Aiden and Ellie’s relationship continues to grow and their feelings for each other get stronger. Will their budding love survive the possible downfall of Aiden’s company and the resulting fallout? We will find out more in the next installment!

Received this book as an ARC, in exchange for a honest review.

This book continues the story of Ellie and Aidan. Aidan is trying to fight back on the financial problems caused by a spiteful ex-investor and Ellie is working on launching her career as an author.

Read it twice in a row in a matter of days. (Was so eager to see how it all went that I speed-read it the first time.) Really love these two characters and the development of their relationship from one night to one week to no-more-time-limits-needed.

PS. Tom and Carrie totally deserve each others. Both are equally insecure and cover it with judgemental and passive aggressive behavior.

I received an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I've loved these novellas up until this latest one. Yes there is drama, yes there is some steamy sex scenes. For me though it felt lacking. This latest installment seemed more like fluff to fill in the time. Nothing major really happened. There is a hint and a promise that something might but other than that it didn't keep my attention as well. I'm still looking forward to the next installment and what happens between Ellie and Aiden.

Awesome story. Aiden and Ellie's story continues in this book. Aiden's business is not doing well. He is dark inside and fighting demons. Ellie and his love for her is the only light in the dark for him. Is there light at the end of the tunnel for Aiden's problems? Cannot wait for book 5.

Well now Ellie has finished writing her romance novel and is self publishing. Aiden comes over to Ellie professing his love and wanted exclusivity. Ellie knows that Aiden is having a terrible time with his business as the investors are jumping ship and Ellie can't go to the police about Blake is because then they would find out about the auctions on Aiden's yacht.

Tom, Ellie's ex who is engaged asked her to the engagement party that his fiancée parents home in Maine. His fiancée is actually Ellie's old boss that she calls the ice princess. Ellie tells Tom that she would attend and bring Aiden with her and her roommate and her boyfriend.
Aiden decides to go with her also because Tom's soon to be in-laws
are major investors and Ellie tells him that maybe he could get them on board with his company.

They go to away to Maine for the weekend to attend the party. Meanwhile Aiden goes in to talk to ice princess's father. Ellie wanted to take a walk and winds up in the garden. Tom comes over to her and tries to kiss her, Ellie tells him to stop and then he tells Ellie he wants her. But, that was never going to happen so Tom starts yelling that she is a horrible writer and he hopes her book fails. Ellie flees to the cottage that they are staying in and sees that her make up is a mess and she really doesn't want to go back to the party. When all of a sudden Aiden walks in and sees Ellie really upset. They talk and she tells him about Tom but not to make a big deal out of it. Aiden does have some good news to tell Ellie. Mr.warrenhouse is thinking about investing in Aiden's company and he knows about all the investors dropping out.

WOW - as I read the BLURB I figured out that I needed to read the prior books in order to read this one, so I am a few days late posting this review, but oh boy am I glad that I did. I simply LOVE these books and can´t really wait for the next book. This is like the books written by Grace Goodwin on intersteller brides program I can´t wait for the next book. To wait for a month!!!! Oh wow. This series is absolutely captivating and Charlotte Byrd is absolutely my newest favourite author!!!!!! I just wonder where on earth do authors such as her come up with these ideas they have and then manage to put them down in a literary way and correct order and make them into such fantastic series like this one of Auctioned to Him ... I must just say that if you like romances that will draw you in and make you forget about the world around you for some time - you should definately read these books - all of them, starting with the first one, and how I will hope that you enjoy them as much as I did. They just have it all, they are captivating, they are fun, all the characters so far have been plausible and believable, the +18 scenes, the love, the difficulties, and all the rest it is there. So if there were like seven stars all of these books would get them!!!

Character’s Descriptions:
Ellie is in a financial bind and does not know how to get out of it until one of her friends informs her that the party they are going to is one where all the females will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Aiden Black is a billionaire and from the moment he sees Ellie he wants her but for more than just the night.

What I liked/Didn’t Like: This is a continuation from book 3 and finds Ellie and Tom more talked about that Her and Aiden. However, it also finds Ellie wanting to help Aiden out if he would just let her. I liked this book and would have given it 5 stars but I really hate cliff hangers so I only gave it four stars. I would recommend it to anyone who loves dark romance and cliffhangers.

his book is just as awesome as the 3 before. The continuation of the story starts back in the city. Aiden’s business The Owl is going belly up because of his fight with Blake to keep him from raping Ellie. Blake was also a partner in the business. He has turned several of the investors again Aiden. Ellie and Blake’s story continues from here. The book contains twist,sexy scenes, jealousy, elation, depression, self doubt, and love. What will happen to Blake’s business? Can he save it? Will Ellie finish her book? Will it be received well? Can she help Blake? How serious is their relationship? Grab part 4 and find out. It is not the end. Part 5 is coming soon.
Charlotte once again takes her plot and intertwines her characters to bring the story to life. She adds a few shockers to add to the reading experience. I can’t wait for book 4. I am captivated and you will be too.

