If Looks Could Kill… He’d Have Killed Even More People…

Jane

Would I sell my innocence to save my grandfather’s life? In a heartbeat.

My dreams of immersing myself in the world of art will have to be put on hold while I do whatever it takes to raise the money he needs for the operation.

When I turned up at the hotel to give my winning bidder what he paid for, I never expected that it would be the one man who’s been dominating my fantasies lately. I never expected what would happen next either…

Caleb

It’s not about love. She’s auctioning her innocence, but I want her for her other talents.

Maybe I should never have dragged her into my world, the underbelly of Las Vegas. Without a doubt, I shouldn’t have fallen for this girl, but I defy any man to not melt under her smoldering beauty. I had to make her scream my name, over and over again.

This novel does not disappoint. Not only is it a chickadee book, I know men will love it as well. It’s full of action packed Mafia drama, alpha men, strong, kick a** women, and a family focused story line. Oh, did I mention the scorching hot s*x scenes? Oh yeah…they are good. It is a MUST READ!!

ARC read in exchange for honest review.

I enjoyed this book immensely. It had lots to offer the reader and was an intriguing plot. I liked how there is more to Caleb than initially meets the eye; how he is underestimated throughout, but purely by design. One glance at Caleb in a seedy club, leads Jane to fantasise about him; but when she finds out he is her mystery bidder, has fate stepped in after all? This is a book I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending.

Caleb’s time in the military gave him the kind of presence that’s second nature to him now; people step aside, they pay attention and they don’t cause trouble. For everyone else in Las Vegas, this new strip club is a chance to escape all their woes, but for Caleb it is just another Saturday night; he had come to Vegas for a distraction from much bigger things, but one fight is all it had taken to get Caleb into Vegas’ underbelly. While Caleb works for the Russian mob, no one knows who he really is and it is this that makes it all the more thrilling. As much as he wants to run from his past, so much of it is the hatred he has built against himself; he has known that for a long time. Jane is wondering what she can do about her grandfather’s medical bills, but if she has to drop out of school and work full-time she will; it is the least she can do in return for what her grandparents have done for her. The job Jane takes as a waitress at an “adult” club doesn’t work out, except for the fact that for a moment she is drawn to Caleb. Jane is quite a private person, so when she gets an invitation from the IFS site, she wonders who has considered her for such a position. Jane has always wanted her first time to be with someone she truly loves and feels comfortable with, but this money can save her grandfather’s life; but at what personal cost. After weighing up the pros and cons, Jane makes her decision. Caleb’s boss, Artur “Junior” Gorsky, is young for a Don, but one look at him cannot hide the fact he is a hardened killer; yet his son Demyan, in collaboration with Castellano, a known forger, is out to humiliate him. For Caleb the thrill of hunting down an art forger is too good to resist, but he will require proof and for that he will need an escort to accompany him. On the IFS website, Caleb catches sight of Jane, recognising her as the waitress from the club. He had only seen her once, but she is one of those rare beauties a man is lucky to see only once or twice in his life. Not only is Jane an art student, an artist in her own right and an art historian, she would know better than anyone if a painting is a forgery or not. It soon becomes clear that by taking Jane to the art show, Caleb implicates her in what turns out to be a Mafia coup. Caleb gives Jane the chance to walk away from him, but as much as he wants to deny it, he doesn’t want to see her go. Dangerous or not, Jane has a decision to make, because Caleb isn’t just some innocent man mixed up in something way over his head; this is his reality, the life he chose to lead and it is filled with mystery and intrigue. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

The Enforcer🔪🔫 Meets His Fate💘

ARC received for an honest review.
This is an Erotic crime novel. The story revolves around Caleb🐺🔪🔫, working undercover in Vegas, and mobsters involved in selling art forgeries to the Russians and other wealthy unsuspecting buyers. I liked the book because there is a big story here and the romance fits into the story line in a natural, flowing way. The crime story🔪🔫 is the main part of the book📚, the romance💘 is secondary to the crimes taking place.

