I like this cover. Good representation of the hero. Good composition and nice title work. Although I probably would have overlapped the "HOT" more.
I have to admit that this is one of those times that me not paying enough attention to a blurb before signing up worked out in my favor. Had I realized that this was about a reality type show ala The Bachelor I most likely would have given it a pass. I am SO not a fan of those type of books because there is usually way too much OW drama involved. Thankfully this wasn't heavy on that aspect. The hero made it known right from the start the heroine was the only woman he wanted.
I ended up enjoying this one. It was well written and paced. I thought it was relatively lighthearted and sweet. There wasn't a lot of OW drama or angst. Like I said the hero was all about the heroine. Some of the women contestants threw themselves at our hero, but he didn't reciprocate. The only questionable thing some might have an issue with was a kiss near the end, but it was for the camera, so I looked at it like an actor doing a scene. That said, I do wish the author would have left that out. But I appreciate the author didn't go down the route of having over the top OW issues that so many do. It had some good sexual tension and some hot sex scenes (no sex until 60%). It had a nice array of secondary characters. I especially liked Savannah and wouldn't mind seeing her get her own book. Both main characters were extremely likable. The hero was sweet and didn't come across like a manwhore. The heroine did frustrate me at times, but I also understood where she was coming from. All wrapped up in an OK ending. I would have liked a further into the future look at this couple.
So yeah, all in all, a delightful ways to spend a few hours. Two thumbs up from yours truly.

This one completely took me by surprise!! I wasn’t expecting to fall so hard for a hot TV bachelor that had me swooning and wanting to jump inside my tablet so badly! This story had everything that you would want in a reality in a reality tv romance setup. You had the expected drama but you also got real friendships that were developed, genuine lust and attraction, and most importantly finding that kind of unexpected love that you never existed.
Paige is currently down on her luck. Hopping a flight to New York to get a job as a PA on a reality show is her last ditch attempt from going broke so getting there is a necessity. After having the flight from hell and a hot encounter with a stranger, Paige is more than ready to get started on her new job. But her enthusiasm quickly comes to a screeching halt when she sees who the star of the show is and her sexy encounter from the night before is looking her dead in the face.
Dash has never had a problem getting women so why in the world would he agree to fall in love with someone so publicly? If there’s one thing you should know about Dash is that he doesn’t do things without a purpose and being on this show has a purpose. What he wasn’t expecting, was to see the redhead who made him lose sleep the night before and having her working as the new PA. On the world of reality of TV where the truth is blurred and the drama is faker than a Hollywood love story, how will Dash and Paige get their own happily ever after?
This was the exact kind of read that I was looking for to start my week. It had humor, sexual tension, celebrity drama, and just a genuine connection between two characters who had nothing in common the beginning and everything at the end. Paige and Dash was the perfect couple and I loved seeing their little banners with each other in the beginning and please don’t even get me started on the sexual tension! I’ve never flipped pages so fast in my freakin life so my fingers hurt right now. The only downside is that I wished we had gotten an epilogue but that’s just me being greedy.
If you’re looking for a hot sweet romance with just the right amount of humor, this one is most definitely for you.

Oooooo, boy....I loved this book! And rom-coms are my kryptonite!
If you've read Royal Player, then you've already been introduced to Paige. Sassy, spirited, and with a heart of gold, Paige is the best friend everyone wishes they had. Her work ethic is very admirable, but is put to the ultimate test when she "meets" the hot bachelor himself, Dash Hennessy.
Dash...*sigh*...the man is perfect. Truly. Without a doubt. I'm not pulling your chain, I'm not joking. He. Is. Perfect. Sexy, charming, and with a killer smile, Dash is willing to do whatever he needs to make sure his parents are taken care of. And that means signing up to be the bachelor on the "reality" show Ever After. But after meeting Paige, he can't help but wish she was one of the contestants vying for his heart.
Hot Bachelor was awesome! It was funny and enduring, romantic and sexy as sin...all at the same time. The character dynamic between Paige and Dash was effortless. Their personalities matched perfectly, and you couldn't help but fall for the two of them together. But as easy going as they seemed to be, their current predicament was anything but simple or carefree.
The story was incredibly well written, and the humor was just as impeccable as the drama and strong emotions that were conveyed throughout. If you're looking for a passionate, hilarious, and scandalous read, then do not pass up this book. You'll laugh, swoon, and fall head over heels for the Hot Bachelor himself!

