Kelly Hunter | Top 5 Reasons to Fall for the Ski Champ Hero of WHAT A BACHELOR NEEDS

facebooktwitter
Hi, my name is Kelly Hunter and this is my first time at Fresh Fiction. Thank you so much for having me. A brief bio would include the facts that Iโ€™m an Aussie, a mother of boys, and a former scientist who used to grow screw-worm flies and their flesh-eating larvae for a living. Six million of them, every week. Letโ€™s not mention the smell. Are you still with me? I became an author instead, if that helpsโ€ฆ what a bachelor needs

My latest release is book four in Tule Publishing Groupโ€™s Montana Born Bachelor
series. One small town called Marietta. Six bachelors in various stages of
denial at being auctioned off like prize bulls, even if for a very good cause.
My guy is ski champ Jett Casey. Jett has an ego the size of an elephant and
doesnโ€™t mind being auctioned off at all. He ends up donating his handyman
services to single mom Mardie Griffin for a week.

And then sets about fixing everything in sight.

Top Five Reasons To Enjoy Jett Casey

#1. Heโ€™s easy on the eye

โ€œIโ€™m having handyman fantasies. Or maybe theyโ€™re Jett Casey
fantasies,โ€ said Mardie. โ€œEither way, Iโ€™m having them.โ€

โ€œVery healthy.โ€

โ€œHe was ripping up the carpet in the front room and all those muscles were
strainingโ€ฆand there was bendingโ€ฆ and rolling, and wanton sighing on my part.
Have you seen that manโ€™s butt?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve seen it. And you are right to be impressed.โ€
#2. He steps in when needed

He remembered trying to get her to stay awake and talk to him, staying awake
being the most important bit, and to this day he still remembered his silent
curses when she began to slip into the grey of not-quite-there.

He remembered moving in and letting her lean on him when sheโ€™d threatened to topple over, and sheโ€™d been a lightweight beneath her thick winter clothing. Barely present, in body or in spirit, and he remembered telling her all sorts of random information about his own life. How he had four brothers, all older, and how as a kid heโ€™d used to take off into the mountains, on whatever skis were handy, in order to escape all those brothers who were better, stronger, faster, and smarter than him. At everything.
#3. He knows what he wants
โ€œThis doesnโ€™t have to be a one-night stand, or a two-night stand, or whatever it is that youโ€™re thinking this is. Thereโ€™s more if you want it.โ€
#4. Heโ€™s good with his hands Oh, he is. Trust me on this. #5. Heโ€™s a fine role model

Jett smothered a grin by taking a huge mouthful of รฉclair. He regretted it
instantly, given that Miss Mimic over there in the high chair had immediately
decided that she too would stuff her mouth with more รฉclair than she could manage.

He chewed.

She chewed.

He kept his mouth closed, just.

Mardieโ€™s little girlโ€ฆtried.

Resolutely, Jett averted his gaze so that he didnโ€™t choke on his stupid smile and spoil everything. He swallowed hard. He tried not to notice a small copycat cherub.

About WHAT A BACHELOR NEEDS

Your date with ski champ Jett Casey is an either/or deal. Heโ€™ll take you off-piste for the ultimate Montana ski adventure or heโ€™ll put his handyman skills at your disposal for a week.

Single mom Mardie Griffin has a run-down old house in need of fixing and a
memory of Jett Casey as her savior in a time of great need. So when her friends
acquire Jettโ€™s services at a bachelor auction and send him to fix up her house,
she sets aside her mistrust of men and lets him in.

Elite athlete Jett Casey has the world at his feet and no desire for stability.
But thereโ€™s one woman heโ€™s never forgotten and if he can help make her safe this
time, maybe sheโ€™ll stop haunting him.

No strings, no sex, no commitment. Just fix things. Surely it canโ€™t be that
difficultโ€ฆ

I received an ARC of What A Bachelor Needs and I fell in
love with Jett Casey. I want more stories that include him
and all of his brothers. PLEASE!!!

I need to get this book on my TBR shelf.
(Kathleen O'Donnell 3:16pm March 11, 2015)

Thank you for the lovely comments, Denise, Stephanie and Kathleen. I started out with a hot handyman fantasy - I'm a big fan of those - and then decided that single mom Mardie deserved a whole lot more.

to enjoy Jett!! Now I have your book on my TBR list, to
read it this Spring, and the timing couldn't be better!!
