Girl in the Arena/Lise Haines/336 pages

This book reminded me of reality TV. It would make a great movie and I am surprised it hasn't been made yet. Set in the near future, the sport of Gladiator has returrned and their is an entire culture built up around it. Lyn is the daughter of seven gladiators, meaning her both has married an dburied seven gladiator husbands. She is a minor celebrity on her own but when her last father dies in the ring and his opponant picks up her dowry bracelet (thus engaging the two) she becomes a media sensation. She is torn between the life she wants and the one she is expected to want. Overall a great read.
