Frankie Love is one of my favorite authors and I simply devour her books.
This one is yet another spicy sweet Mountain Man book that she seems to just keep pulling out from somewhere inside that beautiful imagination of hers.

Ryder simply wants to protect Justine from a fate she is totally unaware of after she auctions off her V card to raise money for her favorite charity. So what does he do?

Justine feels it's her right to do what she wants with her body and since Alaska has a new law that allows the sale of sex she has decided to auction off her V card to the highest bidder to raise money for HAHA or Humans Against Harming Animals!

When Ryder and Justine first meet they are both just having a drink at the bar of the venue where the auction is taking place so when she is kidnapped after the action, she knows she has met the man before and where.
Ryder simply wants to keep Justine safe and home to her family but the chemistry is off the charts between the two of them and she finds herself unable to fight the attraction!

This book is filled with humor, spice, danger, anger and explosive attraction leading to the eventual HEA because for her "something ignited deep inside" causing "a feeling that is desperate and raw!"
Shortbread and Salted Caramel Ice Cream seem to be the favorite flavors for these 2 and they quickly realize it's gotten real!

I simply could not put this book down once I started reading it! I found myself pulled into the story and unable to turn the pages fast enough!

This is a must read so grab a copy when you can!

Auctioned Virgin: Kidnapped by Frankie love.

Great story, I am always down to read a quick romance. Justine VanDeShire just decided to auction off her virginity to save animals in Alaska. Ryder sees her on Tv and has strong feelings towards her then seeing his stepfather talk about her is a crude way leads to the only thing he can do.... Kidnap her. Things between them set each other on fire but turn to crap within seconds. With a determined Ryder he shows her who he really is and knows he will do anything to protect his love of his life, Justine.
Those mountain men always down for their true love.

Ryker is definitely one of my top Frankie Love alphas. He is brutally honest, super alpha, dirty talking alpha that you simply drool over. He is all man. Justine's attraction is oh so strong to our mountain man. Ryker's intentions change. His views change and he falls in love. Frankie definitely delivered with this as she does always.

I read this book in the middle of the night. And I read it quickly. I've got to admit it was the blurb that pulled me in. I loved the idea, and the execution was great too. I've never read Frankie Love before, but I will again in the future.

IF you're a fan of hot sex and intense passion pretty quickly, along with some action, this book is definitely one you should check out. It sort of had an Alexa Riley story feel for me, but longer.

I give this book 5 stars. I whole heartedly recommend this book. The storyline between Justine and Ryder was well written and worth the wait. It is a book about a wealthy woman who is a 24 year old virgin and wants to auction her virginity for a charity call Humans Against Harming Animals. Ryder is a wealthy him who wants to save her from his Ex-Step Father Luther who won her for 5 million dollars. A great read. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This was my first Frankie Love book and my first Exposé novel. I enjoyed this quick read and chuckled at some of the Exposé parts. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series and checking out more books by this author!

Frankie Love? I'm in.

I drop everything every time Frankie Love releases a new book and I'm never disappointed.
Ryder is the beast all beauties crave, and I'd take Justine's place in a heartbeat.
I think you can tell where I'm going with this.
Just dive in. It's THAT good.

#MoutainManYum
Well then- in true Frankie Love style, this Expose featured bearded a Moutain Man Ryder lonely jilted and ready to do whatever it takes to save the feisty Virgenes(Justine)who is auctioning herself off to the highest bidder for a couple of reasons. One: because she thinks it's time to lose that v-card, two: any monies raised will go to a cause she is passionate about. She has no idea what she has gotten herself into- but Ryder does- he may not know her personally, but he knows one of the creeps going to bid on her. His step-father Luther, who will stop at nothing to win, the depraved things he does to women are not right in Ryder's mind. Attracted to Justine, but refusing to bid on her, as an act of paying for sex- Ryder has to find another way to convince her. Yes, he is a total stranger, but Justine has to see he has her best interests at heart even if it's against her will at first.

So, I have not always been a fan of the whole "virgin" craze, and the action thing well I stray from that just because I was burnt out on them. BUT. I am a diehard #FrankieLove fan, so what she writes I read.
I am glad that I did, her books are always a treat! This one is no exception! Fast-paced, engaging storyline, sassy scenes, and uniqueness that I enjoy adding to a little bit of dark with a whole lot of saucy.
Interesting characters with an insta-all, partially frustrating romance to watch unfold. *winks* (they both drove me little nuts)
Another take me away from reality read!

