SUGAR, SEA SALT, AND SHOW BIZ
Jen Reid's life after walking off a reality show has been great--she's gone from being a broke twenty-four-year-old Seattleite with no love life and no job to the twenty-five-year-old who got the guy, moved to Miami, and is starting a bakery with her best friend. She thinks her showmance love might be about to propose. And with mouthwatering goodies based on everyone's favorite shows, her business, Sweet Reality, is destined for success.
That is, until a killer competitor opens right across the street. If she's going to save Sweet Reality, Jen has to come up with a secret ingredient--like the recipe that won Totally 80s Bake-Off. Jen can get it--if she steps back into the spotlight. Soon she and her boyfriend are out to sea on a cruise ship full of reality stars, including her nemesis, Ariana; her lying, cheating ex; and some wicked producers looking to bring the drama. Separate cabins, "surprises" from her past, and scenarios tailor-made to spark fights are just the beginning. But with her self-respect, her business, and her future on the line, the fallout from this made-for-TV plotline will be all too real . . .

Terri's Thoughts
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
This is the second on the Reality Star series and in my opinion can not be read as a stand alone. In order to understand the characters I would recommend reading the series in order.
I think I have said it before but there are some reality shows that are a guilty pleasure for me. While I only indulge in one, maybe two, I get serious enjoyment out of people making complete idiots out of themselves for their 15 seconds of fame. Its a great social experiment that I enjoy.
It was much the same with this story. Over the top scenarios, bickering, fighting and producers out to get their TV gold. This story really makes fun (in my opinion) of the whole thing. As a result this series has become a guilty pleasure for me.
While Jen is a little bit of a train wreck, you can't help but be in her corner. You wonder how she allows herself in to the many scenarios she finds herself in and you want her to come out on top.
From what I could see, it looks like there is going to be a third installment in this series some time next year. I will be sure to look for it to complete the series!
