Didn't really realize that it was going to be smut-free so that was a bummer, however I do really enjoy expanding my horizons and reading romance from authors of all backgrounds. I always learn so much in the way the characters interact with each other. I'm not a huge fan of the reality tv trope and while this wasn't EXACTLY that, it did feel the same due to the competition the two main families compete in and so that turned me off a bit. Still a great book, though!
