Lola Glass: Glamour & Gumballs


 Read in 2025

This is book 2 in the Survival of the mated series where we find human females dropped on an Island with 12 handsome eligible Fae bachelors.  

Erin is our lead female in this book and she isn't happy to be on this show where she is the end prize, Rhett from the first book is back again only instead of being the guard and host of the show like he's used to being the Fae leadership has pulled a swap on him behind his back not wanting to see Rhett fade from existence his friends mom (Cameron from book 1) and leader of the Fae has placed Rhett in the game as a contestant to find a mate.

Erin is immediately drawn to Rhett he is handsome and brooding he wants to be there on the Island for survival about as much as she does... which is not at all.

The Fae men returning to the game and learning from the first season that anyone who gets too close and friendly with the female ends up getting voted off try a new tactic of ignoring Erin as much as possible... how is Erin supposed to get to know anyone and make a huge decision to choose a mate when no one will get close to her.

Rhett becomes a safe option to spend time with everyone knows that he is perfectly happy losing the game and fading away.  Rhett has been burned before in a bad relationship with a human and rather than spend life in another bad relationship he's fine never getting close to anyone again... that is until Erin lights a fire inside of him she might just be the best thing that's ever happened to him.

Erin getting closer to Rhett wants to get to the end with him and to pick him as her mate but begins to question if she is just imagining their chemistry together and if it's one sided, what if she chooses him but he declines?  should she start looking at the other guys as actual life partners also what if her plan is found out and the other guys vote Rhett off? 

While I enjoyed this book, I did find it very similar to the first book almost like a control C control V situation from the first to second book in the way that the survivor tasks were basically the same in the same order and not described just kind of a summary of "then this happened" and the couple goes on their date together.  I haven't seen survivor in many years so maybe some seasons are like that where not much happens, or similar things happen (?)... I don't know I guess I felt more could have been done with the tasks and rewards some of that could have been changed up.  

I would still recommend the book to others it was a cute, quick read with a happy ending.
