Classically trained actress Imani Gilliam is gifted, beautiful—and broke. Facing eviction, her only hope of staying afloat is to do the reality TV show, "Let's Get Married." The show pairs up single strangers, and viewers vote for who should be united in wedded bliss. Imani is only looking to be united with a paycheck—until she locks eyes with a fellow contestant. . .
Are About To Create A Buzz. . .
Dr. Raymond Thomas is determined to keep his struggling free clinic running—even if it means appearing on "Let's Get Married." He can't imagine finding love on TV—but when he spots Imani, he definitely finds lust. And their attraction isn't lost on the producers. But as the cameras start focusing on them, Raymond wonders if he's just a tool in Imani's career. Only time—and a life-changing choice—will tell. . .

Hodges (A Love of Her Own) keeps this streamlined contemporary romance tightly focused on the beautiful couple of Raymond Thomas, a doctor running a free clinic, and Imani Gilliam, an underappreciated Juilliard-trained actress. He's tired of gold diggers, she's tired of men who want her to jump into bed before she's ready, and neither wants to marry. They join the Let's Get Married show anywayâRaymond looking for funding, Imani for fame and exposure. Hodges misses big opportunities for humor and development of secondary characters, instead giving Imani and Raymond instant chemistry and a smooth trip into money and success with an easy exit strategy. The awkwardness between experienced Raymond and sexual novice Imani is never explored, though Raymond gets excessive credit for not being (very) pushy. The tension-free gushing is fun wish-fulfillment, but poor storytelling.
