I was gifted this book via netgalley in exchange for my honest thoughts and a review.

This is the first in a six part series and whether you read one book or all 6 each can be read as a stand alone.

Iv read a few Sarah Mayberry books and have always loved them she has a great style of romance to her, and i always enjoy her books.

Lily Taylor knows Beau Bennett dislikes her, but that dislike will not stop her from asking him to volunteer for the Bachelor Auction she’s organized to help her good friend Molly this auction is important as its to provide for Molly’s tragically injured son, Josh. Lily will stop at nothing to get who she wants for this auction and if Beau’s gorgeous as sin face, piercing jet blue eyes and a chiseled body inspires the women of Marietta to dig deep into their pockets for a good cause, then Lily will do it.

Beau Bennett is unsure at how he wound up on this auction block being eyed up by hundreds of very eager Marietta women, but he sure knows who is to blame for it….

Lily Taylor she is the sexy, very distracting and highly off limits best friend of his little sister. And as far as he’s concerned, the sooner this auction nightmare is over the better ……

But then something happens and its the last thing either of them expects that is for Lily to wind up bidding on him and winning him, he just cant believe it,

When the past comes back to haunt Lily she doesn’t expect Beau to be there to save her let alone help her.

It seems there dislike of each other is disappearing and love is forming before there very eyes.

I really enjoyed this book its sweet romantic and sexy i loved Lily shes a go-getter and i adored how Beau helped Lily stand up for herself the way he did.

well written and a very modern take on romance 🙂
