THE PLAYBOY BACHELOR by Rachel Van Dyken (August 29, 2017; Forever Mass Market; $7.99; The Bachelors of Arizona Book 2)
NOW IN MASS MARKET PAPERBACK!
She's no Sleeping Beauty. And he's definitely no prince . . .
Margot McCleery could have lived her whole life without seeing Bentley Wellington again-her ex-best friend and the poster boy for Hot, Rich Man-Whores everywhere. But Margot's whiskey-augmented grandmother "buys" Bentley at a charity bachelor auction, and now suddenly he's at her door. Impossibly charming. Impossibly sexy. And still a complete and utter jackass.
Bentley's just been coerced by his grandfather to spend the next thirty days charming and romancing the reclusive red-haired beauty who hates him. The woman he abandoned when she needed him the most. Bentley knows just as much about romance as he knows about love-nothing. But the more time he spends with Margot, the more he realizes that "just friends" will never be enough. Now all he has to do is convince her to trust him with her heart . . .

Excerpt
“I’m writing a kissing scene!” she blurted,
mentally kicking herself for screaming it in his face. “And the guy’s a
complete jackass. Since my only experience with jackasses is you…” Her voice
was shaky, just like her body. Could he tell how much she wanted him? How much
she hated that her response was this—raw. “I-I figured you were the only one
who could show me what it’s like.” Good
one, Margot. Do you really have to sound so…desperate?
“What what’s like?”
“A kiss. From a jackass.”
“Got the jackass part.” He treaded water and then
grabbed her by the arm and pulled her deeper into the pool until they were on
the opposite end, his body pressed against hers. At least his eyes were still
locked on her face. “And you’ve never been kissed?”
She rolled her eyes. “Not by someone like—”
“If you keep insulting me, this kiss won’t ever
happen, Red.”
“Don’t call me that,” Margot whispered. Was she so
weak that she’d forgive his abandonment for one kiss? “Please?”
“This kiss.” His calculated gaze didn’t make her
feel any better about the situation. “How long does it need to be? How deep?
Where do you want my hands?”
Margot’s mouth dropped open. “That’s not how
kisses work! You can’t just map out the kiss. That takes all the romance out of
it!”
“Oh, so you want romance?”
“Yes! No! I mean. I didn’t say that!” Her face
flamed, and she sagged in defeat. Admitting she wanted romance kind of felt
like she was on the losing end of the little battles they’d been having, like
she was giving him an in. And if he got in, he’d only hurt her again.
“I was joking,” he said, just before his lips
brushed hers. His tongue slid across her bottom lip and then sucked it for a
few seconds before he slid it into her mouth and deepened the kiss.
Her lips softened beneath his gentle coaxing, and
his hard thighs pressed against hers as a deep hunger awakened within her.
Oh, this was bad.
So bad.
And very, very
good at the same time.
The Playboy Bachelor is book 2 in the Bachelors of Arizona and it's a series I'm falling in love with.
Bentley and Margot have a history, they were friends before a tragic accident tore them apart. Margot has since become a recluse who spends her time writing historical romance novels, Bentley spends most of his time making bad press so when he is given the opportunity to prove to his grandfather and himself that he is better than the press paint him he jumps at the chance but that means proving to Margot that deep down he is a good person, it's time to win his best friend back !!
This book had me on an emotional roller coaster, I cried, I laughed and I fell in love with this couple. If you love second chance romance then this is a must read, it will also hit all the right notes with rom-com lovers, I do believe you could read it as a standalone but I also recommend you pick up book one as that's also a great read. Rachel Van Dyken has a way with words, this series is fast becoming a favourite of mine and I can't wait for book 3 .

This is the second book in The Bachelors of Arizona series and it was awesome.
I loved reading the second chance story of Bentley and Margot.
Bentley and Margot were best friends as teenagers until a tragic accident broke them apart.
Margot has since become a recluse and successful romance author and Bentley has turned into the Playboy Bachelor. Bentley always seems to make the news for all the wrong reasons and now wants to prove himself to not only his grandfather but himself as well. He wants to become the man that Margot deserves.
The story has a liking to Beauty and the Beast as Margot lost her leg in the accident when she was 16.
Again in this story, both characters have to fight their inner demons head on and in Margot’s case learn to trust again.
I loved the twists that were thrown in and of course Bentley’s grandfather and the CEO of Titus Enterprises play an integral part with matching these two together.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!
