No me ha gustado. Me ha chirriado la poca atención a los detalles a la hora de describir a la protagonista y su mejor amiga, que cambian de color de pelo y altura en diferentes escenas, que Mr Black pase de ser un dom archimillonario -llámame señor- a un tipo inseguro y complaciente, pero sobre todo que la protagonista acepte el dinero pero no lo que eso conlleva y en lo que la convierte.

Spoiler: Un@ no es una puta o un puto por gustarle el sexo y practicarlo mucho con parejas diferentes, lo es por cobrar por ello. ¿Cuán sana puede ser una relación cuando los dos hablan de amor pero uno sigue pagando por ello y la otra aceptando el dinero?

Paso mucho de leerme los siguientes.

First of all this book is a re-issue of Ms Byrd's Auctioned to Him series - I think it covers the first two books thereof.
This in general isn't an issue for me. Authors do this all the time. They make new covers even change the title sometimes. What I have issues with on the other hand is that nowhere in the blurb was this fact mentioned. So consider this information as due diligence service not coming from the author unfortunately but from an ARC reader. I don't think I can identify with such marketing tricks.
Considering this being a re-issue the number of grammar and editing issues were also a problem for me. I think for a second go those should have been also worked out.
It really is a pity as the writing itself wasn't bad at all. The characters and the plot have potential. Ends in a cliffhanger so even without the above mentioned issues I wouldn't have given more than 3 stars.
I received an advanced readers' copy and posted my review voluntarily.

Not good

First Ellie had long dark hair and then at the end she talks about having short blonde hair. Writing was immature and too much. Didn’t leave much to the imagination. Mr.Black wasn’t at all dark and dangerous but seemed young and juvenile. Not reading the rest of the serious.

Spanish:
Si estáis buscando un libro caliente, sexy y muy picante, con un poco rasgos de BDSM este es vuestro libro. Según me he informado después de leer el libro, previamente la autora saco una serie Auctioned to Him que contiene tres libros que más o menos se incluyen dentro de este libro. Si los habéis leído ya os podéis saltar al segundo libro. También tiene en esta saga una precuela Black Tease que según tengo entendido llega al capitulo 16 mas o menos.🤔

Esta novela gira entorno a Ellie una periodista que quiere ser escritora. Su mejor amiga y compañera de piso recibe una invitación a una fiesta privada en un yate y deciden ir, donde se encontraran con numerosos ricachones y personas con mucho poder. Allí se le da la oportunidad de ser subastada para pasar una noche de sexo con su comprador, cuando conoce al señor Black Aiden Black, un misterioso multimillonario Playboy y propietario de OWL. Aun así no todo es Ellie y Aiden, también hay una ex-esposa, intereses amorosos fallidos...

Recibí una ARC y os comento que fue una historia interesante y muy rápida. La primera mitad del libro se centra en el periodo de ir a la subasta y su noche se pasión, la otra mitad es cuando Ellie vuelve a la vida real. El libro avanza y la autora otorga detalles y mas narración para que el libro no sea tan soso. Me gusto que Ellie ganara confianza en si misma y se diera cuenta de lo que en realidad quería, pero en cuanto a Aiden me faltan muchos detalles, ya que ademas el libro es contado por la perspectiva de Ellie y solo hay tres capítulos desde la perfectiva de Aiden. Aun así no puedo esperar a seguir leyendo y ver como avanza la historia.

If you are looking for a hot, sexy and very spicy book, with a bit of BDSM this is your book. As I have informed after reading the book, previously the author took a series Auctioned to Him that contains three books that more or less is included in this book. If you have read them and go to the second book. She also has in this saga Black Tease prequel that I understand ends in chapter 16 more or less.🤔

This novel revolves around Ellie a journalist who wants to be a writer. Her best friend and roommate receives an invitation to a private party on a yacht and they decide to go, where they will meet numerous rich people and people with a lot of power. There she is given the opportunity to be auctioned to spend a night of sex with her buyer when she meets Mr. Black Aiden Black, a mysterious Playboy billionaire, and owner of OWL. Even so, not everything is Ellie and Aiden, there is also an ex-wife, failed love interests …

I received an ARC and I told you that it was an interesting and very fast story. The first half of the book focuses on the period of going to the yacht and her passionate night, the other half is when Ellie returns to real life. The book advances and the author give details and more narration so that the book is not so dull. I liked that Ellie gained confidence in herself and realized what she really wanted, but as for Aiden, I lack many details, cause in addition the book is told by Ellie's perspective and there are only three chapters from the perfective of Aiden. Even so, I can not wait to continue reading and see how the story progresses.