Caleb🐺🔪🔫 is former military, he's very tall, ripped💪, and handsome🐺, and he speaks several languages, including Russian. He's working as a Russian mafia enforcer💪🔪🔫 and a bouncer in an upscale strip joint when he overhears two Russian bouncers talking about some kind of art heist or deal. The two Russians don't realize he understands everything they say. They are dissing Caleb🐺🔪🔫, too, at the same time. Little do they know.
The club gig is just a distraction for Caleb🐺🔪🔫, he's got bigger things on his mind.
Jane 💋🎨is home from college on break between semesters. She lives with her grandparents, and her grandfather's got a bad heart💔. His heart💔 disease has drained their bank accounts. Jane💋🎨 is going to have to get a job to help pay the bills.
Jane💋🎨 is an Art major at college, she loves studying art🎨 and has become almost an expert at recognizing forgeries. But that won't help her now. Perusing ads, she finds an opening at an "adult" club for a waitress 👗. She gets the job, but hates it instantly. She's an innocent, a virgin, and she doesn't like the men grabbing at her and touching her. She has to find something else! But when she sees Caleb🐺🔪🔫, she thinks she might be able to stick it out! She ends up quitting.
A letter comes for her a few days later from a place called Innocence For Sale. When she reads it, she realizes this may be the answer to their money problems. She can sell her virginity in an on line auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars! She imagines her first lover💕 as Caleb🐺🍌🌋✋, though.
Caleb🐺🍌🌋 is working as a body guard/security🔪🔫 at a private poker party one 🌙night and he begins to overhear more about the art deal from a mobster called Castellano. It's all in French, but it sounds like it's going to be a theft by selling forgeries of expensive art🎨 to unsuspecting rich people, mainly the Russians! It will take place at a private party at a private gallery.🎨
Caleb🐺🔪🔫 decides he needs a date to the art 🎨showing in order to look legitimate. He gets on line and finds the Innocence for Sale website and is stunned when he sees Jane's picture and information on there!. When he reads she's an Art🎨 expert, he just has to have her, and out bids everyone. He thinks she's pretty 🔥hot looking too, and imagines what they will do together.
YEHAW! Ride em Bareback🍌, Cowgirl!🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

WOW, What a wonderful story. How many of you have that military or mafia fantasy. Well in this book you get a ex military guy that is working as a bodyguard in the mafia. He truly is one sexy man.

Jane was a very innocent woman. She also had a great heart. She loves her grandparents with all of there heart. It must of been hard to sit back and watch your grandparents suffer. Her grandfather was ill and her grandparents needed money for medical bills. She would do anything to help them out.

Caleb was this sexy bad boy that will just steal your heart. He was tall and very handsome. He worked for the mafia as a bodyguard and some nights he even worked as a bouncer in a nightclub. When he walked into a room the ladies swoon and the men trembled.

I tried to picture the surprise that Caleb had on his face when he found Jane on Innocence For Sale. It had to be shocking that such a shy girl would want to give up her virginity to some stranger. Caleb was needing a woman for a function and Jane was more perfect then he could ever hope for.

I love the trust that Jane had in Caleb. Here Caleb was a complete stranger but there was just something about him that pulled her in. She craved him, long for him, and wanted him more then she could imagine.

I love the fire that was building between Caleb and Jane. These two were could not help but be drawn to each other but their passion will have to wait because there is danger around the corner. I love that Caleb is willing to give Jane an out. The question is can his heart take it if she goes?

This was a great story and one I am happy I got a chance to read.