Delectable Dash. This hot Bachelor had me swooning,laughing and finishing with a happy sigh.
I'm not a fan of reality show reads but there wasn't an ounce of cheese present in hot bachelor & I loved it.
Great characters, Dash and Paige first meet on a flight, Paige has a take no shit attitude and her first impressions of Dash with stewardesses fawning over him and his laughable chat up lines don't go down well with Paige.
Through bad weather and turbulence their flight ends up at a completely different destination to where they need to be.
Paige and Dash need to get to New York.
Paige has to arrive at her new job on the set of a top reality dating show as a PA, the show needs someone right away so if she's a no show there's no job.
Dash is also on route to New York, there's just one problem there's only one hire car left.
Paige and Dash end up sharing the same car. The chemistry is sizzling and they stop over at a hotel and just when things were heating up Dash receives a call and within minutes disappears in a helicopter leaving Paige hoping her handsome stranger will use her number and call her.
It's a small world!
The dating show takes place in the Hamptons and Paige is not only in charge of three of the beautiful girls who are set to meet the shows bachelor but she is to assist the bachelor to when needed and it doesen't take a brainiac as you read on who the suitor on the show is going to be and about to climb out of the limo. Yep, Dash, Paige's handsome, hot stranger.
Dash isn't cocky, he's fun,flirty, honest and his back story as a race car driver and his motives for doing the show is heartwarming.
I liked both characters and really enjoyed the plot, both characters predicaments in the story was entertaining, Dash had to date girls with Paige looking on while trying to steal small moments with each other, the chemistry they both had and attraction was hot.
A contract is a contract, Dash has to continue with the show and Paige needs the job. The timing of cupid sucks for these two, but it does eventually lead to a swoon-worthy hea.
I started hot bachelor and read it straight through I was so hooked.
My first book by this author and I would definitely read more. Recommended rom-com told in dual pov's.

Hot Bachelor was Katie McCoy’s second book in her All-Stars series. We met Paige Pollack in the first book as the feisty, humorous and beautiful best friend to Emmy.
Paige went from her after college summer job in London to an unexpected but thrilling start to her career with a behind the scenes job on the show, Ever After, the wildly popular reality tv dating show.
Dash Hennessy was a retired Formula One driver. He agreed to be the bachelor for the show, Ever After, because his manager ran off with his entire life savings and he needed the money - however, the public just thought he was looking for true love. He hated the show but he needed the money until his manager could be found.
It was primarily a single POV, Paige; however, Dash’s POV was sprinkled intermittently throughout the storyline. The focus of the storyline was two fold - the secret relationship development between Dash and Paige and the drama within the reality tv production. I’m a fan of reality tv, but not normally the dating shows; however, I enjoyed it tremendously.
It wasn’t rocket science, suspenseful, deep or unpredictable, but it was light hearted, entertaining, sexy, enjoyable and a quick read. Perfect for my mood at the moment. Next up in the series is Paige’s sister, Penny, in Heartthrob.

Dash is the next suitor on a show like the Bachelor. Paige is a PA working for the show. These two have an interesting run in prior to the show, and knowing who each other are that have them somewhat falling for each other. Once they figure out they aren’t just strangers who would never meet again, things get a little difficult. Dash is supposed to be falling for twelve beautiful woman. Not the feisty PA. Love works in mysterious ways though.
This was a good read. Kind of predictable, but still good. If you’re looking for something quick and fun, then this is definitely one I’d check out!

You can call me picky but some of the mistakes in this story were way too big to overlook.
Our H, Dash, is described as tall, broad, handsome. The h, who is described as tall herself, has to look up to him because he is soooo... tall. This might be no problem in every other novel but Dash is an ex formula one driver. These guys are never tall and broad. I can't remember just one driver taller than 6 feed. Most of the drivers are < 5.7.
Dash (professional driver!) drinks vodka 2 hours before they want to continue their "road trip". That's not a typical editing mistake but it doesn't make him a great guy either.
There are a lot of these little mistakes and they are what make this just an okay read.

