I bought her at an auction. My best friend’s sister. How I wound up at the auction? I’m only here to close a multimillion-dollar deal.Until she walks out on stage.I could tell she didn’t recognize me. My best friend’s sister.The friend that’s no longer alive. She doesn’t know the truth about what happened to him.Before I could stop myself, I put in a bid. I was the asshole who got to walk away … I put in a bid.
I was the asshole who got to walk away with her on my arm.
That damn dress.
It left little to the imagination.
I told myself I wouldn’t touch her—shouldn’t touch her.
Not like this, not after bidding on her at some seedy underground auction.
But I wanted to make sure she was safe.
How could someone so gorgeous, classy, and smart be a virgin?
She said she couldn’t be bought.
But she was everything I never knew I wanted.
And now, she was mine.
All mine.

Sophia lost her job, her landlord gave her a notice to pay up or vacate premises. Her friend Lance recommended she meet Fiona. Fiona introduced her to the auction where Joe bid on her. What follows was so sensuous but also shows Joe’s self control. He put what Sophia need ahead of his desires. The story continues to portray Joe as a good guy who really loves Sophia. It was a great read.
Joe: Successful, gorgeous and very sweet doesn’t do justice to him. He’s beyond the average good looking guy. He has a past but that’s just it, it’s his past. It seems to be cropping up more often than it should. Joe has it all handled until he sees HER!
Sophia: Behind on her rent, and her internet bill, and all of her other bills, make her desperate. More so than she’s ever been. When her best friend suggests calling a lady friend of his for a job, Sophia laughs it off. She’s got this. Right? Okay, well maybe she’s working on getting it all handle. Eventually. Someday. She calls the lady friend. Here we go!
Suspense, romance, laughter and HOT sex set this book on a journey. It might be a bumpy ride but you’ll hang on to the end. Well written, well plotted and characters to love set this book apart from others. I found this book to be a perfect read no matter where you are. The twists keep it interesting. I knew immediately I was gonna enjoy this one. The characters personalities shine through. It appears as though Ms. Day sailed through the writing process. Get this one. You won’t be sorry.
I did find one issue. I felt things went too smoothly for Sophia and for Joe. The rescue scenes could have been a bit longer.
I gave this one 4 cheers out of 5 because of the reason above. copy of book provided by author and I voluntarily reviewed it.
Sold: Highest Bidder is a well written story of rising above/overcoming your circumstances. It also has your protective male hero and the female who needs his protection, but is still strong in her own right. HEA.
So what do you do when everything suddenly implodes on you? You lose your job, you’re being evicted out of your apartment, and the only thing you have left of value is you virginity? You auction it off of course, at least that’s what Sophie arranges to do. Unbeknownst to her, an unlikely bidder just happened to be in the crowd that night and all it takes is one look and he’s hooked! Joe has known Sophie for years as he was friends with her step brother Ty. To say their chemistry is off the hook is an understatement. I don’t want to give too much more away as I want you to red this fantastic story for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I personally cannot wait for the next installment and I know it’ll be just as awesome as this one was.
This book started out slow but it was a slow burn that due you in with the main characters coming together from different sides of the tracks. Sophia has always struggled to make ends meet and when it all falls apart and she looses everything her best friend Lance gives her a number to call that changes her life and now she is auctioned off to the highest bidder and what a hottie he is but can she go through with giving her virginity away to a stranger. Joe Francis was talked into going to an auction with his friend Geoff Foster as a business meeting but never did he think he would participate but one look at the woman on stage he new he had no choice to bid and stop Benji Cunning’s from getting her because she was his best friends sister Sophia. So where does it all lead them with so many twists and turns, gangs, kidnapping, threats coming at them is there a future at all. Get it, read it, love it.

An exciting start to this series.
Revelations about Joe are quite an eye opener to what kind of man he is, and Marlene is the shocker of them all.
Sophia is a gal after my heart as she is so practical in all aspects of her life and definitely a no brainer that Joe’s heart melts.
Eargerly looking forward to reading about Ty.
AMAZING! A fantastic, well written read. An intense storyline that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and hot chemistry. Plenty of excitement and emotionally heartfelt. A thrilling must read.
This book has a little bit of everything in it. From romance to a little suspense and of course a villain you love to hate. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and finished it in one sitting. For me it’s a definite must read!
So good! A favorite of mine by far. It has everything in it from joy and love, to kidnapping and revenge. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

He was the highest bidder at an auction for a virgin beauty…
An intricate & intriguing compelling story. He was a successful, filthy rich business man & she was about to be evicted as her rent was overdue. I won’t detail the story itself which has been outlined in the blurb & previous reviews but it was well written had a good pace & explored their pasts, their evolving relationship (toe curling sexy) & brought hope for their future together. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
This is the story of Joe and Sophia…Sophia is a young woman in NYC trying to make it on her own and is struggling. She recently lost her job and her best friend convinces her to participate in an “auction” where the highest bidder wins her and her virginity. Joe is the typical alpha male, wealthy business man (or is he?) who ends up at the auction and recognizes Sophia from his past. Sophia is his dead best friend’s sister and he can’t imagine what have happened to her to have her auctioning herself off. Joe wins the auction and the sparks start flying and they do.not.stop.
The night ends with her v-card still intact but it is clear they are both incredibly attracted to each other. As Sophia continues her job hunting, she responds to an ad for an admin position and it turns out it’s for Joe and his company. At this point, there is no denying their attraction. As they get closer and their relationship heats up, Joe is struggling with how to tell Sophia about his past, his history with her brother and what happened surrounding his death. At the same time, another not-so-pleasant person from his past has made themselves known and this individual is planning nothing but trouble.
Things come to a head when Sophia is kidnapped and Joe must not only face his past but reconnect with all those he left behind to save her. I will offer no spoilers but you will want to read this story! And the twist at the end!! Crazy!!
