I am voluntarily and honestly writing this review for the book I received through ARC. This is the Third book in this series and the story is getting better and better.
Ellie and Aiden get together again as he invites her back to the yacht to another party/auction. This time her friend Caroline with her knowing she will be auctioned off. Ellie didn't get dressed up because she was there for Aiden.
Lizbeth gave all the girls what they were to wear. She tells Ellie that Mr.Black wanted her in the auction and of course she knew that Aiden will win. Earlier that evening Elle ran into a man she met the last time on the yacht Blake. He gave her the creeps when they met the first time.
Caroline goes up to be auctioned off this time she was ready and made great money. It was Ellie turn next and she got over a a hundred thousand dollars. She didn't want Aiden to pay for her when so when she is lead to a room she expected Aiden but when the man opened the door and she heard him speak she realizes it is Blake.
Blake handcuff to the bed as she was trying to push him off do her.
She couldn't believe that Aiden didn't bid on her and he allowed Blake to win. But the next thing she was fighting Blake off when Aiden crashed through door and punched Blake and threw him to the ground. Aiden couldn't believe Lizbeth let Ellie to be auctioned to anyone but him. Ellie is of course shaken but Aiden assured her that she was not supposed to be auctioned only to him.
Things start to go south because Blake pulled out of Aiden business and took some more investors with him because he couldn't have Elle
and Blake he was vindictive.
Aiden finally tells Ellie that he loved her and she professed her love for him. But things start to spiral out and Aiden company is going down fast
But you have to read the book to find out what happens.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was so excited for this book, I’ve been waiting to see what more we can expect from Aiden and Ellie. This book did not disappoint. Ellie has been asked back to the yacht for another auction and is bringing a friend with her. Thinking she is there to spend time with Aiden only to find out that she too is going up for auction. This time did not go so well for Ellie and she found herself in a bad situation and if Aiden hadn’t come to her rescue she may have been scarred for life. Aiden is falling for Ellie, they are good together, he just needs to come to grips with it. Did the auction go as planned or did someone have a hand in having Ellie auctioned off? Wow, this book was definitely on the edge of your seat, waiting for what was going to happen. Charlotte is a master with their story and I only hope that we get our HEA in the next book. Can’t wait for it.

This is the 3rd book I've read for this author,,,, like the last one, I have an ARC for an honest review,,,,
This is the continue of Ellie and Aiden's story,,,, It takes place back at the yacht for another auction, with the woman again being auctioned off again,,, and Ellie was not going this time, although she was invited, along with Caroline, but she doesn't want anyone else, except her Aiden,,,, and she isn't really sure where their relationship stands...., SO,,,,,, Caroline was begging her to go again, since Caroline left before being auctioned off last time, and seeing what a nicd catch Ellie had in her "Mr. Black" last time,,, she was hopjng she could find her own "Mr Black" so to say,,,,,,, but Ellie went with Caroline, because Aiden invited her and she THOUGHT she was just going to spend time with Aiden again,,,,,
They were met by Lizbeth again and Ellie and Caroline were put in separate rooms this time, and of course Ellie just kept asking Lizbeth about Aiden with no one answer to confirm or deny ,,,,,
So, pick up your copy of this 3rd story,,,, find out what's new about the auctioning, if Caroline and / or Ellie stay to be auctioned off, if go home,,,, if Ellie gets to see or speak to Aiden,,,, you will NOT be disappointed,,,, I totally recommend this book and simply cannot wait for #4.....

This story keeps getting more exciting with each part. This is part 3 and they are back on the yacht. Caroline is going back with her to be auctioned off. Ellie just wants to be with Aiden, so she doesn't get dressed up. She is told Aiden wants her in the auction and given what to wear. Ellie is shocked when the man that shows up isn't Aiden but a man she had met before, Blake. This book is filled with drama, fear, suspense, sexy scenes, betrayal, lust, and love. What will Blake do to Ellie? Will he listen to her? Will Ellie get away from Blake? Why did Aiden not bid on Ellie? Doesn't he love her? What happens after the yacht? Grab a book, find a comfortable place so you can be taken on a ride. This is a cliffhanger. Yes, there will be a part 4 and I can't wait for it.
Charlotte once again builds the story to you are left wanting to know more. She is a creative genius. Thank you for the great reads, Charlotte! I received an ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review.

