About this eBook

Being a bachelor has its perks. It also has its downside. Just ask Derek Bettencourt.

Standing on stage and being auctioned off in the name of charity is awkward AF… until his business partner’s younger sister wins him for the weekend. He’s all hers to do with as she pleases and he can’t say he’s unhappy with the prospect. Especially since she saved him from an ex-fiancée determined to get her claws into him again.

Jessica Cavanaugh never intended to bid on the man she’s had a lifetime crush on. But her spur-of-the-moment decision gives her a chance to exact a bit of playful payback, for old time’s sake. And Derek is all too happy to indulge Jessica's whims.

What starts as a fun, flirty, game, with Derek acting as her personal handyman, quickly turns into a steamy and forbidden weekend. Lines are crossed that they never intended and emotions unravel their playful facades. Afterward, he can’t get the gorgeous, full-figured woman out of his head and he’s determined to make her his.

But how can they concentrate on a future when someone is threatened by their relationship and will do anything to come between them?

* A Dare Crossover novel featuring Derek Bettencourt from Carly Phillips’ novel, Just One Taste.

4.5 Stars This is the first book in this series, but we got to know Derek in his sister's book. I'm glad we get his book. That man is prime book boyfriend material. He had me swooning in this one, but along with his swoon worthy behavior he is a dirty talker as well. This is a brother's best friend romance and boy is it a good one. Jessica has always had a crush on her brother's best friend. The bachelor auction leads to some unexpected events.

Jessica had always been in love with her brothers best friend, Derek. So when he's up for auction and she doesn't want her high school bully/his ex-fiancee to win, she will win him at whatever cost. One weekend turns into a relationship with a happily ever after, even with the issues and doubts she has. You will definitely fall in love with Derek's love for Jessica and his no hesitation to let her brother know. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