I am so loving these books by Ada Scott and now this one with Alexis Abbott. Caleb and Jane I couldn't help but fall in love with them. Caleb an enforcer for the mob but also a man who respects women, working in a club where he thwarts advances from the women who come onto him w/o a second glance and protects the ones that get into danger showing us right from the first pages he is a real man....refreshing !!
Jane needs money to help her grandparents who raised her, she's giving, kind, strong, compassionate and beautiful so when she sees she can make a lot of money by selling herself, she doesn't have to think long about it since she will do anything for her grandparents. Caleb buys her because he needs her expertise in art and from the first introduction to the end it's a ride you don't want to miss.
A read with action, danger, some suspense, lust/love, steamy but oh my sensual spine tingling scenes and a read w/o drama between them, no misunderstandings, no silly pettiness, no second guessing or thoughts, no running away or lies or secrets between them, a read that in my eyes was a perfect story that flowed beautifully with very lovable characters & that's the reason I so love these Innocence for Sale books and the reason even though I received an ARC I had to buy it.

Entertaining collaborative story between two great authors!!

I knew I was already a fan of Ms. Abbott’s writing, now I’m also a fan of Ms. Scott.

Caleb is ex-military working in security. Little do the thugs he works with know he understands their Russian comments about him. Jane is an art major, but has put college on hold to work full time to pay for her grandfather’s medical bills. Serving at a strip club is not worth the hassle, except for the handsome bouncer (guess who).

When a mysterious invitation to join ‘Innocence for Sale’ comes in Jane ultimately decides better to be with one man for enough money to solve her family’s problems than fend off the throngs at her current job. When Caleb is the one to purchase her contract she is both pleased and surprised. When he actually wants her for her brains; and takes her to an exclusive art show to look for forgeries the excitement and danger escalate.

Caleb gives Jane a chance to walk away from both the danger and her contract – and you will have to read to see what she decides. Just know that this is a sensual journey filled with danger and excitement. An excellent read!!

Jane is an art student that dropped out to make the money to pay for her Grandpa’s medical bills. She takes a job at an adult club as a waitress. Caleb is working for the Russian Mafia as an enforcer at the same adult club. They see each other and are attracted. Jane decides to sell her virginity to get the money after she quit the club. She will have spend a week with the highest bidder. Caleb sees the ad with her in it and buys her for her art knowledge. The story really takes off here. There is danger, suspense, instant chemistry, sexy scenes, and love. What has Caleb gotten Jane into? Will Jane stay with him or go home when danger is apparent? This book is so interesting and full of suspense that you can’t put it down.
Ada shows her talent with her plot that twist and turns. Then add her two dimensional characters and the book is fast paced. It will grab your attention and keep it until the last page. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest and voluntary review.

Caleb works for the Russian mob and he is suspicious about an art deal his boss is in the process of doing. Jane needs to make some money so that she can take care of her grandparents. She tried working as a cocktail waitress and that didn't work out so she joined IFS to get more money quicker. Caleb never thought when he was looking into escorts that he would come across the shy waitress that caught his eye. As luck would have it she also had knowledge about art so he went for her to help him learn if his boss was getting fake art. Things get crazy when someone catches on to what they are doing and goes after them. However what neither of them expected was that their was a big strike about to happen to Caleb's boss and now they wee in the middle of it.

This book has it all drama, car chases and hot sex. I loved it couldn't put it down once I started it. If you haven't read this series you really should start it.

Fast paced “007” and mafia action

Jane Appleton, in desperation to help her grandparent’s rising medical bills, auctions her virginity through Innocence For Sale. She’s an art student who is passionate about fine art, someday hoping to become a museum curator, but those plans are derailed when she learns of her grandfather’s deteriorating health condition. She’d do anything to help the grandparents who raised her since she was left orphaned at a young age. Jane never expected to find the handsome security guy from the club to win her auction.

Caleb Sabin is more than he appears and keeping a secret about his true identity. Since his discharge from the military, he currently works as an enforcer for the russian mob in Las Vegas. He catches wind of a plot that might turn the balance of power within the organization, and needs an escort to an art gallery with Jane’s expert eyes. He sure didn’t expect to find a beautiful, smart and determined young woman in Jane. The attraction is instant. And the sexy goodness is an added bonus.

