Story
You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

Story
I've always shot for the moon, but if you'd told me I'd be earning seven figures at twenty-four, I would never have believed you. And if you'd told me that I'd earn every penny of that success by selling my body and my soul, I'd have laughed in your face. Still. Here I am at Seraph, an elite agency that recruits only the most well-educated, accomplished and discreet women. Our area of expertise? "Full service" executive assistants to the most powerful men in the world.

Story
From the moment my twin sister set her eyes on Matteo, she decided he was the one. We were just kids, but that didn’t matter to her. In her heart, she believed they were destined to be together. So when their arranged engagement was announced, no one was surprised. At least, that’s what I thought. But lately, something had felt off. Wherever I went, Matteo was there. Lurking in the dark, concealed in the shadows, always watching.

Story
Fighting wildfires is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do and I’m damn good at it. Being the captain of an interagency hotshot crew of wildland firefighters is high-risk, high-reward. The risk blindsided me five years ago when I lost one of my crew and was changed forever. Now the only rewards I allow are to work harder, smarter, and enjoy easy, sexy nights with strangers. Until I meet Prescott Timmons. Her smart-mouth and adventurous spirit have me forgetting all of my rules—until her past shows up and lies start to feel too familiar.

Broken down, and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough. Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brought me to my knees - literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do. Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough. I’m worthy of his praise. There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss - he’s twice my age. And my ex-boyfriend’s father....I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.

Welcome to Georgian England, circa 1800. Alastair Thorne is a cad and a rake. Even his mother told him so. Pity for her that he cannot bring himself to care, for he relishes his life of debauchery and licentiousness, and is content thinking of no-one but himself. Except Alastair may have just messed with the wrong fair maiden, and his life is about to be cut violently short. That is until he comes face to face with the enigmatic stranger who's been watching him from afar.

I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

You want my advice? Never look a gift horse in the mouth. You don’t want to see the rotten teeth. In this case, the gift is a scholarship to attend the prestigious Neveah University. The rotten teeth? Well, they came in the form of my brand new stepbrother and his little cohort of entitled, arrogant best friends. Four dangerously handsome and stupidly wealthy men who made up their minds about me long before we met. Men who are used to getting everything they want no matter what the price.

Three months on a private island. Two men. One million dollars. All I have to do is tame Nash Wilde. It’s been two years since my sister and her boyfriend were killed in a plane crash. The last person I expected to show up on my doorstep was his father, Alistair Wilde. Yet, he came with an offer I’d be an idiot to pass up: be his son’s girlfriend for three months, live with the two of them in a remote house, and the one million dollars is mine.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

A beautiful, young American girl wound up stranded far from home on my doorstep. When she begged me to stay, I did what a good priest would do, and I said yes. But a good priest wouldn’t spend his days thinking about the fullness of her ruby red lips or feel the sting of envy with the way she draws men to her like flies to honey. A good priest would have stopped things before that first touch. And he certainly wouldn’t have given into temptation so easily, but when Cadence Thorn walked in, she brought me to my knees.

I'd never needed a week away with my brothers so bad until I'd broken up with my girlfriend. The female persuasion was the farthest thing from my mind . . . that was until I lock eyes with the stunning brunette sitting on the other side of the bar. It didn't take me long to figure out that she was there alone. My brothers and I had decided to move the party from the bar to my hotel room. Things got loud, and before I knew it she was standing on the other side of my door. Only she wasn't here to join the party, instead she was raging with anger at the fact we'd kept her up half the night.

Story
I'd never needed a week away with my brothers so bad until I'd broken up with my girlfriend. The female persuasion was the farthest thing from my mind . . . that was until I lock eyes with the stunning brunette sitting on the other side of the bar. It didn't take me long to figure out that she was there alone. My brothers and I had decided to move the party from the bar to my hotel room. Things got loud, and before I knew it she was standing on the other side of my door. Only she wasn't here to join the party, instead she was raging with anger at the fact we'd kept her up half the night.

Story
Three months on a private island. Two men. One million dollars. All I have to do is tame Nash Wilde. It’s been two years since my sister and her boyfriend were killed in a plane crash. The last person I expected to show up on my doorstep was his father, Alistair Wilde. Yet, he came with an offer I’d be an idiot to pass up: be his son’s girlfriend for three months, live with the two of them in a remote house, and the one million dollars is mine.

