Ben gets much more than he expected in Renee.  He gets a girl who doesn’t bow to his every whim…and a girl who opens his eyes to true, unexpected love. When nothing goes right on the local program called "Accept this Dandelion"...hilarity ensues. Imagine your worst possible dates happening...on TV!

It's no secret that I'm a fan of all things Bachelor. So when I heard about Brooke Williams' Accept this Dandelion, I knew I needed to get my hands on it!

Accept this Dandelion is pure fluff and pure fun. It provides a behind the scenes look at a Bachelor-esque show, plus it's laugh-out-loud funny! While I never had any doubt about who would end up together, the way they got together surprised me ... it's always nice to have a bit of unpredictability in a genre that's not generally very mysterious.

Also, the characters are fantastic! I love that Renee isn't your typical dating show contestant—she has a genuineness and quirkiness to her that makes her so relatable. And Ben definitely surprised me in a good way—he turned out to be much more than a rich playboy.

I did notice a few editing issues, but it wasn't enough to be super annoying. Overall, Accept this Dandelion is completely delightful. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys The Bachelor! 4 stars.

Content note: A Bachelor-inspired novel could be very trashy, but Williams kept it clean (no swearing or sex)—it's definitely cleaner than the show!

Buy the book.