I loved Caleb and Jane’s story, it’s action packed, fast paced and great sexy scenes. Though it skimmed over some details, it didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. Innocence For Sale.com/Jane is another great addition to the series. Wonderful collaboration from Ada Scott and Alexis Abbott.

Another well written book to add to this series by Ada Scott and then you add in Alexis Abbott and it truly is a winner. Jane is a young woman who is in need of money to help her grandparents. She feels that she owes them for making her the woman she is today. Caleb is ex-military who is now an enforcer for the mob who does have a soft side which I loved. He doesn't show it all of the time which I liked because it made him into a very strong, sexy, intriguing man who also has his faults. When Jane decides to sell herself to get the money she needs, Caleb buys her for more than just her body. He also wants her knowledge. You ask why? Well for that you are going to have to get the book. Be prepared to go on a wild ride of steamy scenes, lust, danger without any drama between. I truly is a good read. This is book 3, so if you want to look into this series, I would recommend it.

This book is a great 4 star read.
I absolutely love all of Alexis Abbott books and I'm new to Ada Scott but will definitely be looking in to her other books.
This collaboration worked really well and I'm hoping for more in the future.
This book was action packed from the very beginning and kept me highly entertained throughout.
Once I started reading Jane and Caleb's story I couldn't put it down.
From sweet innocent artist Jane to ex military mob connected Caleb this book definitely didn't disappoint.
I loved how Jane didn't back down from anything Caleb threw at her.
Which just cemented that she was his equal in every way.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend you one click it as soon as you can.

I love how the IFS books are all so different! In this one, Jane and Caleb exchange interested glances in a skeevy bar where they are both working. They actually meet when Caleb decides he needs the assistance of an escort and sees that Jane, an art major, is exactly the right person. Bad mob things happen, and while Caleb tries to figure them out, Jane claims he's got her for the week and so she bravely sticks with him. The sexual tension is strong, as Caleb sees how innocent Jane is, and he takes his time making her his. This is an exciting, action-packed story with a strong male lead and a resilient female. Can't wait for the next IFS instalment!

I loved this quick paced romance for Jane and Caleb. he sweet innocence that Jane brought to the book just helped build the excitement and make it that much better. I loved how loyal o her family Jane was and how she was willing to do just about anything for them. Caleb and his protectiveness towards all women, but Jane in particular is the best. I loved how Caleb didn't try to be the big macho man, but how he tried to blend in and only get involved if he had to and even though he is in the mafia he still tried to be a good guy looking out for the ones worth it. Ada is a new to me author and I am a veteran of Alexis's works and together they made a great team and produced a wonderful book.

3.5 stars (rounded up due to great epilogue)

I enjoyed this story and it is well worth reading but it just didn't knock my socks off. The story is well written with fleshed out characters. The way the story unfolds left me scratching my head a little (why would a man with Caleb's background, work for the mob?). I skimmed over the sexy parts, as I enjoy reading for stories more than titillation, but there aren't that many in the story. There is plenty of action and intrigue as Caleb and Jane unravel the tangled threads of the new deal Caleb's boss is putting together.

A very well written book with lot of action and drama. It has characters that are well described and develops nice through the story. There are some hot scenes and lots of chemistry.
I like it is written in dual POV which gives the reader both characters thoughts and feelings.
I like the story line and the amazing plot. This is the third book in this serie but it has a whole different story.
This story has it all; mobsters, action, drama, suspense, passion, lust, laughs, hot scenes and some unsuspected twists.
I recommend this book.

Caleb works for the Russian mob. Jane is trying to pay her grandfather’s medical bills. She decides to sell her innocence. For some reason Caleb, with his bad boy good looks and charm, Jane trusts him like no other man before. She may be innocent, but he has captivated her from their first time meeting each other. Jane brings out a fierce protective vibe from Caleb. He wasn’t sure about bringing her into the business. Now he will do anything to protect. Grab this sweet love story between two people you would not expect to be together. This is a page-turner from the beginning and you will love it!!

