Bidding for the Bachelor: A Steamy Roommates to Lovers MM Rom-Com | Jackie Lau
1 post | 1 read
Meet Cedric Fong... I don’t need a date. I need to focus on finding a new apartment and finally writing another novel. But as the last single Fong brother, I’m expected to participate in a bachelor auction to benefit my family’s charity. When there’s a frenzied bidding war, Brian Poon, my younger brother’s ex-best friend, puts an end to the chaos by bidding an eye-watering amount for a Valentine’s date with me. Brian used to be a notorious partier, but his life isn’t as wild now that his father has cut him off. We have a good time eating and drinking together, and when he finds out about my apartment situation, he offers me his spare room. Once I move in, Brian surprises me by baking me cookies and making it his mission to get me writing again. Soon, I’m working on a new book and getting closer to my roommate, a man who has never had a relationship and is all about casual sex—the opposite of me. He also used to be in love with my brother. I wonder if he still is… Jackie Lau writes soft and steamy romances with Asian characters, all set in Canada.

I'm willing to give most stories with an ace character a chance, so despite a bunch of other tropes I don't much like, I picked this up.

My favorite character was the grandmother, and I really want to read the mystery series Cedric wrote.

But I really don't much care of stories with super rich characters and I really disliked Cedric's brother and the way he treated Vince. so the whole thing was a bit of a wash for me.
