OMG! Did I just bid and win a date with Shane Rempel for over one thousand dollars?!What the hell was I thinking? Was I not the one who just said I would never spend that kind of money for a date with a stranger?!Apparently, all sane thoughts just flew right out the moment HE walked up on that stage at the auction.I was hooked line, sinker and all.And let me tell you, if you spend that much money … all.
And let me tell you, if you spend that much money for a date, you definitely go on that date. So, I went.
And guess what? It kind of ended with me starting a war with the guy on the said date. And I even did a walkout.
Yeps and after that disastrous first meeting, you definitely do not expect the guy to turn up at your workplace asking for another date!
But he did. And guess what I did…
This is the second book in the steamy romance series, Rules of Love and can be read as a stand alone.
No cheating. No cliff-hanger. And the kind of ending you will just love. Team HEA all the way!!

I really liked the story.
The characters were well developed, and their experiences shaped their views on love and life.
I would definitely recommend this book.

Shane and Rayvn are two wounded hearts who are brought together via a love auction..Wow, there was something special about him that made her bid a thousand dollars for a date. Plenty of drama, angst and lots of suspense to keep you guessing. Well defined characters and an engaging storyline. I read a reader copy via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review. An HEA and no cliffhanger.
A fast paced story , I read it in one sit, that have a little of everything. It have spice and sweetness and all in between.

What starts out as a light-hearted story, becomes an epic, deep, heartwarming tale. Better have tissues nearby when you read this one.
You may think that because of the pasts of Rayvn and Shane, they are doomed. And they would be in another story… but not this one. Before you know it, you are deeply sucked in to their relationship. You cannot believe that the past holds such a grip on these two that they can ever overcome them.
You are so pulled into the book, that when end comes, you have felt every emotion of Rayvn and Shane. Haven’t read a book in quite a long time where the end is so satisfying.

It’s been 2 years since Ravyn thought her life was over. Her friends and her are invited to a date auction for charity. When the final guy is up Ravyn can’t help herself and ends up with the final bid. Shane didn’t want to be there. He’s only doing it for his best friend. Watching his mom being hurt by his dad growing up, he doesn’t believe in love. Can two people find that think everything will end eventually find true love. This is a well written book with great characters. Ravyn is sweet and Shane is a jerk to everyone but deep down he’s a sensitive nice guy. I recommend this book.

Love Auction by Author Lindsey Hart was the second book in the Rules of Love series. This one was Shane and Ravyn’s story. (Shane was introduced in book 1). Rayvn is an antique dealer/refinisher…and Shane is a landscaper. One of Rayvn’s customers, Nina, happens to be Shane’s best friend (but she is married to his brother). She is setting up a date auction where she has talked Shane into being one of the “goods” and Rayvn and her friends attend. When Shane and Ravyn’s eyes meet at the auction she can’t look away…
I enjoyed this book, however, I personally didn’t feel much of a connection with the main characters. I thought Shane was an ass (so did Rayvn after their first date!) and Rayvn had been through so much already, so why put herself through his crap? Overall, the storyline was good. I love the character description by the author, the banter, the sex scenes, and the history each of them went through…but there was just something missing for me. I loved the auction scene, the way the characters in the book were tied into each other, and there were several parts of the book I really enjoyed and that is why I give it 3.5 stars. I do still recommend reading it, and do like Lindsey Hart’s writing!
A great second book in this series. Rayvn who co-owns a antique store with her best friends Laney and Charlotte decide to go to a charity date auction. When she sees Shane she’s driven to win a date with him. On their date Shane takes her to the park for a picnic but some kids throw a wayward frisbee at them and Shane starts talking how he doesn’t believe in love, marriage and kids. This is a red flag for Rayvn since she dreams of having kids someday so she walks out of the date. Shane who can’t stop thinking about Rayvn finds her and apologizes for his behavior, then he asks her for another date. Does Rayvn give Shane a second chance? This is about two people who been hurt in their past that made a impact on them and how they overcome it together toward their future. I love that this book had the first characters intersperse in this book which I enjoyed reading and reviewing. I enjoyed this book better than the first because it tug on the heartstring more. ARC
I love this story, not only because it was base in Houston, my home, but also because it dealt with something so real, a stillborn. A woman’s worst nightmare is to deliver a dead baby along with any miscarriage, as it leaves the question what could have I done differently. The characters were great, Shane is a guy who at a young age saw how his mother suffered when dad left, so he chooses to never commit to anyone in order to avoid that until he meets Rayvn. Rayvn is starting a new life after her divorce to whom she thought would be forever, but after the delivery of her stillborn child, she realizes that the man in her life was not what she thought. The story starts with Rayvn and her friends invited to an auction for a good cause where she bids for a date with Shane, although the attraction is there, she walks out on their date due to Shane’s outburst. What could Shane have said to get her to get up and go?
The story is great and has a HEA to it, but it does reference a couple a characters from a previous book, Love Contract, which I am planning to read next. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Loved the dynamic between Shane & Rayvn from the moment of the auction. Especially this is not a billionaire tale. Makes each person seem like regular people. Each have their own problems from their past that they must overcome. I like the way that lives may issues on both sides and how each must come to terms with each other’s, even though it takes a split to come to terms with that. Both are very emotional people. Shane has a good sense of humor as it turns out to try to win Rayvn back..

