Weekend With Her Bachelor by Jeannie Moon is the fourth book in the Bachelor Auction Returns. It is a sweet story that focuses on a best friends to lovers relationship. Or is it a second chance relationship. Maybe it’s both. Dr. Gavin Clark joins his high school football teammates in an auction to raise money for the construction of a helipad at the hospital in Marietta. This was in response of the death of their coach’s grandson who was in an automobile accident and flown to Bozeman. As the attending physician at his arrival in Bozeman, Gavin believed that he might have lived if he was transported to the Marietta hospital instead. He’s all in until he realized his former high school crush and best friend, Ally Beaumont, is in the bidding crowd. Ally Beaumont left Marietta to start her own event planning company in Seattle. She is in the middle of planning a destination wedding for a friend which will be held at a luxury ranch resort outside of Marietta. After hearing about the auction, Ally sells the engagement ring she kept after her ex-fiancé broke off their engagement shortly before the wedding. It gives Ally enough money to be the winning bid on Gavin. Ally wants Gavin to be her date at this wedding, especially since her ex-fiancé is the best man. Their date takes them to a romantic cabin/tent at the resort. While in those close quarters, in a magical location, Gavin and Ally discover how much they missed each other over the years, as well as missed out while being apart. These two need to figure out whether or not their chemistry and history is enough for them to take a chance on a forever relationship. This was a fun and entertaining story with likeable characters that you want to support and cheer on hoping for that happy ending. The characters were well written and complex. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down because Jeannie Moon is a wonderful story teller. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

"Weekend with Her Bachelor" by Jeannie Moon is book four in the "Bachelor Auction Returns" series. This can be read as a stand alone, but you get to know more about the town and people of Marietta. I have enjoyed this series and love the town of Marietta. I love Jeannie Moon's style of writing and is one of my favorite authors. This is Gavin Clark and Ally Beaumont's story. Gavin and Ally were best friends in high school. They had a crush on each other but misunderstandings caused them to go their separate ways. Gavin is now an emergency room doctor in Bozeman. He has agreed to be a bachelor for the auction to raise money for a helipad at the Marietta hospital. Gavin is only doing this for his former football coach. His coach's grandson died from a football injury and might have been saved if Marietta's hospital was equipped with a helipad. In fact, Gavin was the attending physician on call when a coach's grandson was flown into the Bozeman hospital. Ally has her own event planning company in Seattle. She finds out that at a wedding she is planning her ex fiancé will be part of the wedding party. Her ex will be bringing his girlfriend, the one that he cheated on her with. Ally finds out about the auction and decides that she might bid on Gavin. She does want a date for this weekend wedding so she doesn't have to face her ex alone. This could be a win win for everybody. Ally can try to repair her friendship with Gavin, contribute to a worthy charity, and have a date for the weekend wedding. What could possible go wrong? This is a great story about second chance romance, friends to lovers, steamy scenes, misunderstandings, friendships, and family are all woven into this wonderful story. Another winner for Jeannie Moon. She gets your attention right away and keeps it thorough out the book. I received a copy of this book from Tule Publishing for an honest review. FYI, contains mature content.

LOVED this! Being the second chance sucker I am, this one was right up my alley! The writing, the characters, the pace...all of it was spot on. Gavin Clark is more than a little shocked. First not only is Ally Beaumont in Marietta but she just bid a ton of money on him. Considering how things ended with them years ago he can't believe she would do this to him. Ally's desperate though she finds herself in the unenviable position of being the wedding planner for her ex fiance's wedding and she doesn't want to show up solo. What better way to get one, bid on Gavin in the auction for a good cause and get her date at the same time. Soon old feelings are starting to resurface though and dealing with the past has to be done. This is one you definitely want to read. I highly recommend it.
