SOLD #1
SOLD
SOLD is the first book in the SOLD series, however it is recommended that you read MASTER OF PASSION and TAKEN prior to reading SOLD, as some of the characters are introduced in those books and key events take place prior to SOLD.
***
All my life I wanted to belong.
I wanted to get away from my drunken mother.
And my asshole of a father.
I've lived a privileged life, one that I've tried to hide from.
All it has gotten me is heartache.
I left on a trip to find myself.
I was taken, blindfolded, beaten, and sold.
My story doesn't end there.
Now I belong.
To him.
Unwillingly.
He says he will own me, own my body, soul and mind.
This is my story. It isn't a fairy tale. It's the fucked up mess of my life, and the man who owns me. He has demons of his own that he fights. He lives a privileged life but it wasn't always that way. He's been living in his own hell. And I've introduced him into mine. He says he's broken. I am the piece to his puzzle. The puzzle that is his life.
I wont give up without a fight. I wont give in.
I want my freedom, I want my life.
What if I come to discover that what I've been searching for is him? He can heal my soul, fill me, break me and make me new again. He is my true Nightmare. I don't need to sleep to see him.
***
My name is Chase. I have been watching and waiting for this day for over seven years. Since my father was murdered my life was surrounded by her. I took comfort in the fact that soon I would be able to make him hurt just as he has hurt me. I would be able to make him beg as I begged him all those years ago when he was standing behind my dad with a gun to his head.
I was a young man then. I hadn't decided what I wanted to do with my life yet. I didn't know where I wanted to go, but I did want to go. I wanted to escape. But watching my father as he was murdered before my eyes changed everything. Now I am motivated by revenge. I was out to make him pay. He would pay through her.
I would make her my slave. She would pay the sins that her father Michael James Lippman committed. She would bow to my will. She would do whatever I ask of her. I planned on using her until she was broken beyond repair.
I planned on breaking her and then tossing her out to hurt him even more. To pour more salt in his wounds. What I hadn't planned on was falling irrevocably and madly in love with her. I hadn't planned on her changing everything, but she did. I found my escape; in her.
Emma
I look at the room that has housed me during my terrible childhood. I can’t help but feel sorrowful at the life lost here. I had been innocent during the entire situation, but I was the one to suffer the most.
Sure mom says she suffered; she suffered so much she drank an entire handle of Jack. And then some. I suffered from my life lost, from the separation of my parents, from losing my mother.
Sure she’s still here; her passed out snoring form on the couch shows me that. But she left, mentally, a long time ago. I have just been a ‘job’ for her. Something she felt obligated to.
In the eighteen years I’ve lived here I’ve never felt her love. I’ve felt her hate, her anger, and her rage, but never her love.
I can’t help but long for it, long to feel a mothers embrace. I shake my head as the tears slide down my cheeks. Stupid childish dreams. I’ve put those away to move on with my life, to move to my Father’s and begin anew.
I thought once I left mom’s my hell would be over. It hadn’t even begun.

I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.
This is a dark, dark series which deals with matters that I luckily have never had to deal with. I am torn between giving this story 3 stars as I liked it and thought it was well-written but also disliked the content (beatings, being drugged and forced etc) and 4 stars because although I disliked parts of it, it was still gripping and enthralling.
I can't pretend to understand the mindset of the girls as they are 'broken down' before being remodeled into the perfect 'doll'. All I can say is that, as a reader, you are with them every step of the way.
This is not an easy series to read, both for the content and also for the fact that you are trying to remember each of the characters, who they are, where they've come from, what their story is etc. The only one you remember for sure is Kevin because you know that he is such a twisted S-O-B he will make a difficult situation even worse whenever he appears to spread his evil.
If you like your stories dark, then this will be the book/series for you.

all I can say is WOW!!! Sold captivates you from page one by just jumping into the action. this book is dark and twisted and one hell of a page turner. when love can be born out of violence and revenge, it takes a special kind of person to make it last.
chase wanted revenge for the murder of his father. his hate is so deep that he plots an act of revenge by stealing the murder's daughter emma. little did he know that fate had other plans for him and emma.
Emma just wanted to escape the life of her suicidal attention seeking mother. she has never felt wanted her whole life. when she is kidnapped and sold her life changes forever. out of the torture she endures she finds there is a way to fill the void she has always felt.
sold is filled with a roller coaster of emotions that keeps you turning the page waiting for the next shoe to drop.
***if you have triggers to violence and sexual assult proceed with caution. details in this book are graphic and not for the faint of heart.

Sold has been sitting on my Kindle’s TBR since August 2014 I am ashamed to say. I had already read & reviewed both Master of Passion & Taken back in Aug. 2014 as well. Sold finally grabbed my attention and it was time to read this book!
I was addicted to this book as soon as I started reading it. It didn’t seem to matter that it has been since 2014 that I started this series. I was sucked in.
Now this is a pretty dark book and you need to heed the warning on this book and anything in it that you don’t like don’t read this book.
This is not a long book I read it in less than a morning. But, I immediately bought ...
Taken and Bound: Dark Erotic Romance (Taken and SOLD Book 2) as soon as I finished Sold. Funny how a book can sit so long on your Kindle and then you buy and start the next book the same day.

Received a complimentary copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Wow. I totally loved sold. It's starts off dark and dangerous, goes all romantic then ends dark and dangerous. Characters are entwined with her previous 2 books, masters of passion and taken so reading those before this book is a must to fully understand the goings on. Nikki Faye, you have done it again. completely and utterly left me wanting no needing more. Your work is amazing. Really looking forward to reading so much more of your work.

I was lucky enough to receive a ARC of this book from Nikki Faye. Never has a series of books captivated me so much, I love that all three books so far have some of the same characters in them. Chase wants revenge for the murder of his father & the only way to do that is by making Emma his slave. Emma is the daughter of the man that killed Chase's father. Chase has sick & twisted Kevin kidnap Emma & train her, so that she can become a broken mess. The end blew me away I totally did not see that coming. I can't wait for the next one !!

Raw. Gritty, Dark and totally CONFUSING!!
I am totally frustrated and confused with this series. It is repetitive, nothing is ever resolved with each book leaving readers with a dead end stop and major CLIFFHANGER.
There are numerous grammatical and punctuation errors, misplaced, misused, missing or added words throughout every book!!! Characters and dates keep flipping back and forth,, numerous pages are repeated from previous books. All of which is distracting, confusing, exasperating and extremely frustrating!
This series just boggles my mind, and that is not good!

I really liked this one. It had raw dark emotions and some suspense. I hated Chase and still do not know what to think of him. I am all twisted up inside over the transformation Emma goes through. I want her to hate these men and especially Chase for all the pain he has put her through but she is far from hating him in the end. I am blown away by how all these characters are interconnected and I cannot wait to see how it all resolves. A fast read that is sure to satisfy those who like it dark.

A definite page turner. I really like the double point of view with the book, I like that you know what both sides are thinking during high and low points in the book. This book ties into the others nicely and I can't wait to read more!