This is the continuation of Auctioned to Him. Part 3 begins at the end of part 2 with Aiden completely smitten for Ellie. He invites her back to the yacht to participate in another auction. Ellie is confused and thought that their relationship was beyond paying for them to be together. She is really there to just see him and to support her roommate Caroline who is thrilled to be invited back to the yacht. Will things go well for Ellie in the auction? Will it end in a catastrophe that will destroy not only their relationship but Aiden? You will need to read the book to find out. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
I voluntarily read and wrote this review from an advanced copy of the book.

I can't believe Charlotte Byrd led me on once again. I was definitely NOT expecting an Auctioned #4 to be in the future. Oh well. As for #3, it was not quite as deliciously sex filled as the prior two as it spent more time on developing the relationship between the two main characters in terms of like or love or whatever their "relationship" might be, which of course is definitely NOT all bad. The story flows along and before you know it, it ends, and much too quickly for me. Of course, I am very much looking forward to reading #4 when it does come out, so I can continue on the journey of Aiden and Ella. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of the book.

I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book. Here we are at Book 3. The evolution of Ellie and Aiden's relationship continues. This 3rd book was WAY TOO SHORT. I just cannot get enough of these two people and their lives. I really am wondering if the auction was supposed to occur as it did. Did Aiden really want Ellie to sign that contract? I thought not. Who was on the phone with the auctioneer telling her to move forward with auctioning Ellie? Was it Aiden? So glad Charlotte said the next installment is within a month. I am just loving this story and just cannot wait!
August 22, 2017
Continuation of Auctioned to Him. This is part 3 in a serial where it is best to have read part 1 and 2 first. Part 3 is not the end of the story for Ellie and Aidan / Mr. Black there will be more to come. Part 3 takes place back on the boat where there is another auction with Ellie's friend Caroline participating. Ellie only knows that she was asked to attend but does not know if she was to participate in this auction. Things go terribly wrong for Ellie on the boat before Aidan comes to the rescue, but his rescue comes with its own complications. Now Aidan is struggling with his business but is falling for Ellie. This is an ARC review.
August 22, 2017
I am in love with this series. This book is funny, sexy, romantic, basically you will feel all of your emotions as you read it, or I did at least but it is a good book, all of them are. Ellie and a friend are invited back to the yacht for another auction, Ellie thinks she is there to spend time with Aiden but boy is she in for a surprise when she is auctioned off, but this time she can't see the faces of the men bidding on her and her time coming up is a disaster when she is almost raped. I won't go any further, I don't want to spoil anything. I cannot wait for the next book in the series, I am like a person that's addicted to cocaine, except it is the Auctioned to Him series.
August 22, 2017
Sexy and just a little darker - great read.
I was waiting with bated breath to read this book and it did not disappoint. Ellie
and Aiden are so right for each other and he just needs to accept that. The twist I
didn't see coming and I was holding my breath almost all the way through that part
of the book. Excellent writing Charlotte Byrd, keeping me on the edge of my seat
like that. Love the lust and the love and the kinky bits. Great read and I am so
looking forward to number 4. Write faster please. I was privileged to receive an
ARC of this book and have willingly and honestly reviewed it.

This was a really intense addition to the series. Aidan and Ellie really grew to define their relationship a lot better in this book. However with their relationship becoming more permanent it leads to it affecting other aspects of their lives. Will they be able to maintain their relationship and their lives or will they slowly start to fall apart?
I personally really liked this story and I can't wait for the next addition. There is definitely more to their story and I hope that they get their HEA.

Auctioned to Him 3 continues the story of Ellie and Mr Black as they go back to the yacht. Their relationship has progressed to the point that Ellie doesn't want to be part of a second auction, unless it is with Mr Black. The following events, resulting in possible business disaster for the billionaire, allow us to see other sides of the characters and set up the next installment of the story. I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading the next book. I received an ARC for an honest review.
August 22, 2017
Wow! Did not expect that twist on the yacht! The aftermath could destroy everything. Will the truth of everything come out, and if so, what repercussion will there be? Will their relationship survive? OMG I need book four NOW!
Charlotte Byrd has done it again with Auctioned to Him 3. Great characters with a riveting story that grabs the reader and leaves us wanting more and more.

