This was a beautiful story from start to finish. The story is about a rodeo guy who comes home after losing his sponsors from bad publicity. He comes home to try to salvage himself, and reinvent his reputation as well as hain new sponsors. In the meantime, he gets thrown into an auction of women bidding on men. No one wants to bid on him. Then as he goes to leave, he becomes startled by a woman's voice bidding and quickly resounding sold. It happens to be his best friend, Aaron's sister, Alyssa. From there, things get crazy for the both of them with their interactions, life, feelings, and more. Life becomes stressed, feelings get hurt, family come together, and secrets come out. It's such a great read. It's good as a holiday story, but as an anytime story too.
