The Engagement Plot

I was surprised when I got an email from the publisher saying they specifically wanted me to read and review this book.  When it came up in my TBR pile, I found that it was much more than I realized it to be.  Krista Phillips takes a poke at the "Bachelor/Bachelorette" shows on tv. 

Hanna Knight and William Preston met on the set of "The Price of Love," and Hanna lost her heart.  Hanna was a kindergarten teacher who made no secret of the fact that she was a Christian and thus garnering herself the nickname "Holy Hanna." William Preston was the CEO of a seemingly failing cosmetics company.  According to the contract of the show, after the finale was filmed, they were allowed no contact until it aired, except for one weekend.  After the show was broadcast, William was interviewed on his weekend with Hanna and made an insinuation that ruined her reputation. 

In this, Krista has set up the characters, the conflict, and the plans for the denouement.  Hanna lost her job because no one wanted someone like her teaching their kindergarteners, she started getting hate mail, and she was in no way ready to forgive Will.  Will comes to visit with a plot to help right the wrongs done in this almost melodramatic situation.  There are chuckles and laughs throughout the book. And that makes it a five star book with two thumbs up and a prize winning fish caught through the ice in one of Minnesota's many lakes.

My thanks to Shiloh Run Press for allowing me to read and review this book.
