About this ebook

Your date with Marietta local Beau Bennett includes a day on the slopes at Big Sky Resort, complete with a sumptuous meal in the Resort’s fanciest fine dining restaurant and door-to-door transport. Dig deep to secure the attentions of one of Montana’s most eligible - and elusive - bachelors.

Lily Taylor knows Beau Bennett dislikes her, but that won’t stop her from asking him to volunteer for the Bachelor Auction she’s organized to help her friend Molly provide for her tragically injured son, Josh. If Beau’s gorgeous face, piercing blue eyes and chiseled body inspires the women of Marietta to dig into their pockets for a good cause, then Lily will do whatever it takes to secure his participation. 

Beau Bennett isn’t sure how he wound up on the auction block being eyed up by hundreds of eager women, but he knows who to blame for it - Lily Taylor, the sexy, distracting, off-limits best friend of his kid sister. As far as he’s concerned, the sooner this nightmare is over, the better. 

The last thing either of them expects is for Lily to wind up bidding on - and winning - Beau, or that their date will lead to Beau stepping in to save Lily when her past comes back to haunt her. As Beau does his best to keep Lily safe, they discover that maybe they don’t dislike each other quite as much as they thought. 

In fact, maybe it’s just the opposite…

Ratings and reviews

Alot of fun. New author for me, but I'd definitely read more! Unfortunately this series is a collaboration, so I'll need to consider how much more I'll read, but enjoyed this one. Technical details: Dual POV, strong hero/strong heroine, open door intimacy, no glaring grammatical issues to take you out of the moment, HEA, and can easily be read standalone I think. Slight suspense angle, but it wasn't as big a part of the story as it can be.

Felt like it was missing some before the epilogue other than that and a few errors it was an awesome book just wish there had been a little more.

Loved the back and forth banter between Beau and Lily. Their hidden feelings coming to light through a traumatic experience. Just a great read! Couldn't put it down.
