Christmas Cherry Auction #8

Sugarplums and Submission

Rate this book
My life plan didn't involve stepbrothers.
It also didn't involve them being famous heartthrob hockey players.


And it most certainly wasn't suppose to allow them to bid on me at the Christmas Cherry Auction.

Can I trust the fantasy life they promise me, or will my heart be broken when their motives become clear?

If you love dirty-talking men who know how to please their stepsister, don't miss this year's Christmas Cherry Auction!

RH

I originally picked up this book because of the cover and title thinking it was a Christmas RH read. Which TECHNICALLY I guess it is set around Christmas since there’s a Christmas Cherry Auction in the first chapter where the heroine actions herself off to her stepbrother. I assure you though, that’s the last you hear about Christmas.

Since this is a novella I am left wanting more. I wish there was a backstory to the characters, but we don’t really get any. The story picks up with Cindy at the Christmas Cherry auction where her older stepbrothers bid on her. She wants to auction her cherry but ends up with dates with her three stepbrothers.

I liked the overall story but I wanted more from it. It’s a good quick read though, took less than two hours to read.

Sensationally written story with outstanding character which is a page turner as well as a steamy romantic happily ever after that’s a great read.
A young woman puts her name in a charity auction which only supposed to let the winner have four hours of the person they win at the auctions time with helping with things during Christmas like cleaning home or wrapping gifts but since last year it has turned into a place where the one auctioned is looking for sex and that’s what they young woman was thinking about. But she’s auctioned off to her stepbrothers, they spent a lot of money on her.
Only two out of her three brothers were there at the auction, it was for charity it was to help out the woman’s spelter where they lived at. The other brother was at anger management classes, all the are always in trouble, they’re all three are hockey players and also live together in their own house.
The stepsister has to have a routine and has to have schedules, she's an accountant and sees her friends regularly. She still lives at home with her father and stepmother.
The woman makes some rules that’s suppose to be followed but by the end only one has been following the rules and he’s the one that usually breaks the rules. The stepbrothers find out that she’s a virgin and they all want to be her first, they want to breed her even though they have a strict policy to always wear a condom. They start off with just oral sex until the final stepbrother she has sex with. At this time all three of the stepbrothers want her in their lives forever, they love her but she keeps second guessing her feelings.
It all comes to a head when one of the stepbrothers tells her to go to work and if she wants to be with them to meet them at the ice rink at seven. Throughout the day at her accounting job she keeps thinking about her stepbrothers and not the figures that she’s to be thinking about. She notices one of her friends and goes to her, they talk but her friend’s stepbrothers come in so she leaves. She decides to go to her stepbrothers at seven but she has to finish her work.
The three stepbrothers are at the rink where practice is being held. It’s after seven and one of the stepbrother’s has left, one is talking to the coach and the other is practicing shots even though he’s upset that she didn’t show up until she’s there as well as the stepbrother who left. The three talk and she explains about not having her phone. When all three stepbrothers are there, the one that kept to the rules decides he wants to have sex there so that he can’t wait any longer so he has sex with her while the other two kiss and give the stepsister comfort and they all have their orgasms together. They get into trouble about having sex on the property and get ordered by the coach to go to his office. The woman goes home after all the talk before the go see the coach.
She goes to the house of her father and stepmother. The parents are going out. She goes to her room to try to think but her stepbrother winds up showing up. The parents leave. The four talk and before long they have a blanket. One gives her oral sex, after that another gives her sex and the other two masturbate, they all have their orgasms together. Afterwards they sit on the couch together talking. The three stepbrothers tell her how much they love her and want to be with her during this time the parents come in and they all start talking, the woman winds up talking and when she’s done she tells her stepbrothers that she loves them as well. Since they are there they do a Christmas tradition that the family does.
The woman is with one of her friends putting on her wedding gown but it’s too tight due to the fact that she’s pregnant with quadruplets. Her father walks her down the aisle. They start the ceremony and in no time she gets morning sickness, they have the guests go to the reception while they finish the ceremony.

Cindy has always lived her life planned out to the smallest detail. Her step=brothers drove her nuts because they never planned anything. She loved dandelions and yelled at her brothers for blowing them. Her father tries to teach her that sometimes not everything has to be planned. Tonight, Cindy is going to take a risk and be auctioned off in the Christmas Cherry Auction. She is hoping that the winning bidder to help her with her v-card problem. She never expected the bidders to be her stepbrothers. She is again angry that they messed up her plan.

Ballz, Adrian, and Jeff are Cindy's stepbrothers. They are pro hockey players who keep getting into trouble. Their coach wants them to get some positive publicity for once so they decided that together they were going to donate one million to the women's shelter. They weren't going to bid on anyone until they discovered that Cindy was up for bid. They thought they were doing a good deed by saving her from a stranger taking advantage of her. They didn't know that she wanted to be taken advantage of. The four make a deal that they will help her with dating lessons and passion lessons so she can catch the man that she wants. They just wish it was them.

Part of the Christmas Cherry Auction series each with sexy stepbrothers YEP! With an “s” and their stepsister so hang on you won’t put it down until the last page has been turned. Cindy the stepsister to very popular stepbrothers isn’t feeling the holiday spirit so she decides to sign herself up for the Christmas Cherry Auction in hopes of getting a great bid with someone who will help her never imagining her stepbrothers would show up placing bids on her and they intend to win. Ballz, Adrian, Jeff sexy as all get out stepbrothers who need to clean up their image so going to the auction to help also, to take their stepsister home with them so placing a one million dollar bid to ensure they win her despite never asking her and when the bidding has completed, they all head home. They of course set rules as to how the evening will go but we all know that rules are meant to be broken but does breaking said rules help their image or hurt their image, will their stepsister welcome their craziness, the shenanigans they get into will guide them one direction and is that direction happiness together?

