Molly Embers is desperate. She wants to raise money for the local school and library with a bachelor auction, but there is only one problem, no one wants to buy the eligible men available. She knows there is one man who all the women want, Nate Sinclair.

Nate does not want to be sold on any kind of date, but for Molly, he will make an exception. He'll be on the cutting block, providing she agrees to date him.

It’s one date, how could anything possibly go wrong?

Molly's had some horrible dates, but the one with Nate it was mortifying. He knows her secret, and now, he knows that she's also a virgin.

Nate intends to play out every single one of her fantasies. But, his reputation is not a good one. Will Molly be able to believe him when another woman tries to make a play for him?

 

Excerpt:

“Hi,” she said. “If you’re having second thoughts, I don’t mind. We can just say this deal was silly and childish and neither of us has to continue.”
He smiled. “I was going to tell you that you look beautiful.”
“Oh.” She glanced down at herself, and he saw, even through the thin layer of makeup she wore, that she was indeed blushing. “Thank you. You look … handsome.”
And the blush deepened.
He held out the roses. “These are for you.”
The smile, if it was even possible, grew bigger. “Uh, wow, thank you so much. Would you give me a minute so I can put these in some water?” she asked.
He nodded and stayed at her door.
Within minutes she returned, pushing some of her hair out of her face. Tonight, she had let it down, and there were natural curls in the long brown length.
“Shall we?” he asked, holding out his arm for her to take. She looked dubious and he was tempted to promise her that she wouldn’t catch anything from touching him. They were not schoolchildren anymore.
“Of course. Where are we going?” she asked.
“Well, that is for me to know and for you to find out.” He winked at her, and he loved hearing her light laughter.
He’d spent most of the day setting up a small picnic in the park. Nate knew how much she loved to walk as it helped to clear her head—again, what he’d overheard in snippets of conversation with her.
“It’s a lovely night,” Molly said.
“Yes, it is. Did you manage to raise all the money you wanted?” he asked, knowing for a fact she had.
“Yes, you wouldn’t believe the struggle I had with that auction. The board was not happy with the prospect of women being put up for auction.” She blew out a breath. “They were totally fine with the men.” She let out a chuckle. “Thank you for … you know, helping me.”
“It was my pleasure.”
“Why didn’t you allow any of the other women to buy you?” she asked. “I mean, you must have spoken to Randy before the auction?”
“I spoke to him within minutes of making that deal with you. Randy was already hanging around.”
“Oh,” she said. “I had no idea. So, what was so awful about the idea of being sold to a woman willing to pay for you?”
“Would you like men bidding on you?”
“Men wouldn’t bid on me, but I guess I see your point.”
“You don’t think men would bid on you.”
She shrugged. “I’m not searching for compliments, I just know I’m not the kind of woman men seem to lust after. It’s just a fact.”
She was so very wrong, it wasn’t even funny.
Nate had always liked Molly. She had been out of his league, but he was done with all that bullshit. He hadn’t lived like a saint, but he’d decided he was done watching Molly from the sidelines. She was going to belong to him, and he knew he was going to have her.
“So, what is your reason?” she asked.
“Simple, I don’t want to be at the mercy of some of the women. You saw what they were like, and they think because they spent money it gives them a license. Not happening, besides, I already asked the woman out that I wanted to bid on me.”
Molly stopped and he looked at her. “You really wanted me to bid on you?” she asked.
“Yeah, which is why we’re on this date.” And then he took a chance, like many of the heroes within her books. They didn’t wait for permission, nor take their time getting to know their heroine. There were a couple of books that were different, but most of the men took what they wanted when they finally realized what that was.
He cupped her cheeks, pushing her hair out of the way, and tilting her head back so he could look her in the eyes. She had such pretty green eyes. He felt like he could fall into them.
Closing the distance between them, he pressed his lips to hers and kissed her, claiming the kiss he’d been wanting, and he relished the moan that escaped her lips.

A Feel-Good Romance!
Written by Krissy 4ie on 19th Nov 2024

This was a sweet little romance, and I adored the story from first to last page. Sam Crescent has a true gift in writing such stories and who isn't a sucker for a romance that is centred around the quiet girl everyone overlooks and the reformed bad boy who falls hard and fast and can't be deterred no matter how hard the ladies in their small town try to turn his head. This was cute without any dark elements and was just what this reader was looking for after reading some darker material of late - it really was perfect for lifting my mood! This story was like a warm hug, and I look forward to more of the same from this wonderful writer!

