SUMMARY:Isabelle Engel: Most Eligible
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Curious Iguana from 2:00 pm-3:00 pm on Sunday\, February 1 for a meet-and-greet and signing with author Isabelle Engel as she promotes her debut novel\, Most Eligible. Seeking a story that’ll launch her journalism career\, Georgia goes on a reality dating show only to find the host is her dreamy one-night-stand from the year before. Copies of Most Eligible will be available for purchase at the signing. \nThis event is free and open to the public. For accessibility requests\, email info@curiousiguana.com at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. \nAbout the book: The Bachelor meets Funny You Should Ask in this laugh-out-loud rom-com debut about a journalist who goes on reality TV only to find her country music star one-night stand is the host. \nGeorgia Rose is not going on the hit reality dating show Love Shack to find love. She’s there to write a killer exposé on the producers\, which will guarantee the journalism job of her dreams. But when Georgia’s unforgettable one-night stand from the year before\, country singer Rhett Auburn\, steps into the Malibu mansion as the season’s new host\, all of her carefully crafted plans unravel. \nCaught up in the drama of backstabbing contestants\, producer blackmail\, and death-defying dates\, Georgia must keep her identity—and history with Rhett—a secret. Despite the lies between them\, it isn’t long before Georgia and Rhett’s heated behind-the-scenes moments start to feel more genuine than the romance Georgia’s faking for the cameras. But with her assignment unfinished and the executive producer on her tail\, a second chance with Rhett could be her riskiest move of all. \nAbout the author: Originally from New England\, Isabelle Engel (she/her) now lives and works in Washington\, D.C. She has an MA in English literature from George Washington University. When she’s not imagining ways to make reality TV even more dramatic\, she can be found reading\, doing dance fitness\, and petting other people’s dogs. Most Eligible is her debut novel.
