Auctioned to the Agent

Sold to the Naughtier List #1

by Cassi Hart

Holly Taylor

All I’ve ever wanted is to be a professional singer. I don’t care about the glitz and glamour of celebrity life; I just love music. So when my stepfather told me about a local singing competition, I didn't stop to ask for details, even though I should have been suspicious. My stepfather has never been one to spare me a kind word or favor, so it should have been a red flag when he told me he’d entered me into the contest and volunteered to take me there himself. Now I’m on stage as strangers bid on my virginity. What I’d thought would be the chance of a lifetime has turned into my worst nightmare. Before I know it, the auction is over and I’m being taken away to the home of a stranger. But my bidder isn’t what I expected. He might not be the new beginning I was hoping for, but he could be the one I need.

Andrew Stone

My role in Flint and Stone Records was supposed to be silent. I have no interest in babysitting spoiled rockstars, but my business partner is thousands of miles away, so here I am on a Friday night hunting down a wayward musician before he tanks his entire career. What the hell he was thinking attending a virginity auction is beyond me, but I have to find him before the paparazzi does. The last thing I’m prepared for when I walk into the auction hall is to hear the voice of an angel. I know what talented singing sounds like, and this girl is the best I’ve ever heard. But it’s not just her voice. Everything about her draws me in, and when the bidding starts, I know I have to have her, consequences be damned. Not everything is as it appears though, and my prize turns out to be more than I anticipated. But Holly is mine now, and I’ll do anything necessary to keep her.

*Contains SPOILERS* for SAFE readers…


Andrew and Holly

SAFETY remarks
- SAFE-ish
- h virgin / H super experienced
- cheating/sharing: no
- ow/om: no
- separation/breakups: no
- possible triggers: virginity auction, he has casual secs/hookups in the past
- HEA: yes

There’s a reason I stick to some authors and don’t venture much with new ones. I tried this book by an author I don’t think I have read before and got disappointed. And I didn’t see safe readers reviews which should have given me a hint.

This is safe-ish because the H doesn’t have a partner or has secs with anyone after he found the h. At first I thought he was a recluse, virgin or at least celibate for a long time until I read this: «I’ve been with plenty of women. A man in my position and with my wealth has no trouble finding a warm body to lose himself in for a couple of hours when the mood hits. But this, what I’m feeling right now with Holly in my arms is nothing like those meaningless encounters.» Ugh 😣.
That’s not safe to me. It’s a trigger. Because a man that hookups doesn’t look for forever. And at the beginning that’s his thought with Holly. Doesn’t make the h special and apart from all the other women he’s been with. Just pleasure in the moment.
I didn’t like how fast she gave in forgetting he bought her in a virginity auction. Yes, he wasn’t there for the auction, he was there to drag out his record label client before he destroyed his career and the label’s reputation. I also hate she was giving herself with the thought that she was leaving.

I don’t like hookups stories. It does end with a beautiful relationship. But reading a book with a trigger on is uncomfortable and I don’t enjoy fully the book.
It also has errors that need editing.

I won’t continue this series.

She thought she was stepping into a spotlight. Instead, she was sold to a stranger.

All Holly's ever wanted is to sing. No fame, no fortune, just music. So when her cold, controlling stepfather enters her into a local “competition,” she doesn’t question it. Not until the lights hit her and nothing feels right.

Andrew never plans to bid on anyone. He’s just there to clean up a PR disaster. But when he hears her voice, everything changes. One impulse decision makes her his, and keeping her safe becomes his only priority.

What starts as possession shifts into something deeper. Holly finds safety where she least expects it, and Andrew finds peace in someone who never asked for anything but sees everything. Walls fall, trust grows, and what they build becomes impossible to walk away from.

He’s never let himself feel. She’s never had the chance to choose. But love doesn’t care how it starts, and this one refuses to let go.

Holly begins as naive but hopeful, shaped by silence and survival. Over time she grows stronger, more open, more willing to take up space. Andrew starts as a guarded protector, but slowly becomes the man who puts her first, every time. What begins as power imbalance transforms into a partnership built on trust, intimacy, and a need neither of them saw coming.