Auctioned to him 3 is book three of the Auctioned to him series. This time round the story revolves around Aiden and Ellie and Aiden's business partner Blake. It's not what you think - and could lead to Aiden becoming a billionaire no more. I really like the series but I expected the series to end in book 3 but it looks like it continues in another book. Not sure how many books are in the series - will book 4 close things out or not? Will have to wait and see!
August 23, 2017
This was a good read for me. The story is a fast paced read and I liked the characters, however I don’t find the read that dark or Mr. Black very dominant. This is an entertaining read but if you are looking for a dark read this isn’t it.
August 22, 2017
I loved this book. This is the 3rd book of the series and each has been better than the last. Ellie and Aiden are fighting to be a couple and fighting hard.
Aiden does something that could cost him his business and he tries to hide from Ellie but she will not stand for that. She tells Aiden that if they are a couple, then they are a couple thru it all. I can't wait to read the next book.

Another good read. The writing is good but I fell that something was missing in this book. I didn't feel the connection with the two main characters as strongly as in the other books. I still enjoyed reading and is a continuing series that you still want to know what happens next.

Wow. This story keeps getting better. The plot gets deeper and more complex. With each addition to this story I love it even more. Charlotte's writing continues to flow well and is easy to read. She's taken a story of smut and added a realness to the emotions...

October 24, 2021I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Charlotte Byrd...what have you done to me?? Aiden and Ellie story continues and it gets even more juicy than the two before. I've been hooked since the first book was published! I was hooked on the very first chapter of book 3 and couldn't put it down. There were a few moments where I think my heart really did stop for a minute and then I obviously calmed myself down and took a breather. HA!! I can't wait for book 4!!!!

Auctioned to Him 3
Charlotte Byrd
Surprises, romance and drama. Loved the little suspense of the auction, but I honestly want to kick someone's butt halfway through!
Ellie knows she loves Aiden. Even if he wants her to participate in the Auction again on his yacht. She really doesn't want to for fear someone will out bid him this time around. But Aiden wouldn't let that happen right? Besides her friend Caroline is going with her this time around, so at least she will have a friendly face. What more could happen?

I love buying and reading these types of books.
Boats, yachts, historical events and books about the sea are generally excellent. If there are sequels in your series, I would love to read them.
The beauties of owning the books of important authors cannot be discussed. I'm looking forward to your new books.
For friends who want to read this book, I leave the importance of reading a book here. I wish good luck to the sellers and customers...
Top 10 benefits of reading for all ages:
1. Reading Exercises the Brain
As we read, we need to remember the different characters and settings of a particular story. Even if you enjoy reading a book in one sitting, you need to remember the details during the time you devote to reading the book. Therefore, reading is an exercise for your brain that improves memory function.
2. Reading Is a (free) Form of Entertainment
Did you know that most of the popular TV series and movies are based on books? So why not indulge in the original form of entertainment by immersing yourself in reading? Most importantly, it's free with your Markham Public Library card.
3. Reading Improves Concentration and Focus
We all agree that there can be no reading without focus, and we need to concentrate on every page we read to fully understand the story. In a world where gadgets only speed up and shorten our attention span, we must constantly practice concentration and focus. Reading is one of the few activities that requires your undivided attention, so it improves your ability to concentrate.
4. Reading Improves Literacy
Have you ever read a book where you come across a word you don't know? Books have the power to improve your vocabulary by introducing you to new words. The more you read, the more your vocabulary will improve as well as your ability to communicate effectively. Also, reading improves writing skills by helping the reader understand and learn different writing styles.
5. Reading Improves Sleep
By creating a bedtime routine that includes reading, you can signal to your body that it's time to sleep. Now more than ever, we rely on increased screen time to get through the day. That's why you put your phone away and pick up a book and tell your brain it's time to calm down. Also, since reading helps you relieve stress, reading right before bed helps calm your mind and anxiety and improve your sleep quality.
6. Reading Increases General Knowledge
Books are always full of fun and interesting facts. Whether we read fiction or non-fiction, books have the ability to provide us with information we might not otherwise know. Reading various topics can make you a more knowledgeable person and therefore improve your speaking skills.
7. Reading Is Motivating
By reading books about heroes overcoming adversity, we are often encouraged to do the same. Whether it's a romance novel or a self-help book, the right book can motivate you to never give up and stay positive.

