I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory - namely, his wallet. Now he's staring me down like I'm the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I'm supposed to take it. But the thing about being Judith "Jude" Humphry is I have nothing to lose. Brooklyn girl. Infamously quirky. Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.

So the fact that his mate has managed to escape him for the past five decades is something that keeps him intrigued and more obsessed with every passing year. The game is beyond delicious until a century-old enemy resurfaces, putting his sweet little mate in danger. At that point, he has no choice but to secure her.

As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

Several stories
First time reading a book with several stories going on, so thats interesting. The stories are broken down into very small chapter for each couples story and cliffhangers at the end of the book with several book to follow. They really could have been separate books. The narration for the Noriegin is all wrong but other narration was ok.

Absolutely addicting!
What can I say? This series has taken my life over completely! What do I mean by that? I mean that as soon as I cracked open the ARC of this book I literally have not stopped reading this series since. Every waking hour, minute, and second I am reading this series. I finished this book, book one in one sitting and read until 6 am to do so! Sleep be damned, I am HOOKED! First thing the next morning I frantically tracked down the rest of this series on Kindle Vella and have been reading non stop for 3 days now, about to finish season one on KV and it just gets better, and better!!
Let’s dive right into why I am currently carrying this series around like it’s another appendage. TMA gives you so much with fantastic pacing to let you learn just enough to keep you guessing and dying to read the next page. It’s structured with multiple POVs from several women who are running from dark pasts filled with pain, trauma and struggle who just hoping to find a safe CONSENSUAL way out. One on their terms, and they find that in The Marriage Auction. It is an opportunity to marry someone, the highest bidder, (with a post auction month of getting to know them) for no less than 3 years for millions of dollars yearly and more. I loved that while technically speaking the women are being auctioned off, the overarching theme is consent, consent, consent! These women can walk away and say no at any point in time free and clear, and are protected legally and financially too. These bidders are thoroughly vetted and legally bound to treat them right. Not just anyone can even find out about TMA. I think that’s important to point out these facts so you know when deciding if this book is for you. Because if it wasn’t that way, or was in any way about harming women, I wouldn’t read it. Also yet again, this is why reading romance written by women is so big for me yall. CONSENT. Each woman, man and couple is a bit of a trope in her own way, we get enemies to lovers, love at first sight, Prince Charming, twins/sibling rivalry, lost love, looking to live again, and so much more, you get it all! There is truly a couple for everyone, and if you’re like me they are all for you.
The men who are the bidders are oh so swoon worthy millionaires/billionaires (cue our millionaire romance fans!) with a lot of “WHO HURT YOU” energy that I am alllllll about. I dare you to NOT find yourself fanning yourself at 3 am on a Tuesday grinning like a cat reading the spicy scenes! It can’t be done! It just can’t! This book not only gives you steam and spice, and romance galore but it gives you so much laughter, healing of complex trauma both personal and generational, and a lot of sisterhood both familial, and found family too. (I’m looking at you Madam Alana, call me girl I love you!) You get to see and love these complex, compassionate, strong willed men and women who are changing their lives in the biggest ways. You’ll watch them open up to love, hope, healing, and be flawed in the most honest human ways. Some ways we can all understand if we are being honest. If you’re anything like me you’ll be wishing death upon everyone who hurt them. (I SMITE THEM ALL!!) You’ll be on the edge of your seat, reading all night and the racing back to your book the second you get a chance. Dying to know what happens next because let me tell you, Audrey Carlan is the PLOT TWIST QUEEN! Cliffhangers anyone? She serves them regularly! So trust me, if you start this book and love it, BE PREPARED AND BUY ALL THE BOOKS (you can thank the straight up feral me that was at 6 am downloading everything I could find on Kindle Vella like my life depended on it!) You won’t regret it, I promise!
To be clear this book specifically is book one/volume one of this series/season one and the other 3 books publishing same day are the full completion of this season/series of stories. They are currently also available on Kindle Vella BUT the books have TONS of extra content and important info so don’t miss out because you’ll be scrambling for any piece of content if you’re anything like me!
✨CW/TW: Please first and foremost check the trigger warnings, this is an ADULT spicy read and there is content that can be triggering though I would in no way classify this as dark romance. These folks have had difficult pasta and some they are still running to get away from, keep that in mind when reading the CW/TW so this helps you understand what those warnings might pertain to.
Thank you Blue Box Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review, thoughts are my own entirely.

Fascinating!
This story has so many characters and POVs that it is a bit overwhelming at first. Hang in there! I’ve already gotten attached to several of the characters and I’m interested to know what happens next. Enough that I purchased the next 3 audiobooks.
I really enjoy the multicast narration!