A steamy, instalove, age gap, forced proximity, holiday, virgin auction romance with daddy kink, possessive alpha energy, praise and control, situational dominance, and light primal play, exploring betrayal, protection, trauma, healing, trust, identity, autonomy, and redemption. It’s about a young woman stripped of safety and choice who finds power in surrender and love in the one man who sees her fully. Dark, obsessive, and emotionally charged, their love remakes them both.

The Elevator Pitch: When a girl with nothing but a dream is auctioned off to a stranger, her world shatters, then rewrites itself in his hands. He’s cold, rich, and never meant to feel a thing, but she slips under his skin and makes him burn. Steamy, intense, and addictive, their love is born from darkness and bound by need.

She as had a rough upbringing and continually verbal abuse and manipulation at the hands of her step-father Craig. He's vile, evil, wick and self- serving. So when her step-father told her about a local singing competition, she didn't stop and ask for details she just went with him although she should be suspicious of him. Craig has never been one to spare her no type of favor, so it should've been a red flag when he told her that he'd entered her into a contest and volunteered to take her there himself. For his own selfish reasons he tricked and manipulate her into going with him for an auction under the guise that she was going for audition. However, instead of her singing she found herself on stage with her virginity being auction off to a bunch of strangers.
Craig forced her to sign the auction contract and NDA without given the chance of reading it before signing it. What she thought would be the chance of a lifetime has turned into her worst nightmare. And before she knew it the auction is over and she was being carted away to the stranger home. Andrew Stone is a handsome, billionaire, silver fox record owner of Flint and Stone Records. A business that's co-owned with his friend Mick and business partner. Initially he was only supposed to be a silent partner but it didn't work out that way. Mick was on business out of town thousands of miles away, he found himself on a Friday night hunting down their wayward musician before he tanks his entire career and cause a scandal that he couldn't come back from. He couldn't understand for the life of him what Rory was thinking by attending a virginity auction all he knows that he must find him before the paparazzi does and get a picture.
Rory getting caught at this type of auction is not only detrimental for his career it is also bad for his company as well and he wasn't going to allow this fool to ruin his company and it's reputation. But the last thing that he was prepared for when he walked into the auction hall is to hear the voice of angel from the beautiful the siren on stage. Andrew have been in the music industry for a couple years and he knows raw talent when he hears it and Holly singing was best that he have ever heard before. He immediately knew that she would be the next artist sign to their label. He wasn't just drawn to her voice it was everything about her that drew him in, and when the bidding starts he had to place a bid and makes sure that he wins; because he knows that he had to have her and consequences be damned. However, everything is not what it appears to be and his prize turns out to be more than he bargains for and anticipated. But Holly was his now and he wasn't planning on letting her go and will do anything necessary to keep her.
Andrew saved her when he bought her, he saved her from a faith far worst than she could imagined. They start was very rocky but he was very patient and allowed her time to come around. They spent the time learning about each other for a week initially after the auction both physically and personally before Andrew takes her to his office to have Mick sign her to their label. But misunderstandings on a one sided conversation that she overheard causes her to flee and run right into the hands of the person who she had been trying to get away from all her life. But Andrew saved her once again from him. The two shared some steamy and passionate moments. And Holly realized that her bidder wasn't what she was expecting and was actually the new beginning to have she was hoping for all her life and the one that she needed. A great swoon-worthy story that can be read in a hour.

OMG!!! WOW!! Fab*u*lous Absolutely love this one!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice quick, short read.

Auctioned to the Agent, Book 1 of the Sold to the Naughtier List series (each book written by a different author), was about 35-year-old Andrew Stone, a silent partner in Flint and Stone Records, and 18-year-old Holly Taylor, a professional singer-hopeful.

Attending what she thought would be a local singing competition, Holly had the rude awakening to the reality that her stepfather, who had become her guardian three years earlier when her mother died, had instead signed her up for an auction that would sell her virginity to the highest bidder.

Andrew hadn't planned on attending a private auction the night he met Holly for the first time. He was there because " a wayward musician" had chosen to attend, and he needed to prevent the man from becoming the next item on the paparazzi's hit list. Once he found his client, who was in the process of bidding on Holly, Andrew had him complete the bid...but for Andrew's benefit, not the client's. When Holly was finally made aware of what had just transpired, it was too late to back out, because she had already unwittingly signed all the necessary paperwork that stated she was a willing participant in the auction.