Dash Hennessy is the hottest bachelor in the country, looking for love in front of an audience of millions... He just wasn't supposed to pick ME!
I just landed my dream summer gig: working as a production assistant on TV's smash-hit reality show, Ever After. Two months of sun and fun at the beach? Sign me up! Until the moment I come face to face with this season's bachelor, racing's bad boy Dash - aka, the mysterious hottie I just hooked up with at a creepy motel off the I-80.
Can you say, awkward?
Dash is sexy, charming - and totally off-limits. But the chemistry between us is way too hot to ignore. He's playing to win, and he's got his sights set on the prize: me!
Soon, the action is heating up off-screen. But between ratings-hungry producers, back-stage drama, and twelve of the most cutthroat glamazon contestants known to womankind, I'm in way over my head. Can I find my happily-ever-after, or will it be lights, camera, heartbreak?

I have to admit…I have never and I probably will never watch dating reality shows. There’s just something about the staged drama and cheesy lines that make these kinds of shows complete turnoffs for me. I do get, though, why these kinds of programs have high ratings, especially shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, because at the end of the day, women and men alike, want their happily ever after…they want to be swept off their feet and wooed…they want to feel an instant connection and try to turn lust into love.
Paige and Dash’s story may be set on the shooting locations of Ever After - the dating reality show where Dash is the suitor who beautiful women are vying for, but Katie McCoy does a great job of separating the manipulated and fake atmosphere that surrounds Dash when he’s filming from the very real attraction that Dash wants to explore with the beautiful redhead, even if she feels it’s a bad idea due to her position on the Ever After production crew.
Despite their off-limits status and Paige’s inventive ways of avoidance, the chemistry between the poor PA and the retired Formula One Driver is something that doesn’t want to fizzle out, and so while Dash wines, dines, and flirts with the female contestants, the real Dash, the funny, handsome, and charming man, is the one who Paige can’t help but want regardless of the risks, the jealousy, and the lack of time they have to get to know one another better.
Katie McCoy provides readers with a behind-the-scenes look at just how much staging, manipulation, and coaching goes into the production of a dating reality television show, and in the midst of gaining that knowledge, we also get to be spectators to the start of an actual relationship - one with many obstacles but one that doesn’t want to end due to external circumstances out of their control.
Hot Bachelor is a sweet, humorous, and steamy story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Paige and Dash are a perfect couple because they give each other exactly what they need in a setting where drama can be quite overwhelming. I love that McCoy uses the stereotypical females when it comes to the contestants for Ever After because it adds to the unrealistic nature of the show, allowing readers to clearly understand the difference between what Dash does for the national television audience and how he acts with Paige when the camera isn’t following his every move.

I've immensely enjoyed each and every book I've had the pleasure of reading by this author and this one was no different. She has the ability to suck you in right from the start and keep you captivated the whole way through. The storyline and characters had me laughing the whole way through. The chemistry between Dash and Paige was palpable from their very first interaction with one another and although the dialogue was quite frustrating at times, this is a book I will be recommending to all my book friends.
I jumped at the chance to read this after seeing who the author was and finding out it is basically like The Bachelor which is one of my guilty pleasures. Dash is the new, hottest bachelor looking for love in front of millions but there is more to him than meets the eye. Paige just landed her dream summer job as a production assistant on the hit reality show. It isn't until she actually gets to the set that she realizes that the newest bachelor is none other than Dash, the guy she almost hooked up with in a crappy motel in them middle of nowhere.
Dash only has eyes for Paige but Paige has a hard time believing him when he was 25 other beautiful women vying for his attention on national television. Dash is charming, sexy, but totally forbidden for Paige. The chemistry and connection between these just bleeds off the pages and I was really rooting for these two to get their happily ever after together because they really both deserved it.
Hot Bachelor is sexy, angsty, hilarious, and a hard book to put down once you start it. I love this author's work and I really can't wait for what she brings us next.

