lonely Girl who will be this season's Cinderella. Little does he know that Lonely Girl is really Mia, a woman he met by chance and hasn't been able to stop thinking about. She knows the truth that he is the writer behind Single Guy (he writes under a pseudonym). Chaos ensues as the truth is revealed in more than one way. Once I started reading I didn't want to put the book down. Typically I give Nana Malone 5 stars when reviewing her books. I didn't for this one because the writing was not as crisp or well-edited as I've become accustomed. The story line was entertaining and pulled me along so really I'd give her a 4.5 if I could. Will definitely look to read more by this author (having read her books in the Blake Securities series - Shameless, Deep, Force, and more recently Undercover Royals with Cheeky Royal)... I have yet to be disappointed.

    I absolutely love this series. This is book two and easy to follow if you missed the first one. I love the instant chemistry between Mia and Ryan. But when Mia realizes who Ryan is? She tries to back off, but their chemistry is too scorching hot. When Ryan realizes who Mia is? Since he doesn’t believe in love, will he end up using her? I really felt the heartbreak, and even had some tears. Can Ryan get Mia to hear his side? I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to start the next one.

    The premise was good, the characters were good, the plot was good until a lot of it went wrong. Mia was abandoned as a child, went into foster care, then was adopted. Even though she was adopted she has an ongoing self-perception that she's unlovable so she holds herself back to protect herself. Ryan walked away from his family's wealth to make his own way. Both of them write blogs about their dating life. They both decide to be on a dating show, with Mia as the "Cinderella", in order to move their careers forward.

    All was going well until there were several major issues. The most significant is that an article was published, supposedly written by Ryan, in which he exposed Mia's belief that she's not lovable to the world. However, the author of the article was listed twice as not Ryan's byline. Then, it was proven that he didn't write the article but throughout the rest of the story that article is referred to several times as though he wrote it and it isn't questioned. He then published his own article, but the detail of that one is never explained. I won't get into the abuse of power from producer Jamie and any repercussions for her were never mentioned. On top of that, the book abruptly ends when there are several chapters left. The remaining chapters are actually the beginning chapters of the next book even though they are numbered as part of this book. Mia and Ryan do get their happily ever after, but I didn't understand why those chapters were lumped together.

    I liked this book until about halfway through, then things just went downhill. I could not ignore the issues I mentioned and it really bothers me that although Ryan's real article was supposedly an expose about the abusive producer Jamie after all the build up it isn't even covered. What was the point of all that if the result isn't shown? Unfortunately, this went from good to bad.

    I'm a huge fan of Nana Malone and this book is now another one of my favorite books of hers. Ryan and Mia have a connection from the first minute they meet that neither can deny. I liked the chemistry between them and the witty dialogue. Couldn't go to bed until I finished the book; it's highly entertaining.

    Another great read from this author, and again my poor dogs have had to wait for their walk till I finish it. Wish Lila had taken over the takedown of the witch in the studios, otherwise very nice read.
