"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 show more 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. show less

Dev has loved the dating reality show Ever After since he was a kid, so when he got the opportunity to become a part of its production team, it was a dream come true. As the handler for this season's eligible bachelor, Charlie, it's his responsibility to help craft the fairy tale narrative for a TV audience as Charlie winnows a carefully-selected bevy of women down to a single "princess" by the final episode. He soon learns, though, that Charlie's reasons for coming onto the show, and Charlie himself, are not what anyone had expected.
This romance came to me as I was in the midst of readying my late father's home for sale and also having just hosted family from abroad for two weeks. Needless to say, it was just the escape I needed. I show more loved both Dev and Charlie and found them adorable. It was a treat seeing their relationship develop. While I totally get that there has to be a conflict which the characters must overcome, their first argument was disappointing and felt forced/contrived as each (particularly Dev who comes across as cruel and unlikeable) acts in a way contradictory to what we have learned about their personalities so far. Still, it was a good and memorable read that I will continue to think fondly of. show less

My Review: Reality TV isn't. I realize that's just the most startling thing you've ever read, but it is true. What it is, though, is made by real people and it features real people, with real emotions and feelings; they aren't dolls or puppets or robots. And while that's not something I expect most adults really need telling, intellectually, it's not...um...real. Somehow. (There will be, one day, a better vocabulary for these feelings-at-a-remove. I live for that day.)
But the thing that Author Cochrun did, in creating gorgeous OCD-having anxiety-experiencing Charlie, is something I think the world of reality TV, Romancelandia, and the entire entertainment world could do with a lot more of: She humanized the beautiful façades in a kind, supportive, and genuinely entertaining way. Her decision to make gawky, geeky Dev into a multifaceted man, her decision to have these two men, fractured and frantically trying to keep their heads above the dark, cold waters of mental illness's difficult times, find and learn about and accept each other is something still too rare. It is laudable, and the way she made it believable earns my admiration.
I can see a lot of eyes rolling at the idea of a gorgeously chiseled six-pack-sportin' tech millionaire having anxiety and OCD problems. Truth is many beautiful-looking people are beset by issues that onlookers don't think to wonder if they experience. The very idea is foreign..."if I only had money and/or looked like X I'd be happy all the time!"...but it honestly should shame us how much stock we put in that nonsense. People have problems. And when they're rich or beautiful or famous, they shouldn't. So when they do....
Brava, Author Cochrun, for slapping an ace on top of that tired old trick.
Then there's the Fun-Guy trope! Life of the party, always a laugh...he couldn't be depressed, he's got this great job and look at how many people he laughs his nights away with!...but the same logic applies. It's another good deed done to remind us that there's no one immune from the hurts of being alive. Putting the two of them together in this highly artificial, addicted-to-surfaces world was a great idea, and one that Author Cochrun pulled off with admirable aplomb.
What works well, works well. There's a minor plot-point left dangling, and there were two (2) foul, heinous, scum-dripping w-bombs. So there went that half-star. But there's no reason to go full-tilt ramming-speed mental when a medium-steam rom-com featuring two genuinely love-worthy, genuinely love-giving, thoroughly sweet men gets told in sentences like this:
There's just no reason not to get this book, sink into it, and let the beauty of its fantasy world soothe crappy, warlike reality's wrinkles and creases right out of your face to be replaced by smiles. show less

Charlie hasn’t met many people like this—people who don’t make assumptions about you when they discover your brain doesn’t work like theirs; people who don’t judge you; people who simply stay with you and ask what they can do to help. People who trustingly hand you all of themselves in PDF form.
–and–
{He} curls into the fetal position inside the shower. This is what regret tastes like: regurgitated tequila and dirty cotton balls.
–and–
“It doesn’t have to be,” she says, “and you’re not obligated to figure it out, or come out, or explain yourself to anyone, ever. But also”—she drops her hands from their spectrum and tucks an arm around his shoulder—“labels can be nice sometimes. They can give us a language to understand ourselves and our hearts better. And they can help us find a community and develop a sense of belonging. I mean, if you didn’t have the correct label for your OCD, you wouldn’t be able to get the treatment you need, right?” {hear the Gospel of Saint Parisa, everybody!}
–and–
He pauses, and {his lover} explodes. “That’s such bullshit! There are so many people who have done actual terrible things who are actively working in tech! Mark Zuckerberg exists! And firing someone for having OCD—that’s got to be illegal."
–and–
"I don’t think happily ever after is something that happens to you...I think it’s something you choose to do for yourself.”

