Book Description

February 14, 2012
Olena Day is on top of the world. She has her dream home-a condominium at the Mansions on Peachtree in Buckhead, a career she loves, and two handsome men vying for her affection. But when the corporate sales professional goes from earning a high six-figure income to being offered a commission with a substantial pay cut, she quits her job. Now her spur-of-the-moment decision has her scrambling for a solution to her foreseeable money problems. She can allow the wealthy man in her life to support her, which goes against her fiercely independent nature and his mother's gold-digger radar. Or she can appear on the dating reality show The One, despite her distaste for reality TV and the fact that she's already in a committed relationship. Reality TV is her shot at fifteen minutes of fame, and the opportunity for her literary agent to land Olena the book deal she's been impatiently waiting on.

Step behind the scenes of the highly competitive and unique world of reality dating shows, in this relationship-driven page-turner that keeps delivering surprises.

Love Is A Splendid Thing March 16, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
What is it that makes a professional woman who dislikes reality TV because of the way it portrays woman end up on a season of The One? (as the saying goes be careful when saying never)

After Olena walks away from her lucrative job as the highest paid Senior Key Accounts manager at Lutel Industries in the country, she lands a spot as the bachelorette of a reality show called The One. The season premier airs on Valentine's Day.
There's several things that make this show different from the other reality shows on TV; The bachelorette is black, and forty-three and it's her plan not to allow the producers to make woman look stupid and to walk away with a book deal? But can Olena walk away with a book deal in one hand and a bachelor in the other?

This relatable relationship novel puts readers behind the scenes of reality TV show The One showcasing what real love and scripted love can look like. The story is told from the point of view of Jason Nix and Olena Day. As Olena travel to 10 different romantic cities and meet 10 bachelors the readers are on the date right along with them. As we draw near to the final show Godiva the shows executive tells Olena who they don't want her to choose, but will Olena follow the script or her heart?
What is new and what I thoroughly enjoyed was the drama free episodes of The One. By the end the reader knows each character well and will be longing to visit them again in future books.
Ms. Robison has a fantastic talent for writing good stories that deserves space on every reader's shelf. It is said that The One continues Olena' story from In Love with a Younger Man. One doesn't have to read In Love with a Younger Man to read The One.

The One is GOOD! April 28, 2012
Format:Paperback
There were some technichal problems in downloading this book - but FINALLY - I was able to read this wonderfully engaging story. Olena & Jason - great story with a strong mix of plot/characters that puts a great spin on the reality show world. Godiva is the perfect vixen along with LaRuth. I really enjoyed this story and I loved the fact that I did not read book one - In Love With a Younger Man but I was still able to get into this story and It is sooooo good!

I found myself really getting into the characters: Tilly, Porter, Jason, Olena and even Mama Nix. You will enjoy this story too.