This is book 3 in the fantastic series Auction To Him by Charlotte Byrd and each episode is getting better and better as we learn more about Ellie and Aiden. He is the mysterious Mr Black who successfully bid on her at a secret auction on his yacht in the first book for just one night. In the second book he bid on her for a week. Emotions are very much established between them in this book but have been left unsaid so far. Aiden is letting Ellie into his life and sharing his thoughts as well as his body with her. She is bewitched by him and he is addicted to her. But in all good romance stories there is usually a "snake in the grass" who is going to cause trouble and in this one the "snake" is someone who seemed so charming the previous stories. Ellie is a strong woman and it is this and her courage that saves her. But like any snake it will bite back and he is a vengeful creep who decides to break Aiden. Charlotte has excelled herself in this book what could have broken them apart has just made them stronger as a unit. The growing love between Aiden and Ellie is magical to read and you see more and more of the real Aiden who is so loveable and you understand why he has done so many questionable things. The tempo in the storyline is upping it's pace and I'm sure that book 4 is going to be stupendous with a real WOW factor in their love story. Waiting impatiently for the next episode now ;) and this book is Most Definitely Recommended by me. I was fortunate enough to receive an arc of this book and I voluntarily leave my honest review of it here. Enjoy!! [[ASIN:B074ZP17KH Auctioned to Him 3: Back to the Yacht]]

I received this as an ARC --so here is my honest review:
Book 3 continues where 2 left off. The character development is great, we get to know Aiden and Ellie better, and the sex is hot & steamy! They get along just fine -- in and out of bed -- but Aiden makes the mistake of bringing Ellie back to the Yacht for another auction. He is distracted by a business phone call and things go from bad to worse from there (no spoilers). Ellie doesn't know what to do, but wants to help Aiden. His biggest investor pulls out of his company & Aiden could lose everything!
Ellie has a big decision to make and one that favors Aden. Also her future! After dinner with her mother and stepfather, who pushed law school -- Ellie rescued Aiden from a drunken stupor and he tries to salvage his company. She decided to follow her passion, and finishes her first, erotic romance novel -- of course it is about the Yacht and auction. She creates a pseudonym and now has to see how to self publish it. At this time, they both decide they love each other!
I love Charlotte Byrd 's writing, but was disappointed to find out there is a fourth book. I thought it was only a 3 book series. Yes, Ellie and Aiden have a little HEA, but I hate cliffhangers!! I will read Book 4 with the hope everything ties in there. I need to see justice for Ellie, Aiden save his company & the rest of characters -- Caroline find her love, and Blake get what he deserves, as well as Tom and Carrie, then I will be happy! I did like the book, just a little disappointed -- enough so not love it. Hopefully, Book 4 will restore my faith.

In Auctioned to Him 3 Ellie and Aiden make plans to go back on the Yacht but this time things are different as she goes to be with him and not partake in the Auction, but when she is told to be apart of the auction she thinks for sure it will be Aiden who bids on her. Both Aiden and Ellie are not sure as to the others feelings and to where they are in their relationship and if they have a real one or just having fun. This time on the Yacht everything goes wrong and they will both be pushed in other directions.
What I enjoyed most about Auctioned to Him 3 was watching them both having stronger feelings for the other but not knowing if it was the money for her or the games for him that kept them going. I enjoyed watching Ellie stick up for herself alot more and with quitting her job and focusing on her writing about her story to make her happy but what she really wants is Aiden. Seeing what Aiden would do to protect her and what he puts at risk shows his feelings for her, but still they will both be put to the test.
This 3rd book in the series is really getting good. Ellie going after what she really wants without telling many others her plans but feels she can go to Aiden about anything as he understands her, watching Aiden taking her feelings into account for everything they do and putting her first, another auction on the yacht that turns horribly wrong but what Ellie cares about is Aiden and his hard work he has done all his life, a love story. If you like stories like this, then Auctioned to Him 3 is a must!
