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


     Daliah could never sell herself...or could she? Her best friend has told her all about an under-ground club and convinced her to go. To sign up for an auction. She'll have a contract that outlines all of her hard and soft no's and she will go up for bidding. The man who wins her gets her for 30 days. After that what they do is up to them. For Lucian it has been too long since he had a sub and it will be just the thing to get his mind off other issues and the vision in gold on the auction block cannot be denied. 

    One of the authors of this book (Willow) posted promoting book 1 and I let her know that I would tell her when I posted the review, if she wanted. She did. Anyways, I am going to do my best to keep this book straight as I have read books 1-4 in this series now. Yes, I am behind on reviews. Terribly so. Work in progress. 

    This is our introduction to the club, future book characters, and of course the main characters in this book. The authors do an amazing job of putting the reader into the book where you can almost see the club and all the activities. 

    The dynamic in this book is a Sub/Dom where she must refer to him as "Sir" when in private, but remember even in public that he is her dominant. I love the Sub/Dom with the Sir dynamic. It is my favorite by far. I enjoy the title much more than others, especially Master, and the safe words while still relinquishing control and receiving punishments. 

    I loved the spicy scenes just as much as the non. I will say that the start of the book gives away that it is a HEA. Nothing wrong with a happily ever after. But, it lets the reader know from the beginning that this is more than just fun play. 

    Zero complaints on this book. Absolutely loved it. There are a bunch of trigger warnings, for those that are concerned. If trigger warnings are something you are leery of versus enjoying please make sure to read the full list before starting the book. It is open door romance with mentions of rape, complications mentally, and murder. 

    I loved when Daliah opened up to Lucian about her past and he was able to help her move past it. I look forward to more from these authors in the future.
