Katrina will do whatever she must to help her dad with his gambling debt to he isn’t killed by the mob. She decides to enter herself in a virgin auction where Nicholas sees her and knows that he must have her. Will one night be enough? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and sizzling chemistry. I liked it.

Cute, short and sweet🐝 story about a young virgin, Katrina💋👗, who must auction herself off to the highest bidder. One man, Nick, is a upstanding CEO of his own business, the other man, his cousin Tony, is a gangsta playa👹🔪🔫 who owns a strip club, and runs the auctions. In the middle of this is Katrina's father, a loser who has gambled EVERYTHING away on the ponies🎲🏇 and is into debt for $75k.
Katrina💋👗 finds out he even blew through her college savings, and decides to sell the only thing she has left.
I liked the book, but felt like Katrina💋👗 was acting like a pro👙💋 in way too short of a time period. It was from shaky, scared virgin👗 to instantaneous 🔥hot ,wanton big Johnson sex slave🍌!
YEHAW! Ride em Bareback🍌, Cowgirl!🐎🐎🐎🐎

There are several other good full length erotic romance novels included . I had read and reviewed most of them as stand alone books, but they are all 👍good. Lots of hours of late night sexy reading material for the price of one!

I love this book from beginning to end! Their new lives was the start of their HEA!!

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first book that I have ever had the pleasure of reading by this author and I my say that I was very intrigued. It was well written with a great storyline, great characters, entertaining, touches on issues relatable issues, easy to read, a page turner, intense, passionate, informative, and somewhat realistic as it pertains to the mobs methods. Nicholas D'Angelo a.k.a Nicky is a third generation rich kid, his family is a part of the mob with various shady businesses although some are legitimate. Nicky is not apart of the business, he doesn't want any part of it. He's a Yale graduate. An Italian tall dark and gorgeous with a mind for business that's bar none. He has a Master Degree in Finance from Wharton Business School. He's a self made multimillionaire building his company, Phoenix Capital from the ground up with sheer smarts and intelligence.
He had achieved all this before the age of thirty. He was twice voted New York's most eligible bachelor. Nicky love the women's and never sleeps with the same one twice. He was hanging with his cousin Tony at their family's club Gino's Gentleman's Club. He mentioned that he was getting tired of sleeping around. He is looking for something for substantive, someone that he can holds a conversation with, someone with dreams ambitions, and who can rival his intellect. This is when his cousin suggested that he got a virgin vagina and that he should come with him to the auction that their family host every four months on the estate that they grew up on. Nicky wasn't sure about it because he had never bought a woman before.
Ten years ago Katrina Donovan lost her mom to cancer. She is now a twenty one year old virgin. She's a hard worker working three jobs with an aspiration to go to MIT to become a cancer researcher. She lives with her father in a small one bedroom apartment above family's seedy bar known Tommy's Bar & Grill. This was given to him by his father and that's the only place that her dad ever worked. Katrina dad is alcoholic and also have a gambling addiction. He gambled their house when she was younger and that's the reason why they're living in there current situation now. When Katrina father told her that he was in debt to some very bad people for $75,000 he took the wind out of her. Katrina couldn't believe her father Tommy when she asked him how much? He was crying and saying that they were going to kill him this time if he didn't pay the money by the end of the month. Although she was saving towards college thought that she could use the $10,000 that she had put away for to help him. But when he told her that all their savings including her college money she was livid, she wanted to slap him. She was mad at him but she didn't wanted him to die since he was her only living relative left. She was telling her best friend Bethany what happened and Bethany told her able this auction where she could auction off her virginity to the highest bidder. You get to spend the entire weekend with the who wins the bid doing whatever they wants. Nicky D 'Angelo won the bid for $400,000. The house takes a percentage leaving Katrina with $200,000.
Nicky and Katrina union hot, steamy, sensual, and erotic. They had a connection from the start before he even bid on her. The guy that never slept with same girl twice found himself wanted more. They were addicted to each and was willing to see where their new found budding relationship were going. However, some skeletons always find ways to come out of the closet, lie by commission. Find out what happened between these two. Always a happy ending. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I recommend it.

Review Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars.

Anything for family...

I received an Advance Reader Copy for AUCTIONED written by Mia Fox and voluntarily reviewed this book. Katrina Donovan knew that ever since her mother died, her father went back deep into his vices. So badly, in fact, that they couldn't run from it now, and this time, he was warned they were going to make him pay in more ways than one. Katrina, with zero savings left now, a hand-me-down bar already mortgaged to the hilt, and her dreams of attending MIT for cancer research rapidly going down the drain along with all her albeit-slim hopes of getting out of this life, she does the one thing she had the power to do: offer herself at an exclusive virgin auction to save her dad's life.

Nicky D'Angelo was so tired and bored of everything, especially when it came to hanging around with his cousin Tony as he "played with the merchandise" and drank his way through their family-owned hangout. Hearing of Nicky's restlessness, he drags Nicky to an exclusive auction, where virgins are auctioned off for the weekend. Once he sets eyes on Katrina on while on display, though, it felt much like a novelty for him to be with a virgin, and she was just so perfect. Luckily for them, he knew just what to do, but when their time was up, what was going to happen?

