They are the most romantic of fictional couples, forever immortalized in our hearts and minds:

Heathcliff and Catherine.

Darcy and Elizabeth.

Boston Rob and Amber.

Well, maybe I've read so much romance that I truly cannot -- as critics proclaim of women who love the genre -- separate fiction from reality.

Perhaps from there the progression was only natural: Like much of Middle America, I've become so enamored of reality television love I'm inured to the stilted nature of the romances themselves.

That stilted nature has become, as reality television critic Andy Dehnart, of BlurredReality.com suggests, America's "hyperreality."

I guess if old Aristotle were around today, he just might say that sometimes art imitates life imitating, um, life.

Like in Janice Lynn's snappy, funny, and sweetly-spicy new novel, "Jane Millionaire."

Jill Davidson is "Princess Jane," the pretty bachelorette slated to choose her Prince Charming from a field of 12 hunky and accomplished guys on WOLF-TV's hot new reality show, "Jane Millionaire."

But even before the show begins filming, Jill's made her selection: tasty Rob Lancaster, former Hollywood big shot and executive producer of "Jane Millionaire."

Rob does his best to tamp down his own desire as he realizes he's falling for Jill.

And, while he's not sharing with her all the secret twists and turns the show will take to keep viewers' attention, he doesn't know Jill's guarding a secret of her own.

One that could ruin "Jane Millionaire's" success, and Rob's chance at a big Hollywood comeback.

Janice Lynn has come up with a timely novel about finding real love amidst the unreal world of sensational TV.

Sure, we've already gawked as tele-relationships grew before our bleary eyes, as with "Survivor" sweethearts Boston Rob and Ambah.

But Janice Lynn's Jill and her Rob are funnier, sexier, and just plain more appealing than anything reality television can offer up.

Lynn creates witty and clever dialogue and situations, and tees up sensual tension that hums along throughout the novel.

And you won't believe the twist her plot takes when you least expect it, which is a tribute to her very fine storytelling.

Even if you wouldn't be caught dead watching a reality television program, you won't mind being caught with a copy of "Jane Millionaire" once you ...
