The quote from Jett sums it up - "Flirting is fun. And fun is essential" This book has everything - well-developed hero and heroine, fun, humor, sweet, but also lots of chemistry. I really liked that Jett and Mardie were both direct and up front about their feelings and what they wanted from the relationship right from the beginning - a refreshing change from the common "angst and misunderstanding" theme in so many romance books. This book was hard to put down and I'll be looking for more from Kelly Hunter. ( )

Jett and Mardie crossed paths at one of the lowest points in her life. He was their when she had no one to rely on in her time of need. Jett never forgot Mardie and wished he could have done more to help her. When their paths cross again at a bachelor auction, Jett finds himself recruited to help now single mom Mardie get her run residence in order for her and her daughter. Despite Mardie better judgement she agrees to allow him to help her. This time Jett is not willing to allow anything or anyone to harm Mardie or her daughter. He will keep them safe and maybe gain the family he never knew he wanted. I received an ARC of What a Bachelor needs for an honest review. I found this story to be a cute, heartwarming read. ( )

Mardie's had a hard life, a unfulfilled career, a bad marriage, she seen it all. But now she's making a fresh start. She has a job to make ends meet and a not so new home for herself and her little girl. What she doesn't have is the money to get it fixed up. Enter Jett Casey, the golden boy of Marietta, who has been "bought" especially for her by her friend Emma. He has one week to fix up her home AND win her heart. But Mardie's afraid to let him in, because for one she doesn't trust men and two he knows her dirty little secret.

Free copy gifted in exchange for and honest review ( )

"5 out of 5 stars!! Mardie's life might not be grand, but it is her own and she's proud of what she has accomplished. However, when her friend purchases Jett for her as a handyman for a week from the local bachelor auction, Mardie freaks out a bit. It's not that Jett isn't nice, because he is. It's not that he can't help her, because her home can definitely use the work. It's just that Jett is the one man who she has had a longtime crush on, and is the man who saved her from that frightening night years ago. Now Mardie's scared to loose herself to the one man who could hurt her and possibly loose her heart too.

This fast-paced novel keeps its readers on their toes just as much as Jett keeps Mardie on hers. Fun, heartwarming, and intense it was entertaining from beginning to end."
