Fantasy by Lori Foster

Rating: 4 1/2 ♥

Review: Sebastian Sinclair is not thrilled to find himself on the auction block at a charity auction, but because it's for a good cause (a woman's shelter), he submits to the indignity of being bid on by rabid women. ;) When he is bought by the organizer of the event as a birthday present for her sister, Sebastian is thrilled to meet Brandi, a woman he found himself captivated by while he stood on the block. But Brandi is not happy with her sister's present, but to help her sister's shelter, she grudgingly consents to go on a short getaway (part of the prize) with this sexy stranger. Brandi doesn't think she can ever be with a man because of her bad past experiences, but she is surprised to find that Sebastian might be exaclty what she needs....

This little book took me by surprise. This is one of Foster's early works, and it's easy to see how she has attained such popularity after reading this. For a 217 page book it tackles some serious issues, but also manages to be sweet, endearing, sexy, and totally engrossing. I devoured it in one day (like that was hard - LOL!), and wished for more! And can I just add that I LOOOOVE a hero named Sebastian. It's my number one favorite hero name.......
