In this swoon-filled lesbian rom-com, two dating show contestants vying for the attention of the handsome, eligible ‘bachelor’ fall head over heels – for each other…
Krystin knows exactly what she wants: a husband, a horse, and a place to hang all her competitive rodeo blue ribbons.

Lauren has never done anything for the right reasons. Her plan is simple: stay on Hopelessly Devoted long enough to build her social media following, gracefully leave when it’s her turn to be eliminated, and use her new-found freedom to do what she really wants, including coming out of the proverbial walk-in closet.

A wonderful mix of sweet and steamy...as deliciously addictive as the most bingeable reality show.
Through Krystin and Lauren's evolving relationship, which brims over with chemistry; the two women's individual journeys to exploring their identities; and a fearlessness in introducing morally complex characters, this debut contributes bold new aspects to the romance genre while embracing that all-important happily-ever-after.
Packed with reality television drama, queer love and a lot of heart
A gorgeous story about identity and the beauty of being seen for who you are
Here for the Wrong Reasons is a creative, delightful, and angst-filled romance readers are sure to adore! I fell hard for Lauren and Krystin as they laughed, healed, and fell in love through every dating show predicament they faced. Paulsen and Wang are brightly talented new voices!
