Where this story went so wrong for me though is the way that it was written. This story takes us on the journey with them as Lanie learns about her own sexuality and Noah lets her in even with the ghosts that haunt him from the past. While Lanie chose to do what she did, she still ‘hates’ Noah for buying her, and Noah kind of loves the idea that Lanie is a virgin (yup – forgot to mention that). True to the genre, his parents died tragically leaving their fortune to him, and well…we know that it of course means that he’s domineering, controlling and exudes power at every step.Īs the dynamic between these 2 begin, it’s based on very uneven ground. The very succession part owner of his parent’s multi-billion dollar company. WOW right? when she finally meets him, she finds that she’s quite lucky – he’s gorgeous. We then meet her mysterious buyer at this auction – a man who was sitting in the dark so that Lanie couldn’t even see what he looked like, and he then pays $2MM for her. oh well…all a book so that’s not what actually bothered me …yet It’s impressive that she’s done it, yet i don’t know if it’s realistic. We first meed Delaine (Lanie) when she’s had to make a really hard choice of ‘selling herself’ because her mother has a terminal illness, they have no money left for her medical care, and Lanie has taken it upon herself to find a solution. The cover art was great, the summary of it was great, so i was really excited to see where this story would take us. I had gotten the ARC for book 2 in this series so i figured that i should probably read #1 first to get up to speed right? so that’s what i did. There was so much right about this book, yet so much wrong. But soon, their intense, physical bond will take an unexpected turn-evolving into something neither has bargained for: the promise of a lasting love. When they’re together, they never want to leave each other’s arms. Almost immediately their relationship generates heat-in more ways than one. The inexperienced beauty will learn to satisfy his every sensual need, yet never touch his heart.

But it’s the perfect business arrangement. Noah doesn’t know why Delaine sold her body for a cool two mil. Now she belongs to Noah Crawford, a wealthy mogul who introduces her to a seductive feast of the senses, awakening desires she only dreamed about. She auctions herself off at Chicago’s most exclusive erotic club. When a matter of life and death threatens to tear apart her family, Delaine makes the ultimate sacrifice.
