REVIEW - The Bachelor Auction (The Bachelors of Arizona #1) by Rachel Van Dyken


The Book
Release Date: 4 October 2016

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 façade. 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 . .

My Review     5 STARS
**My thanks to Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Jane first meets Brock when she is practically forced to go to a party with her demanding and manipulative older sisters.  The sisters get drunk and rip her dress and Brock steps in as her saviour, only to them both to find a connection t hat they have never felt before.  But Brock has been told by his grandfather that he is being put up for auction and that he wants Brock to get married.

The visit between the pair is short and Jane leaves, having left a big impression on Brock and Jane cannot get him out of her head when she gets a phone call from an older gentleman asking her to clean up a house for the new occupants and she will get £30,000.  It is her nasty sisters that ultimately makes her mind up.

At the house, both find each other and Brock brothers turn up, getting Brock into an area where he has to face his fears and his feelings.  Within two weeks both Jane and Brock feel more for each other than for anyone else and Brock asks Jane to trust him.

Plans into action and all parties get what they want and Jane and Brock get a happiness they never though they would get.

I really liked this book and think that the twin brothers were almost the stars of the show and i cannot wait for them to get their happy ever afters.
