Alia Dunn has a proposal to film some of Utah's spectacular national parks for Expedition TV. Her network producers in New York know she’s worked her way up to showrunner since her early years as an intern and production assistant. ON LOCATION, she can shoot the work she’s dreamt of for years. What can possibly go wrong? She’s about to find out.   The host is replaced with someone who doesn’t give a darn about the landscape and needs a show to clean up his image. Which, admittedly, is not great. Blaine Stephens is to host Discovering Utah, that is, if he can get out of bed, keep sober, stay off drugs and keep his pants on.   A much more polite gentleman is found on the subway, giving up his seat to a senior lady. Alia takes a sneak photo and shares it, tagging him #subwaygentleman before having coffee with this stranger. When she reaches the far desert of Utah, lo and behold, the same guy arrives, Drew Irons, handsome and chill, and a pro location scout and production assistant. I don’t for one moment think Alia would have been given a new crew member’s name and not checked out his online profile for work. Anyway, on with the story.   I did actually laugh at the ridiculous sight Blaine kept making of himself, the idea that anyone would tolerate all the wasted shooting time, when the crew hours are costing money. Worse than that is the attitude he takes that workplace sexual harassment is okay, as long as he’s the one doing it, and the little lady producer doesn’t get to tell him what to do.   With Drew sometimes on Alia’s side and sometimes not, a romance begins, though they try to keep it discreet. There are miscommunications and some dangers. This is a lively story told in the present tense, which can keep the reader guessing at times. I wondered how well the series would sell if the crew never filmed any people who live in Utah, or wildlife, just rock formations. But it seemed that Blaine would have a tougher time presenting if he had to interview rangers, storekeepers and campers, so maybe Alia just couldn’t add it to the plan.   The male attitudes are somewhat caricatures, but possibly true ones. I like that Alia’s Philippine-American folks FaceTime her so she can keep in touch ON LOCATION. Sarah Echavarre Smith has provided a contemporary romance with a heroine fighting against a great many opponents – including outdated sexism.
