About this listen

Krystin knows exactly what she wants: a husband, a horse, and a place to hang all her competitive rodeo blue ribbons. But when none of the eligible bachelors in Montana end up being right for her, she turns to reality TV. On Hopelessly Devoted, Krystin will compete against dozens of other women for the heart of this season’s Hopeless Romantic, Josh Rosen. She’s determined to win the perfect life she came here for—if she can just ignore the glossy brunette whose crimson smile gives her goosebumps.

Lauren has never done anything for the right reasons—and she’s definitely not on Hopelessly Devoted to win Josh’s heart. Lauren’s plan is simple: stay on the show long enough to build her social media following, and then gracefully leave when it's her turn to be eliminated. With enough followers, she’ll finally have the clout to do whatever she wants—including come out of the proverbial walk-in closet. But the longer she stays on the show, the more she finds herself tangled up in a certain blonde’s lasso.

But neither contestant expects a heteronormative dating show to challenge their own deeply-ingrained ideas of who they are—and what they want. Fans of The Charm Offensive and Love Island will swoon for this sparkling debut romcom.

Thus was a fun, well written romance that follows a TV show template we all know about but puts a twist on the outcome. Fun and creative.

This was a story and a half. I was really worried about who would end up together. I would say more, but I don't want to give anything away. I will say that Josh was a very nice guy. Myself, I would be willing to take just about any of the women. This was a good story; however, these kinds of shows seem to belittle women. Come on people, buy this audible book and let's compare notes.

I adore this book. It’s the best one I’ve listened to in awhile. The story was so sweet. The buildup felt really natural and compelling, The spice was always intentional and never over the top or extremely… medical like I’ve noticed in other books. This book was cozy and I got really invested! I’m definitely going to look for books like this from now on.

I really liked this book, but the author failed big time on research or editing. I cringed so many times while listening to Krystin’s rodeo queen experience. It will probably only irritate someone who has a background that includes rodeo knowledge but it’s very noticeable that it wasn’t import enough to the author to get it reviewed.

A sapphic rom com with heart!

Initially hard to like one of the protagonist but she grows on you. A delightful romance for people who want more gay dating shows.

This was such a fun story! It felt like I was watching reality TV. The MCs were great and their relationship was really well built and believable. The narration was spot on. Has some spice to it and a HEA.

All the right reasons!
