Book Giveaway - The Reluctant Bachelorette

9:00 AM | Posted by Cami Checketts | | | Edit Post

Unknowingly cast as the bachelorette for her town’s charity event, Taycee Emerson wants out. Especially when she discovers her old teenage crush, Luke Carney, is one of the bachelors and it's up to the viewers--not her--to decide which bachelors stay or go.

Coerced into participating, Taycee does what any self-preserving girl would do. She launches a subtle attack on Luke’s good name with the hope of getting him voted off the show. Unfortunately, Luke's an eye-for-an-eye kind of guy, and when he discovers what she's up to, it means revenge.

But when their pranks go south, will they screw up any chance they have at a future together, or will they be able to forgive and forget and prove that love really does conquer all?

I loved this book and apparently other readers agree with me as it has gotten only five-star reviews on Amazon and is ranked #20 for humorous fiction. Click here for my review.

Here is a little excerpt to entice you to read more.

“Thanks for convincing me to come,” Taycee said. “I needed this.”
“It didn’t take much convincing.”
“True,” she said. “Were you on your way here when you saw me?”
“No. I was headed home.”
“Well, thanks for changing your plans.”
Luke hesitated, feeling like he’d stumbled upon another chance at coming clean. Who knew how many more chances he’d have? He cleared his throat, his heart hammering. “Anything to get some time with you.”
The silence that followed made him feel exposed, as if he’d put his heart on a platter for her to take or wave away. A few more seconds came and went without a word. Not good. Was she trying to think of a nice way of letting him down, or was she scared too—like Luke? Hopefully the latter. He should reach for her hand, touch her, something. Only a few inches and his hand would brush against hers. Still, Luke hesitated.

Coward. Hold her hand already, you pathetic excuse for someone named Luke.
Before he could talk himself out of it, Luke’s fingers laced through hers. At first her hand hung limply in his, but then her fingers tightened. Luke let out a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding. Her fingers were soft and cold, but her hand fit perfectly in his. Probably the same way she’d feel in his arms or the same way her lips would feel against his.
Luke stared at the starlit sky, feeling that his world had suddenly aligned. As though all the dots had been connected, creating an awesome picture, way better than Hercules or Draco or any of the other constellations out there. He felt something good. Something real. Something he’d never expected to find with his old friend from Shelter Springs, Colorado.