Sugarplums and Submission is a short and steamy, OTT, reverse harem, girl gets her 3 hot stepbrothers romance. Cindy is a shy virgin who has put herself up for the cherry auction. Her three stepbrothers are star hockey players and need to repair their image. They end up bidding on her for $1 million for charity. But the brothers are all in love with her. She loves them too but is afraid to lose her routines and be in the public eye. But can she resist them? Jeff is the dominant controlling one. Balthazar (Ballz) is the impulsive and adventurous one. Adrian is the rulebreaker with a soft side. Can they prove to her that they are all in? The chemistry was hot 🔥 hot 🔥 hot 🔥. The brothers were so tender with her. There is a little family drama, but then we get a great HEA. This was a great spicy, OTT read.

Cindy (h) signs up with the Christmas Cherry Auction in hopes of feeling some holiday heat when her hockey player stepbrothers, Ballz (H) and Adrian (H), place the winning bid of one million dollars to go to charity and help clean-up their public images – their other brother, Jeff (H), can’t be there since he’s at anger management. The group sets some ground rules for how things will go, including no sex, though rules are meant to be broken, and soon are as things heat up for Cindy and her stepbrothers. This one was kind of a hit and a miss for me – plenty of heat but the love felt light, and I just didn’t get any feels for the characters. Hot and steamy forbidden, age gap Christmastime erotica.

I really enjoyed the book before this one. But this one was way better. I absolutely loved it. Cindy needs structure yeah her Step Brothers or anything but structure oriented. Balthazar aka Ballz, Jeff and Adrian are also different but they all bring something unique to the relationship. Bring the four together and you have a super hot super interesting relationship. But when they sat the parents down to tell them that they were in a relationship I was literally crying from laughing from the Dad's reaction. I was laughing so hard I can barely Catch My Breath.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Cindy, Ballz, Adrian, & Jeff. Cindy has always felt like the girl who is only seen because of her stepbrothers. Their wild ways both on and off the ice rink has made them have quite a reputation. When the guys learn that their step-sister is putting herself up for auction they know what they have to do. When the coach tells them to give to charity to help clean up their rep he never planned on this one. Can they find a HEA or will it end up breaking them all in the end?

Another hit out of the park by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I love the idea of Cindy's tattoo on the dandelion on her wrist and the saying along with it. This story had a bit of a slower start for me and took me longer to get into it than any of the other books I've read by Sylvie Haas. But once the action picked up and they stopped tip-toeing why they were together, then it got really fun and entertaining and steamy. I loved all the dirty humor in the book too - it made me chuckle that the guys didn't even try to be mature.

I loved this story by Sylvie Haas. I couldn't put it down. I just wished it was longer. Ballz, Adrian, and Jeff maybe my favorite males from Sylvie's world. I loved how they went and bought Cindy. She was the only girl out of her friends who openly admits wanting her stepbrothers. They are the hottest hockey players who also need to stay out of the spotlight and any scandals. Will they get their happily ever after?

Rigid Rules Meets Spontaneous Stepbrothers

Cindy has always had a thing for her stepbrothers, but she doesn’t want to be a spinster, so she’s set on auctioning her “time” at the Christmas Cherry Auction. Fortunately, her brothers Jeff, Adrian and Balthazar do win her, but can they convince her that they’re forever? I liked readings this story and all the unique little nuggets in it, like Cindy’s dandelion tattoo with the quote about the scattered seeds, and when Cindy and Jeff do Tai Chi together. A sweet (and spicy) Christmas story.

Stepbrothers, RH, hockey, and age gap are just a few of the tropes in this story.
I thought it was a fun and quick read and it easily kept my attention. There was humor, spice, and a little drama.
Cindy participated in the Christmas Cherry Auction. To her surprise and maybe even hope, her stepbrothers were who bought her.
Jeff, Ballz, and Adrian were the brothers. I liked how different they were.
The banter and steam between them was great.
Overall, it was a sweet and spicy read!

I thought this book was sinfully hot! Cindy auctions herself and her stepbrothers Ballz, Adrian and Jeff end up purchasing her, and thus, spoiling her plans. However, the buys are attracted to Cindy and come up with an alternative plan with her. One thing leads to another and they need to figure out how to make this relationship work I found this book steamy and so fun to read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Cindy's plan to lose her v-card takes an unexpected turn when her stepbrothers buy her at the auction. I liked how Ballz, Jeff and Adrian help her deal with the changes and convince her they love her a woman and not only as a sister. Their wedding was certainly interesting.

This was a fun and hot RH romance that brought together Cindy and her step-brothers in ways that she never thought would happen ;) The guys, famous hockey players, really brought something unique to the relationship to make it interesting and hot. I enjoyed following them to an HEA with the sprinkles of humour, banter and steam spread throughout :D

Cindy is auctioned at the cherry auction and is bought by her 3 stepbrothers. She secretly was hoping that would buy her. They decided to teach her “how to date”. It’s not long before the rules get broken and things get hot. They teach her many things!.

An age-gap taboo steamy short read that was okayish.
Some scene transitions were jumpy and there were a few errors.