5/5
More!
Written by KMH on 19th Nov 2024

This book didn't go how I expected but it was so much better. I was scared he'd go on a date with someone else from the auction even though he wanted her but I loved the loophole he found and got to be with her. I also watching their relationship unfold and I loved how confident she became with him and about their relationship. I think the slight OW drama worked as it solidified her seeing his feelings for her and proved his worth to her and she also got to stand up for herself and her man at the end! I cannot wait for another book like this!

Molly and Nate
Written by MellaM on 19th Nov 2024

A date auction for a local charity gives Nate the excuse he needs to finally go after Molly. I really enjoyed this book, which at times bordered on romantic comedy, especially since one or the other ran away (literally) from each encounter. I loved how when one ran, the other chased and they ultimately realized they were a wonderful couple. Well written and hilarious, a great way to pass time.

Written by Brooke T on 19th Nov 2024

To Win A Rebel was an recouping and heartwarming book!!! I enjoyed the original storyline it was page-turning and had me laughing and swooning all through this book. The characters had an undeniable chemistry. Nate was broody, intense and knew what he wanted. Bethany is independent, witty and stubborn. This book is a contemporary romance with a little friendish to lovers and a whole lot of spice mixed in. Sam crescent is an amazing author and I love all her books!!!

The biker and the author
Written by Reader62 on 19th Nov 2024

It's a hard NO from Nate when Molly approached him. To be in the bachelor auction, even for a charity good cause, was not to his liking until he realises it can be used in his favour..in exchange, he demands a date with her. Things don't necessarily go as planned. Life has some very interesting things and learning secrets comes with both advantages and disadvantages. Can the rebel be tamed by the 'stick in the mud' mouse, or will he taint her clean, wholesome personality. Engaging story well written and great characters.

5/5
amazing read
Written by MaddieC on 19th Nov 2024

Molly is running a fundraiser for her school, but it includes selling bachelor's for one night as a date. In efforts to get Nate Sinclair on board she agrees to go on a date with him if he gets the highest bid. What she did not plan for was his best friend betting Nates own money on him so he could win. What started out as an ok date she nervously blurts that she is a virgin and runs from him after he admits he wants her. One other thing Molly did not know is that Nate also knew her secret of her being an erotic author. Nate knows one thing is that Molly is his and he will stop at nothing to make that happen.

He finally agrees to do it but on one condition, the next night she is all his. He pulls a fast one and he still gets the lady. He also surprises her by knowing her secret.

Great read
Written by Laura Ann on 19th Nov 2024

Nate Sinclair is a hot tattooed mechanic locally and Molly Embers tries to talk him into participating in an Auction to raise money for the school & library. She had gotten the majority of single men in town to sign up and a few women, but she really needed Nate because so many women had asked about him being there. So she makes a deal with him- he’ll go and do it, for a date with her the following night. This of course, makes her freak out mentally. I laughed a lot during this book and wanted to smack a few people a few times. Nate’s bestie, Randy, also works with him and he is married to Bethany and they have three children who Nate is sure possessed by demons. lol. To make sure he gets his way, Nate has a contingency plan and I was impressed as he has had the hots for Molly for quite some time, but always thought she was out of his league. So Nate pretty much chases Molly and knows her secret and she does like him too, but is afraid. I thought it was soooo cute and sweet. Nate is freaking hot and with Molly things got steamy and I had to put the AC on. lol. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Written by BeckyS68 on 19th Nov 2024

Another excellent book by one of my favorite authors, Sam Crescent. This book has lots of steam and spice and is the perfect HEA. Nate is the tattooed "bad boy" mechanic that Molly has secretly been pining over for a while. She doesn't know that Nate feels the same way about her. I love the plot and the building of the relationship between Nate and Molly. I especially loved how Nate defended Molly from the mean girl from Molly's past. This book will be saved in my Read Again folder! Excellent book!

Molly is in charge of getting single men to agree to be auctioned in order to raise money for the library and school. Nate is the town mechanic and all around single guy that all the ladies want (including Molly).

