I couldn't put it down’ Amanda Prowse Clare’s life has just been turned upside down. Yesterday she was a successful London lawyer, about to travel the world on a well-deserved sabbatical. Now she’s back in her childhood home in rural north Devon, after the sudden death of her mother.

Thank You, Next by Kathryn Freeman #Review #Giveaway

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?


My Thoughts

Set on a reality dating show, there are lots of opportunities for humour in this romcom and a lovely varied cast of characters. At the centre we have Molly and Ben's stories, both on the show for reasons other than finding new love. You feel that Molly has a rather needy side to her. She seems desperate for marriage. As the book evolves, you come to understand her need for security. 

    This novel has Kathryn Freeman's hallmark writing- the creation of a strong male character whose thoughts you are privy to. He has a strong voice in the story and like Molly, events in his past have had a profound effect on his attitude to relationships. With inevitable chemistry between them, you can't help but wonder what Molly's decision will be because also on the show is her erstwhile boyfriend, Duncan. This is a light-hearted, fun read with romance and humour in equal parts.

In short: Sizzling chemistry
