Bidding on Brooks (The Winslow Brothers, #1) by Katy Regnery

Bidding on Brooks by Katy Regnery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bidding on Brooks is the first of four books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome Winslow brothers who are all on the look-out for love.

(Except Preston. He's been down that road before and still has the scars to prove it. And maybe Cameron, because he's super hot, but too hot-headed to be decent boyfriend material...)

Railroaded into a bachelor auction by his sister, Jessica, Brooks Winslow asks his friend, Skye Sorenson, to bid on him to avoid the possibility of any romantic entanglements. Fiercely competitive and protective of those he cares for, Brooks was profoundly affected by the loss of his father at an early age. A witness to his mother’s terrible loneliness and his siblings’ grief, the ex-Olympian has never allowed himself to fall in love.

Skye Sorenson, the plucky mechanic at Sorenson Marina, where Brooks moors his three sailboats, is a credible sailor in her own right…and has quietly lusted after Brooks for years. But her longstanding friendship with Brooks has always made romance seem impossible.

When Skye agrees to bid on Brooks, the two cast off for a weeklong ocean adventure on Brooks’ sailboat, The Zephyr, where the last thing Skye expects to lose is her heart.

Return to the world created in the English Brothers books with this fresh foursome of scorching hot Winslow Brothers!

*fanning self*

Is it hot in here or is it just Brooks and Skye?

Not that I've ever doubted her talent, but Ms. Regnery has delivered another endearing romance with just the right balance of sweetness and heat. If you're new to her writing, I'm warning you now that you're about to find yourself ruined for anything else.

She's done an amazing job of creating a couple who are so... well, human. With all of their flaws and insecurities out on the table, Skye and Brooks are real and relatable. From the first chapter, I was caught up in their journey from friends to lovers and I couldn't bear having to say goodbye to them.

It was a promising beginning to a new era of the Blueberry Lane series and I'm waiting not so patiently for Elise and Preston's story.