Shane was always a love and leave them kind of guy. His best friend Nina and now sister- in-law since grade school talked him in to being auctioned off for charity. Nina also gave a fly to Rayvan who owns a antique shop. Rayvan has been thru a divorce and loss of a child, but when she seen Shane on the auction block she for some reason just bid. The first date was bad. Can he get a second with her? Will Rayvan go out with him again? Why is she having these feelings for someone that is such a butt?

You have got to read this book. Exceptional story.
This story really took me on an emotional roller coaster ride, but it was well worth it! The plot was well developed, the characters were strong, with sufficient background to be able to relate to them. I was pleasantly surprised to only find a few typos, and one error when Shane ordered more than one round of beer with the fish and chips, but was later said to have had only one pint, thus making it acceptable for him to drive Ravyn home. That is the only reason for my 4 1/2 stars. Can’t wait to read the next installment!

I really enjoyed this fun read. Offering an enjoyable blend of humor, cuteness, sweetness and sass; the storyline grabs and hold your attention. The banter and chemistry was quick, witty and steamy. I liked Ravyn pretty much from the get-go. However Shane had to grow on me a bit as he started off as a bit of a jerk. They both had their issues but they fit so well together and by the end I loved them both. I very much enjoyed this entertaining romance.
I loved reading this book. Rayvn bids on and wins a date with Shane at a charity auction. The date does not go well, and Shane continues his pursuit of Ravyn.

I just couldn’t do it. Shane was too much of a jerk to even envision him as an H. Nice concept, but just not feeling it.

Rayvan and Shane’s first date go horrifically wrong. They are both reeling from past hurts and have perceived expectations about what future relationships will look like. The author provides background knowledge to those who did not read Love Contract to be able to connect the characters, which is awesome, without taking anything away from the other book. This is a story filled with lots of witty conversations between the characters. There is is also deep and meaningful conversations about, love, loss, friendship and relationships. It is a great read with a plot that flows well and has a neat and satisfying end.

One impulsive bid leads Rayvn and Shane on an adventure they weren’t expecting. Rayvn is two years old of a divorce and ready to find love again. With her friends in tow, she heads to a date auction for a good cause. There, she locks eyes with the hunk Shane, bids and win. On their date, Shane makes it well known he’s the screw and leave, no relationship kind of guy, much to her disappointment. Exiting the date abruptly leave Shane unsettled. Therefore, he sets out to make it right. Can their differences end in happily every after?
I really liked the story. I felt the characters were well developed and their experiences shaped their views on love and life. There were a few errors that need fixing, but it doesn’t take away from the story as you can figure out the correct word needed. I would definitely recommend this book.

This story evolves around Shane who we met in the last book. He was talked into participating in an auction for charity by his best friend Nina. Raven who deals in antiques ends up bidding on him and wins. Their story unfolds from there. They both are scared about different things in their relationship. I really enjoyed this book. It was romantic made me cry sometimes and had some hot romance. Definitely one to read.

I enjoyed the story of Shane and Ravyn, both scared to jump feet first into a relationship. Both with a past that would make anyone hesitate to be involved. Their chemistry is amazing but they need to get past the walls they each have in place to protect themselves.

Love Auction was even better than I imagined it could be (and I’ve got one hell of an imagination). Mrs. Lindsey Hart is an Author that is semi new to me as I have only read a few of her publications. Now, however, I am kicking myself because I just could not put this book down. I truly enjoyed everything about this release. The banter, chemistry and the overall storyline were terrifically crafted. The characters; Shane and Ravyn are perfect together. Even though this is fiction, you can envision, with ease, the scenarios they both find themselves in. There is so much chemistry between these two and I honestly feel that Love Auction was written exquisitely by Mrs. Hart. I can not wait to see what is next from her. One thing I am sure of is I am a new fan. If you enjoy a great romance, then by all means, snuggle up with a copy and get lost from cover to cover, as I did, all the way through to their guaranteed happily ever after.
I voluntarily requested an advanced reader’s copy of Love Auction in exchange for my honest opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as anything written by Mrs. Hart.