Black Edge, by Charlotte Byrd. If you haven’t read a Charlotte Byrd book, then you should start now. I loved Black Edge so much. I was instantly hooked. I didn’t find the story boring or bland. It has the exact recipe for a spicy erotic romance book. The drama nor the plot is written about a person’s “whoa is me” life, which I absolutely loved. For me the book was easy to read. I definitely was able to follow along with the story line. I found the erotic romance story very entertaining and a delight to read.
As I read the story, I couldn’t help but like all the characters involved. Each character brought their own stories that allowed the reader to become more familiarized with them. This also gave the reader a chance to see what role that character would play in the book. The drama wasn’t to heavy, but it did bring all the anticipation and suspense that a well written romance novel would have. Aiden and Ellie are two people who I would alway love read as my erotic couple. Aiden, I instantly fell hard for his character. Charlotte description of his body had me salivating to run out and find my own Aiden. He comes on scene as a smooth, easy going dominant who exudes power without even trying. I so loved reading about his dirty mind. Yes, please, hang me from a swing and show me pleasure that I have never experienced before “sir” or “Mr. Black”.
The sensual, hot, illicit, climactic heights he took Ellie to was the most pleasure that any reader would love to read about. Ellie’s character, is not a weak minded woman. Thank you for that Charlotte Byrd. Ellie is about women’s right’s and that a woman doesn’t need to rely on a man to be successful or get what she wants out of life. Ellie wanted Aiden for fun and pleasure.
She didn’t expect him to give her a lot more than that. I recommend this book with two snaps and a, Caroline! Take that stuff to your bedroom. I’m trying to drown myself in a ice cream induced coma. Until next time my fellow readers... read on!

Meh...
I'm not sure what everyone loved about this book. The male lead was so lame & the love story was not believable. The male lead actually said, "I have 7% body fat." When the female lead mentioned he was no stranger to the gym. It was stellar lines like that that pushed me into a 2 star rating. The sad thing is I guess this is a retelling of her "Auctioned by Him" series so I was assuming the author would have improved the series, what a shame! Unless this was an improved version...eek!

Fatal, horrible.
No hay por donde coger este libro. No se salva NADA, ni argumento, ni personajes, ni diálogos...
Es una novela machista, ilógica. HORROR!

It's very Fifty with a twist. Cute, sexy, angst-y at the end. Cliffhanger. I would have read the next one if part of KU but...

[R · Rating 1 out of 5]

Where do I even begin?
Let's start with an interview I listened to, featuring Charlotte Byrd. She basically made it sound like she chose romance and self-publishing because of the success of 50 Shades and the romance genre as a whole. For money. There was literally nothing about how she loves romance, writing, and was inspired to put her own stories out there. I've read this and Tangled Up In Ice. Both feature a billionaire leading man (in her own words, she writes billionaire romances...nothing wrong but...ok) and a writer leading lady....who live in an apartment they share with their supposed best friend (more on that later).
The writing, characters and pace are all fucking flat. She (Charlotte) puts in the bare minimum of effort. I wish I didn't have to say this but it's true and I'm not going to lie.
You can mock the Fifty Shades trilogy and even the 365 Days film (Which I hated but still want to read them whenever they plan on being released in English)....Are they the best? No. But you know what both of those romance stories had? EFFORT. And the authors genuinely love the story they are writing and have put their hearts into it. Byrd? It's like she just typed it all up in one night and popped it out there.
Ellie? Dark-haired, self-conscious, NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS...WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!?
Her supposed best friend Caroline? Thin, blonde, and pretty. Oh but shallow because...she's what I just mentioned, as well as rich, and sexually liberated? She enjoys dressing up, make-up, that sort of thing? Piss off. I have seen this way too many times where the lead has a 'best-friend' but describes her as shallow, she's written as shallow, the main character's narration SHITS ALL OVER HER BUT HAS NO PROBLEM STEALING FROM HER FUCKING CLOSET. HEY. I THOUGHT SHE WAS TOO SKINNY AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF WEIGHT BUT SOMEHOW YOU CAN FIT INTO HER STUFF? AND TAKE IT WITHOUT ASKING!? YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE. AND YOU HAVE THE GODDAMN NERVE TO SUDDENLY, NEAR THE END, PROCLAIM YOURSELF A FEMINIST. DO A LOT OF THEM EAT EACHOTHER LIKE SHARKS? YES. BUT THE GOOD ONES, THE ONES WHO PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTHS ARE, SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
What other tropes were fisted into this thing? (No pun intended).
-"I've never told anyone that before" (You've known her, literally bought her at a sex auction, for 30 MINUTES. HAS IT EVER OCCURED TO YOU SHE MIGHT JUST BE A SELFISH GOLD-DIGGING WENCH WHO COULD LITERALLY SPILL HER GUTS TO THE PRESS? WERE THERE NDA AGREEMENTS AT THIS YACHT PARTY? IDK, I CAN'T REMEMBER.)
-"I don't know why but I just feel like I can tell you anything."
-No one's ever done anything like this for me before (Well, of course not honey, not everyone is super-rich enough to rent out an entire library. Do you mean no one has ever put this much thought or care into doing something nice for you? If so, I think you need to re-evaluate several things, yourself included. Why don't you swallow your pride and GET THERAPY!?)
Look. It's late. I finished The Bachelorette episode. I'm stressed about the election, my mother, and several other things. I'm tired. I will be continuing with Byrd's work, if only so I have something to rant about. I hope it gets better. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

