Goodreads Synopsis
Sarah Campbell’s never bid in her high school's charity auction to win a date with one of the school's hottest guys. And she’s certainly not going to start now––when she’s still hurting over a bad breakup. The absolute last thing she’d ever do is bid on Mr. Ego himself, Chance DuPont.
Chance just wanted to help out a worthy cause, not get roped into not one but six dates with someone who seemingly can’t stand him. But when Sarah’s friends bid on him on her behalf, that’s exactly where he ends up. Now a local blog is covering the story by following them on all their dates, too?
Seems like everyone loves a good love story––except the two living it.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
In The Boyfriend Bid, Sarah has just gone through a bad breakup after discover her boyfriend had been cheating, and is dragged along to the school's charity auction with her best friends. She had no plans to bid on any of the soccer players, but after her friends place a bid on her behalf, and she won, she has to spend six dates with Chase - someone who she would never have wanted to be near. Chase, for his part, only agreed to take part because of his brother's current fight with Leukaemia, and would rather spend time with him. However, neither of them can get out of it, especially not when a local blogger, Erica, caught wind of it, and wanted to document the entire situation.
I enjoyed this book, and found both Sarah and Chase likeable characters. The situation with the forced dates and Erica's bloggers following them was a bit contrived, but you could see that when they were both really alone, they were falling for each other in a natural way. It was difficult for them to be themselves when they were mic-ed up, and had cameras following their every move, and for me to engage with the characters, but once you got passed this, it definitely improved the book. All in all, this was a fun and cute read.
