About this ebook

She’s in need of a fake, friendly boyfriend to charm her family.

He’s the last bachelor up for auction and a grumpy, last-minute stand-in.

Neither satisfies the other’s requirements but they might just be what each of them needs.

With Lauren Connelly’s ex marrying her sister, the last thing she wants is to show up at the wedding without a date. Which means finding a fake boyfriend ASAP. The charity bachelor auction provides a solution to her problem, except the man she bids on turns out to be a gorgeous but grumpy executive who scowls more than he smiles.

Chase Gossard wants nothing to do with Lauren’s plan to make him her plus-one at a destination wedding and pretend that he’s in love. He doesn’t do relationships, fake or otherwise—but she paid a lot of money for the privilege. So why does their touching, kissing, and sharing one bed feel all too real?

Lauren is smart and witty and sexy as hell. A down to earth combination that somehow softens his hard edges, and somewhere along the way, he’s falling hard for his fake date. But when it’s time to part ways, can the pretend girlfriend convince the confirmed bachelor to make things real?

Ratings and reviews

Lauren was dating her boss, until she walked into work and found him with her sister. She quit, and moved to NYC. Now she needs a date to their wedding. She goes to a Bachelor auction put on by Future Fast Track. Billie needs an extra Bachelor so she gets her brother Chase to fill in. He would do anything for Billie, but he doesn't want to do this. He is the final Bachelor of the night. The man he took place for, who is who Lauren wanted based on his info packet, which means Lauren has to bid on him. They have an amazing weekend, but then Chase practically ghosts her. He send her a beautiful dress and an invite to dinner. They talk through everything. The epilogue is another Bachelor auction, without Chase this time. Up next is Caleb and Stevie in Just a Little Crush.

Just a Little Chase is Book 4 in the Dare Crossover series. This story is Lauren and Chase's story. It's a steamy, instalust, grumpy-sunshine, fake relationship, girl gets her hunk romance. Lauren is a sweet and sassy event planner who needs a date to her sister's upcoming wedding, in which her sister is marrying her ex. She is planning to bid on the bachelor auction and get a date that way. Chase is a hunky, grumpy businessman who agrees to do the auction last minute to help out his sister. He doesn't believe in love or do relationships. Lauren ends up bidding on him, and he fully plans to buy her off with expensive gifts, but she is having none of it and plans to hold him accountable. If course real feelings develop between both parties but Chase doesn't want to admit it. Will he just let her go??? I loved their witty and snarky banter, and the chemistry between these two was pure fire!!! I loved them together, and we did get a happy ending, but it was a bumpy ride. Loved it!
