About the author

Sylvie Haas obsesses over dirty-talking heroes who fall hard and fast for the women of their dreams. And often you’ll find heroes, yes plural, in one book because she has such a hard time making the heroine choose one possessive guy.

On most days, you can find Sylvie with the wind in her hair, her fingers on the keyboard, and her mind in the gutter as she thinks up new places her characters can get frisky.

Sylvie’s books will always deliver a happily ever after, and even though they’re short, they’ll leave you feeling satisfied!

A novella about a young woman finding love with her three stepbrothers. The young woman put herself up for a charity auction that happens every year.
Before the charity auction could start a blizzard stranded the women who were to be auctioned off so the women who were the waitresses decided to help the charity by putting themselves up for auction.
The young woman met a man who actually won the bid for her but after her three stepbrothers chatted with her she opted out of being with the man and the next bidding win was her stepbrothers.
The young woman starts having feelings for her three stepbrothers and the three stepbrother has always had feelings for their stepsister.
Throughout their time at the auction place the four stay together and one of the stepbrothers is intimate with their stepsister the next morning before leaving to go to work.
The young woman stays with her stepbrother in their place. During this time the young woman meets with her friends and during one of these times they talk about being pregnant. After meeting her friends the young woman is kidnapped by the man who originally won the bid for her. The three stepbrothers figure out what happened and go get their stepsister. The three stepbrothers leave the man for the police to find.
Before they get home they stop at a store and once they get home the three stepbrothers apologize to their stepsister. The young woman tells her stepbrothers about her surprise.
It’s the young woman’s due date when she gets a text to meet her three stepbrothers and when she gets to the meeting place they present her with something old, borrowed, blue and new before the three stepbrothers married their stepsister.
The four are in love and happy for the family they are starting as well as together.
An easy to read novella which is a page turner with great characters as well as steamy romance that makes it a happily ever after novella.

Ruckus, Flame and Ghost are arson investigators. They are Sabrina’s stepbrothers. Sabrina is waitressing at the annual Cherry Valley Auction. Ruckus is 32 and it scares him that he is attracted to 20 year old Sabrina. He knows his two brothers also have feelings for Sabrina. Sabrina ends up being a last minute substitute in the actual auction along with her two best friends Jasmine and Betsy.

A hottie in the crowd was flirting with Sabrina and now bid on her. Her stepbrothers realize that the man is Tyson whom they are in the middle of investigating regarding a series of arson cases. They have a feeling that Tyson is only bidding on Sabrina to get back at them. Tyson wins the bid for Sabrina but after talking to her stepbrothers, she invokes the clause that says she can refuse Tyson. Her stepbrothers were the second highest bid, so they pay for Sabrina. Tyson vows to get back at them all.

I was surprised that Sabrina had sexual feelings about her stepbrothers. I knew at some point Tyson was going to try to seek revenge. I was rooting for them to defeat Tyson and get their happily ever after.

Not only is Sabrina's checklist completed in this book, but it appears to be the end of this season's auction series. I had mixed feelings about this one. While the chemistry between Sabrina and her step brother's was great, the "drama" part of the story with Mr. Hottie McDollar Signs was more than I cared for. I didn't think that fire was a trigger for me, but apparently it is. Even just them talking about past incidents and the step brothers jobs, was too much for me. So I'm thankful to put this book to the side and read something else to purge the thoughts from my head. And now I can put a new trigger down for me and hopefully avoid any of that in future books I read.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Sabrina, Ruckus, Flame, & Ghost. The guys are trying to burn off a little steam as well as keep their sister safe. When they learn that she is going to be on the auction block they will do anything to keep her. Sabrina is looking to go along with her friends. When she has a man pay her attention while working as a waitress at an event she hopes to get more. When one of her friends say that they should put themselves up for bid. She decides to go along with it if only she can avoid her brothers. Can they all find a HEA or will it be more than they can hide?

Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Sabrina joins the Cherry Auction after a blizzard causes the original virgins not to be able to show up. She was originally just a waitress there but she was getting a lot of attention from one of the attendees. So when she decides to join the auction he ends up winning her outbidding her three Step Brothers. Lucky for her her Step Brothers warn her and so she refuses his bid and goes to the second highest bidder her step brothers. I enjoyed this one more than all the other ones because one you get four virgins for the price of one and you get the mystery in danger.

This was a quick read that was super spicy as well as excitingly dangerous for Sabrina and her three stepbrothers Ghost, Ruckus and Flame. When Sabrina participates in the virgin auction at the local club, she didn’t realise that the man who was bidding on her was under investigation. Her stepbrothers protected her and came to her rescue when it was needed, and finally, they ended up with a happily ever after.

Oh man, this book, while fast paced with a lot of main characters, is sooo good. I literally could not stop reading it once I started. I don't want to give anything away, but I LOVE the MMCs and MFC. They're solid characters and while I don't usually like reverse harems, this one is just *chef's kiss.*

Seriously, you won't regret reading it. Why are you still reading this review? Get the book and start reading it instead!.

This book is a wonderful addition to the Cherry Auction series. In true Cherry Auction fashion, it’s Christmas time, and a fantastic Auction takes place with proceeds going to a charity. Sabrina picks up a shift waitressing at the event. Sabrina lives her life organized with a checklist. Some hiccups occur with the Auction. Sabrina must decide whether to spontaneously participate or refuse since it isn’t preplanned with a checklist. Sabrina’s three stepbrothers are in attendance. Dive into this sweet world to find out what she will decide.

