Nothing screams desperation like buying a date at an
auction, and Annie Davis is beyond desperate. Having just
broken up with her boyfriend after discovering he was
married, Annie has to show up for her family reunion with a
boyfriend in tow or else she'll never hear the end of it
from her family. When the last man to be auctioned off is
not only drop dead gorgeous but also a blue collar worker,
Annie figures her prayers have been answered and snatches
him up before anyone can beat her to it.
Sean Murphy is anything but a blue collar worker. The son
of an Irish farmer, Sean's blazed his own path to being a
successful European entrepreneur by servicing many women
around the world, all for a price. When he meets Annie, he
recognizes her for the innocent she is and starts to fall
for her. The more he gets to know her though, the more he
realizes she'll never accept him for what he was. With his
sordid past, Sean's not the kind of guy Annie can take home
to her parents. Or is he?
For as long as I can remember, Harlequin's have always
gotten a bad rap, even in the romance world. After having
read Leslie Kelly's HEATED RUSH, I can't understand at all
why that is. I loved everything about this book. From
Annie's desperate bid to get a date so she can avoid her
family hassling her to Sean's self-loathing over his past,
this book was the perfect endorphin filling rush that
reminds you of all the reasons you read romance in the
first place. If these are the kinds of novels Harlequin is
offering, then please, sign me up for more.
You know you're hard up when you have to buy a date…
But Annie Davis's big family reunion is looming, and she
needs a stand-in man fast or she'll never hear the end of
it. Any gorgeous guy will do. Her solution? The drop-dead-
sexy man at the charity bachelor auction. His good looks
and blue-collar background make him perfect for her! Or is
he?
Sean Murphy has a bit of a surprise for Annie. Not only is
he not blue-collar, he's actually a sophisticated European
entrepreneur, one who's made pleasuring women an art form.
And he wants to permanently pleasure Annie! But Sean knows
that if she discovers his secret, their wickedly delicious
liaison will be over. Lucky for both of them, he's learned
enough tricks to keep Annie distracted for a long, long
time….
