     Katherine is just waiting on her inheritance to be able to be her own person without dealing with her mother’s whims. However, a new stipend has come to light. Katherine must marry in order to get her inheritance from her grandfather. With no prospects on the horizon she agrees to go to her mother’s charity event and be auctioned off for a date to the highest bidder. Enter Gabe, her sleazy ex, and Gabe’s best friend. The bidding is off, but who will win her date?

        I get caught by the Facebook Ads a lot and this is yet another instance of that happening. This is a contemporary romance why choose/reverse harem. We start the book with zero prospects, but hoping for her best friend. Then she has a date with 2 best friends. When it comes to choosing that isn’t a concern. I am still holding out hope that this will turn into a MMFM with the best friend and sword crossing.

        I loved this book and all of the spice. There is plenty of it with explicit scenes. Including some fun in a maze at her families house. Absolutely no judgement there. That being said, the book ends on a cliffhanger where the best friend shows up and professes his undying love but she tells him it is too little too late. Really hoping it’s not because he was a jerk but I kinda already love him.