After Andrew had taken Holly to his home, he assured her nothing untoward would take place until and unless she was ready for it...although he also told her that it would happen...when she was ready. For the remainder of that night, aside from a shared passionate kiss, Holly remained untouched.

This was the second book I read in this series of standalones (I read Book 6 first). Their only connection seemed to be the auction house where each main couple met for the first time when one of them was auctioned off for whatever reason. Unlike Book 6, this story had more depth, angst, and drama, along with a short emotional rollercoaster that had only a few twists or turns. There was also some conflict that was lacking in Book 6 that made this story better.

Both of the main characters were fully developed, but I can only say that the MMC was mature since the FMC was barely 18 and as naive and innocent as they come. What the other book lacked was any chemistry, but this book had a touch more, which made it flow more easily and made the book more palatable.

I gave this book a full three-star rating, but it could have been higher if it had more meat and bones to round it out.

Holly has been fooled by her stepfather into thinking she’s going to an audition for a singing competition. In truth, the sicko is auctioning her off to the highest bidder. Luckily, Andrew is already at the auction to pick up his wayward charge, Rory, who’s an up and coming pop sensation. Rory being at an auction for humans — yep, it’s that kind of auction — is a violation of his contract, and Andrew’s not going to let the dummy ruin his record studio.

Andrew’s timing is impeccable, as he’s found Rory just as Holly begins singing, still naïvely thinking that she’s auditioning. Yeah, we can’t wait to see her stepfather get what he deserves for lying to her and making her sign a contract and NDA without her reading it. So when Andrew hears her voice, he makes Rory increase the bid so that Andrew can save her from a terrible fate.

Of course, he’s immediately obsessed with her, and takes her home, discerning from her story that she was truly in the dark about being auctioned off. He takes her home, gets her new clothes, and falls hard and fast, knowing very early on that he is never going to let her go…unless she wants to go.

It’s no surprise she doesn’t want to go.

I’m not a big fan of human auctions, obviously. Sadly, far too many women, men, and even children, are still sold as sex workers, luring them in with a promise of a better life, or just outright kidnapping them and forcing them into service. It’s a horrific truth that we as humans still haven’t stamped out. Maybe someday.

Anyway, Andrew and Holly fall hard and fast for each other, though they almost get separated because Holly overhears only part of a conversation between Andrew and his friend and business partner, Mick. Never leave your eavesdropping before you hear everything in context! Rookie mistake, that, but I’ll forgive the young Holly, as this entire story has her going through a bunch of firsts.

Yes, there is steam. A lot of it. So if that’s what you’re looking for, you are in the right place. Kick back, grab a beverage, and enjoy this sexy story.

"I've already fallen, and the more time we spend together, the more I want her."~Andrew🥀

"Daddy. You're Daddy, and I'm yours."~Holly🥀

This was a good and extra naughty romance. We have an older man and a very young naive woman meeting at an exclusive auction house. Holly, 18, had no idea what her wretched stepfather Craig was planning for her. She wanted to sing so she thought it was a singing competition. Holly was sweet but I think she didn't question things enough. I wish she had spoken up for herself more. That's when 35yr old Andrew Stone steps in to protect his well known artist client who had no idea where he had gotten himself into.

The auction house for these young ladies was run by many business associates including a friend of Andrew's, a Russian mobster turned legit business man, but Andrew had nothing to do with the auction house itself. These 2 men run a record label. And Roby, Andrew's client, had to be rescued as does the woman on stage, that Andrew instantly wanted for himself. You know how it goes.😁 A purchase was made.💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵

The story moved very quickly. I got to know Andrew more than Holly. Except a lot of naughty steam 🥵🔥🥵🔥😚😚 as these 2 float around one another in Andrew's home. There was a Daddy kink, an age gap, hidden emotions, a man who keeps to himself but ends up falling hard for his woman unexpectedly. Not to worry, Holly was feeling things too. She pushed to get the ball rolling.😂😂 Did Holly get her singing contract? Maybe. Nice book cover. Happy reading.*•>§<•*🎶💕🎶💕🎶

🚩🚩Not sure if there are TWs in place. This story does include trafficking of women, bullying, and some threats from a powerful Bratva.🚩🚩

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Auctioned to the Agent by Cassi Hart. This book hooked me from the very first page and didn’t let go.