Molly needs to raise money for the school and library, she believes a bachelor auction will be what is needed to get the funds. She is sure there is one man who will bring in a lot of money, Nate Sinclair. Nate has been interested in Molly for months but she keeps giving him the cold shoulder. He agrees to be part of the auction on the condition that she will go on a date with him if he brings in the most money. I love how he manages to maneuver her in to going a date with him. What he does not realizes is the she has feelings for him but have been denying them. Once they start down the road, Molly is not giving up, even when Nate missteps.

I enjoy thi book, but everything was fine until Molly didn't give more value to herself, after 7 days of avoiding her calls after the smex and she seek him and everything was fine, like if nothing happened??? Hmmma little too dormant for me. Asking him not be sorry??? No no, a big set back for me, but besides that issue, it was really nice romance book.

short, sweet and hot
Written by laura.lovesreading on 19th Nov 2024

The FMC, Molly, is a spicy romance author, though nobody knows, who hasn’t experienced love herself. She has a major crush on the well known town bad boy mechanic Nate and often uses him as inspiration. What she doesn’t know is that the feelings are mutual. From there on begins a journey of ups and downs to a happy life full of love. I loved that the story shows that life is different as often in books described, but that’s makes it not less romantic or interesting. There was some OWD, but the MMC’s both handled that beautifully. I would have liked a bit more working through the drama, which Nate caused and I would have liked to see her immediate reaction to witnessing it, but the story was good as it is.

5/5
Fun and steamy
Written by LBing on 19th Nov 2024

This was a fun and lighthearted romance that lets Nate finally give it up on not feeling worthy of Molly, and for Molly to grab her chance at seeing what her crush on Nate will lead to. Things may have started off as a 'bet' to benefit the school, but the purpose behind agreeing gives Nate the chance to pursue Molly, full-steam. With fab chemistry, these two find they're perfect together. I loved the fact Nate was a huge fan of Molly's spicy writing and that gave him insight to be successful ;P Good fun!

Woeing his love
Written by Redfaeryrose on 19th Nov 2024

I really admired Nate. When he fell for her, she truly became his whole world, even if she didn’t realize it at first. He was the reason she struggled to connect with anyone else; she just had this special bond with him. His patience during their courtship was heartwarming, and he showed her that he was completely committed. He was determined to win her heart, and in the end, he did!

Opposites Attract
Written by Michelle E on 19th Nov 2024

In "To Win a Rebel," Sam Crescent weaves a delightful tale of desire and unexpected connections. Molly’s simple goal of raising funds for the library takes an exciting turn when she decides to organize a bachelor auction. However, her plans are complicated because every woman in town seems to be vying for the affection of Nate Sinclair, the town's irresistibly charming mechanic. Nate is not just a pretty face; he has a mischievous proposal of his own. On one condition, he agrees to participate in the auction: Molly must go on a date with him. What makes this arrangement even more tantalizing is Nate’s awareness of Molly’s secret life as an author of erotic fiction. The story beautifully captures the dynamic between a rugged, tattooed hero and the bookish, somewhat shy heroine who has long harbored feelings for him. Crescent excels at building chemistry between Molly and Nate. Their interactions are playful and steamy, and it’s heartwarming to see Nate eager to help Molly explore her fantasies while also claiming her heart. From the very beginning, Nate has had his eyes on Molly, and as she steps out of her comfort zone, readers are treated to an exhilarating journey of self-discovery and romance. If you enjoy stories that feature a hot guy falling for the girl next door, "To Win a Rebel" is sure to satisfy you. It’s a charming exploration of love, fantasy, and the courage it takes to embrace both.

Nice read
Written by Mamato4 on 19th Nov 2024

This was a cute book but I will state that it seemed a little bit tame for this author. She is trying to get him to participate in an auction however he doesn't want to so he makes a deal with her. The deal ends up kind of backfiring on her since how he rubs his friend into assisting him. It was a cute book and I did enjoy it. There is fairly low drama there is a little bit with a another woman but nothing due to the heroes actions. It's a nice calm read

it was simple doesn't have a lot of interaction. it simple read i read it in one sitting, seeing as you don't want to put it down. so the rebel was one sweet giant bear. loved her for a long time until he decided to go for it. i liked that the female was there to fight for what was hers and gives them both second chances. she didn't do the misunderstanding ish*, she trusted him all the way and in return even if he was scared to hurt her * spoiler---as she was a virgin ---- he was there with her although the way and after. i liked that there was no breaking up betrayal or misunderstand. they were matured enough to hear one another and move on. i really enjoyed it and i recommend it to other people of all ages above 18