4.5 stars!

Reviewing on behalf of Amo's Book Corner.

When Justine Van De Shire made a decision to auction off her virginity to the highest bidder in order to raise money for animals and their surroundings, she got a hell of a lot more than she bargained for. Kidnapped before she could make good on her end of the bargain, Justine ends up falling for her kidnapper and the feeling is obviously mutual. Her kidnapper happened to be gorgeous 'mountain man' Ryder. She falls hard and by mutual agreement, Ryder becomes the man to take her virginity from her. But he does it in the most loving and gentle way, which is so much different than what would have happened if she hadn't been kidnapped in the first place. With a couple of plot twists (which I'm not going to talk about because it would spoil the fun for future readers), I was left on the edge of my seat wondering what on earth was going to happen next.

There was lots of sex, which was hot and steamy, and lots of romance. A great little short read, which left me entertained for a few hours. I enjoyed every moment of the ride and am thrilled that I was lucky enough to be able to review it. Getting 5 stars from me, this is one that I would definitely recommend to readers who like romance stories.

When Justine came up with this plan she never expected how things would end up.

Ryder likes his life just the way it is until he lays eyes on a woman that captives him completely.

But when all is said and done, will they be able to get past the whole kidnapping thing to have something real? Or Justine walk away and never look back?

Auction Virgin: Kidnapped is a saucy, provocative read from start to finish. Ryder is a rugged, alpha male from head to toe. When he sits out to protect Justine, he does whatever it takes to make it happen. You can't help but swoon for a man like Ryder.

Justine is smart, strong willed, independent woman that knows what she wants and never backs down. I love how passionate she is about the causes she fights for.

And when the passion ignites, sparks fly off the pages. An ice cold shower or two will be needed after reading this steamy romance.

So if you are looking for a quick, sizzling, intriguing read, then I highly recommend you pick up Auction Virgin: Kidnapped and let Ryder makes all your desires come true. Just don't be surprised when you finish if you want to run off into the Alaskan wilderness looking for your own mountain man.

A fun, sexy read....

Phew this is a fun sexy read.... mountain man and a virgin Lady not an obvious match but boy does the chemistry heat up when their worlds collide...this was such an original concept with the narrative interspersed with newspaper articles written in the style of a no holds barred gossip column it was amusing and great reading...

Oh if only real life could match the imagined world of this author.... beautiful socialite with an animal conservation conscience who falls under the control and magnetic pull of a wild , fierce dirty talking alpha mountain man who knows what he wants, how to get it and how to please his woman...

Of course not everything is straightforward in this mountain romp...there are problems coming towards the couple from all angles not to mention two equally determined main characters who think they know what they want and will stop at nothing to achieve their aims...

This book had plenty of pace and entertainment value which provided me with a few hours of welcome escape ...This book was reviewed for Summer’s Eve Reads

If you are looking for a hot and steamy book; then look no further because Frankie Love has delivered just that. I loved how this book is written in a POV between Ryder Ottenbagh, Justine Van Shire, and the gossip magazine Exposè. This story made me laugh and fall in love all over again; Frankie Love did a phenomenal job writing this book.

I was shocked that Justine wanted to auction off her virginity to the highest bidder, for a charity Human Against Harming Animals. Ryder Ottenbagh is a multimillionaire who lives out in the woods of Alaska, I adored how Ryder kidnaps Justine after his step father wins the bid for her. Understandably she wants nothing to do with him at first, since he won't tell her much. I also loved how Ryder was always there to protect Justine no matter what.

This is a standalone book that grabbed my attention right away, I couldn't put it down. This is the first book I have read from Frankie Love and won't be the last.

OTT insta-lust. Justine had this "brilliant" idea to auction off her virginity to the top bidder for HAHA organization. Ryder kidnapped her so that his pervert and kinky ex-stepfather wouldn't ruin her cunt. She had this horniness after Ryder fef her vegetarian soup. The next day, the road was blocked by fallen trees after a rainstorm. She found out that his late moher was the founder of HAHA (Humans Against Harming Animals) and suspected Ryder was just jealous of Luther. When Luther came and fly her to his mansion, she almost get raped by the sixty old man leecher. Ew! Of course Ryder was the one coming to her rescue. Then without waiting for a bath to clean her after all the ruckus, they fuck bareback at Ryder's tree house. Another ew! He proposed her in front of her parents and she accepted.