Getting on the naughty list

Good Girl and Grinches is the twelfth book in the multi-year Christmas Cherry Auction series. This is a forbidden and very naughty story about Sabrina and her three over protective stepbrothers, Flame, Ghost and Ruckus. Let's just say that if you love your romance taboo and dirty then this story will be right for you...and will also get you on Santa's "special" naughty list. But it will be so worth getting some coal in your stocking, along with three smexy hot men.

[Leisel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another truly fantastic read for the festive season (or not) that really leaves you wanting to read more about these incredible dynamics of characters that are found in Eggplant Canyon. I will admit it sounds so very delicious all of them, which really makes it hard to say one story is better than another.
Sometimes the character dynamics are a little taboo but ever so tempting and scrumptious sounding and what isn't to like but men that know how to truly please.

Sabrina signs up as a replacement auctionee at the Christmas Cherry Auction. When Ty, a suspected arsonist wins the bid, she opts out, leaving the new winners of her bid to be her stepbrothers Ruckus, Ghost and Flame. The guys are Sabrina's forever fantasy. They've always been interested in her. The guys decide on a game of rock, paper, scissors to determine who gives Sabrina which orgasm.

Sabrina is going to be auctioned off, that wasn't the plan but when the original auctionee's get stuck in bad weather, Sabrina steps in. But a local arsonist has his eyes set on her, much to her three step brothers annoyance. Her step brothers are just trying to protect her right?! Sabrina hopes not, because she's hoping for more than just "protection" from her step brothers.

Short, spicy read.
4/5 Stars
3/5 Spice

This was a fun and hot romance for Sabrina and her three step brothers, Ghost, Flame and Ruckus. She's been hoping for so much more that just being their little step-sis and the auction finally gets her everything she's been looking for ;P Of course, there's drama and excitement, too, when the man who first won her was disclosed as being under investigation... Expect a fast paced and steamy read with danger, excitement and tons of heat as these four finally get their HEA :D

[Becky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rukus, Ghost, and Flame are faced with their feelings for their stepsister, Sabrina, when she is put up for auction. Yes, they are all in love with her, and she is in love with them. They don't know that the others feel the same way. This is a hot and spicy book; be prepared! There is a bit of drama, but not much. It's a short and fun read.

[Anngela · Rating 3 out of 5]

It took me a little to get interested in this book. Slow start. Once the story evolved then I was hooked. It has twists from a sex club to mystery for cops to solve. Keeping the characters straight also gave me pause. In the end I liked the book. But I love romance and throw in the twist of the law and Ryder stuff.

I loved reading about Sabrina and her stepbrothers Ghost, Ruckus, and Flame. She signs up for the Christmas Cherry Auction. She gets nervous before it starts but a checklist helps her through it. Her stepbrothers convince her to opt-out on the highest bidder which lets them be the winning bid. Will they discover a happily ever after?

I’ve read several of Sylvie Haas Christmas Ch3rry Auction books and so far this one has been my favorite. They all seem to be the same theme, v1rg1n1ty auction, Christmas, age gap, step brother, steamy and fast paced novellas. If this is what you are looking for, this is your book.

I enjoyed the interplay between the four main characters. Also the three male leads names are hilarious (to me anyway). If you like Reverse Harem short spicy stories then you will more than likely enjoy this one as well.

All she wants to do is get her party planning business off the ground, she is just working as a waitress for the event. Her step-brothers are also there to keep her safe, however when the women that are suppose to be auctioned off do not show, her and the other waitress step in.

This is an entertaining reverse harem age, gap short story, romance, book that holds your attention from the beginning to the end. The storyline is intriguing as the elements unfold. The characters are well written with steamy chemistry together. I enjoyed this book.

Another steamy and spicy offering in Christmas Cherry Auction series has Sabrina bid on by her three stepbrothers - Ruckus, Flame and Ghost - after she joins the auction at the last minute. OTT men, fast paced and steamy as heck, what more could you ask for for Christmas?.

Sabrina mag ihre Listen und ihre Ordnung und natürlich ihren Lipgloss, ohne dem geht sie nicht aus dem Haus. und doch bekommt sie kalte Füße um bei der Auktion mitzumachen, aber was für ein Glück, ihre Freundin hilft ihr mit einer Liste, für den der sie ersteigert, was er alles mit ihr machen darf. Punkt für Punkt steht das, was sie sich insgeheim wünscht.

Die Auktion ist voll im Gange und ihre Stiefbrüder wollen sie vor einen großen Fehler bewahren und doch bekommt ein anderer den Zuschlag. Die drei geben sich damit nicht zufrieden und reden mit Sabrina, sagen was sie wissen, zumindest so viel wie sie dürfen. Sie muss nun eine Entscheidung treffen hört sie auf die Drei oder aber der Bieter vor dem der sie gewonnen hat bekommt den Zuschlag.

Was werden die drei wohl so erleben, denn hier muss ein Vertrag erfüllt werden und das mit Zuschauern. Was wird aus ihrer Liste?

Auch hier ist es wieder unglaublich, was die Autorin hier erschaffen hat, ich liebe diese Reihe.

Eine ganz klare Kauf-Leseempfehlung

5 / 5 Sterne

Die zurückhaltende Sabrina ist diesmal die Glückliche, die ersteigert wird.
Sie liebt Listen.
Deshalb hat sie auch eine Liste was sie mit ihren Stiefbrüdern alles machen will. Das hört sich so einfach an....
Ist es aber nicht.
Lest diese zuckersüße Geschichte und findet es heraus.
Ich hatte meinen Spaß dabei
