Curvy Girls' Bachelor Auction #9

Win a Date with a Firefighter

Rate this book
A curvy woman wins a fantasy date with a grumpy firefighter at a bachelor's auction and winds up taking on more than she ever could have imagined.

It's finally my turn to go on a date with one of the handsome bachelors from the charity auction. And they must have been saving best for last, because I'm going on a date with a firefighter. I'm not just going on a date with a firefighter (he's even named Blaze, can you believe it?), but I'm getting to spend the night with him at the firehouse. Can you imagine the drama and the excitement?

Or... maybe not. My expectations for the evening are quickly turned on their head when instead of watching Blaze carry people out of burning buildings, I instead watch him clean equipment and make enough chili to feed a small village.

But even if my date doesn't match the fantasy I built in my head, that doesn't mean the experience won't be life-changing. And it doesn't mean I won't leave the date without offering up my heart.

Playing out their fantasy

Win a Date with a Firefighter is the ninth book in the The Curvy Girls’ Bachelor Auction series. Jackie is out at the charity bachelor auction for the hospital with a table of her friends with the possibility of meeting your forever love dancing in her head. As she peruses the program she quickly marks one bachelor, a bodyguard, to win for her best friend Birdie to make her fantasy come true. She also spots a sexy firefighter with the perfect name, Blaze, for herself. She wants something different for her date and goes about getting it with a call. Blaze is an overworked and over stressed firefighter who is always the one to be put up for fundraising events, and so he finds himself auctioned off for a date to the highest bidder. What he was not expecting was something different, a request, as to the type of date....a night at the firehouse with him. These two have a spark that starts to smoulder and is just about to catch when Jackie has a realization about her life and who exactly she and what she does in the world. Blaze is going to have to go after Jackie but he is not sure exactly how. But thanks to his best friend and fellow firefighter he gets an idea and goes about making it happen. It might not start out the way he wanted but in the end he does win the girl and they burn up the sheets together.
This book is a wonderful addition to this series and is the ending of the bachelor auctions in Denver. But don't be sad as their are more bachelor auctions in Seattle to be read about next.

Jackie wins Blaze at the charity auction. She’s always had a thing for firefighters since she was a little girl. Their date takes place at the fire station instead of the usual wine and dine dates of the other auction winners. Blaze has been hard on himself lately taking on a lot of responsibilities at work and putting pressure on himself. He does feel a spark with Jackie but thinks she will find him too boring and uninteresting. This was a wonderful read. Blaze is a quiet hero and never taking praise for whet he’s done. Jackie sees this and begins to wonder if she isn’t good enough for Blaze and all his good deeds. These two were perfect for one another as Jackie brought out Blaze’s fun loving side that had been lost and Blaze showed Jackie that she helped people in her own way. They had an electric connection and was emotional as well as physical. Looking forward to the new location for the next books.I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The 9th installment of Kate Tilney's The Curvy Girls' Bachelor Auction series is the charming and steamy Win a Date with a Firefighter. One of those involved in the planning of the Bachelor Auction fundraiser, Jackie decides to gift herself with a date with the firefighter up for auction. Blaze is the handsome alpha firefighter whose not all that thrilled with being "won" - until he lays eyes on Jackie. The two have an instant and intense connection but both will have to get out of their own way if they want to burn up together rather than fizzle out.

A fun, entertaining and swoon-worthy read! Another delightful entry in this fantastic series!

Jackie days are usually filled with spa days and lunches with friends. When she wins the date with Blaze, she has a small hope to live out of her fantasy.

Blaze is the one the Chief calls on to give tours of the firehouse and to talk to those who offer donations, so he was the one that was put up for the Auction.

Jackie and Blaze have an instant connection as he crashes into when she walks in. By the end of the date, Jackie realized what a hero Blaze is and does not feel worthy.

Great fast romance that will make you smile and warm your heart. Jackie and Blaze's chemistry is electric, their big hearts will have you melting.

I loved Book 9 of The Curvy Girls’ Bachelor Auction. This time we have firefighter Blaze and rich girl Jackie. The chemistry between Blaze and Jackie is hot but when their date is interrupted by Blaze saving a kid, Jackie realizes he’s way to good for her. She’s just a socialite and not as important as Blaze. So she walks away. Can Blaze convince her they are better together? A great storyline and lovable characters. I would love to see Monroe knocked on his bottom. I would definitely recommend this book and the whole series.

Jackie has a firefighter fantasy so when she wins a date with a firefighter in a charity auction she’s very excited. Blaze is a little grumpy but really a wonderful caring person. Their attraction is instant. Jackie runs when she feels she is not good enough for Blaze but he won’t let her go, he’s determined to fulfil her fantasies and be her forever. Very sweet and romantic story with fantastic chemistry and a beautiful HEA.

Jackie has had a thing for firemen, when she sees Blaze is one of the bachelors at the auction, she is determined to win him for herself. Even better their date is at the firehouse, their initial encounter knocks the breath out of both them.