Holly’s story broke my heart and rebuilt it again. I loved her instantly—this girl who just wants to sing is thrown into the most horrifying situation imaginable, and the moment the auction started, I was holding my breath. Cassi Hart writes trauma and vulnerability so well, but she also gives Holly a fierce inner strength that made me root for her the whole way.

Then Andrew enters the scene. Not the monster she was expecting—he’s the opposite. Cold on the outside, powerful, dangerous…but there’s something soft and protective buried under the armor. Their meeting is intense, electric, and unexpectedly emotional. The way he steps in and takes control of a situation that was so wrong made me fall for him instantly.

The chemistry? Out of this world. This isn’t just instalove—it’s possession, devotion, and two wounded people finding exactly what they needed in the most unexpected place. Their dynamic is tender but also raw and dominant in the best possible way.

The dark themes are handled with care and purpose, the romance burns slowly and beautifully, and the plot kept me turning pages. I loved the world, the tension, the moral lines that blur—and the ending was deeply satisfying.

These quick smutty read are the ones that I love the most.
Instant attraction leads to.... He falls first in this age gap romance from a surprise auction win.
When Andrew enters an elite club to retrieve one of his rock stars, to not only save his reputation but that of his recording company, he did not expect to see an angel....Holly, standing on the podium, singing. Her voice shook him to his core, but her beauty also stunned him. She was his, that he was sure of and when he wins the bidding on Holly, it soon becomes apparent that she did not realise she had been entered into an auction for her virginity. She thought it was a music competition!
And as with all of Cassie's stories, insta attraction works both ways as both Holly and Andrew fall for each other.
As it is known she is a virgin, Andrew resists temptation by not giving into his desires by ripping away her virginity, but he certainly taught Holly the many ways to reach orgasmic bliss! This is great for the smutty readers, like myself LOL.
many great moments are had throughout the story, with a bit of drama to keep your interest...cos we have to know what happens to her evil step father!! Of course.
And as with all good romances, there is always a HEA!

Short but addictive so hang on you won’t put it down until the last page has been turned. Andrew sexy as all get out agent goes above for most of his clients will do what needs to be done to save them so when he finds out one of his clients is at an elite club of course he isn’t happy about having to get him but he does and voice of an angel captures his undivided attention stopping him in his tracks but one thing was clear she was his winning the bid wasn’t an option he was winning. Holly was sweet all she has dreamed of being was a singer she could careless about the lifestyle but her stepfather had other ideas entered her into an auction selling her innocence to the highest bidder under the disguise of a singing competition and when she is given to a man after her supposed audition she is hurt, confused yet attracted to the man who bought her. The magnetic pull is there from the very beginning despite their meeting but will his client get what he deserves, will her stepfather get what he deserves, will she get her singing contract, and will it end with happiness?

This was a wild read that has Holly being treated abominable by her last family member. Holly has talent and is looking to make her break as a singer. When her step-father tells her he’s got an audition for her, she’s all in….only to find he’s set her up to be auctioned off for her ‘purity’. Nasty! Andrew, an agent on the hunt for his popular new client, is dumbstruck when he sees Holly and then hears her voice. Obviously, he sets out to win her, despite his original reason for being there. She feels a connection to Andrew but is beyond shocked at how her life has been epically shaken up. I love that she decided for herself what she wanted and that Andrew gave her space, respect and protection…and all his love ;P Expect to feel the heat as you follow these two to a wonderful HEA. Good fun!

Holly is at the auction house thinking it is for a singing contract. Her stepfather is auctioning off more than that, though. He lies to her to get her to sign the contract. As she enters the stage, she does sing before the bidding begins.

Andrew is there to pull his new star out before the paparazzi find out he is there. Upon hearing the voice on stage, something in him snaps, and he wants her for more than her voice.

Holly is scared but feels safe with Andrew. The more time together the more than both fall. But when Holly over hears Andrew talking to his partner about her and thinking he is done with her, will she run or hear him out?.

4.5 stars

This is book one in the Sold to the Naughtier List multi author series and features Holly, a young woman excited for her first audition when she realized it was a trick and her virginity was actually up for auction.

I loved Andrew, the MMC, so much! He was so sweet and gentle with Holly and best of all, he fell first, something that I love in a romance.