Enjoyably sexy & hot read, with Nicky who strives to be his own man, away from the Italian mafia ties, who manages to have a strong code of ethics despite them. Good characters and storyline, with a perfect HEA for them.

[Ria Lize]

Okay. This was a short read, and there were multiple stories inside, too. There were some things I liked in each story, but there was always something that made me go, "wait, what? / Did s(he) just say that? o_O " So that stopped me from rating it higher.

For the story Auctioned itself-
I wanted to feel that connection between the H/h, not told they had it.
I wanted to know why they were attracted to each other, not be told they were. I think my problem was largely that even though they had sex, the getting-to-know-each-other stage was summarized in a couple of sentences.

I needed the journey of them falling in love. It consists of more than them happening to come across each other. It’s the conversation, those touches here and there when their fingers brush, and it goes beyond physical attraction.

I really warmed up to the next half of the book. It’s such a shame, I think if more time was taken to develop their relationship from the very start, I wouldn’t have minded so much that some things were skimmed. The build-up was there though, so it had a lot of potential. It probably was because they haven’t spent that time together especially with the heroine dealing with the issue of her father.

Overall
I couldn't help but think that some things could've been expanded on. That was my main issue with it as a whole—I have no problem with novellas/novelettes, but I think they all could've ended in a satisfying conclusion since most of the stories started off great. Instead, I ended up with even more questions after I've finished.

Katrina’s father was an addicted gambler and drunk to boot. After the death of her mother to cancer, when Katrina was a young girl, her father packed their belongings into a u-haul and left their home.
They currently lived in a small flatlet above the bar they owned. Although her father drank through most of the profits or gambled away the rest.
When he admits to her that he owes $75,000 or ‘they will kill him’, she doesn’t know what to do.
Her best friend who works as a waitress in a strip club tells her about a virgin auction that might just be the answer to her problems.
Nicky D’Angelo didn’t have very much to do with his family business. His cousin Tony ran the family strip club and partied like a frat boy every night. But to Nicky, that lifestyle had grown stale. He worked hard to make his investment company not only successful but legitimate. He wants more out of his personal life.
When Tony mentions the virgin auction to him, Nicky goes along out of curiosity, never really intending to bid. Until he sees Katrina. A beautiful blonde who looks so out of her element. When he speaks to her he realises that she is genuine unlike many of the other women in his life have been. She’s intelligent and likeable and he realises that he’s bidding to win...
This was a really enjoyable story with plenty of drama, steam and genuine characters. Loved it.

Their love story may start in a strange way but he is her hero for now and forever

Nicky is the son of a Mafia boss but he is making a life for himself and his hard work has made him a very rich businessman. When Katrina's father loses everything, including her college fund, and ends up in debt to some very bad people she sees only one possible way out of it.....enter a very particular type of auction. She is hoping that she will get enough money to pay off her father's debts but also be able to go to MIT.

Well one look at the beautiful young woman and he knows exactly what he will be bidding on.....her for a weekend and then forever. Along the way he will be able to prove he is worthy of her and become her hero.
This is an entertaining and sexy story with some charming characters. The story-line has some drama, action, a bit of violence, a V-card auction, family you love and not so much and a romance. An enjoyable read.

I had the privilege of reading an ARC copy of Auctioned by Mia Ford. A great family story about how a young girl can become a woman and save her father at the same time and find love too. Nicky didn't want to be part of his families business so he went to college and opened his own business, but family bonds are strong and he was still friends with his cousin. Katrina's life was tough after her mother passed away from cancer and her father hit rock bottom, drinking, and gambling. He informs Katrina he owes some bad people and they are going to kill him if he doesn't pay what he owes. He had spent all of their savings and maxed out every avenue they had. Then Katrina's friend tells her about the Virgin Auction and how she can make some money, with selling her virginity. She only had to spend the weekend with the man and she would get half of what the bid was for herself. Little did she expect that she would meet the love of her life at this auction, he bought her virginity but kept her heart and she grabbed a hold of his and didn't let go.

A lovely story of a good bad boy & a young virgin who dreamed big...
The hero came from a wealthy family but he made his own way & was successful with a legitimate business unlike most of his extended family. The heroine's mother passed from cancer & her alcoholic father had massive gambling debts. Her friend told her about a virgin auction that would help her repay her father's debt & restore her own savings he'd stolen. She was fortunate the hero outbid all others & he was decent & kind to her. His scumbag cousin was aware that she she got paid $200k at the auction & demanded the full amount to settle her father's debt. The hero recovered her $125k & invested it for her. She got a statement in the mail & went to discuss how the money she'd reluctantly paid to his cousin was now sitting in an investment account in her name. Talking led to so much more, he may have taken her virginity but he cared deeply for her & their sexual connection was off the charts. Could she hope that their relationship could last? I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.

