Samantha Rainford III is a force to be reckoned with. She is days away from her thirtieth birthday and just home from her three weeks honeymoon when she is served with divorce papers. Heartbroken and newly divorced what is a woman to do, but join a top secret private special-ops training camp. Sam and her best friend Slick discover that Sam is not the first Mrs. Douglas Cosmo Rainford III, but the fourth. She locates the other ex-wives, and they create a most unlikely team.

Fern Michaels will open up the reader’s eyes with The Marriage Game. Ms. Michaels has brought a fabulous love story with a humorous twist. Sam is a heroine every woman will want to be, and Pappy is the hero they will drool over. Ms. Michaels has a winner with this one. The Marriage Game has everything a reader wants and so much more. This is one read you cannot live without. I would recommend The Marriage Game to everyone that loves a little bit of action, suspense, and thrills rolled in to one love story. This is an action packed smoking hot read. I cannot wait to see what she will come up with next.