Charlie should NEVER have agreed to be the new Prince Charming on the reality tv show called "Ever After". There are a few reasons for that. Charlie isn't sure that he believes in true love at all and his primary reason for doing the show is that he wants to fix his image.
I believe this is Allison Cochrun's debut romance and it's a zinger! There's happiness, amusement, neurodiversity, misunderstandings, humor, sweetness and romance... it's just that nothing happens quite at the times and places that anyone expects!
Dev Deshpande is almost the opposite of Charlie. Dev definitely believes in the full on fairy tale and that's one of the reasons that he's a talent handler on "Ever After". When the show runner notices that Dev seems to have a show more way with Charlie - they are assigned to each other. Rather than managing the potential Princesses, Dev is now tasked with managing Charlie. His job seems impossible at first... he must turn Charlie into someone desierable... romantic and engaging.
There is a grand twist in this book - and okay - it begins with a practice-dating trope, but I loved it. Dev offers to spend time with Charlie, ease him into social interactions by practicing. As the practicing progresses, Charlie beigns to realize that he has made a tragic mistake by being on the show. As his feelings for Dev begin to surface... the dynamic changes and things go a bit sideways.
What I loved about this book is that it's a full on rom-com that brought tears to my eyes at the right moment. Like Dev, I found myself being convinced that "true love" was a real thing and I was cheering them on! I love when I get caught up in things I'm reading.
The humour was great... I loved some of the friendships in the book. They had just the right amount of spice! show less

This gets 5 stars from me for having the first and only definition of asexuality that I found meaningful, accurately portrayed how many nuances there are, and didn't pigeonhole. Otherwise, this was a solid four--the writing is a little bit jolty and didn't quite suck me in, but the romance was absolutely fantastic and it was one of few Bachelor books that succeeded and manage to make characters all have nuance. I wish I could go back to the beginning and read this with fresh eyes again!
Of course there has to be a queer romance that takes place on a Bachelor-type show with an MC who falls in love with his male producer instead of one of the female contestants. I'm surprised nobody has written this story before (I imagine there's plenty of fan-fiction over on AO3). I'm not a dating reality show fan, but The Charm Offensive was vastly enjoyable, even if it made me uncomfortable at times.
Charlie is a handsome yet socially awkward tech millionaire who comes on Ever After to salvage his reputation after a mysterious parting of the ways with the company he co-founded. And Dev is the handler/producer who loves the fairy tale aspect of his show, even though he knows there is little chance that the contestants will have a real, show more long-term happily ever after. When Charlie turns out to be a disaster in front of the cameras, it's Dev's job to work closely with him and turn him into good reality TV material. But of course the more time they spend together, the more the two men start realizing they are in dangerous territory if they act on their attraction. Charlie signed a contract agreeing to become engaged to one of the contestants, and he needs to look good to salvage his career. And Dev would get fired from his dream job if anyone caught him kissing the prince.
Alison Cochrun's writing style reminded me of Casey McQuiston's [b:Red, White & Royal Blue|41150487|Red, White & Royal Blue|Casey McQuiston|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1566742512l/41150487._SY75_.jpg|61657690], a combination of humor, intense emotions, and witty dialogue. Her characters have diverse ethnic backgrounds and are on varying places on the LGBTQIA spectrum, so there's lots of interesting queer representation. She also shines a light on how it feels to live with a mental illness like anxiety, depression or OCD, and thankfully this is not one of those ridiculous romances that pretends that love will cure all ills. I was a little uncomfortable about the fact that Charlie and Dev's burgeoning relationship happened at the expense of the female contestants (several of whom have interesting but minor arcs) but a late plot development cleverly allayed most of my concerns.
I can't say this book made me want to catch up on past seasons of The Bachelor, but it did provide a nice swoon-worthy finale and a happily ever after that is much more believable in a romance novel than on TV.

