The Bachelor Auction

by Rachel Van Dyken

Overview

Cinderella never had to deal with this crap.

Jane isn't entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn't she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes---or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire --maybe do exist.

Except Brock Wellington isn't anyone's dream guy. Hell, a prince would never agree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk---even if it was just a favßade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it's karmic retribution that he's tempted by a sexy, sassy woman he can't have. But while they can't have a fairy-tale ending, maybe they can indulge in a little bit of fantasy . . .

Editorial Reviews

12/19/2016
The first in Van Dyken’s Bachelors of Arizona series charms readers with a decidedly modern retelling of the Cinderella story. After Jane’s father’s death, she inherited her family’s cleaning business and the care of her two spoiled sisters—which includes bailing them out of debt, cooking for them, and more. Wealthy orphan Brock Wellington has always put the needs of others before his own, so when his scheming grandfather blindsides him with the idea of auctioning himself off for marriage to the highest bidder, Brock feels he can’t say no. After Jane breaks a heel at a Wellington event, Brock solicitously plays the prince. But when Brock’s grandfather hires Jane to clean his late parents’ ranch without telling him, Brock turns into a surly knave. Brock’s extreme pain at being in his childhood home is evident; there are memories in every corner and rituals he can’t unlearn. Van Dyken (The Dare) also deftly portrays Jane’s insecurities and her confusion about Brock’s transformation from charmer to jerk. A lively cast of supporting characters—particularly Brock’s brothers, Bentley and Brant—provide numerous opportunities to chuckle and cheer in this lighthearted, eminently readable treat.

Publishers Weekly

"Laugh-out-loud fun! Rachel Van Dyken is on my auto-buy list."—Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author of the Lucky Harbor series

"If you want a story with make you laugh til you cry parts, heart melting sweet parts and melt your panty parts, this is the book for you! The family is in rare form, and the wedding week festivities are a hoot. What I really love, though is how Rachel's books are sexy, funny and romantic, but they also have serious issues for the main characters to work through. You might be rolling on the floor laughing one minute and tearing up the next. That's when books are the best! All I can say is, "Bring on book three, Rachel!"—The Book Hookers

"If you need a funny, light read ..., I promise you this is a superb choice!"—MustReadBooksOrDie.com
