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…
4 STARS
As the first book of a series, Bound to the Bachelor has definitely made me decide to look forward to the other books of this series. Although it’s a short read, I didn’t really feel like it was too quick or too short. The romance was instantaneous, with fun and interesting major characters that immediately sparked a great potential of romance at the beginning of the book. The progress of the story was well-built. There was a tinge of drama, conflict, and a really satisfying ending.
Beau Bennett was the town’s ex-Marine, tough-guy ladies’ man. Everything about Beau screamed MALE. He was hard-working, goal-oriented, and tough but behind his intimidating facade was a soft man who cared. I really enjoyed Beau’s character and loved him throughout the book. He’s perfect for Lily.
Lily Taylor was a really strong and admirable heroine. Despite her unsettled dark past and a town gossiping about her past job, she held her head high and graced upon them with a tough heart and a warm smile. I really admire Lily’s driven, honest, yet sweet personality. Her quick wit and unexpected replies really had me. And apparently, it had Beau too.
The heat that simmered between Lily and Beau really scorched when they finally acted on it. The love scenes were really hot! But despite the much defined heat and romance of this story, there was depth in the characters that had me teary at some point. It’s a quick read but it contained every necessary aspect of an affective romance story—awesome character chemistry, drama, fun, and even a tinge of suspense. I must say that this is my favourite book of the series so far (I read the first three books before making the reviews). I’m yet to be persuaded by the other books but I know for sure that Beau will have a special part in my heart.
