"Erotic romance that will curl your toes and have you reaching for a cold drink."

Rick Markham and Troy Hunter are business partners and have been good friends since college days. They both had the same idea about the ideal woman. Tall, slender, and beautiful blond. Troy was the first to break the pattern with women. He fell in love with a shy, full figured woman and is very happily married, and has a darling little girl.

Rick has agreed to be one of the bachelors auctioned off for charity and really isn't happy about it. He decides it's his duty to do the deed and off he goes to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Jennifer Rose and her best friend Cherica Martin are going to the auction to bid on bachelors offered. They have agreed they will only bid $200 for any man. Jennifer has a thing about good-looking blond men, but she doesn't trust them. Every handsome blond man she has known has wounded her in some way. Never again, she has vowed.

At the auction, Cherica quickly bids and wins a tall dark handsome man for a date. Next up is Rick Markham. Jennifer takes one look and thinks oh, boy a handsome blond, no way. She ends up bidding on him and to her astonishment gets into a bidding war with a tall, slender blond over him. Jennifer wins, after bidding $500, way over her limit.

Jennifer just knows that Rick would have loved to go out with the skinny blond, but he is stuck with her, a full bodied woman, with dark hair and lovely gray eyes.

What happens next is no surprise, Rick and Jennifer find a mutual attraction and the hot bedroom scenes that follow almost set the pages on fire.

There is a scene at a ballgame that will be hard for the reader to forget. This is an erotic adventure of finding true love is the reward. A must read for those romantic souls, who also want it to be erotic. I know I will be looking forward to reading more of her work in the future.