Corto y fácil de leer, para pasar el tiempo no está mal.

[Michael K · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ehhh--it's...not great. And I don't have nice feelings about it. So only read on if you want dark thoughts.

I liked Fifty Shades of Grey. I was a huge supporter of the books to friends and fam when they came out. They had solid characters, plot, vocabulary, and function. But; I'm also, typically, not a huge fan of billionaire romances. I actually go out of my way to avoid them...so maybe I'm not the demographic for this book. BUT, since I advocated for the SoG series, I was all "well, why not, sounds similar."

And it's not the same, but in all the worst ways. The main protagonist is smarmy. She's constantly in flux and I don't feel the narrative establishes her personality. She's kinda' a thoughtless, slightly whiny, holier-than-thou because I'm differenter-than-thou heroine. Snobbery like that just...gets me. Yes, she evolved a LITTLE bit by the end of this cliffhanger (also like the SoG, this is a multibook romance)...but I don't feel like the evolution was really genuine. It felt like a plot point that had to be addressed somehow, but the author didn't know how to integrate it. Which was distracting and dismaying at the same time. I also laughed a little, because she somehow went from being brown haired to blonde without any mention of a hair appointment. Not sure how you write a whole book about a character and not maintain something as basic as her appearance throughout. That's just lazy writing.

I did not enjoy either of the two offered sub-characters, and the hero felt very...much like window-dressing. All flare with no panache, all operating on one dimension. I'm not sure what the overall goal was with this book. It felt like an excuse to flex brand and author knowledge, with more enthusiasm for the craft of writing, then the excellence of a well-paced story.

Not a fan. I won't be finishing this series, it's just too much of a wanna'be of pre-existing romances. I'm not sure the execution is flattering.

Aiden, il signor Black, si aggiudica una notte con la bella Ellie, ad un' asta particolare, fatta ad hoc per incontri di questo genere. Aiden è un uomo dolce e gentile, premuroso, mentre nel privato e nella vita intima, è autoritario, esigente e dominatore.
Nulla di nuovo insomma, da alcune pratiche Bdsm all' utilizzo dell 'altalena,fino ai ricordi di estrema povertà di lui, costretto a volte a dormire a terra visti gli innumerevoli sfratti. Questo primo libro termina con l' invito a partecipare ad una nuova asta sul famoso yatch dove si è svolta la prima.

Overall I enjoyed this story. My only thing is that if you plan on reading this then you should just skip reading Black Tease. The story is the whole first chunk of the book. However, I did still enjoy reading this and seeing how everything went after the auction. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I hope that everything will turn out good for them in the end.

Me gustó la trama hasta que llegué al final, me quedé con ganas de saber como finaliza, desconocía que era la primera parte de no se biología o trilogía. Fue un error mío no cotejar que tenía continuación en otro u otros libros. La historia te atrapa, realmente te desconcierta no piensas que ella no se prestará a una subasta, pero si se presta y le gusta. Raro no! La compañera de cuarto es más abierta en el sexo que ella. Bueno, sepan de e trata que son dos o más libros. Que son correlativos, sabiendomedo lo disfrutarán!!!

[Lorena Moreno López · Rating 1 out of 5]

La verdad es que no hay por donde cogerlo: construcción y desarrollo de personajes nefastos, trama insulsa y final que no es final.

