I snuck into a charity ball and accidentally got myself auctioned off to Hollywood’s sexiest, most eligible bachelor.This is going to be VERY hard to explain to my evil stepmother.I escaped my monotonous life for one enchanted evening.I even danced with a prince. Tommy Prince, America’s most lusted-after movie star.He must have liked me because he decided to cut a one-hundred thousand dollar … cut a one-hundred thousand dollar check to the Humpback Whale Conservation Fund to take me out on a date.
But it’s only a matter of time before this fantasy shatters.
I’m not the typical Hollywood arm-candy.
I’m an awkward, nerdy virgin working a dead-end job, while he’s the hottest actor in the world.
His rugged good looks, alpha attitude, and dogged pursuit of me is making him impossible to resist.
But my fame-hungry stepmother has her own plans for Tommy, namely my shallow, beauty queen stepsisters.
When I’m safe in his strong arms I can imagine a happily ever after for us, but my life has been no fairy tale so far.
I might have to give Tommy up to keep my crazy step-family from destroying us both…
‘Auctioned to the A-Lister’ is a sweet and sexy romcom featuring a brilliant, alpha Hollywood hero and a nerdy, plucky girl next door on a crazy road to happily ever after. It stands alone with no cheating, cliffhangers, or nonsense.

I am so getting a kick out of this series by Ms. Holloway…her own fresh twist on classic fairytales.
This is her clever take on “Cinderella” with Cindy and Tommy being the main characters in this story.
Holy crow! Cindy’s family is like the Jerry Springer version of the Kardashians! The evils of her step-family knows no bounds and I was cheering hard when Cindy finally stood up to them! She thinks that she is destined for mediocracy and a chance meeting with Tommy Prince brings a light into her world.
Tommy Prince…the golden boy of Hollywood. Is that what he really wants? Or is there something more, something deeper that he really needs? The mechanics and the Hollywood machine has been his fate since he started acting and it takes meeting Cindy to realize what is really important in the world!
I loved the little hints and set up for the next story in this series! I have a feeling Derek is in for a wild ride!
She’s Being “Auctioned to the A-Lister” & Turn’n EveryThing Topsy Turvy…
Her LIFE is dismal at BEST,
As She’s Always Work’n & Slav’n Away for Her Step-Mother!
Which wouldn’t be too BAD, if She was at least Grateful…
But She’s A mean, Spiteful Lady,
Who’s Always dragging Her down, Down, DOWN… In Every way possible!
Thus, when a customer She’s actually managed to BeFriend,
Offers Her a once in a LifeTime opportunity to get Away for a NIGHT,
She decides to just Jump & GO… To actually LIVE a Li’l for once!
But She NEVER ExXxpected to RUN into HIM…
And find HerSelf on Stage being “Auctioned to the A-Lister!”
Nor did She ExXxpect Him to WIN Her bid…
or the Havoc being “Auctioned to the A-Lister” would bring!
Cuz like a Pebble rippling through a pond…
Being “Auctioned to the A-Lister” is Changing Every aspect of the once placid Surface of Her existence!

Collateral victims of reality show
Excellent story that depicts the romance of Cindy who suffered her in-laws and who meets and loves Tommy, a movie star.
It is not so much their romance that is amazing, but the context around Cindy, with a family eager for starification, glitter, who does not hesitate to try to manipulate them, through a trash reality show that destroys their lives without their participation.
The story is very well written, with excellent characters, whether they are good or evil ones.

In this updated version of Cinderalla, Cindy sneaks off to a fancy foundation dinner in a borrowed ballgown, from the drycleaning store she tirelessly works at for her evil stepmother and stepsisters.
There she meets a Prince. Tommy Prince, an A-list actor who is up for an academy award and who is tired of the “plastic ” people around him. There winds up being a date aution at the event and Tommy bids on Cindy because she is like a breath of fresh air.
After their date, Cindy figures her family is too toxic for the likes of Tommy and dissapears from his life. He looks for her at the cleaning store and her fame hungry famly try to latch on even the smallest connection to him.
While things spiral out of control in Cindy’s family, Tommy and Cindy try to have some sort of relationship. The madness seems to follow them. Choices need to be made.
Can the two of them survive the circus like atmosphere? Is this just a passing fancy or is it really love? Can Cindy sever her ties with her family?
There are a lot of choices and questions that need to be answered in this book that is somtimes sexy, very witty and leaves you satisfied at the end.
This book was so adorable. I loved the classic spin of Cinderella into a Hollywood romance. I loved watching Cindy realize what she wants from life and how to get it even with people trying to pull her down. Cindy handled everything so gracefully and made the perfect Cinderella of this story. Tommy brought the best out of Cindy and she did the same for him. I loved seeing the characters from the other books in this series and I cannot wait for the next book!
Loved the retelling of Cinderella. I I will definitely be checking out other books by this author.
This book brought me in from the start Ford and Candace characters are written extremely well and they have a connection that was undeniable. The storyline flowed smoothly from beginning to the end. I had a great time with reading the book.

