You know that we Robin Bielman, so when we found out about the awesome collab she was doing with Charlene Sands, we jumped on the Blog Tour quicker than you can say hot bachelors, batman! *grin* We’ve got a really special giveaway for you, along with our thoughts on Falling for Her Bachelor, the second book in the Bachelor Auction Series. [sidenote: we loved the first book, Bachelor for Hire by Charlene Sands, too, but we don’t want to overwhelm you with all this mancandy today! ;)] First, we’ve got Robin and Charlene here to share who their dream bachelors would be! Enjoy, pretties.
***Dream Bachelors from Robin Bielman and Charlene Sands***
Hey everyone! Charlene and Robin here. We’re so happy to be celebrating the release of our Bachelor Auction books together! And being that we’ve never personally participated in a bachelor auction, we thought we’d have some fun and share our dream auction participants with you today.
It was tough narrowing it down to four, but since our series centers on four guys—high school football friends reuniting for a worthy cause—we picked that special number. So, here they are! The guys we’d like to bid a chunk of change on are…
Sign us up for any outdoor activity with the sexy, hot Chris Hemsworth!
We know we’d laugh until our stomachs hurt with the adorable Chris Pratt.
That tie is definitely coming off gorgeous Theo James if we get our hands on him.
And the very handsome Shemar Moore makes us want to stay quiet so we can just stare at him and listen to him talk all day.So tell us, who is your ultimate bachelor auction pick?

When Navy firefighter Nick Palotay returns to Marietta to go on the bachelor auction block for a good cause, he expects it to be risk free. But when he needs someone safe to bid on him and his sister's best friend is coaxed into stepping up, Nick isn’t prepared for the effect Cassidy has on him. She sends his mind to all kinds of dirty places…places his battered heart can’t afford.
Freelance photographer Cassidy Ware is in waaay over her head. She’s always been Nick’s other little sister, but she’s all grown up now and just a glance from him leaves her hot and bothered. Still, she can stay immune to his charms and keep him at an emotional distance because she’s got an agenda, too. She’ll help the too-handsome Nick with his charitable deed, and, in return, he’ll help her keep an unwelcome suitor at bay.
A deal’s a deal, but when their “business transaction” turns into more pleasure than duty, can they walk away from each other without losing what matters most?
***Our Thoughts***
Kassiah: Have you ever been in a reading slump and just needed something? Something that was fun and sexy without being bogged down with crazy, unnecessary drama and adults that act like toddlers?
You guise. I’ve loved Robin Bielman ever since the very first book of hers that I’ve read, and I love following her on social media. But let me tell you something right now: there is so much more to her than the fun blonde jokes she posts on facebook! She is a force to be reckoned with, and Falling for Her Bachelor was exactly what I needed to read!
So, what’s this about? Photographer Cassidy Ware had a crush on her older brother’s best friend, Nick, when they were kids. Now all grown up, Nick and Cassidy make a deal for Cassidy to bid on him in the upcoming Bachelor Auction (for charity) to keep an old flame at bay. He agrees to go with her to a party to fend off some guy for her. You know what happens–they spend a weekend together and finally notice the smoking hot chemistry they have and can’t keep their hands off each other.
This story is fast-paced and so much fun. I loved the way these characters interacted with each other. And sure, I loved Nick. No surprise there–Bielman always delivers swoon-worthy guys who make me weak in the knees. But what did kind of surprise me is how much I liked Cassidy. This wasn’t a girl who had spent her whole life pining away for her brother’s best friend. She lived her life, overcoming traumatic things in her past, and becoming successful in her own right. And it’s crazy hot. My only complaint is that I wanted more, and I hope we get to see more of them in the other books in this series.
If you’re looking for a quick, sexy read that will keep you entertained from the first page until the last, look no further than Falling for Her Bachelor by Robin Bielman. You’re going to love it.