La protagonista desde un principio va de empoderada y dejando muy claro que ella no hace lo que los demás digan, sino lo que ella crea y quiera. Sin embargo, unos capítulos más tarde se le propone participar en una subasta con la finalidad de que un hombre la compre y haga con ella lo que le dé la gana durante una noche entera y acepta casi sin pensarlo (se intenta justificar dicha decisión, pero las razones son muy débiles dado el carácter de lo que se está jugando).
Lo que me irrita es que se supone que ella tiene sentimientos por otro personaje pero en cuanto se acuesta con el señor Black ya no siente absolutamente nada por la otra persona. Así por arte de magia, sin ningún tipo de desarrollo.

Le dan al protagonista masculino una historia trágica que te cuentan en un capítulo y con lo que se supone que has de empatizar. Pero no.
Ni siquiera resulta atractivo.

La relación entre los dos protagonistas es TAN TAN inverosímil que cuando llegas al final del libro es imposible creerse que se están enamorando. Imposible.
Ni siquiera las escenas de sexo se salvan en este libro. Mientras las leía no me decían nada, mi cabeza se iba a otra parte y tenía que releerlas.

Para terminar, la novela no parece tener un desenlace. Por lo menos mi impresión ha sido que se ha contado una historia que no sabía muy bien hacia donde se dirigía y que, en mitad del nudo, se termina para intentar dejar con curiosidad y leer el segundo de inmediato. Pero ni por asomo tiene ese impacto.

Sintiéndolo mucho he tenido que darle una estrella y porque no puedo darle menos. No suelen disgustarme mis lecturas y por regla general siempre saco algo positivo, pero con esta ha sido imposible.

I am so very sorry, but I just couldn’t get in to this book. Charlotte only goes along to keep her friend company after she is invited to an exclusive party, which is based on an awesome yacht. Whilst there they are introduced to the fact that they are there to participate in a auction, selling themselves for one night for rich men to do as they wish.
She goes long with this, yet her friend decides not to do this. She is bought by a mysterious buyer and it turns out to be the organiser Mr Black. I just found her rude ad very childish, not at all submissive. She’s tied to a bed, and Mr Black does do minor things to her whilst she blind folded, then she gets annoyed, he releases her, then there’s a bizarre scene where they watch paid staff having sex in another room. I felt Mr Black was very week and she was far to petulant.
I couldn’t warm to the characters or the book, ad I am so sorry, as I hardly ever not finish a book, but I was disappointed by the book.
I may Ben wring and should give it longer, but it just got on my nerves for some unknown reason.

I enjoyed this but felt like i wanted more from the plot, and more from the characters. I will certainly be moving onto the next book in this series , and hope it provides a little more of what I'm looking for.

A sensuously STRONG FIVE-STAR recommendation! A MUST-READ erotic romance
OMG - Charlotte Byrd tells a wonderful story in “BLACK EDGE”. The characters are rich, realistic and well-developed and the plot is compelling and downright sensuous . . . Ellie is my favorite type of heroine: a quiet introvert who is enough of a perfectionist that she doubts she will ever attain the standards to which she holds herself. And her crazy free-spirited roommate Caroline pushes her to get out and experience life. There is just enough angst to help the reader understand Ellie and fall in love with her as she grows and changes through the course of the novel! After the first few chapters, the question of, “Who is this mysterious and sexy Mr. Black?” was foremost in my mind. And near the end, when Caroline decides to . . . Oh, I can’t spoil that for you. Guess you’ll have to read the novel! 😉If you read the prequel “BLACK TEASE” you understand that question, and if you want to know the answer, I strongly suggest you read Charlotte Byrd's “BLACK EDGE”, TODAY! Happy pages! 😉

OMG!!! Charlotte Byrd has done it again with Black Edge!! I was definitely hooked on this book too. This was another very quick read because I couldn’t put it down! Black Edge is the second part of Mr. Black and Ellie’s story. She is going to spend one night with the elusive Mr. Black. She does things with him that she never would have tried before and enjoys herself. However, she also gets a chance to begin discovering the real Mr. Black. Mr. Black finds himself in a peculiar predicament because he doesn’t understand the insane attraction and need to be with Ellie. He struggles with how to handle these emotions while trying to continue in a real relationship with her. She struggles with reconciling the dominant Mr. Black with the gentle Aiden Black...she’a falling for him, but is unsure of how to navigate his world. The book ends with another cliffhanger...another invitation, a yacht party, and an auction. Can Ellie believe in the fact he wants only at this auction of beautiful women?

[Carole-Ann · Rating 1 out of 5]

Whoa... going on a yacht with a friend not knowing what's going to happen... then FFS allowing herself to be "auctioned off" is a no-no of a story.