Since Katrina's mother had passed life with her father had gotten bad. He went back to his gambling ways worse than he had before and now he was in trouble. When she told her friend about it her friend mentioned this auction where young women sold their virginity to the highest bidder. Nicholas is the CEO of his own company and a playboy. He never was with the same woman twice because he wasn't looking to settle down. A friend invited him to the auction and Nicholas hadn't been to one before so he went. When he saw Katrina he knew he had to have her. Sparks flew between them when they met. Nicholas ends up wanting to know more about Katrina than he usually did with a woman he was with which surprises even him. Will Nicholas see that Katrina is the woman he needs in his life? Can he help her with the mess her father got her in?

This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

No es malo, pero pudo ser mejor. Es un libro cortito, y aún así pierde el tiempo en otras historias. Tenemos a una protagonista cuya madre murió de cáncer y está decidida a salir de su situación financiera gracias a un padre alcohólico y adicto a las apuestas. Y tenemos al protagonista masculino que aunque es de familia mafiosa, se mantiene al margen del negocio. Hasta aquí vamos bien.







SPOILERS**********************











Ocupa medio libro en todo lo que pasa antes de la subasta. El sueño que tuvo antes de la subasta muy bueno. Ahora después de medio libro, te resumen el fin de semana en un párrafo!!!!! Dice que se conocieron durante ese fin, ok, que hablaron, que más hicieron, por qué ella es diferente para él.
Y cuando se entera a que familia pertenece Nicky, sigue así con él, como si nada, ella pensó que la había traicionado y un par de palabras y listo??? Y una adicción como la del padre, con una golpiza de quita como si nada??? Y no existe la carrera "investigadora de cáncer"...

Erotic

This starts out as one book but has several others packed at the end. The stories are erotic and fairly explicit. Although the storyline is good the females in the stories tend to blame the male characters for their actions, as though they have no brain or character strength of their own. In auctioned the female behaves wantonly but she's constantly thinking that she can't help it because he makes her behave that way. Hmmmm...nope not buying it. That carries throughout the other stories as well but not quite as much as in Auctioned. If editing issues bother you, be warned this book has a lot of them.

[Terry Sasada · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unconventional way to start a relationship, but Katrina needs the money to pay off her fathers debt to some very bad people, and unfortunaltey Nicky is related to them. The virginity auction.... Katrina feels this is her only choice, she is embarrassed, and completely out of her element. How can she do this, but her choice is gone.The auction begins, and the one man that already helped her has bid on her. She is his. The money is hers, or is it? After Nicky already helped her once, will he save her again? I really like the book, I wish it was longer to really see where the story takes them and their future, because of course we love the HEA

This book brings us Nicky and Katrina. Katrina lives with her dad, and he has an addiction problem. He is her only remaining family, so she will do whatever she can to help her dad. This is where she meets Nicky. They have a wonderful time together, but when she awakes the next day, he is gone. When she finds out about the connection between her Dad's problems and Nicky's involvement, she is livid. She goes to tell Nicky what she thinks about him, and he is not happy with his cousin for his part in this situation. This is a good read and I do recommend it. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

Katrina has been put in the position needing to put herself up in an auction. This auction will hopefully give her enough money to pay off her father's continued gambling debts and pay for her college. Nicholas is a rich businessman who has distanced himself from his criminal family. Nick takes his cousin Tony up on attending his first auction. He can't believe his luck in seeing Katrina as one of the women being auctioned. This story flowed and is a fast read. It had all the feel good of Nick coming to the rescue to help and protect his woman. Enjoy!

Nicky is a wealthy self-made multi-millionaire who is one of the most eligible bachelors and is from a mafia family. Katrina is hard working and has had a tough life with her alcoholic and gambling father. Nicky is a dominant alpha who is looking for a submissive, and is feeling jaded about his past, and he finds out about a virgin auction which he attends and sees Katrina. This is a good story which has family, loyalty, twists, and is a steamy read, I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend.

[Reagan Reads · Rating 2 out of 5]

This one was not for me at all. I liked the premise a lot, but wow, what a canned delivery. I don't know if this is one of those word-mill pen names where they just hire ghost writers to pump out trope books, but it sure reads like one. Stilted dialogue, tedious, predictable scenes, no real connection between the couple, and the book ends even sooner than it seems like it's going to because there's other stuff at the back of the book.

Katrina's dad owns a bar and she works there. Not because she really wants to but because she must keep it going and an eye on him. He drinks and gambles. He owes money, lots of money, and he tells his daughter the men are going to kill him if he doesn't pay up. So she turns to one of her friends for help. This book is what Katrinadoes to get the money to get her dad out of the jam and hopefully Katrina a life outside of her dad. It is hot and steamy. It is based on selling her V-card.

Es una novela extremadamente corto y eso es triste a la vez ya que quería más detalles o saber un poco más sobre la vida de los protagonistas y más detalles pero bueno fue una lectura bellísima corta y fresca para leer que me gustó bastante para pasar el rato refrescar el corazón, el protagonista es encantador y la protagonista Katrina es bellísima y para las pocas páginas tiene mucho carácter lo que más me fijo en los personajes recomendado.

I got this book in exchange for a voluntary review. Katrina needs money to save her father;s life so she enter's the virgin auction. The author approaches this a little different. Nicky wins the bid and saves her life too. This is an erotic love story where what's right actually does win out in the end. The characters are so real that the reader can imagine Katrina at the auction.
