I admit to watching a few seasons of "The Bachelor". It always felt so fake and scripted and certainly never a great way to start a relationship for real. The Engagement Plot is a book that fills in a little of the what may happen after the show. I think these two, Hanna and William were very likable and they certainly seemed more real than the people on reality t.v. shows appear to be. I thought the plot was a little unbelievable but it made for a fun story. I appreciated the clean romance that was able to also show those sparks of chemistry without having to get explicit or loose their christian morals. I liked the story and would be happy to read more from this author. She wrote a lovely, clean, modern romance that was uplifting. A great way to spend a few hours!

If your after a book that can make you smile and laugh with a great love story then this book is for you. It's well written and a funny book. There were some great laugh out loud moments and a very sweet ending. I will definitely seeking out this author books again. Would recommend

Cute book. Fast read. Liked the characters a lot. Would read other books by this author.

Those of you who enjoy tv programs such as the Bachelor and the Bachelorette will enjoy this story. In this story the program is called "The Price of Love". I'm not really a fan of programs where you watch people being slutty but when I read what this story was about I decided it would be an interesting read. Hanna is not your typical sexpot gal who goes on these shows. She is a devout Christian who wants to save herself for marriage. She is not one of these gals who is going to go into the fantasy suite and let the bachelor have his way with her knowing that he could possibly chose somebody else to marry. Because of the standards she has set she gets the nickname Holy Hanna. In the end the bachelor in this story choses her but that is just the beginning of the story. Really the beginning of the story is that they are already broken up because some off color remark that lead millions of people to believe that he and Hanna did the deed. Her reputation was ruined. She lost her job and her reputation was the fodder for tabloids. I loved it that she was concerned what this did to her Christian witness. I was really irritated with William, the hero of this story for destroying her like this. It was going to have to take a lot for me to start to like this character but in the end her won me over when I realized that he truly did love her.

This book had its funny moments. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review a digital copy of this book. This book is due to be released on November 1, 2017.

I love the TV show 'the bachelor' so was excited to review this book. It was a fun romantic story about Hanna who was chosen by Will at the end of their gameshow yet a few months on were not together. I enjoyed reading their story and seeing them fall back in love together.
If you are in the mood for a lighthearted christian romance story then I happily recommend this book.

The Engagement Plot by Krista Philips

This is the first book I have read from this author and I enjoyed her writing and the fresh voice she gave her characters. First off this is a clean and very relevant story about our relationship with God and others in this age of social media, reality TV and fake news. The author creatively weaves a story based on a reality TV show called the Price of Love and how William and Hanna meet and fall in love among the media frenzy of the show. But unfortunately because of a slip of the tongue by Will their relationship is damaged and the media makes false assumptions and Hanna's character as a modest and pure Christian is tarnished and Will's high power job is in jeopardy. I enjoyed the journey that Will and Hanna took to get back to each other and how their story highlighted the importance of our relationship with God. The story is engaging and authentic and the characters are relatable because they are flawed and seeking redemption.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher for an honest review. The review is my honest opinion.

Hanna knows her life is over. And it's all Will's fault. After winning The Price For Love, Hanna's life is thrown into turmoil when her fiance will carelessly damages her personal life with a hot sex scandel. No more Holy Hanna.

Will feels bad for what he did to Hanna but losing his job is a worse fate than losing her. So, how does he save his job and her reputation. By pretending to still be engaged and doing interviews. It's the only way for him to keep his job and for her to remain Holy Hanna.

Now, if they could only not fall for each other again in the process.

This is well written and highly informative in the world of reality-show dating and the dangers that can result from it. I could not put this down.

I highly recommended this for people above the age of 13 for some mature (yet not graphic) content.

Overall this was a very enjoyable and funny Christian romance. However my personal preference is for a lighter hand with the Christian elements and I found the heroine, Hanna to be a bit heavy handed in her opinions and point of view (not unpleasant but she just seemed a bit rigid in her beliefs) and this did affect my enjoyment of the overall story. I must reiterate this is solely my personal preference and isn't intended as a criticism of the author or the plot, I just like what I like 🙂

Is this book a Christian romance. It felt like one, I didn't like it. It started o okay but then I was bored and ended up struggling to finish it. Not for me I am afraid.

This was a cute story with some hilarious parts that had me laughing out loud. I really enjoyed the journey that both Will and Hannah went on in growing in their faith throughout the book.
