The location: A lavish mansion filled with twelve bachelors hoping to win Mattie’s heart and $50,000—and one man with an ulterior motive….

Reviews for The Dating Game

[Joyce Harout · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It's a good story but super predictable. Heather Firth is so awesome! Love her.

[Laura · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a fun, entertaining, quick read. David and Mattie are interesting, relatable, intriguing, complex, entertaining, fun characters. I enjoyed them as individuals and a couple. Their romance is full of twists and turns, which was fun to read. I enjoyed this story and how it played out. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment.

I enjoyed the audio version of this story and the narrator.

Predicable and necessarily rushed. But a cute overall quick listen.

[Sally de Beer · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It wasn’t what I expected, bit schmaltzy - I was disappointed after the last book which was fresh and delightful

[Linda Smith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent listen. The characters had my attention from page one

After reading the reviews I was skeptical to read this novel but I’m so happy I did. It was a great light read and the story line was great and relatable.

[Carla Friske · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I didn’t make the 3 rd chapter. This book is so ridiculously catty . Nothing close to humor.

[Yolandi Kruger · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book had a lot of potential, but ended up a tad bit boring.

[Melinda Wortman · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This might have been better with a different narrator. This one is difficult to listen to.

[Elle Fort · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Easy read, fun and cheesy, but I probably won't remember anything about it if someone were to ask.

[julie · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Boring and unrealistic
The heroine is supposed to be an intelligent strong woman, but this book makes her out to be a dummy

[Beckie Hawkins · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This whole book was so frustrating because those dating shows don’t even work that way. It’s clear the author did very little research… Not to mention the plot that’s basically invisible.
