“The Charm Offensive will sweep you off your feet.” —PopSugar

​​​​In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy—reminiscent of Red, White & Royal Blue and One to Watch—an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer.

Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star.

Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he’s a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he’s cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off.

As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

I adored this book! The characters were so charming and the premise, while a little corny, is one of my favorite types of romance set-ups. This book had my heart swelling and I was immersed entirely!

"Charm Offensive: A Novel" is a beautiful love story between two men that blossoms before our eyes. Two different men from different backgrounds and experiences. One clumsy, awkward but beautiful inside and out and another man who believes in love ever after but never loves himself enough to feel he deserves it. One man a virgin and never believing he would fall in love and meet his princess but ultimately meets his prince. This all plays out while filming a reality show. An excellent novel that tugs at your heart strings!!!