3.5 Stars
I enjoyed this title overall. It is light, and it is a romantic comedy, and those elements kept the book fun and also moving along fairly quickly from plot point to plot point, although at times a little too quickly over things that maybe could have had more explanation.
I loved the idea that Dash was "The Suitor" and that Paige an production assistant on the set...essentially a modern day royalty and commoner romance that was fun to watch them navigate. I liked the set up, the fact that it made them explore the attraction that was between them when they met on a flight.
The humor was a lot of fun, and the missed opportunities for them to have time together added a humor and a frustration to their relationship.
All in all, I enjoyed this, but at the same time, it felt like there was something lacking in the relationship and the connection between Paige and Dash. not enough to ruin the book, but enough to make this feel like a very light romance without a lot of emotion. This is often the case with the romantic comedy genre, as a lot of time is spent in the development of the humor, so it's not necessarily something that was a surprise, but I did feel that it took away from the emotional connection I felt for their relationship.
I still enjoyed it, and I do recommend the title.

Super fun and perfect for summer!!
I've never read a book by Katie McCoy before and I will definitely be changing that after reading Hot Bachelor!
I really enjoyed the banter and the chemistry between Dash and Paige. This book had some seriously funny moments as well as those moments that make you worry about the HEA. I think Paige was such a great heroine because she's strong and not afraid to step up to Dash at every turn. She takes control of situations and I loved her for it. Dash is the perfect hero. He's sexy and famous but he's also super down to earth and real. I loved watching them together!!
I am a HUGE fan of books that take you behind the scenes of reality TV and this certainly delivers. Hot Bachelor goes behind the scenes of a show like The Bachelor and I loved seeing all the background moves. It provides a perfect mix of drama and misunderstandings and hot tub moments.

Sweet and safe read with a hea.
August 13, 2017
Paige can’t believe her luck when she lands a job as a production assistant on a hot new dating show where 12 woman compete for the love and attention of one hot bachelor. But when she turns up on set and realises the guy she had a quick hook up with on the way to the show, is none other than Dash- the bachelor of the show himself- she knows things aren’t going to run smoothly at all. Will Dash and Paige be able to live out their happily ever after? Or will the cutthroat women competing in the show, the angry producers and directors who want high view ratings, and everything else in between, get in the way of the two of them having a chance to be together?
“Paige wasn’t sweet. She was tough as nails, and funny, and smart, and didn’t take shit from me or anyone. And she was sexy as hell. I wanted to want Savannah the way I wanted Paige, but I didn’t. Because I didn’t love Savannah. Did that mean I loved Paige?”
This was such a funny, flirty, sexy and easily enjoyable read! I love a good old rom com book and this ticked all the boxes! I was laughing, swooning, fanning myself and getting hooked into the drama and jealously – just a great read for a lazy weekend!
“My hand immediately went to his chest, smoothing over the rock-hard muscles beneath his tight white shirt. His hips were pressed against mine, and I could feel that he wanted me just as much as I wanted him, and the knowledge made me even hotter. Dash cupped my face in his hands, angling my head so he could deepen the kiss.”
Paige and Dash were both immensely funny and likeable characters. Paige has this confidence and loyalty about her that drew you in. She didn’t care abut Dash’s fame, what she really cared about was getting to know the real him and not the bachelor is was portraying on the show. Dash isn’t some conceited, thinks-he’s-Gods-gift-to-woman guy. He doesn’t even really want to do the show but after getting screwed over by his manager, he really needs the money. The best thing about Dash was despite the fact he had all these women throwing themselves at him- he only has his eyes in Paige and will do anything and everything to show her and keep her!
“Let’s celebrate!” he said, tugging my hand and pulling me back towards the car. “What do you want? A steak dinner? Lobster? Gold-encrusted chocolate?” I backed him up against the car. “I don’t need anything,” I told him. “Just you.” “Oh yeah?” He gave me a wicked grin. “So, a hot dog?”
The plot kept me entertained with the constant banter between the characters and the extremely steamy romance between Paige and Dash. The drama thrown in meant it wasn’t an easy ride and added an extra element to the story to keep you hooked and wondering how Paige and Dash were going to come out the other side. To be honest it was just a great rom com story that kept me highly entertained.

