Summary

You won’t want to pause this funny, tender, must-listen romantic comedy - scripted exclusively for audio and performed by a full cast!

When Amanda got a chance to take a shot at love on The Bridegroom - her favorite reality dating show - she jumped in headfirst. She never expected to win and end up engaged to her swoony Scottish suitor. Now she’s hiding out at her parent’s house in Nebraska and waiting for the show’s premiere, all while trying to keep her engagement to Liam top secret. But her real-life love story is about to take a turn she never expected....

When she’s reunited with her high school bestie, Josh, it’s impossible to deny that he’s grown into quite a catch. As they rekindle their friendship, something deeper begins to spark between them...or has it always been there? Now, Amanda has a life-altering decision to make. Will she find happily ever after with her sexy Scottish TV boyfriend or the sweet small-town guy who knows her better than anyone?

Fun, bubbly book

I really enjoyed this. It was a really good listen and the narrators were great. It was a good story pitched just right for the non reality TV fans to enjoy it too.

Good storyline

Great performances of a good story, though it was a tad predictable.

Loved Amanda, Josh, Liam’s accent and Amanda’s stepdad!

Deffo a great story if you want something easy, cute & light-hearted!

Performance good, storyline little lacklustre

Performance good, sound levels a bit up and down especially at the end when they were watching on the monitor, but didn't really buy the end romance. Seemed a little baseless and didn't really buy it.

Fun Time!!

I did worry a little that this would be too American for me (Brit reader here) and I mean… it kinda was but it didn’t take away from the fantastic performances of the cast. I really enjoyed it and sat and listened to it in one day.

Great performance but the story...

Great performance. It's really entertaining to listen to an audio book performed by a full cast. But I can't really say I enjoyed the story. Most romantic comedies are predictable, and I really enjoy listening to a nice, easy listening romantic comedy. But with this one, I really struggled to keep my interest and finish the book. Maybe I'm just not a fan of reality shows.

Really enjoyed this

Really fun listen, with some laugh out loud moments and a great ending.
I found the musical bits between the chapters/scenes a bit weird, but I still loved listening to this.