Read it through and thought it a waste of time. The "hero" was NO hero!

Antes: Gracias Charlotte Byrd, por contactar y brindarme una copia de tu novela para una lectura anticipada.

Me gusto y me ha sorprendido, me esperaba un romance totalmente oscuro, perverso, desbordante... pero ha sido una historia suave con uno que otro matiz de perversión... a lo que voy:

Caroline, la amiga de nuestra protagonista, Ellie, ha estado esperando por un tiempo la invitación a una fiesta de la que solo se habla entre la gente de altas esferas, y cuando esa invitación llega Caroline convence a Ellie de que debe acompañarla, salir un poco de su vida calmada y rutinaria.
Ellie se adentrará en un mundo de exclusividad, donde el mayor postor se lleva a la chica... En ese mundo Ellie conoce al Sr. Black, quien ha pagado una suma generosa por ella y promete una noche de perversión y desenfreno total, lo cual en un principio resulta excitante, alucinante... hasta cierto punto, ya que todo se convierte en conexión instantánea entre ambos que pasan a la expectación y a mostrarse interesados el uno con el otro y conversar sobre sus vidas y miedos.
Al llegar la noche a su fin, Ellie se sentirá atrapada entre el sentimiento y vivir solo el momento. Está decidida a volver a su vida, donde es una periodista, que desea ser más y dónde cree estar enamorada de su mejor amigo, quien no le corresponde, y dejar pasar su noche de aventura con alguien por quien ya siente algo más que deseo y le ha hecho ver las de diferentes maneras. Pero no esperaba que el Sr. Black quien se presenta formalmente como Aiden Black le pida verse de nuevo... lo que la llevará a tomar decisiones importantes y adentrarse en la vida de un hombre poderoso y con un estilo de vida sexualmente extravagante... y donde los sentimientos que ambos han ido desarrollando florecerán y las confesiones amorosas serán correspondidas. Y como en toda historia, los entrometidos y momentos indeseados no faltaran.
Una nueva invitación llega, pero, ¿las cosas saldrán como la primera vez?

Sobra decir que el misterioso Señor Black es miembro de un selecto club llamado The billionaire boys club , es adicto al gym, muy inteligente y además es el fundador de una empresa multimillonaria con cero interés en las relaciones normales.
También me ha encantado la ambientación donde nos sitúa la trama, Manhattan con lugares preciosos descritos al detalle cómo la torre Ritz de Emery Roth en lo alto de Park Avenue ,universidades de renombre mundial y una cuidada puesta en escena de cada momento entre la pareja. Hay pocos secundarios , el peso de la trama recae por entero en la pareja con situaciones lujosas al extremo e incluso diría que aptas para unos pocos privilegiados. El matiz es que entre sus muchas reflexiones hay diálogos sobre el papel de la literatura romántica en la cultura , sobre los sueños por cumplir , de lo que una mujer empoderada es hoy en día, la libertad de expresión, sexual o amorosa de la mujer.
Y todo ello aderezado con mucha pasión en igualdad , de cuando una mujer dice NO ES NO , de lo que una mujer tiene la elección de ser absolutamente sincera en lo que quiere de una relación ,sobre todo de una relación sana y consensuada.

3.5 stars.

This book had me hooked in the beginning, and when the auction started and the mysterious Mr black was introduced it really had me invested, but then it’s like this alpha male, dominant character suddenly turned into a younger version of himself, who liked to have a lot of hook ups.
It was strange to go from this dark, mysterious guy with a deep voice, to someone who suddenly opened up to a stranger and started to fall for her.
Then we have Ellie, who is in love with her best friend Tom, but then meets this mysterious guy who gets rid of all her inhibitions in one night, she no longer feels self conscious and no longer loves her best friend?

I wish that the male character was more of a mystery, and didn’t open up straight away, keeping us in suspense longer, especially as I see this is a five book series.

Don’t get me wrong, the story line was good, it’s just I felt like it could have so much potential to be better.

⭐️⭐️⭐️/75 Anche questo libro preso poiché in omaggio, chi conosce i miei gusti sa che una storia raccolta in 5 volumi è veramente troppo per me! Detto ciò devo però ammettere che la scrittura è davvero piacevole, molto scorrevole e mai noiosa. È una lettura davvero piccante ma mai volgare, molto accattivante ed eccitante. Aiden Black è un bel personaggio, con molte sfaccettature: dolce e fragile ma autoritario e perverso in camera da letto. Anche Ellie non è male, con tutte le sue insicurezze ma senza maschera con Mr Bkack
