Another roll of the dice
Big news, fair readers!
Bayside High's favorite It Girl is back. Would you have bet Clarissa Blackwell
would ever return? Ten years ago, she crushed Jasper Dumont's heart under her
Jimmy Choos and left town for a bigger, better life. Her return raises one
question: What is she running from (or is it to) now?
Perhaps Jasper knows? One
look at Carissa and he fell in the bay! (Rich, single and devastatingly
handsome, Jasper's our catch of the day.) That icy plunge should have brought
him to his senses, yet "Casper" has been spotted together all over
town. Does this mean Bayside's legendary couple may reunite? The stakes are
high, but the Bayside Blogger's money is riding on love!

Can you ever go home again, after declaring that you would never set foot in that town again? Well Carissa Blackwell did her her marriage imploded, she had to face the man who she hurt badly, and that's what she dreaded the most...facing Jasper Dumont.
When Jasper Dumont saw the women that broke his heart, he quite literally fell over....into the bay. But Jasper is a good guy, and manages to help her get settled into town again. But will he be able to stop himself from falling in love with the women who crushed his heart.
I really love this Bayside blogger series, I really enjoyed to play between Jasper and Carissa's character's, and the Bloggers snarky comments! It's a great light hearted read, that help me get over the flu, and made me laugh, even when it hurt too!
I give Bidding on the Bachelor 4 stars!

“I’m back in town.”
“For how long?” he asked quickly, too quickly. In fact, if she
wasn’t mistaken, anger laced his question. She must have reacted to it because
his features softened. “Sorry, it’s none of my business. And I do remember that
today is your birthday. So, happy birthday, Carissa.”
“Thanks,” she said, and meant it. She decided to offer an olive
branch because the truth was that she’d dumped him and she hadn’t been kind
about it. This icy reception she was receiving was well deserved. While she
knew the reasons behind her decision, she’d never let Jasper in on it. She’d
been a bratty, selfish teenager, not capable of understanding her emotions.
Unwilling to admit that Jasper had always reminded her of her father and that
summer her dad had dropped a bombshell on her.
“I don’t know how long I’ll be in town. I’m sort of in a
transition period right now.” He waited patiently. After another long drink of
beer, she finished. “I just got divorced.” Saying the words out loud left an
awful taste in her mouth. An acidic aftertaste of yuckiness.
First, shock flashed on his face. Then, true concern shone in his
eyes. “I’m sorry,” he said.
And that might have been her undoing. Because he had every reason
to be stiff and awkward with her. Instead, any kind of compassion from him loosened
her lips.
“Today is my twenty-ninth birthday. I’m having a beer next to my
ex-boyfriend, who hates my guts, in a dive bar in the town I swore I would
never step foot in again. An ex-boyfriend I should really apologize to because
I was an evil witch to him.” The words were flying now. She gripped her hand
tightly around her glass. “I’m not even thirty and already I’ve been married
and divorced. And I got divorced because he freaking cheated on me.”
She couldn’t miss the way Jasper’s eyes narrowed, his hands curled
into fists, and there was a definite tic in his clenched jaw. “He cheated on
you?”
“Yep. Apparently, the fact that I was homecoming queen, prom queen
and head cheerleader did nothing to impress him. Or keep his pants zipped up
when anyone wearing a skirt in the Central Time Zone walked by. That probably
makes your whole day, doesn’t it?”
He slammed his hand on the bar and she jumped. But she just as
quickly composed herself. “What? You have every right to revel in my misery
after the way I broke up with you. I got divorced. You win.”
His eyes narrowed. “I don’t want to win at that game. And I
certainly don’t want to hear that some idiot cheated on you. I’m sorry you’re
getting divorced.”
“That makes one of us.”

This just in, fair readers! Chic and stunning,
that gorgeous new woman about town is none other than our very own little
Ellie--now Elle--Owens. She's a far cry from the frumpy, bookish student we
used to know, but then, living in Italy will do that to a girl! Still, this
blogger can't forget the infamous video that caused her to leave!
Apparently Miss Elle has been spotted with
yummy contractor Cam Dumont...but we thought her heart belonged to his little
brother. Are Cam and Elle a new couple? They were seen cooling their passions in
the bay...in April! If this is love, let's hope she's swimming with the right
brother. The Bayside Blogger will keep you posted.
