Cody Matthews has returned to Marietta, Montana searching for his next steps in life. For the time being he is helping his Uncle on his ranch while he desperately tries to stay away from Hayley, who has just returned to Marietta and asks for his help. Hayley is a Hollywood Oscar winner who comes back to Marietta to deal with the death of her grandmother. While in town, she is being targeted and asks her high school love to keep her safe. Cody initially refuses to help her, trying to stay away from the memories she brings with her of their last time together, back in his Uncle’s barn in high school. During a bachelor auction to raise funds for a rooftop helipad for the local hospital, Hayley bids $10,000 for a weekend with Cody. They both quickly realize the sparks are still there all these years later. This was a romantic, enjoyable quick read. Hayley and Cody are a cute couple and you knew instantly they belonged together. I love the little plot twist regarding who really is stalking Hayley. I enjoyed this book and look forward to book #2 in the series.

I was so excited to see the return of Bachelor Auction to Marietta, Montana. Our first bachelor, is exmarine, Cody and his high school sweetheart, Hayley. Hayley left Marietta to become a movie star, she has now returned home and feels her life is threatened. She wins the bid on Cody, so now he can be her bodyguard. Will the sparks still be there between them? A fun sexy read with a bit of a mystery, that I highly recommend. Looking forward to the rest of the Bachelor books!

I'm so glad we get to have another bachelor auction in Marietta. This was a nice story. Hayley and Cody had a past, but she took off quickly and became a rising star in Hollywood. Cody moved on as well, but they couldn't forget each other. Hayley is back in town to handle some personal matters and her grandmother's house, and her friend drags her to the bachelor auction. She decides to buy Cody to try to force him to spend time with her since he blew her off earlier. Hayley and Cody were cute together. It was fun seeing some other Marietta residents that we hadn't really gotten to know before. This was a nice quick read.