Dev desperately wants to believe in “Happily Ever After”, which is surprising considering he works on a Bachelor style reality TV show. And the fact that his six year relationship collapsed. But when he meets this season’s bachelor and realizes how much help Charlie is going to need just to survive the filming, things begin to shift.
Like Dev, I’m a fan of the Happily Ever After thing too. I haven’t seen any of the Bachelor shows so I’m sure there were things I didn’t get, but I still loved this story. It was tough to watch Dev and Charlie struggle with each other as they were both working through some mental health challenges and past trauma. I appreciated the normalization and eventual acceptance of mental health show more conditions and therapy. And I freaking loved getting to see them falling for each other as they went on ‘pretend dates’. It was sweet. And I loved getting to see Daphne coming into her own.
I’m glad to see more open and honest discussion of mental health in these stories, but sometimes I do worry that it takes over the story and I start to feel stressed out reading them. I’m still coming down on the view that we need more representation and I think they help reduce the stigma of mental health illness. So props to telling the story well and showing that there can be happy endings for people who struggle with their mental health. show less

what a cute little book!!!! how adorable!!! how overridden by emotion i am!!!
i am fairly certain if i hadnt gotten so damn annoyed at one of the main characters near the end, it would have been a five stars one. my issue was not that he was making a mistake, but that i could tell the author orchestrated the mistake just to make the ending more impactful, and not because it was an honest, reasonable mistake to make. it depended heavily on him literally ignoring what everyone that mattered in his life was saying to him, in the way that makes you want to shake the bitch until they come to their senses. i liked the idea they were trying to portray, but i didnt think it was executed in the best, most believable way.
other than that, im show more rightfully CHARMED as hell. dev, despite getting on my nerves, was all around a fun dude, but charlie gets all the stars here. what an asbolute dork. what an IDIOT. i love him so much. and the side characters are so DELICIOUS as well. charlie's pr girl, parisa? would marry immediately. dev's asistent, jules -can i kiss her on the mouth?
and heres a thing that i really really liked about the story as a whole: it absolutely deconstructs the idea of "villains" in the antagonist sense. twice. first, we see it with megan, the girl who is picked by the production team to be the villain of the season -and charlie chooses to see as a human person. and then we see it with the "evil ex", and is that not incredible??? i LOVE FRIENDLY EXES!!! and i love that this book explores the idea that sometimes we villainize someone in our mind because we're hurt, but we gotta step back and look at the whole picture because they're really just... people. maybe with a different pespective than ours. and maybe with something we can learn from them.
on a similar note, the very gentle treatment of the concept of mental health, and how its not something that gets mentioned twice for drama or for excuses, but an actual, recurrent topic that actually has weight and repercussions and is a challenge for the characters. also: consent. consent is sexy!!!!! we stan a healthy relationship in this house!!!!
yet another thing: the racial and queer representation, on the one hand, and the feminsm, in the other hand, are two things that are very much abundant, but in an integrated way. its not a speech thrown at you out of nowhere, its literally weaved into the story. the characters are so diverse, and whenever someone is on the BRINK of belittling a woman for their choices, or judging them, or whatever, someone else swoops right in like "hold your horses this is unacceptable" and you know what?? i love that!!! more of this please. (it also calls out the "capitalist, heteronormative structures of matrimony and procreation" while separating it from the actual feeling of love and without diminishing romantic relationships as a whole. excellent job)
all in all, heartwarming, almost perfect little book. i deducted a star due to annoyance and slight incongruences towards the last third (and i do believe it could have simply been shorter -we didn't NEED a more impactful ending because it never mattered that it was predictable), but i really really really enjoyed it and it was very addictive to read. made my lil heart all warm and fuzzy (and then it also broke it a little bit). more charlie please? show less
