Where does acting end and love begin?Turning thirty and surrounded by married couples, Bethany Parks does something she never thought she'd try-reality TV dating. She heads to California, expecting aggressive cameras and competitive flirting, but nothing prepares her for Real Love, a show determined to put the real back in reality TV. The provided wardrobe is a collection of the worst fashion trends of all time, and even more disturbing, they've brought on everyone's exes, including Todd, her most recent dating mistake. He's the last person in the world she wants to mingle with while sporting mom jeans.Things aren't all bad. Her new buddy, Tyson, has her back, and Bethany can't keep her eyes off the gorgeous and mysterious Carter, a guy who goes out of his way to spend time with her despite the clingy ex who never leaves his side. Bethany knows right away she'll have to hide her heart, because on a show like this, the worst thing might actually be falling in love. Rachel John lives in Arizona with her husband and four kids. She writes romcom and contemporary romance of the tame variety - but with lots of swoon and snark. Besides hanging out with the characters in her head, she likes to jam out to music that annoys her kids, read romance books, occasionally go running as part of her zombie apocalypse prepping, and work on family history. She has a fairly useless English Literature degree from Arizona State University, but learned the most about writing and craft from the awesome writer community online. Rachel is most active on Instagram with the handle @racheljohnwrites. Come say hi!
