He's a cowboy looking for love. She's a makeup artist trying to reinvent herself. When they meet on a reality dating show, will sparks fly? Or will the rules keep them apart?

Cowboy Tyler Hall never thought he would be a contestant on a reality dating TV show, but after his latest breakup, his best friend's wife talks him into auditioning. When he gets word that he's been chosen, he can't believe it - but as his last few relationships have ended poorly, he decides to try something different and take a chance. However, he gets more than he bargained for when he falls for a woman who is not a contestant.

Laney Swann has been running from her high school insecurities for years, but when she loses her job, she ends up having to return home and reunites with an old friend who convinces her to do the makeup for a reality TV show. Laney expected it to be just a job until she met the bachelor. Now she has to control her feelings while watching him date other women.

Will she ever get the courage to tell him how she feels? And if she does, will he prove different from the other men in her past?

This is the first book in the multi-author Blushing Bride series. Each book will be standalone, but have the common thread of brides and weddings running through them.

This story is also in book form. The narrator did a great job with the story. She brought the story to life for me. I enjoyed this story of Laney Swann and Cowboy Tyler Hall.

When she gets there to she meets Cowboy Tyler Hall and Sparks began to fly.

I read it in one sitting, actually stayed up all night. Not because it was short, but because I really enjoyed this story. I laughed through most of the pages. More than once my hubby ask me what's so funny. I highly recommend this book if you love sweet fun stories.

Fun Story!

this was such a cute story. As someone who's guilty pleasure was watching the last season of The Bachelorette, I was curious how the author would spin a clean story about dating show. Very successful I must say. This was a new to me narrator, and I really liked the tone of her voice. All in all it was a good listen

This is a sweet, Christian romance that takes on reality dating shows. The two leads are both Christians who want love and fulfillment, and even though it takes a strange route to get there they find God's path for them.

Many times in novellas, I feel that the pace is too rushed because that's the nature of a novella. With this one, though, the couple felt believable. The chemistry worked, and the characters had interests and friends outside each other.

One of the nice things about this story was that you could tell it was written by a Texan. There were things there that showed appreciation and not arrogant swagger.

The only thing I didn't like with the story is that there were a few cliches that made me groan. It didn't stop me enjoying the story, which is why I can't think to number them here.

Now to the performance itself, Hoopes reads her own story, and she did excellent voice work. It's not often that an author is able to do this. Her characters sounded like characters, and it was a joy to relax and listen.

I recommend this to others who want a clean romance. I'd be willing to listen to more of Hoopes' works.

I love listening to Lorana Hoopes read a story. She does such a great job The story is sweet but not sicky so. I love that it is a Christian story and very clean that my 12 year old niece I would not have a problem reading it. Lanie is strong but has some issues she works through . The story is very realistic and loved listening to the story.

I fell in love with the characters (except for some of the snarky contestants. As a bachelor franchise fan, it was so fun to have the themes in a book series I can enjoy! Wow!! Yay!! I also appreciate books that have faith in God woven throughout

The Cowboy's Reality Bride was both a sweet and fun listen. It was certainly interesting to have the author be her own narrator, but I think she did a great job. The different voices, as well as the inflections and such, were on point. My only advice would be to check the sentence that repeats itself in the middle of the book, and also that during Laney's getting to know Nancy for the first time, Nancy's voice didn't sound like what the listener had been used to till then. Other than that, the story was fantastic and I really appreciated and loved that despite this being a reality TV romance, it was also Christian Fiction, and thus their faith felt real in Laney and Tyler's lives and relationship. ~ 4.5 stars

author as her own narrator: great job

The Cowboy’s Reality Bride (Blushing Brides #1) was another great read by Lorana Hoopes. Tyler is a cowboy who is looking for love and was encouraged to be a contestant on a reality dating tv show. He is reluctant to go on the show but decides to anyway. Laney was fired from her job and an old friend convinces her to be a makeup artist on a reality tv dating show. She expects to do her job and then start over after. She definitely doesn’t expect to fall for the cowboy bachelor. I really enjoyed Tyler and Laney’s story and can’t wait to read more by Lorana Hoopes.

Great Read

The Cowboy's Reality Bride
: Lorana Hoopes

This is a sweet, clean, almost western romance. A reality tv show brings together a cowboy and a group of women wanting to become his bride. Lots of little side trips before an interesting ending.



The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Lorana Hoopes (the author) also narrated this book.
