I just finished Seven-Night Stand last night. If you’re a fan of Entangled Publishing's Indulgence can’t miss line of contemporary romances, then you’re going to like this one. I really enjoyed this couple and Vivvy in particular. She’s no nonsense and very comfortable in her own skin. That makes for some crackling chemistry between her and Nate.
*******
As part of Seven-Night Stand the heroine, Vivvy, is trying to convince Nate, the hero, to do a reality show. Something along the line of "Pawn Stars" or "Cake Boss" (in that the core of the show is a business and the people who run it). If you've ever watched a show like that, you know they often do individual interviews with the participants.
I thought it might be fun to put Vivvy in the interviewer's seat to give everyone a chance to get to know Nate a little better.
***
Vivvy: Nate, can you tell us a little about yourself.
Nate: I'm a pretty simple guy. I like planes. I run an airport in the middle of Kansas. I used to enjoy sleeping in...until you came along.
Vivvy: We went over this. I'm not Vivvy right now. I'm just an unknown interviewer.
Nate: Then stop giving me that look.
Vivvy: What look?
Nate: The I-want-to-get-you-nak---
Vivvy: Moving on to the next question. What's a typical day like at Harrington Airfield?
Nate: The words "typical" and "Harrington Airfield" do not belong in the same sentence together.
Vivvy: You are trying to make this difficult, aren't you?
Nate: Yup.
Vivvy: What are your three best traits?
Nate: I don't know, Viv, what do you think are my three best traits?
Vivvy: I'd say you're loyal, hard working, and kind.
Nate: Those weren't the kinds of things I was hoping for.
Vivvy: I'm aware. Now, what do you think are your biggest faults?
Nate: This isn't a job interview. These questions are idiotic.
Vivvy: Oh, really? And what questions should I be asking you?
Nate: How to fix an altimeter?
Vivvy: Somehow I don't think that'll fascinate your future adoring public.
Nate: I don't really care about any future adoring public. I've got you. All the adoring public I need.
Vivvy: You have completely missed the whole purpose of this interview.
Nate: Maybe.
Vivvy: You're still going to make really excellent TV. No matter how difficult you are.
Nate: So you keep telling me. You've also promised to make it worth my while.
Vivvy: All right. Interview over. I'll only participate in an exercise of futility for so long.
Nate: I can think of better ways to exercise.
Vivvy: Well, you've got me there. Let's go.

I'm not a big fan of reality TV but I do occasionally watch the Amazing Race. This way I get to visit other countries without leaving the comfort of my home.

I don't watch any but if I did I would watch either cooking or traveling reality shows. I feel like I at least get something out of it,
DeleteI hate it..and watch some ;) I like Top Model cos I liked the finished pics
ReplyDeleteI once watched the Jessica Simpson reality show with her hubby a the time. I'm horrible if I catch a marathon but otherwise I never turn them on.
DeleteThanks for the fun post and giveaway! I hardly ever watch TV, let alone reality TV, but for a brief time a few years ago, I was hooked by Alaskan State Troopers on Nat Geo... I have no idea why :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I caught a marathon of that show a few months ago and I could not look away!! It's so crazy yet the officers stay so polite lol
DeleteFun post...that interview was hysterical:) And I watch way too much television including some "raelity shows" like Mythbusters, American Pickers, The Amazing Race, Househunters on HGTV etc.
ReplyDeletePS Everytime I visit you Karen, I want to kiss Figment's nose!
DeleteHaha! he would enjoy that - he's an attention hog (In case you couldn't tell)
DeleteI don't really watch a lot of TV (this is the first year I've even had access to a television!), but will admit to watching 'MasterChef', and particularly enjoy 'MasterChef: The Professionals, which is probably the closest to reality TV I get to.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch so much television (before reality TV) but now I rarely do so no reality tv for me.
DeleteI do unfortunately! Amazing race is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it doesn't count as "reality" TV, but I watch a lot of the expose shows on CNBC and the non-celebrity stuff on the Biography Channel. I used to be addicted to Chopped though, I just got sick of it after watching it constantly. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the Vivvi and Nate interview, they're so cute (the book is too).
I used to watch quite a bit of reality TV, but not so much any more. The only shows I'm still watching are House Hunters, Ice Road Truckers, American Pickers, Auction Hunters and until it went off the air, American Choppers. Okay that sounds like a lot, but there are quite lot of reality type shows on television these days. :D
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Ice Road Truckers and American Choppers but after a few seasons i quit. I do still occasionally watch Deadliest Catch.
DeleteI do like THE AMAZING RACE. That looks like fun, if exhausting.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... not 100% sure but Masterchef America and Amazing race
ReplyDeleteHello, everyone! I would have commented sooner but my computer is having some issues with commenting for some reason.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who finds Amazing Race too nerve wracking to watch? It makes me tense when they're trying to get somewhere and can't. :)
For some reason I couldn't comment anymore beyond that. Well, thanks everyone! Good luck on the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Nicole!
DeleteI'm having that problem with commenting too. I have to sign out and back on for each comment of use another google profile. Grrr. It's been going on for a month now.
love watching the Amazing Race, Iron Chef, just got into Inside Combat Rescue and Glory Hounds.
ReplyDeleteI watch some on MTV and some other..they're ok, but i do prefer Fiction ;))
ReplyDeleteYes. I love Survivor and The Bachelor. Also, Hells Kitchen because my daughter was a contestant on the show.
ReplyDeleteI love Dancing with the Stars, American Pickers, and Top Chef!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch those cooking shows. Can't remember which it was though (not Hell's Kitchen).
ReplyDeleteYes, amazing race is my favorite