Justine thinks it's a great idea to auction off her virginity thereby killing two birds with one stone - getting rid of her virginity and donating the money for a cause close to her heart. Ryder, entranced by her image on television and then meeting her in person, happens to disagree with her, especially when he sees who has the winning bid. In a desperate move, he kidnaps Justine and takes her off to his cabin in the wilderness intending to send her home the next day,still a virgin, but their mutual desires take over and falling in love is inevitable. (This is a Frankie Love romance, after all.) The writing is great, the story steamy and sweet. I loved it.

Justine wants to help the world and has decided to auction her virginity so that she can donate the proceeds to Humans Against Harming Animals (HAHA).

When Ryder sees an interview where she is discussing her plan he is instantly attracted to her but he refuses to pay a woman for sex.

When his warnings to her about one of the men bidding on her goes unheeded he decides to take matters into his own hands and kidnap her and convince her to change her mind.

This is a wonderful story of insta-love complete with a sexy mountain man and red hot chemistry. The reports from Expose were humorous. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I received the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

At first I thought this would be a dark read. I was definitely mistaken. The concept was interesting but I felt it wasn't used in the right way. The plot seemed really rushed to me. Especially the way Justine met Ryder. That whole scenario seemed odd to me. I enjoyed the hot scenes but that's the only reason I gave it three stars. I just didn't enjoy the plot as much as I hoped I would. If you like a quick and hot read this is for you. I just felt it lacked some substance. I'll try something different by Frankie next time.

Sweet- another Expose' book! I've enjoyed these.

Justine is a modern woman, finding a unique way to raise money for a cause she's passionate about. Ryder is a secret millionaire mountain man. These two kind of have a crazy story with unbelievable coincidences and lots of action, plus all the insta you could hope for! Now, I'm not a huge fan of auction books, but that was only one part of the picture and I would read anything Frankie writes. I loved the Expose' article updates, too.

I received an arc of this.

Justine decided to srll her virginity to the highest bidder and donate the money to charity to save endangered animals..but after the auction she never sealed the deal..kidnapped and spirited away in the middle of nowhere, she finds herself in the company of a rugged mountain man eho is trying to save her.
While I liked Ryder well enough, I wasn't exactly mad about Justin. She is way to erratic, changing her mind so drastically it's mad.
I enjoyed the story and it was entertaining. The idea is certainly good, I just didn't feel much for the characters.

Auctioned Virgin: kidnapped is a tawdry, tantalizing read. I love the Expose magazine articles that are written between the chapters. This novel is brimming with humour, spice, danger, bitterness, & explosive chemistry. Ryder is a pure rugged alpha male mountain man with a protective side. Justine is smart, strong-willed, independent woman with her own mind. A sweet & spicy read guaranteed to warm you up. I volunteerly reviewed an advanced reading copy of this novel.

Justine is selling her virginity for a good cause. Ryder will never pay any woman for sex. But when his mother's widowed husband is the winning bid, Ryder decides to kidnap Justine to keep her safe from the old man. What woman would not be happy to be saved by a rugged, sexy mountain man. This story had great humor, awesome sex scenes and a few twists and turns to keep the reader going. Overall, another fabulous book from a Frankie Love.

Kidnapped!

Omfg, l loved this book. Seriously I don't have any other words to describe it because my brain has turned to mush and I have melted onto my couch after reading this steamy, hot, sweet, exciting, lovable, dirty story.

Loved Justine, loved Ryder. And I mean LOVED. I would've loved an epilogue that wasn't an article. I would've loved more of their story after the wedding. Just because these two were that awesome.

Ryder can be pretty blunt and honest, "I smirk, willing to lay it all on the line. “I’m a man who is suddenly really effing horny.” Ryder is one protective man, “I’m taking my woman outside. If you need to question us, question us there. I’m not staying in this house one moment longer.” I liked this book, loved Ryder.

Somewhere in Between

I didn't love this one but I didn't dislike it either, just somewhere in between. Ryder and Justine make strange bedfellows. He is out to protect her from his wicked stepfather while she is auctioning off her virginity for the sake of the animals in Alaska. Too instantaneous love and wish the story was a bit longer.

Justine is auctioning off her virginity to raise money to save animals, but Ryder has other plans for her. Kidnapping wasn't his plan, but he had to get creative in order to keep someone from bidding on her. This was a scandalously hot read, with sexy scenes and hot action. Loved Ryder and Justine, and the wilderness setting is perfect for this wild couple!