Blaze is not just a fireman he is a good guy and his selfless displays make her think she is not good enough for the firefighter and ends the date. What Jackie does not know is she left an impression on Blaze and said firefighter is determined to go after his girl.

The fantasy continued with the auctions for bachelors, when Jackie wins her date with firefighter, Blaze. Blaze was a true hero, he always managed to pass the glory off to his bestfriend. Jackie decided Blaze was a better person than she was even if she had helped raise millions for charity, because she never missed a photo opportunity. A fun exciting story perfect for a quick afternoon break or before bedtime.

This book was awesome - I fell in love with Blaze and Jackie. Blaze is a firefighter who was win at a charity auction by Jackie. Jackie is a trust fund baby. Charity work is all she knows. When she meets Blaze she realizes what a REAL hero is.
This author has a series of books in this collection but each one can be read as a standalone. This book was so much fun to read! The steamy parts were fun too!.

Finally the organizer of the curvy girls bachelor auction gets her date and HEA. I liked both Jackie and Blaze as characters. The chemistry seemed to struggle a little bit at first but a few competitive games of foosball and mister grumpy was a little less gruff. We also get to see the heart of gold side of him during a rescue. It makes Jackie rethink what she does with her time and money, but also makes her question whether she’s worthy of his attention. I liked that together they could be the best versions of themselves.

Sweet story!!!!

Jackie won a date with a firefighter Blaze.... Jackie realize what a great guy Blaze was, the way he handled the little boy, made him smile, and the way he saves life and cares for people.... Jackie realize she wasn't good enough for Blaze and decided to end the date and not go forward with another one with him because she feels he is better off without her.... But Blaze proves her wrong that she is good enough for him and that she does good things too, that she doesn't give her self enough credit.... It was a sweet kind short story....

I loved this story. Usually, the male character is the one who walks away thinking he's not good enough for the girl. In "Win a Date with a Firefighter" roles are reversed and it's Jackie who doesn't think she's good enough for Blaze. But she is! And she is also what was lacking in his life. Lots of romance in this book. five stars.

I thought that this was a really good book. I enjoyed Jackie and Blaze together with their wonderful connection in chemistry. These 2 have a really good 1st date from the auction. Blaze knows that Jackie is the woman for him but Jackie decides to run but she won't get far with blaze chasing her. I really enjoyed this book and this series and I can't wait to see what else we get from Kate.

I've read a lot of books written by Kate Tilney; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is part of the Curvy Girls’ Bachelor Auction Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Jackie & Blaze; she won the date with the firefighter and thinks they saved the best for last but the date isn’t nothing like she expected.

She’s always had a thing for firefighters, so she wins him at the charity auction. He takes her on a date at the fire station. He’s a bit hard on himself for the responsibilities at work, he falls for her quickly, but thinks she’ll find him too boring. She on the other hand feels not worth enough since he’s great in her eyes. This is a great read, I wholeheartedly recommend. She helps him find the fun side and he lifts her up as well.

Jackie has a trust fund and feels that she's not doing enough with it, she bids at a batchelor auction for Blaze, she doesn't want the whole dinner and dance thing but settles for dinner at the fire station. The sparks fly between them.

A great short read, the latest in the series of the bachelor auction dates. Blaze is a firefighter, who Jackie bids for with a memory of a firefighter from her past. Will the date be all she hopes it will be? I liked how it is told from both of their points of view.

A trust fund baby hopes to fulfill her fantasy by bidding on a firefighter at a charity auction. Despite instant attraction feelings interfere with their relationship. Great storyline and wonderful characters.

This was a cute grumpy sunshine romance. I liked the story but I didn’t feel like the chemistry between Jackie and Blaze was that strong. As characters I liked them both but I just didn’t necessarily feel the connection between them. But it was a well written story and I did like it.

Jackie is at the bachelor auction to help raise money for local communities. She bids on Blaze a firefighter and gets more than what she expected. Blaze is humble and tea he's her to be humble as they are on their date and afterward when she falls for him. Great addition to the series.

Jackie has always used some of her wealth to help other people, but she hopes that her bid on firefighter Blaze at a charity auction will help her find someone special. Her date doesn't go the way she planned but it did show her a side of firefighting she hadn't even thought of.

Great stand alone novella but an even better follow up read to the other books in the series. From them we know that Jackie is this outspoken loving person that wants only the best for those around her. A great match for our heroic firefighter blaze.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Opposites attract when Blaze and Jackie go on their auction date. I liked how they first meet in person. When Jackie runs, I really liked how Blaze goes after her and convinces her that she's the one for him.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

Jackie has always admired Firefighters so when she gets a chance to bid on a sexy fireman. Blaze is immediately attracted to the beauty who won a date with him. Their chemistry is sizzling and I really liked both Blaze and Jackie. Good Story.

This fun and flirty little story with a grumpy firefighter, Blaze, and a sunshine Jackie, ends up with a bit of emotional and deep feelings as Jackie realizes a truth about herself. I like this cute story in this good series about the bachelor auction. The writing is nicely done.