Although short, this one was lacking nothing. Filled as it was with heat and a protective MMC, this was such a good book, one that’s a no brainer to recommend to anyone who enjoys a good Instalove romance with hints of a mafia presence and some hot Daddy talk. Check it out! 4.5 stars

Holly has barely made it to her 18th birthday when she is taken to a presumed audition. Her stuff father was not truthful and next thing you know she's on the spotlight in an auction. Andrew is supposed to be a solid partner and a record company. But he believes that he needs to protect her at all costs and save the company at the same time. Writing defense about how I feel about this book. I understand that the purchase was to save her from harm yet there was a connection. It does have a happy ending. It does have budding chemistry and thankfully Andrew has since enough to take it slow and getting to know her and becoming very protective and keeping her safe. Decent read.

Auctioned to the Agent is an excellent start to the series, Sold to the Naughtier List series. This holiday short read caught my attention from the start, with Holly trusting someone who she thought would help her achieve her dreams. However, she is devastated when she finds out otherwise. Andrew falls first for Holly and feels an intense attraction to her. Their chemistry for one another sizzles as they journey to know each as they deal with emotions and some unexpected hurdles. This story is well-written, engaging, and just the read for the holidays.

Holly's stepfather lied to her and told her she was going to a music competition, but he took her to auction off her virginity. Andrew was at the auction looking for one of his new young clients, but when he heard Holly sing, he was determined to win the bid. This Alpha hero, virgin heroine, age gap romance with an auction twist. I love how protective Andrew was of Holly and how her dreams still came true. Auctioned to the Agent is book one and a steamy start to the multi-author Sold to the Naughtier List, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

For a short read I really enjoyed this book. Which is a surprise as I usually moan about them, However this book was really sweet. Poor Holly totally trusted the wrong person even if he's her father. This was such a great little read, instant love story. Andrew heard Holly's voice and thought she sounded like an angel and then saw her by accident when he was meant to be sorting out another work problem. Andrew was a perfect gentleman, and he valued her, something she has never felt before. This is a great read that had a lovely happy ending.

Holly was deceived by her step father. She thought she was going to audition for music judges but instead he lied and got her into an auction and she was taken by total surprise. Andrew went to the auction to get a new and up and coming talent that he had signed. He was blown away when he saw Holly up on the stage. Andrew took Holly home with him to take care of her and to get her out of that bad situation. This turned out to be a steamy, sweet story and I enjoyed every moment of this read.

What price would you pay to save your love?
Interesting world of human virginity auctions with unsuspecting FMC and alpha-like MMC rescuer. Once he sees his girl there’s nothing he won’t do to protect and keep her safe. I really liked the MMC, his patience and respect for the FMC really shone throughout the book. Definitely a Daddy and his baby girl story, with a light side serving of bratva to keep control of the villain. Quick read with respectful spice. HEA.

Book 1 of the multi-author Sold to the Naughtier List series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. This one has the Billionaire who wins his virgin at auction. Steamy deliciousness.

The plot was pretty straightforward and well written. World building was well developed and solidly drawn. The characters were so very appealing and complex and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

I’ve read the blurb and had high expectations and this book not only reached them, it exceeded them.

Holly’s story is heartbreaking and I so felt with her. I connected with her and was soo happy to finally seeing her happy, loved and appreciated.

Andrew, tough exterior, soft core for her. He is protective, caring and loving. I loved him from the get go.

Together they have a sizzling chemistry, a deep connection and steam, that was just amazing.

A book that’s captivating, thrilling and so satisfying.

Holly has come to the club to what she has been told by her stepfather is a singing contest. What she doesn’t know is that it’s an auction for her virginity. Andrew is at the auction to get a young star with his record company before he makes a huge mistake. Andrew finds both and “buys” Holly when he hears her voice and sees her confusion. These two are wonderful, well matched characters and I didn’t want the book to end!.

Andrew is only this awful place to find his his talent who is about to make his career go up in smoke if found. When Holly begins to sing, Andrew bids on her, he obsessed with her and her voice.

Auctioned to the Agent is a filthy fun instalove. Naive innocent Holly finds herself in an awful situation, and Andrew’s instant lust for her spurs is alpha-protector caveman side with lightning efficiency. The auction scene is quite dramatic, and the way these two connect and open to each other is crafted so beautifully by the author. Is you want a quick read with engrossing writing, enjoy a daddy kink and age gap, then this one is for you.
