Story
Sergeant Roy Cooper is a country policeman in the small country town of Penguin Hill. He's been batting for his local cricket club for decades - where he's a statistical miracle. He's overweight, he makes very few runs, he's not pretty to watch, but he's never been dismissed. When young local schoolgirl Cassie chances upon the story, she takes it all the way to Donna Garrett, a renowned sports columnist from a Melbourne newspaper who's forced to write under the male pseudonym of 'Don' Garrett to be taken seriously.

Story
With her ex soon to be married, her mum back on the dating scene, and her best friend threatening to settle down with the Most Boring Man Alive, Stevie is feeling left behind. To top it off, her old uni mate Johnno West, whom she hasn't seen for years, keeps turning up as best man at Stevie's jobs. And he is looking so good. Perhaps their youthful pact—that if they were both still single in their early thirties they'd get together—is not so crazy after all? Then the enigmatic Charlie Jones walks into the frame.

Now the prodigal hottie has returned to Napa Valley, and when Hallie is hired to revamp the gardens on the Vos estate, she wonders if she'll finally get that smooch. But the starchy professor isn’t the teenager she remembers and their polar opposite personalities clash spectacularly.

Everyone has secrets, and Rachel Holloway is no exception. She’s worked hard to keep the past where it belongs: dead and buried. And so far, she’s been very successful. But now the small newspaper where she works wants to produce a podcast on a cold case: the disappearance 12 years ago of young Molly Forster. Some secrets should never see the light of day, and, as far as Rachel is concerned, whatever happened to little Molly is one of them.

Missing Molly
- By Merilyn Holdsworth on 03-06-2020
Publisher's Summary
A hilarious and heartwarming romantic comedy that examines how the unlikeliest of loves can bloom in – well, the most likely of places. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and The Soulmate Equation.
When Cece James agrees to be cast as a ‘Juliet’ on the next season of the hit television show Marry Me, Juliet, it’s certainly not for the right reasons. She’s knee deep in debt and desperate for the associated pay cheque. The last thing on her mind is the hunky ‘Romeo’ waiting for her at the end of the gravel driveway.
But Dylan Jayasinghe Mellor isn’t your usual fame-hungry TV star. An Olympic gold medallist with calloused hands, kind eyes and a propensity for panic attacks, it turns out he’s not here for the right reasons either. As spokesperson for a men’s mental health foundation, and the franchise’s first non-white male lead, Dylan’s got a charity to plug and something to prove.
When Cece gets eliminated on the first night, it seems like her and Dylan’s awkward first meeting will be their last conversation. But when the TV set is shut down unexpectedly, Cece and Dylan suddenly get a little more time together than they’d expected.
Will love bloom when the cameras stop rolling?

Utterly delightful
I listened to this in one day. If I hadn't had to pick children up from school, it would have been a single sitting.
Set around a Bachelor-esque program filmed during stage 4 covid restrictions, Here For the Right Reasons is a beautifully crafted romance, touching on issues that affected us all during the pandemic - financial insecurity, social isolation, etc.

Very entertaining
Loved the ensemble and the love duo. The vocal performance was fab - really appreciated that she didn’t do ‘character voices’. Excited to read book #2.

Equal parts amazing and annoying.
Oohhh I LOVED this book despite all the things that annoyed me.
Loved:
> the back story of both protagonists
> talks of the lack of diversity on reality shows
> the chemistry between Dylan and Cece and the will they, won’t they?
> thinking about how the heck the story was going to end. There were so many possibilities!
> reality tv based stories are always so fascinating
> having an Aussie reading the story
> the twists and turns in the story
Annoying:
> Cece’s constant inner monologue about what she thinks Dylan would say. By the end of the book I felt like this was taking up too many pages.
> I wish there had been more. More behind the scenes, more side stories from other characters (I NEED Lily’s story so much!)
> I understood that she needed money and spon-con, but I didn’t need to hear about it every damn chapter. I got it after the first 4 chapters.
> would have loved to have had a duet with another male Aussie voicing Dylan.
This author shows promise and I’m keen to read further publications from them.

An Unforgettable Rom-com!
I could not stop listening to this story!
Here for the Right Reasons had everything I want in a romance and so much more. It had me giggling out loud many times and I couldn't help but have a smile on my face whilst listening to it. I would definitely recommend this story if you like either reality TV, romantic comedies or both!

Hooked from the start
Loved this story and the narration. As a fan of these type of reality shows this book had me hooked from the first chapter. Good story line, witty and entertaining. And a bit of an insight into what goes on behind the scenes of these shows. A great listen.