This is the second book I’ve read by Taylor Holloway and I’m loving them! I can’t get enough of her spin on the classic fairy tales we all read as children. This particular book is the updated, grown-up version on Cinderella. I loved the characters, Tony and Cindy, and the story is so well-written. Even though it is part of a series, this book can be read as a stand-alone. If u love happy endings and fairy tales, then this book is for u. Just make sure u have time to get lost in the story because it pulls u in and doesn’t let u go until u are finished the book!
This book was a re-tell of Cinderella. Cindy works at the family dry cleaner and is always getting the worst cleaning jobs. A very happy customer gave Cindy a ticket to a Gala. At the Gala she met Tommy Prince and was auctioned off to him for a date. Will Cindy’s family interfere, with their budding romance?

Cindy is always stuck in the dry cleaning business working for her step-family. When a customer that works in the business likes what she did on some costumes and offers her a free ticket to a gala Cindy is stunned. She goes for a rare evening out and almost spills wine on Tommy Prince a famous movie star. Tommy is drawn to Cindy even though he is there to find a socialite to marry like his family wants. Cindy offers to go on stage and be auctioned off never thinking that Tommy would bid for her. When he wins he tells her not to make plans for the next afternoon. They end up goin out and having an amazing time but when she tells him that she is what he thinks she is Tommy doesn’t care. He just really loves being with her. Then when she disappears and goes to the dry cleaners to track her down and her horrible step-family makes things messy. Will Tommy be able to claim Cindy for his own? Can they deal with her evil step-family?
This is a great story that will draw you in from the first chapter on. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

A cute modern day version of Cinderella. It’s a bit over the top but is meant to be that way. Tommy and Cindy have insta-lust/love after they dance and he bids on her at a charity auction. After their date they fall a little more. Drama involving her stepsisters and stepmother follows. It’s a quick, lighthearted read with a HEA.
This is a modern-day Cinderella story which is a refreshing and engaging read. Cindy accidentally finds herself auctioned off at a charity ball and meets Tommy who is a movie star. No spoilers: this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story which has undeniable chemistry and is a sweet read with added twists along the way. I was hooked and intrigued throughout, and I highly recommend this talented authors’ work for all.
Super cute retelling of the classic Cinderella story – in a modern (and believable) setting. Plenty of sweet, with just enough heat, as well as humor and irony to keep it entertaining. Worth the read, and HEA. I’m looking forward to the next story in the series!
I read the first book that goes with the Princes of Hollywood [book:Baby and the Beast|50199221] that was my first Taylor Holloway story and I enjoyed it. I have to be honest and say I did not notice this book went with it until I saw Sophia in the beginning. Duh me. But you don’t have to read the first book to enjoy Auctioned to the A-lister.
Auctioned to the A-Lister has a cinderella vibe to it. Cindy is such a sweet girl and is so mistreated by her stepfamily. When she is given a ticket to go to a charity ball she sneaks out and goes. This is where she meets Tommy Prince (haha get it?). Tommy is in the running for an Oscar this year and needs to be a good boy, and falling in love with a nobody with a horrible family is not a good thing. Cindy wants nothing more than to have Tommy in her life, but she will not be the one that is used to hurt him.
Will these two be able to find the love they both want? I loved reading this story. I am excited to see what is next. Hopefully Tommy’s brother?!
This is a complete Cinderella story if I ever read one. But it’s not your average one. This has a whole new take on it. Taylor sure does know how to twist a good Disney movie to complete her own take on each story. Tommy Prince and Cindy Brown are perfect for each other. He’s Hollywood’s rising star, and Cindy isn’t anyone special, maybe to Tommy once he gets a taste of her at the auction. Two different people from two different worlds shouldn’t be perfect together in this fantasy story, but they are. Taylor draws you in perfectly, and even though Cindy’s family is totally out there and hates her, she doesn’t care. She cares about Tommy and what they might do to him. I loved it. It was perfect.
The characters are interesting and the modern Cinderella story was cute. I hated how poorly things went for these two during the story, but I’m glad they got their HEA. And the way the ending went was epic!

I have read the previous books about the Prince family and I honestly battled to get into this story. It’s a sweet retelling of Cinderella where the laundry girl we met in a previous book gets her own story, Cindy has two stepsisters who want to be famous and a terrible stepmother who will do anything for the brats. Cindy meets Tommy Prince at a ball and he wins her in an auction. They slowly get to know each other and have all sorts of drama and interference in their new relationship which tears them apart. There is plenty of drama, a sweet romance, likable characters, some boneheaded decisions. The story does pick up pace and I got into the story and was rooting for the normal girl to get her man.
