1. One Night with Her Bachelor by Kat Latham

 

Bid on a date with this wounded warrior for an unforgettable night of adventure. Aim high—and bid higher!—because no one comes close to local hero Gabriel Morales. 

Molly Dekker hates being the town charity case, but when her son Josh is seriously injured she has no choice. She lets her best friend organize a bachelor auction to help pay her massive bills and make Josh’s life more comfortable. She can’t bid on any of the men, but a surprise bidder gives her a gift she never expected: a date with the man who saved her son’s life—the only one she’s in danger of losing her heart to. 

Former Air Force pararescueman Gabriel Morales made a career of flying to the rescue, until a tragic helicopter crash stole more than his livelihood. Being auctioned off like a slab of beef isn’t in his recovery plan. But one look, one touch and one night unlocking Molly’s pent-up passion make him realize how badly he needs to be rescued…and how badly he wants to rescue Molly right back. 

Will Molly and Gabriel’s never-quit attitude have them rushing head-first into love? Or will Gabriel’s secret pain stall their relationship before it can get off the ground?

 

2. Uncommon Passion by Anne Calhoun

 

After leaving a restrictive religious community, Rachel Hill is on a mission to divest herself of her virginity. Newly independent and struggling to establish herself, she’s not looking for anything complicated. She bids on sexy SWAT officer Ben Harris at a bachelor auction, confident he’ll give her the night of her life and nothing more.

But Ben is jaded and detached, living his life in an endless cycle of danger-fueled adrenaline jags, drinking, and sex. When he misses the fact that his bachelor auction hookup is a virgin, he’s shocked by his obliviousness, and by the risk she took. To make amends, Ben offers Rachel all he can: a no-strings-attached sexual education.

Ben’s lessons introduce Rachel to down and dirty passion, but she’s searching for something more profound than sex, and she’s willing to walk away to find it. Ben can’t get Rachel out of his head, but will he come to terms with his troubled past and learn to love?

I picked up this book from my TBR pile because I liked the cover. I thought it was fun and sexy and I was curious to see if I would like the story as much as I liked the cover.This book follows FBI Agent Harmony Swift as she tries to manuever her way through the system to 1) break Cole Hackett out of prison and 2) free her good friend from kidnappers. She needs Cole's computer skills to move some money that the FBI won't move for the kidnappers so that she could free the only father figure she's had since her parents died. She's new to being a field agent and it's clear from the jump why her superiors won't put her in the field. She's much too emotional and that's so true. Harmony jumped into this little situation that she created for herself and at the beginning of the book, it felt like Harmony was in over her head and she was kind of just flailing about trying to make things work.This book was definitely action packed, it was one action scene after another. They were running from the cops, running from the FBI and then they were jumping on trains and just..on the run. The action scenes definitely kept the story moving but it kind of took away from the characters. I mean, I saw the characters running for their lives and I was hoping that they'd make it out alive but I didn't really know the characters. I knew their names and I knew that Cole was in prison because the FBI dicked him over and then I knew that Harmony's parents died when she was a kid and that she was blonde but that's about it. As the story progressed, we learned a little bit more about them but when I put this book down, I can't say for certain that I would remember either the hero or the heroine a few months from now.Cole Hackett has a big chip on his shoulder and he hates the FBI. They dicked him over and stole 8 years of his life and that big ass chip on his shoulder was understandable. He's a computer nerd who beefed up in prison because he didn't want to be anybody's bitch so he learned to fight and he got muscles and turned himself into a sexy man, I thought he was a pretty decent hero. When we first meet Cole, he just got out of prison, he's horny and he's stuck with a gorgeous blonde and when she gets drunk and throws herself at him, he turns her away because she's drunk? That made me laugh. Aside from the fact that even after I finished the book, I didn't feel as if I knew Cole. The only thing I knew for certain was that he was a hot little computer nerd. Very sexy, but that's it.Same with Harmony. She was smart as a whip and witty to boot but after all was said and done, that's really all I knew about her. Well that and she was lusting after Cole like it was nobody's business. Harmony is an FBI Agent who is on a mission. One that's not really sanctioned by the FBI but she needs to do what she needs to do to save the life of the only man that has given a damn about her since her parents died. The FBI won't save him so she takes it upon herself to save him and to pull it off, she needs Cole's help.This was a pretty decent first Penny McCall read. I enjoyed the action scenes, I enjoyed watching Cole and Harmony together and watching them run for their lives but because I didn't finish the book with a good sense of who the main characters were, it chipped away at my enjoyment of the book as a whole. I wanted more character development and I just didn't feel like I got that but it was still an okay read and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to read those fast paced, action packed romances.

Tried and tried to finish this book but I could not. I was not really into the hero or herione. So I am going to stop on page 53 and call it a wrap.