“Paige wasn’t sweet. She was tough as nails, and funny, and smart, and didn’t take shit from me or anyone. And she was sexy as hell. I wanted to want Savannah the way I wanted Paige, but I didn’t. Because I didn’t love Savannah. Did that mean I loved Paige?”
This was such a funny, flirty, sexy and easily enjoyable read! I love a good old rom com book and this ticked all the boxes! I was laughing, swooning, fanning myself and getting hooked into the drama and jealously – just a great read for a lazy weekend!
“My hand immediately went to his chest, smoothing over the rock-hard muscles beneath his tight white shirt. His hips were pressed against mine, and I could feel that he wanted me just as much as I wanted him, and the knowledge made me even hotter. Dash cupped my face in his hands, angling my head so he could deepen the kiss.”

**Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book.**
This book was a whole lotta fun!
Paige is in a hurry to get to her new job. One that she hopes will be the first stepping stone in a successful career in the television industry. Yes, it's a reality show, but it's a good start. Then when Paige's plane gets rerouted and the handsome stud from first class is stuck being her ride to the Hamptons, she wonders if missing out on this job might be worth it for a night of sin with the hot guy from seat 4C.
Dash is about to start a new gig, too. But he isn't anywhere near as excited about this job as the next available bachelor on a dating show. He's only in it for the money and has no plans to find love in this competition. Yet, he changes his mind when he realizes his travel companion is working on the set. He just might end up with someone special after all.
While I may not be a fan of reality television dating shows, this book definitely caught my interest early on and kept my attention until the last page. It did have its moments of humor but there were serious undertones to the story with Dash's reasons for being on the show and retiring from racing. There is also some scheming and betrayal tossed into the mix. It was a busy plot, for sure.
Paige was easy to like and connect with but I think Dash's character was more developed and layered. The pair were a good match and their chemistry sizzled. The naughty time started early and continued throughout the story. It never got repetitive and I was never tempted to skim the scenes. That's always a positive in a book with a lot of love scenes.
My only problem and reason for docking a half-sun was the ending felt a little too easily wrapped up for me. I expected a little more confrontation or maybe even some sort of fall out. I won't explain why because that would give everything away, but I felt a little like it was missing something. Or maybe it was because the whole book was filled with conflict and the ending was more peaceful so it was surprising. Could have just been me...
In closing...
A fun and flirty read with a colorful cast of characters. 4.5 suns!

Hot Bachelor is a sweet, sexy, humorous romance read. It was easy no angst fun and quirky leaving a smile on your face.
Paige Pollack receives a call offering her a job working as a production assistant on a reality TV show called Ever After. The show is about one Bachelor and twelve beautiful women competing for airtime and a heart shaped balloon. Hoping to find their Ever After!!
The only problem is that Paige has to get there asap before the cameras start rolling. The race against time becomes a mini adventure in it's self including a brief hook-up with the man from plane seat 4C.
When Paige arrives on set she gets the shock of her life when she see that the bachelor is none other than Dash Hennessy a retired Formula One driver and also the man from 4C!!
Dash has entered into this reality show not out of ego but really because he needs too. He's only in it for the money not love, after his manager stole all his money and disappeared leaving him struggling. What he never expected was to truly find love and he finds it in a most unexpected way.
Dash and Paige have great chemistry and they both really want to explore the possibilities of a future together. But Paige's career depends on getting him to hook up with someone else. And Dash can't risk the show not paying him. With fierce competitors and staff that will do anything to make money and a bachelor who puts it all out there in the live finale.
Giving us a fun filled, swoon worthy dose of reality at its best.

A former Formula One driver and a TV PA serendipitously meet en route to report to their new jobs: her as part of the staff, and him as the "talent". Knowing there are lines they can't cross, they fight their attraction, but sometimes, it's hard to fight a losing battle.
I don't know what it is, but I always find stories, which feature reality shows quite fun. We got a little bit of a peek at the on set and off set antics, but what I really liked, was seeing Dash and Paige together. They had great chemistry, but also, a fabulous connection, and they just fit together really well. I also thought the backstory McCoy gave to Dash was excellent. It showed he was not an attention seeker, and that he had a heart of gold. Lots of fun and antics and then there was some drama, but I pretty much swept it all away after that ending. It's those sort of endings, which leave me in a very good mood.

