EXCERPT:
Renee leaned way over in her chair, throwing her arm up beside her for dramatic effect. She had the perfect line to close her short ad, but instead of delivering it, she flung one of the flickering candles to the floor with a loud crash.
“Fire!” she screamed as she realized the flame had not extinguished, but rather had transferred itself to the hem of her dress.
Before Renee could stop drop and roll, Ben leapt from his chair and threw himself across the small space separating them. The pressure of his body against her leg put out the fire instantly, but it also toppled her chair over, leaving them in a heap on the concrete.
Renee found herself on her side with Ben’s breath on her cheek. She slowly turned her head, though what she really wanted to do was push him away and run out of the studio as fast as possible.
“That was quite a commercial.” Ben didn’t make a move to rise. “Are you okay?”
Renee wasn’t sure how the dress looked, but there were no burning sensations on her leg. There was a twinge in the pit of her stomach. She nodded. “I’m okay.” She met his eyes and allowed herself a few beats to study him closely. He was handsome. And now, he was even a hero. Though he wouldn’t have had to save her from burning flames had she not set herself on fire.
Ben deftly got to his feet and pulled Renee from her chair as the producer rushed over and the camera operators stood by, panning down to capture Renee’s smoldering dress.
“Hey, Renee,” Ben whispered into her ear, “next time there’s fire between us, I’m not going to put it out.”
Review by Gia:
OMG, Accept This Dandelion is one of the sweetest book I have read.
The story starts with Renee auditioning to be on a television dating show. I loved Renee right from the beginning. She is asked what her favorite flower is, her answer is a dandelion. I loved that answer and her explanation why. When I read that part, I could help but to be brought back of memories of as a child running around the lawn picking dandelion flowers for my mom. Renee continues to surprise me throughout the book with her openness and no holding back attitude.
Renee gets on the show and the bachelor is Ben McConnell. He is the most eligible bachelor in town. Renee's originally motive for going on the show was to gt exposure so she could get the open position of morning radio show host at the radio station. Ben would really like to find love but doing the show will also help his reputation.
Once the show beginnings taping, Rene provides us with a lot of laugh. While the other girls fawn over Ben, Renee wipes off her makeup and shows him who she really is.
I really enjoyed reading this story. It's a definite one click.
