From Booklist

In an effort to get away from the man who dumped her, and to appease her flighty sister, Jill Davidson agrees to pose as her sister Jessie, who landed the starring role in a reality TV show called Jane Millionaire. Now she's in a small European country, pretending to be Jessie, who is pretending to be "Jane," the princess of said country. Twelve men are to spend time with her, hoping to be chosen by the princess. But Jill only has eyes for Rob Lancaster. Rob appears indifferent, but he's attracted to Jill as well. Many issues stand in their way, including Jill's lies about her identity, and the fact that Rob's entire career depends on the success of the show, which does not allow for canoodling with the star. It's an all-out war between their heads and hearts as Lynn's love-struck characters struggle with conflicted feelings and subterfuge in this thoroughly modern, surprise-filled, and entertaining romance.

More About the Author

With the release of my debut novel, I've achieved a life-long dream--seeing a book I wrote on a bookstore shelf. I live in Tennessee with my husband, our four children, our Jack Russell Terrier named Trouble, and bunches of unnamed dust bunnies that moved in after I started pursuing my writing career.

This review is from: Jane Millionaire (Mass Market Paperback)

There's no suspense in the story because it's not a romantic suspense. IT'S A ROMANTIC COMEDY. You know, like Doris Day and Rock Hudson, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy???? You buy the story knowing the hero and heroine will end up together AND that it will be a happily-ever-after ending.

Jane Millionaire is about people falling in love and having fun in the process, period. The story is magical and engaging. If you want romantic suspense, buy Linda Howard, Sandra Brown, or Tami Hoag. They write wonderful romantic suspense. I have most of their books.

However, if you want romantic comedy, buy Jane Millionaire. You'll laugh, cry, and smile all at the same time.

Oh, just in case I haven't been clear ... Janice Lynn has written a romantic COMEDY. And a damn good one at that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Site Rate 4 1/2 Hearts - Enchanting Book About Love On A TV Reality Show!, February 11, 2006

This review is from: Jane Millionaire (Mass Market Paperback)

Jane Millionaire is the goal; twelve bachelors might even sell their souls for her noble heart of gold. But, there is one tiny problem for this royal snob - the master of ceremonies, Rob! What is a pampered princess to do?

Jill Davidson is once again bailing out her sister, Jesse. This time Jill will take her place in a reality TV show called Jane Millionaire. Jill will become a true princess for a month and will have twelve handsome bachelors vying for her affections. Only one can be chosen; the problem is Jill falls for the show's hunky producer, turned MC, Rob Lancaster. Now what is a poor pampered princess to do?

Jane Millionaire is the debut novel for author Janice Lynn. Have you ever had a book from the moment you opened the cover and start reading it just latches onto your heart? Jane Millionaire is that kind of novel. Ms. Lynn has taken a reality concept and kicked it up to a whole new level. With exceptional writing, characters that are life-like, and realistic dialogues. Readers will find comfort, friends, and a few chuckles within the bindings of Jane Millionaire. They really do not get much better than this novel!

Ms. Lynn is a new voice in the romance field and one you need to keep an eye on because she is coming on strong!

Jill/Jesse/Jane (need to keep these names straight) has always taken care of her little sister, Jesse. When Jesse gets herself in a bind, Jill is always been there to bail her out. She loves Jesse, and would do anything for her, so she will switch places with her for the reality TV show Jane Millionaire. Jill is a cop; tough, athletic, and street smart. What the heck does she know about being a pampered, polished princess? Oh, man, can she pull this off without getting caught impersonating her sister, Jesse?

Too top it off, the twelve bachelors just do not ring Jill's bell, but Rob does. Rob needs Jane Millionaire to be a hit show with high ratings. If he messes up this chance by getting involved with Jill/Jane, his career could go down the drain. He has already had one woman in Hollywood screw up his life. Rob needs to keep his eye on the prize, and that does not mean Jill/Jane.

Jane Millionaire is by author Janice Lynn. This excellent story will leave you believing in happy-ever-after! This reviewer highly recommends this outstanding novel!
