Review by Hibiscus

Her fantasy man is up for auction. Will Nico dare to bid?

Nico's history of romantic disasters has taught her when she gambles on men, she's fated to lose. That doesn't stop her from secretly lusting after Jeff, the handsome construction worker she sees every day on her way to work.

When the New York's Sexiest Bachelor auction begins and Jeff comes up on the block, she's seriously tempted to place a bid. The wager can't be taken lightly -- It might be for a good cause, but she's making a bid for love...

I thoroughly enjoyed "Bid For Love". It is a touching romance that has you rooting for both Nico and Jeff through the entire story and wishing for friends as true as Fran and Audrey.

Like many of us, Nico considers herself plain. She compares herself unfavorably to her buxom co-workers and other women. Jeff is extremely shy when around Nico. He doesn't consider himself that special and has a hard time believing he was listed as one of the ten sexiest men. I found myself wanting to force them to talk to each other and get together. I was kept on the edge of my seat as situation after situation happened to the both of them.

I laughed out loud at several of Ms. Chase's descriptions. Her wit is razor-sharp and shone throughout this story. I especially loved when she spoke about wanting variety and visiting the local ice cream parlor. There are several situations I've also wondered about. With the detailed descriptions in this story,  I now know all about speed dating and bachelor auctions. My heart was in my throat during the entire auction.

Savannah Chase's story, "Bid For Love", is an enjoyable read that I completely enjoyed and heartily recommend.