Ada Scott has another winner. This was a well written book that was fast paced and action filled. Caleb works for the Russian mob in Vegas. They don't realize that he speaks and understands Russian. He tries to foil some of their bad plans. Jane, a college student was desperate to raise money for her grandfather's medical bills and as a last resort offers her innocence for sale. She is purchased by Caleb and their attraction is over the top. A lot of suspense and twists will keep you page turning. Throw in art forgeries, crimes,the Russian mob and so much more. A great book. I received an advance reader copy and voluntarily chose to review it.

When Jane is in need of immediate cash, she does the only thing she can think of. Caleb needs someone to help him figure out what is going on with his boss. Caleb never meant for her to get involved. Will Caleb be able to reach his boss before it is to late? Will Jane accept everything that Caleb is?

Definitely a steamy read. Loved that there was more to this than just them jumping into bed together. Thought Jane was crazy for staying with him, multiple times, lol, but I think in the end that she proved love can conquer. Loved how Caleb did the right thing when it came time to think about a future with Jane. Definitely recommend reading the other books in the series also!

I felt Caleb and Jane's chemistry from the start. They were hot and steamy, in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of Alexis Abbott now I'm a huge fan of Ada Scott. I hope they work together again in the future. I liked this author team. Between Ada Scott and Alexis Abbott the bad boy was still there. Suspense was still there. In my opinion I have read similar books, I was okay with that. I thought this was pretty good, I was entertained and enjoyed it. My complaint is I wanted a little more sex. Overall I thought it was an easy quick read. I received an ARC edition for my honest and voluntary review.

Initially the story seems a typical Mafia bodyguard, a woman who is in need of money selling her virginity. The typical storyline ends there. This happy ending story brings in lots of other romance genre elements of a man with intelligence, military background, money and woman with education, intelligence and bravery. There is suspense, steamy sex scenes and romance on top of that. The only slight negative side to this story is that it tries to include too many of the good things into one story. These elements do work out, but everything seems little rushed.

This is the third book in the InnocenceForSale.com series. This book can be read as a stand alone. This is Jane and Caleb's story. The setting, Las Vegas, the dirty side, the dangerous side... Love that Ada brought some serious danger into this book in addition to the sizzling chemistry between Jane and Caleb. This book kept me reading past my bedtime!

I received this book in advance for a voluntary honest review. Loved this book! Two of my fave authors collaborate to make a great book. To help her grandparents pay for a lifesaving procedure Jane agrees to auction her virginity on IFS. Caleb is a reluctant trust fund guy with a military career and is a mafia enforcer. Needing a date to an art event to suss out forgers he bids in Jane. Instant attraction sparks a electric romance. When the mafia comes after them Caleb will do everything to protect Jane. Loved it! Steamy, dangerous and great writing!

Another great read from Ada Scott and Alexis Abbott. I love these two separately as authors and they're really great together as well. I loved the plot. While the main plot is the same with each in the series, our main characters go through different scenarios. The story-line flowed smoothly throughout. I loved both characters. They were well-developed and easily relatable. It was action packed throughout. The only downfall was it was too-fast paced and rushed towards the ending. It left me wanting more!

Good story, with a good storyline.

Another exciting and suspenseful read from Ada Scott and Alexis Abbott. I love the mix of action and hotness that definitely kept me turning page after page. The chemistry between Jane and Caleb was crazy hot.
When Jane is in desperate need for money to help her sick grandfather, she will go through any lengths to get the help he needs. Even if that means selling her virginity to the highest bidder.
Really enjoying this series and can't wait to see what Ada come up with next for the IFS crew.

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

This book has great dialog and twists. Only complaint I have is that it's not longer. Truly recommend it. Had to finish it in one-go.

Having read both of the previous books I have to say it's a tight race between this book and the previous book on which is better. All three books are complitely different and original and only bind together by the website innocenceforsale. Which means that they can all be read as stand-alones.
