Highest Bidder (Salacious Players’ Club) by Sara Cate

This is the 5th book in the Salacious Players’ Club series which can be read as a standalone.

He’s not just rich…he’s filthy rich.

When I started working at Salacious Players’ Club, I never expected to end up on the auction block ready to grant a date to the highest bidder.

This club is not really my scene. I’m not the kind of girl rich guys take home. I’m more a piano playing, van-living, free spirit kind of girl.

So when Ronan Kade, the richest man at the club, puts down over a hundred grand for my time, how can I tell him no?

But he’s too old. Too rich. Too cocky.

And oh yeah…he once dated my mother.

Except he doesn’t know that. He has no idea who I am.

One date turns into a trip to Paris. And an offer to live with him in his penthouse. Then a promise to take care of me.

Before I know it, I’m calling this silver fox my daddy.

Ronan Kade only bid on one date, but I think he’s winning much more than that.

Can we overcome the years between us to find happiness?

And will he find it in him to forgive me when he learns the secret I’ve been keeping?

This book was everything and more. It was absolute perfection and the best one of the series yet.

And Wander on the cover is absolutely perfect as well. He fits Ronan to a tee.

Ronan Kade.

Daddy Ronan. Holy shit, where do we find one? He was perfect. I absolutely loved it. I loved his dominance and his need to care for Daisy. I loved the fact that he was a pleasure Dom and it suited him perfectly.

Daisy was a good character. I loved her story and how she ended up at the club. The way she ended up with Ronan was brilliant.

They both click instantly. I loved the connection between them both and I enjoyed watching him teach and guide her. The way he cared about her was so sweet. Ronan wears his heart on his sleeve and I loved watching them fall in love. They were meant to be.

The Daddy kink was done well given the large age gap between them. It didn’t feel forced.

The scenes between them were on fire. I loved the spice. Daddy Ronan, Christ, I’d let him have his way with me 🥵

I loved that we got to see more of Eden and Geo. It was nice to see more depth to them and I’m looking forward to Madame’s book next.

Ronan was always going to find out the truth. I got that it was hard for Daisy to tell him after the way he was treating her, but he also needed to know. I was upset at his reaction, but it was also understandable. The characters are so good that you really feel the emotions with what they’re going through.

The ending was brilliant. I loved how things turned out and it was fantastic to see Ronan and Daisy getting their happy ending. They were meant to be.

Overall, this book is absolutely fantastic. It’s my favourite of the series so far because Daddy Ronan is perfection.

I would definitely recommend it.

My rating: 5/5*

His Private Assistant (Billionaire Office Romance) (Thorn Brothers Series Book 1) by Sissi Grandeur

This is the first book in the Thorn Brothers Series.

“Believe me, Electra, when I say this will be an entirely new experience for you.”

And he is right. It is something different, forbidden, and exciting. It is thrilling, sensual, and provocative.
Even when I’m afraid of the unknown, I feel safe. He protects me, cherishes me, and adores me. And at the end of the night, I know that I’m his.

Electra has been a private assistant at Thorn Enterprises for years. She loves her job, and has a great relationship with her boss. However, her usually peaceful life is turned upside down when the current CEO retires and is replaced by his oldest son, Sebastian Thorn.

From the first moment Electra lays her eyes on Bastian, she is enchanted by him; drawn to him. He is like a magnet for her. She can’t get him out of her head. But his behavior toward her is despicable, pushing her to be one step away from quitting her job. She stays to give her boss one final chance, and in return, he rewards her by giving her the most unforgettable experience of her life.

I enjoyed reading this book. The story was good and I liked the characters.

I loved Electra. She was a good character and I loved seeing her thoughts and feelings slowly develop towards Bastian. She knew nothing of his lifestyle, but she was willing to learn. He almost pushed her to the edge, but she gave him a chance which paid off in the end.

I liked Bastian. He was a bit of a grump, especially at the beginning in the office. He made things hard for her until he laid his offer out on the table. I loved the softer more affection side of him and the fact that it was Electra who brought that out of him. I just wished that there was more chapters in his POV.

The scenes between them were steamy. I loved seeing Bastian introducing her to the lifestyle and teaching her about her new role. I liked how Electra pushed his buttons at times. She enjoyed everything he did, even most of the punishments.

There was only small things which stopped me from giving this five stars. I felt the first chapter served no relevance. Yes, it was a new experience for Electra, but it had nothing to do with the rest of the story. I just didn’t see it’s relevance. I also didn’t like the overuse of the word orbs. There are a lot of different ways to describe eyes so it could have been shaken up a little instead of repeating the same word over.

I also get that this was a HFN, but the ending seemed very abrupt. I loved how things progressed and seeing him finally show her his true feelings, but I just felt that it needed something more. The ending just came out of nowhere.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and loved the characters. The scenes were hot and I enjoyed the story. It was a fun quick read and I would recommend it.

My rating: 4/5*

Bought (The Highest Bidder Book 1) by Lauren Landish and Willow Winters

This is the first book in The Highest Bidder series which is also a standalone.

Everything has a price … and I’m willing to pay.

I trust no one. I thrive with control and I’ve learned to be ruthless and cold-hearted. I’m not interested in love, but I still have desires.

That’s where Dahlia comes in. She’s never been a submissive before and I’m eager to train her. When I saw her on stage at the auction, dressed in gold, I knew I had to have her.

She was meant to be a distraction. Nothing more.

One lie changed everything. A lie she told to hide how broken she really is.

I own her for now. She’s mine for an entire month.
But a month isn’t long enough for what I want to do with her. I don’t care what the contract says. I bought her and now she’s mine.

I loved reading this book. The characters were great and I enjoyed the story.

Lucian was a fantastic character. I loved watching his emotions develop as his relationship with Dahlia grew. He is such a considerate Dom, always trying to give her what she needs. I enjoyed watching them slowly open up and seeing him trying to help her with what happened.

Dahlia is a good character. She has trauma from her past which she hides from Lucian. Neither of them expected to develop feelings, but they did.

They were a good match and the spark between them was on fire. It was nice watching them grow into something real. I just wish we got to see more of them together without the contract. I felt the situation with Lucian’s ex-wife was left unresolved as well.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and I absolutely loved reading Lucian and Daliah together. Lucian was amazing. I would definitely recommend this book.

My rating: 5/5*

Emma
Desperation drives you to do crazy things. Like standing on a stage selling yourself in a sex club.
I needed the money, but being at the mercy of a Dom was nothing like I expected.
He made me feel alive, bringing me into this new lifestyle.
I didn’t expect to develop feelings. Maybe things would finally work out right.
Except nothing is ever what it seems.

Aiden
I wanted her the moment that I laid eyes on her. I needed a change and she was the perfect opportunity.
I wasn’t ready for sparks to fly, but the moment that they did, I knew that I couldn’t let her go.
I had to have her. To own her. To damn well worship her.
Maybe change could be a good thing.
Maybe all I needed was a proper submissive.
I wouldn’t know unless I started walking down this path.
I just had to navigate the obstacles in my way in order to get what I wanted, especially when the one girl that I felt a connection to was being threatened..