Another great installment in this Auction series.
Once again I was immediately engaged and remained that way until the end of the story. The author is very skilled at putting together a very enticing storyline and keeps the scenes flowing nicely throughout.
The characters are well developed and and unique. The protagonists, Ellie and Aiden continue to explore and grow their relationship which is what I continue to root for since book one. The antagonist, Tom is sleazy and that's what I want in jerk. And Caroline is forever bubbly and full of energy. She is Ellie's Id.
I highly recommend this installment and the previous three for your reading pleasure. This is one of the best series I've read in a long time. Enjoy!

This is the fourth installment of the Auctioned to Him series. This continues after the incident on the yacht and Aiden's company is in some serious trouble. He is losing investors faster than anything and is not sure what to do. Ellie in the meantime is focusing on her work since Aiden will not communicate with her. She finishes her first Erotic romance and self publishes it. She really wants to help Aiden but is clueless what might work. As their relationship starts to grow will they be able to keep it together despite all the issues? Will a chance invite to an engagement party solve come problems or create more? Will Aiden be able to save his company? Won't know until the next installment.

Make sure to read this from book one or you will be lost. I voluntarily wrote this review from an advanced reader's copy of the book.

A great addition to the Auctioned to Him series. This book is more of a continuation of the series and almost more like it’s setting the stage for the next big thing to happen. I didn’t think there was any real drama or angst in this book. Yes, there is a little issue with Ellie and Tom, but she handles that for the time being. Aiden is trying to figure out what to do with the fallout from Blake pulling out of OWL and what his next steps need to be. I didn’t see the alpha Mr. Black and missed him. I felt this book mainly dealt with Ellie and her finishing her book and self-publishing, and the events in Maine. Wondering what will happen with the connection Aiden made with Carrie’s father? Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Auctioned to Him 4: His Addiction

By Charlotte Byrd
Main Characters: Aiden (aka Mr. Black) and Ellie
I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

4 1/2 out of 5 stars

This review was a little hard to write because I have only read the 1st and now the 4th book of this series. If I get a chance to read books 2 and 3 I will revisit and edit my review. I really enjoyed book one and was enjoying book four but finding out that I missed a bit in the other two books had me scratching my head at what happened and how did they get to this point. Still, I loved the premise. Ms. Byrd kept me in suspense and wanting now to read the other two books and then wait for number five. Hot, steamy, sexy characters. Would definitely recommend this series to everyone.

Oh my gosh, we left Aidan and Ellie recovering from him rescuing her from the attempted rape by his ex-so-called-friend now rival Blake. Their altercation has strengthened the relationship between Aidan and Ellie but Blake is now determined to destroy Aidan's company, Owl. meanwhile, Tom, her old crush who is now engaged, is back on the scene trying to win Ellie back. No Mr Black to dominate the scenes at all in this book but, I expect he will be back in the next book ready to fight Blake and win! [or, at least, I hope he is ;)] Fabulous story that is just improving by each episode. Charlotte Byrd has created such a storyline that is a winner without doubt! I look forward to book 5.

I REALLY love this series, so of course, was super excited to be able to read book 4….I just wish weasel Tom wasn’t in it so much. I understand every sentence can’t just be about Aiden and Ellie, but I never liked Tom from the beginning and I wish Ellie would kick him to the curb already as she doesn’t need his relationship. Of course, now Aiden might need it (kinda sorta). I love Ellie and Aiden together and can’t wait until book 5…..Wish it was ready already! It was wonderfully written and I didn’t even realize I was so involved with it until I was done….and was disappointed because I wanted MORE. Great book!

In this continuation to the "Auctioned to Him" saga book #4 finds Aiden frantically trying to find a way to salvage his tanking company from Blake's evil manipulations. He is opening up to Ellie and there bond is slowly developing into a special everlasting love. Ellie has self published her first book which is modeled after her experiences on the yacht. What has me puzzled is why Tom (Ellie's friend) is figuring so much into the storyline? And now for the cliffhanger.........Could Aiden have found a way out of his financial woes? Stay tuned for the next (way to short) installment. I received an advanced readers copy of this book and voluntarily gave my review.

