Sold at Auction

by Emily Tilton

Six weeks ago a stern, dangerously sexy man ordered Sophia Larkwood to undress before stripping her bare himself and spanking her thoroughly for her defiance when she dared to protest. Then, with tears still running down her cheeks and her helpless arousal on humiliating display, she was taken to a secret facility to be trained to serve the needs of the Pretorian Guard.

But today as she stands naked on the auction block for billionaires to bid on her, Sophia begins to realize that nothing could have truly prepared her for how shamefully she will soon be put to use.

Publisher's  Sold at Auction is a stand-alone book which is the twelfth entry in the Bound for Service series, which shares the same near-future setting as The Institute Series. It includes spankings, sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, and strong D/s themes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

About the author

Emily Tilton, whose books have hit number one on Amazon in six different erotica categories, wishes she could live out her fantasies of submission the way her characters do.

Emily's erotica is a narrative version of her nearly lifelong quest to reconcile her submissive erotic orientation with her ethics. She writes erotic romance, but her books are always frankly and unashamedly about sex, because writing about sex helps her understand that fundamental part of her life better. She hopes maybe it does the same for her readers.

Over the many years since Emily became aware of her sometimes unbearable craving for spanking, ravishment, and all the shameful things that go with it, she has tried to come to terms with that craving in more ways than she can count. The first of the ways was by reading, voraciously, every piece of BDSM erotica she could find.

Eventually, she read "Story of O." As is reflected throughout her work, it changed her life, though the change has been gradual, and continues to this day. The idea that other women might share the lusts she has by turns been ashamed of and defiantly proud of, that a woman like the real Pauline Réage might write so beautifully of those lusts, and work them out so thoroughly and even pitilessly on a character, put Réage's famous pencil in her right hand. Or, to put it in the terms of EXPLORATIONS, which she considers her magnum opus, it put her left hand on the keyboard of her laptop and her right hand in her lap, if you know what she means. Emily started to write spanking stories.

Our heroine thinks she knows what to expect, but she is still taken by surprise. Seems she has a lot to learn and she better take those lessons to heart.

This is book twelve of the series, but it is written as a standalone. No prior reading is required to enjoy this one.

This is an erotic romance featuring D/S, spanking and the like. The story is well written and easy to read, just like everything else from this author. The characters are well developed. The plot moves along at a nice pace, and provides us with plenty of steam along the way. Overall, the story was very entertaining and I continue to look forward to more stories in the future.

Highly recommended.

This is the 12th book in the Bound for Service series but it can be read as a standalone. Sophia has undergone six weeks of training to be trained to serve the needs of the Pretorian Guard and now she will be sold at auction to billionaires. Fast-paced steamy read with loads of drama and sizzling chemistry. I liked it.

I don’t understand

I’ve read a few of these books and I still don’t understand how such cruelty and subjecting a human being to violence in the name of sexy is possible. And the idea that because these women are reacting biologically that means that they like it. I guess it’s basically that women are reduced to three holes and are no longer human beings.

Having not read the prior books, I had an adjustment period at the beginning. There was plenty of sexual tension with her handler but she was never satisfied. Finally, she is sold to the target and there is plenty of hot, steamy scenes but not with her choice partner. At the end, she is united with her desired teammate who is equally enamored with her. Their story was not explored and it was over before I was satisfied.

Cracking

I particularly enjoy this series and this book doesn't disappoint. Great characters and a decent premise within the strictures of the collection.

Hmmm

Honestly? This book reads like a male fantasy, and not a very sexy one. It’s rather repetitive and I didn’t particularly enjoy it.
