Eliza
"Date for a
Cause: Auction nominees receive $2000"
That was the headline
for the Cooper's Cove charity auction, and here I was, newly single and down to
almost my last penny. I signed up, not even thinking that my friend, and local
billionaire, Hayden Anderson, might actually bid on me.
Until he didn’t.
Hayden
My entire life
had been spent dodging women who only wanted me because I was wealthy. Except
Eliza Shepard. She didn’t care that I was rich. When it came time for the
auction, I didn’t want to muddy the waters of our friendship with money.
Especially because what I felt for her went beyond friends.
Had I ruined
everything?

Excerpt
I meandered through
the crowd, saying hello to several people I knew, until I came to an abrupt
halt. Across the room, standing alone against a window, was the woman who
rarely left my mind. Eliza was absolutely stunning. The royal blue dress hugged
her every curve. The neckline was modest and it nearly reached her ankles, but
the color was perfect on her and only made her beautiful eyes pop with color. I
could count on one hand the number of times I’d ever seen her hair down.
Tonight, it spilled over her shoulders in soft waves.
As though sensing my
gaze, her eyes locked on mine and my heart stuttered inside my chest at the
wide smile she sent my way. My feet led me over to her.
“Good evening. You
look…wow.” My eyes continued to take her in.
A bright pink dashed
across Eliza’s cheeks. “Aren’t you the flatterer.” She nervously smoothed her
dress down her stomach. “Are you sure I look okay? Ava and I went panic
shopping today, because I didn’t have anything suitable in my closet. I didn’t
want to be underdressed, but I also didn’t want to go too extravagant.”
Catching her fingers
in my hand, I brushed my lips across her knuckles staring into her eyes.
“You’re absolutely perfect.”

This was a new author and series for me. The story easily stands alone and it was well written. It stars Hayden and Eliza who are friends and who have best friends in common and so they spend time together. They both have crushes on each other.
Eliza is broke and needs money so she decides to enter an auction for charity. Hayden is VERY wealthy and is tired of women using him for his wealth and so he refuses to bid on Eliza in the auction. But he likes her a lot, but ge does not want to pay for the date.
This story was quite tame and it had likeable characters. But it is a clean story and as I said very tame. I did not feel the attraction or the love or even the romance. It was a pleasant story with likeable characters but I did not really see this couple as being deeply in love. The book really didn't delve too deeply into the characters and so I had a arder time connecting to them.