As the titel says this is the fourth in this series. In this version book one is included as a bonus.
I like this story about Ellie and Aiden (Mr. Black). Aiden has financial problems in his business and Ellies writing carrier is taking off. I like that the characters still develop and that their relationship is getting stronger. Their chemistry is still over the top and they have to find a solution to their attraction. A great story line and nice plot. I would how ever like to know the ending soon. I am born curious.

I've been loving this series as Ellie's and Aiden's relationship develops. This installment felt not really lacking but maybe incomplete or like a placeholder for a more exciting installment to come. This picks up where part 3 left off and now Aiden's company is at risk after Blake's attempted rape of Ellie. Meanwhile her career is taking off. There are alot of smexy bits a plenty that this writer does so well. I'm really waiting for my strong alpha bad a$$ Mr Black to come back in the next book. Recommended for the mature reader.

This is Book 4 of the ongoing saga of Aiden (Mr. Black) and Ellie. Sadly, Mr. Black was nowhere to be seen in this installment, but we saw a lot of Ellie and Tom's former relationship and the angst that still exists between them. Aiden is explored a bit more in this chapter of the series, both as an individual and now as Ellie's "Boyfriend" as he is calling himself. And now I'm looking forward to seeing more of he and Mr. Black in the next book!

This is my review of an exclusive copy I received. Book 4 of Auctioned to Him just gets better with each book. Charlotte Byrd steps up her writing each time as the story becomes more involved with Aiden and Ellie’s relationship. Tom who was her best friend tries it on again with Ellie he just doesn’t felt the message Ellie now realises her long term friendship with Tom was just an illusion.simply put this series is brilliant, perfectly written with a really good storyline. Looking forward to reading book 5.

Auctioned to Him 4!!!
Auctioned to Him Series, is probably one of my top 20, maybe top 10 series I've had the pleasure in reading.
Word to the masses: READ FROM BOOK ONE. To see why this is a great series.
I originally had voluntarily received an advanced copy of this book, even though I had trouble with my ereader. Waited, and I went through my KU account and read it. It was worth the wait.
I'm looking forward to seeing Book 5. And if you don't have a KU account you need to get one and read all of Charlottes books...

I'm loving this series. In book 4 we find Aidan (Mr. Black) dealing with the ramifications of his altercation with Blake. Tom and Ellie's friendship is tested by Tom's actions. It definitely ended with me wanting to find out what happens next. Looking forward to book 5. I'd like to see more intimate moments between Aidan & Ellie, they have such a deep love for each other and their chemistry can be off the charts. Highly recommend this series, you need to start with book 1 to fully understand what's going on.

OK, SO THIS WAS A SHORT READING (too short for my liking) and I definitely need to know more
Ellie and Aiden is still trying to know each other, Although they have declared their love for each other, and Unfortunately Aiden is still struggling with his business survival.
Too much is going between Tom and Ellie, it seems that he is really a jealous one, now that she fined her own love.
It was well written and had great flow. Can't wait for next one!

A wonderful series, this book is totally engaging, even if there is more story to be told. I highly recommend reading this as part of the series, however this is wonderful regardless. For those familiar with this set of tales, the focus is more on Tom and Ellie, etc., but I was still fully engaged. I can't wait for Aiden and Ellie to steal the spotlight back in the next book. The writing is smooth, characters all remain top notch, and I cannot wait to see what comes next. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.

Another edition of Aiden and Ellie. As their relationship progresses Aiden is facing enormous business challenges after the fiasco on the yacht. They define their relationship further with labels and announce it to Ellie’s friends. Still filled with sexy encounters but less romance as Aiden’s focus is diverted to his business. Looking forward to the next installment.

Aiden and Ellie is back. Aiden is in the fight of his life to save his company from a vindictive ex-partner. Ellie is writing her first book and dealing with her own insecurities. But they are in love and standing by each other. Or will they? There is somebody trying to come between them.

Will their love get them through this mess? Read the book to find out. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed for an ARC of this book.

I am giving my review as an ARC reader.

I love the fact that we get to see a side of Aiden that shows he can be affraid and still be an alfa.
I love that Ellie self published her book. It gave me insight to what self publishing authors go through.
I cant wait to see what Tom got up his sleeve though. Hmmm. Cant wait for the next book to come out. There are a few unanswered questions that leave you hanging.