This book was awesome. There is the perfect amount of drama, romance and comedy in it.
Dash and Paige are the most amazing characters ever. They are truly perfect for each other. He is so so perfect. I seriously love him. He is smart, funny, charming and oh so sweet. It was impossible for me not to fall for him. And Paige is super fun, intelligent and really caring.
I laughed so much while reading their story. It gave me all the feels, it was cute and hilarious at the same time. You can really feel the connection between these characters from their very first interaction. They fell for each other so easily because that’s how good of a match they were.
The passion and the humor written in this book are incredible. I was so entertained and I know for sure I will read it over and over again.

I'm not a fan of the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows - why, I don't know. But I LOVED THIS BOOK!!
Paige needs to get to the Hampton's ASAP to work on the hit reality show, Ever After. This could be her big break into TV producing and production. So she will stop at nothing to get to the Hamptons. Well except for a storm that forces her flight to be re-routed to Ohio. And maybe Dash and their almost completed one-night stand.
Dash is having some problems and so he agrees to appear as the bachelor on Ever After. Imagine both his and Paige's surprise when they come face to face with each other. Except Paige is working for the show and Dash is there to find a girlfriend and potentially wife. But they both can't stop thinking about each other and they can barely hide their hot chemistry.
This was a story full of laugh, swoony moments and a good story. And made me think that my assumptions of scripted reality TV are correct.

This was the first book I've read by this Author and it won't be my last!
I devoured this story! I loved that it was unique, fresh, well written and filled with likable/lovable characters!!!
Dash- my man! He is so sweet! I seriously can't ask for a better book boyfriend! He was incredible and just made me swoon for the heroine!
Paige- that sassy woman with a heart of gold and wonderful work ethic-- but it's put to the test with Dash.
This book was sexy, funny, flowed well and the dynamics between both Dash and Paige was effortless. You'll swoon and fall head over heels in love with Dash!!!

I absolutely loved this book! It's funny and hot, and yet I wouldn't classify this as a romantic comedy. The amount of drama and the forbidden-ness factor added a spice to it that made this book impossible to put down. i absolutely loved the dual points of view, and the realistic look at reality shows and what happens behind the scenes. I also loved the brief cameo by Emmy, a character from Katie's Royal Player.
Dash and Paige really set fire to the pages and I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something hot, fast-paced, but believable! Katie McCoy has written another great book!

I really enjoyed this story!
I adored Dash right off..he could be cocky and a bit arrogant, but you could also see the great guy he was.
Paige is sassy and strong, but this is a mask to hide the real her, a romantic at heart.
I loved both characters and I enjoyed secondary characters as well, one very promising and hopefully will get a book.
I usually find this type of reality shows not my cup of tea but I loved that we get an idea straight away of the why he is doing it and how Dash is going to behave.
It was fun and hot, no unnecessary drama.

Let me start off by saying I am NOT a fan of reality tv. I never watch it. But I loved Hot Bachelor. It was a cute and funny story about Dash, who is the new Bachelor for a tv show with women throwing themselves at him to win.
Dash doesn't want to find love, he actually just needs the cash from the show. Here is the thing.... I have never seen these shows, I think they are all fake and weird, but this book worked for me. It kind of told it how it was to be on reality tv and the love story between Paige and Dash was quirky and cute. I loved reading their sneaky time romance.

Nice, fun, and light read with a familiar plot. Perfect for the beach or a plane ride --- the kind of book you won't mind reading if there are many distractions or interruptions.

I enjoy Katie McCoy's writing, she has the ability to suck you into the story right from the start. HOT BACHELOR was no different, I found that the storyline and characters made it hard to put it down. The chemistry was there from the beginning. At times I was frustrated with the dialogue. However, overall I will definitely recommend this one to my friends.
Thank you Katie for allowing me to read this early!