In this Cinderella influenced story, Birdie wants to escape the clutches of her tyrannical stepmother, and she’s willing to do anything–even go up for a bridal auction. But that also means leaving the woman she’s in love with: her step sister Violet. But Violet refuses to let this end tragically, and approaches her wealthy ex, Alaric, to win Birdie’s auction. Feelings get all twisted up, and soon Birdie, Violet, and Alaric find themselves in a confusing mess of shared feelings.
My thoughts:
First, I loved the audiobook version of this story. It was expertly narrated by Stephen Borne, Michelle Sparks, and Angelina Rocca. It’s also quite short at 4.5 hours, so I flew right through it. I got all the things I love about a Sara Cate story in a quick burst.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Birdie, who is only 19, has a sort of endearing innocence despite the hard life she’s lived. And I love that Violet defies her despicable mother and sister and stands up for what’s right. Alaric has some morally gray tendencies that I would have liked to learn more about. But I always love a MMC who would burn down the world for the woman, or in this case, women he loves.
Great, quick listen with a some fun spice and great resolution.

Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
This was a sexy, spicy, dark Cinderella retelling but the step sisters are hot for each other. Just like in the Disney version, the dad dies but in this version he was a grade A a-hole who abused his wife, daughter, and stepdaughters so he deserved to die. Now stepmommy dearest is taking everything out on Birdie that her dad did, even though she didn’t do anything to deserve it, so she forces her to enter the auction to be sold to the highest bidder to be wed and for her virginity. The only problem is, she’s in love with her step sister, and her step sister is in love with her. They come up with a plan for freedom but do plans ever go to plan? The Sara Cate spice was absolutely spicing on this one. There was some FF, MF, FFM action and it was hot hot hot!
Stephen, Angelina, and Michelle did incredible on this narration! Dual narration, so they each did their own chapters, but I think they portrayed each character perfectly!

Birdie and Violet have such a sweet, forbidden relationship. Stepsisters they may be, but I could feel how deep their connection was. Living under the thumb of Violet's mother, they turn to Alaric, Violet’s ex, to help them out.
How is he helping them out? Well, by buying Birdie’s hand in marriage in an auction, of course! And it ain't even as simple as that. So buckle up!
This was a spicy little novella and I truly enjoyed myself, listening to the audio in just a few hours. It was narrated by Michelle Sparks, Angelina Rocca and Stephen Borne. They were all well done, though I did find the male narrators's depiction of the women to be slightly off base. Just being honest!

Two stepsisters secretly in love. One auctioned by the evil stepmother. A delicious powerful man who claims them both.....it's such a fun set up. It is only a novella- so I calibrated my expectations. This one is light on backstory and larger character development and is more so an exploration of the relationship dynamics as these three find themselves together. The Cinderella elements are great, and it's a fast read. The more layered emotional punch you'd expect from a full length story isn't really the focus here (again it's a novella)- but it's got a good edge, plenty of kink and spice. Honestly, it would have been even more fabulous full length because there is so much to explore here. There are some dark elements as well (the auction/deflowering scene is intense) and a lot of tabooish vibes.
The audio is narrated by Michelle Sparks, Angelina Rocca and Stephen Borne. I loved Michelle and Angelina, and Stephen brought some good edge, even if this performance wasn't overall my favorite of his.

Birdie has been a captive in her own home ever since her father passed away leaving her in the care of her monstrous stepmother, and vindictive stepsister. Her only shining light is Violet, her other stepsister. The only one to be nice to Birdie, her entire life.
Violet has been planning to escape with Birdie as soon as she can get them away from her mother, until she finds out Birdie is going to be put up for auction. Not willing to let Birdie be sold of to a random high bidder, she implores her ex, Alaric to help her save Birdie.
Alaric begrudgingly helps Violet and Birdie, but unknowingly enters into a contract with many stipulations, and when feelings get muddled, and lines are crossed, the three have to decide which future they are fighting for.

Birdie is a 19 y.o. girl who is being put up for auction to be sold to the highest bidder in exchange for her virginity and hand in marriage. Her evil stepmother wants to be rid of her in the most humiliating way possible, but Violet, her step-sister is doing everything she can to keep Birdie out of the hands of someone truly horrible who will take her away forever. Violet and Birdie are actually lovers, and when Violet approaches her old flame, Alaric, a wealthy assassin, she pleads with him to help spare Birdie from a horrible fate so that they can run off and be together. At first, Alaric is not interested, but when he meets Birdie, he is instantly intrigued by her and does whatever is necessary to not only keep her out of the hands of someone nefarious but to also to keep her for himself.
The rest of the story is the three of them exploring this new dynamic that they share, exploring each other and opening their hearts to the possibility that this arrangement could actually last. But there are secrets that have to be exposed before they can truly move forward and they have to hope that Birdie will still want to stay after everything comes to light. In true Sara fashion, this novella was packed with spice but has rich character development that moves the story along seamlessly. And although I am not the biggest consumer of FF romance, I knew Sara wouldn't steer me wrong. Not surprisingly so, this is another fantastic story from our Queen Sara Cate.
Stephen Borne, Angelina Rocca and Michelle Sparks were fantastic on this novella, delivering performances that embodied each character well and made the story that much more vivid. Round of applause for all three performers.
