If you are looking for recommendations, One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London is set around a dating show.

2

Oooh that looks good! Added x

2

If the Shoe Fits by by Julie Murphy would also fit this list! I know I have more, but that's the first to come to mind.

2

Added ❤️

The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell The Dos and Donuts of Falling in Love by Adiba Jaigirdar Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly All of them are about food competition reality tv ☺️

2

Also! Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall (I knew I was missing one).

Omg food competitions sound amazing! When I think reality tv settings i think like The Bachelor or Survivor, but omg yes give me Bake Off! 😅 Dos and Donuts is such a cozy cover 😍

2

I've read all of them, and they are great. And yes, that cover is glorious!

2

Something Real by Heather Demetrios would also fit here!!!

2

Added!

Everyone is Watching by Heather Gudenkauf is a thriller that would fit on this list too!!

2

Yay for a thriller! I feel like a lot of reality tv settings lends itself to contemporary romance, but there's so many thriller options!

2

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun also works for this list!

2

Perfect, thank you!

2

Alice Chen’s Reality Check and D’Vaughn and Kris Plan A Wedding are both reality tv romances!🫶🏻

2

Tysm for the rec ❤️

Two very different suggestions:

  1. The Selection - Kiera Cass
  2. The Running Man - Richard Bachman aka Steven King

2

Oh of course how could I forget The Selection!

It’s on my tbh but I believe The Compound by Aisling Rawle is about a reality show :)
