In this game of hearts, the stakes have never been higher…

Molly Harris is used to being left. Parents, boyfriends – she’s the queen of rejection. Her latest boyfriend, gym-fanatic Duncan, dumps her to go on reality dating show The One which sets up hot singletons to date for four weeks before meeting at the altar to say, ‘I do’.

But Duncan was the one who picked Molly up and put her back together the last time her heart got broken, so, determined not to let ‘The One’ get away, she follows Duncan onto the show. If she can prove that they’re meant to be, she might just get the happily ever after of her dreams…

But on the first day of filming, another reminder of her painful history walks into Happily Ever After Towers: Ben Knight, her it’s-not-you-it’s-me heartbreaker. The one she loved before Duncan.

In four weeks’ time, who will she meet at the altar? Duncan, the first person who ever made her feel loved, or Ben, the first person who made her feel?

Hilarious as I have come to expect from Kathryn Freeman. 

Although I'm not an avid watcher of dating reality shows, I am very aware of the various concepts of them, and just entertaining they can be. 

So add a dating show into a book from a favourite author and well this was brilliant fun. 

I took to Molly instantly, whereas Duncan the bloke she is with at the start who dumps her to be on the show, I'm not overly keen on, and less so each time we encounter him. 

Whereas the second ex that Molly discovers is on this game show, that she has been invited onto to surprise Duncan, is Ben and omg I love him. 

Two totally different men, one woman's heart and will there be a marriage at the end of the 4 weeks of the show.  Add in a cast of other contestants, some totally brilliant challenges that had me entertained and you get one highly enjoyable book. 

What a joy to read this and although I knew who I wanted Molly to end with, I was never completely positive what her decision would be. 

Many memorable moments, and a whole lot of fun. I loved this book. 

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
