Synopsis

Mabel DeVine, siren of the silver screen, is having a great time. The reality dating show that invaded her French chateau is imploding, the beautiful contestants dropping faster than influencers at a party with no wifi.

But Mabel is nearly 100 years dead, so there’s no one to share her delight… until she meets the ungainly, unloved child Hortensia.

Meanwhile, little Hortensia's neglectful father is in a quandary. The weather’s horrendous, the investors are restless, an erotic dancer’s snake is on the loose, and his daughter is always in the way.

But all Brad Hudson—producer and womanizer—knows is: the show must go on!

Grab the Groom is more than a satire of reality TV and the lookism and fat phobia that goes along with it. It’s an art deco ghost story, a dark romance, and a send up of 1920s Hollywood, all rolled into one. Fans of Gloria Swanson inSunset Boulevard will enjoy the nods to Hollywood’s Golden Age while fans of modern reality competition shows will enjoy seeing the cutthroat competition—on and off camera. Any reader who is ready to stick it to the beauty standards imposed by influencers and fashion magazines will relish this raunchy tale of romance…and revenge.
