Foreign correspondent Roman Chandler has always prized his freedom above all else. Now losing a coin toss has sealed this youngest brother's fate. Finding someone to escort down the aisle is the easy part-every wannabe bride in sleepy Yorkshire Falls is itching to get hitched to this gorgeous, globe-trotting Chandler man. But Roman still lusts after the woman who got away. Stunning heartbreaker Charlotte Bronson has come home to put down roots and get her erotic lingerie business off the ground. She wants a man that won't go chasing off to the far corners of the earth for a breaking news story. He wants her to say "I do."

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The small town of Yorkshire Falls and its colorful inhabitants including a mysterious panty-raider and a fun-loving but devious mother are a sturdy stage for Phillips's (Erotic Invitation) romantic romp. After news of his mother's weak heart summons him home, globetrotting journalist Roman Chandler loses a coin toss with his brothers that determines who will relinquish his bachelor status to give their mother a grandchild. Roman decides to "settle down" without giving up his travel-intensive job, and as one of the most handsome men in town, he can have his pick of the local women except for Charlotte Bronson, his high school crush. Thoughts of her parents' miserable long-distance marriage keep Charlotte from accepting Roman's proposal, despite the sexual sparks that fly at their every encounter. Mutual attraction eventually proves too powerful to resist, however, but first Roman must win her trust. Though Phillips gives sensual friction and emotional introspection equal attention, the emotional chemistry between Roman and Charlotte merely simmers while the sexual chemistry explodes. The first in a Chandler brothers trilogy, this entry will encourage readers who enjoy dining on passion to pick up the next book, but those who prefer more emotionally bonded characters may chose a different course.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I had looked forward to reading this book but could not finish it once I started. It was very slow moving and lacked spark. It's going to Goodwill.
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Bachelor By Carly Phillips is the first of the Chandler Brothers Trilogy. This is one of the first contemporary novels I've read (I'm more of a historical romance person). This was a fun read. Nothing earth-shattering or profound. It's a cute story about a mother and her three grown sons. Mom wants all three sons to get married, settle down, and give her grandchildren. However, she has to feign an illness just to get the ball rolling with her three sons who have no interest in getting married at all. "The Bachelor" starts with the youngest named Roman. The second is, "The Playboy" the middle son, Rick, and ends with "The Heartbreaker" the oldest son, Chase. I am currently reading "The Playboy". So far so good. In conclusion, "The Bachelor" is a four stars. Only because there are some parts in the story that makes you want to roll your eyes...haa! haa!

If you are looking for a light, humorous romance, this book is perfect. The book focuses on the Chandler Boys (mainly Roman Chandler) and their desperate mother, Raina. Raina claims she has a weak heart in order to get her sons married with children. All three brothers are confirmed bachelors and are reluctant to get married. Roman is the youngest brother and by the loss of a coin toss is propelled to be the first to settle down. Which also means he may have to give up his job as a foreign correspondent. Then Charlotte, the love of Roman's life who got away, enters the picture...
This story is somewhat predictable but very whimsical. Reading this story left me wanting more, so I moved on to The Playboy and then The Heartbreaker.

Awful!
I too didn't bother to finish it - It was just plain bad. Try a Jennifer Cruise instead - lot's of laughs and very sexy.

Abysmal
The cover makes you think you're buying a romantic comedy, but nothing could be further from the truth. It couldn't even make a hyena laugh. This book was boring and stupid. Read more
