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.

I was surprised by this book. You see a billionaire book and think here we go nothing but sex with no plot. But it hasd a serious side, some parts I cracked up it was funny and a steamy side. Really enjoyed this book. hea
I am not going to lie I did have a little bit of an issue with this book. Mainly because I hate when people are bought and sold for certain reasons but this is an author that I enjoy so I run into read the book. Sadly I had a hard time connecting to the characters and I wasn’t able to fall deeply into the book like I do with a lot of other stories that I read so that ended up with me finishing the book and feeling kind of blah about it
Sophia is in an untenable situation, she is desperate. The decision she makes will change her life in ways she never anticipated. Joe wouldn’t even have been there if his client hadn’t wanted compelled his presence. He is shocked to see his best friend’s sister participating in an unorthodox auction. There is only one thing to do, make sure his bid is the highest. The book is a good mix of secrets, drama, intrigue, romance and danger to keep me entertained from start to finish.
Hot, steamy, sexy, sizzling! The chemistry between Sophia and Joe is certainly rockin. OMG the characters in this book are fun Sophia has a best friend Lance and he is a riot, Marlene is there as a gal pal. Then there’s one not so nice one Bengi.
There’s a lot of action, drama, suspense, it’s fun of twists and turns. A very good book full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and gave my honest opinion.
I must admit that I was expecting a steamy romance without a lot of depth that had a steamy romp on very second page What I got was so much more a strong story about a woman who is at the end of the line and about to sell the only thing she has of value I strong alpha hero who is just generally a nice guy and connections between them that where unknown to her The way this story builds has you turning pages as fast as you can Don’t judge this book by it’s cover it is so much more
Sophie is a strong woman who is more than capable of taking care of herself but things in her life of gone astray and she will have to make the ultimate decision and sell her virginity if she is to get her life back on track. Joe Francis is only at that auction because he is there to wrap up a business deal with a client and he has no intention of bidding That is until he recognises Sophie she is the younger sister of his dead best friend and when Benji a man he can’t stand makes the highest bid without thinking he tops it not wanting her to go to him. That doesn’t mean that he intends to do anything with Sophie just because he has bought her and he releases her untouched but when she starts working for his company as his PA he can no longer ignore the attraction he feels for her Can they have a future together you will have to read to see
When Sophia was working on getting back on her feet after several months of setbacks, she didn’t expect to be laid off from her telemarketing job when she was approached at her workstation to meet in the conference room. After sending out numerous applications with no call backs, she was really getting desperate. Prior to her getting let go, her friend had given her a slip of paper with a woman’s name and number that she should call as a possible solution to being able to get funds to help get her back on track. Not knowing exactly who or what this person does, she made the call and set up an appointment.
She finds out this is an auction and decides that she has no other alternative but to go through with it. Later that night, Joe is there to close a business deal in which he would rather it have been somewhere else, however, when he realizes who Sophia is, he cannot let another man bid on her, out bidding another man.
Once the auction is over, they are together in the hotel room. After he has seduced her, Joe eventually tells Sophia who he is, and tells her if she wants more, he will not give it to her as he wants her to beg for it and proceeds to leave her.
Still not being able in finding a job, her friend convinces her to apply at Joe’s company. Thinking that she probably wouldn’t ever see him, she goes ahead. Unbeknownst to her, the position she applies for is a direct report to him.
They meet and she is hired. As their relationship grows, there is an underlying threat from a person in Joe’s past and a threat to Sophia. This leads to Joe having to go back to someone in his past for help and her rescue.
During this time, Sophia realizes she hasn’t ever told Joe she loves him when he has already told her he loves her. The situation is resolved and they are able to be together.

This story was incredible and I couldn’t put it down. Sophia never thought she would have to sell herself to pay bills and rent. Joe didn’t want to be doing business at the auction but thanked god he was there when Sophia stepped on stage. He couldn’t believe his eyes when they landed on Sophia. When Joe and Sophia went there separate ways he didn’t believe he would see her again, much less at his company. Sophia couldn’t believe that Joe loved her and knew that she was the luckiest woman. When both Sophia and Joe got together at the end of the story fireworks went off. I received a free copy from the author and reviewed voluntarily.
When this book started, I wasn’t quite sure what I’d gotten myself into. I was immediately charmed by Sophia and could so easily sympathize with all the bad luck that landed her in the position she was in. On the other hand, I didn’t much like Joe at all in the beginning. The first encounter we see between him and Sophia made me want to smack him for being such a demeaning alpha-hole. Then the story takes a couple of turns and I was hooked. There are several unexpected twists that now make me desperate to know what’s coming in the next book.

Sophia finds herself in financial need so she decides to auction herself off to the highest bidder. Joe her deceased brothers best friend ends up being the highest bid.
This story was intense, well-written with great characters and a storyline that kept me turning the pages. Sophia was a strong, independent and feisty character. Joe was all alpha male with a tender heart and plenty of secrets. There was intrigue, danger, mystery, secrets, emotions, passion, steam and love. Highly recommend!

I carried my kindle around with me, plopping down to immerse myself in this love story, breathless!
There’s a lot going on here, Not an insta-love for simpletons.
You’ll feel for these people because it’s all about heart.
It’s KU; just read it!
“Sold” is about the interesting romance of Joe, a billionaire, and Sophia the sister of Joe’s deceased best friend. Sophia auctions her virginity to be able to pay her bills after getting laid off from her job and meets Joe, the man who won the bid. This is a sweet romance and a tale of revenge, jealousy, and envy. With drama, some action and steamy chemistry thrown in to make this an all-round wonderful tale with a HEA. This is an excellent choice to read.
Sophia and Joe were characters I really liked, along with Lance and Jean. The storyline and all the characters could be true today. The author stuck to the story with the dialog flowing with it. The auction started it with a bang. The build up was something you must read to know the ending. I recommend this book.
Very intense, raw, graphic, with dangerous undertones behind this intriguing romance. Joe was the best friend of Sophia’s brother before her brother died mysteriously. Sophia found herself in trouble financially so she made the dubious decision to auction herself off to the highest bidder in order to be flush once again. That is when her troubles really began. She and Joe had a dangerous future in store. This book is a real page-turner. I wanted to read faster but at the same time, I did not want to miss anything. Jolie Day writes mysterious stories that I cannot put down once I start reading. Sold: Highest Bidder is an excellent example of her work.

A Billionaire who Swoops in to Save the Day
I am a growing fan of Ms Jolie Day. I’ve now read several novels by her and have enjoyed each one. In this novel, the story of Sophia and Joe sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go! We have romance, humor, intrigue, well-developed characters and a believable (ok…kinda sorta) storyline. Ms Day is a great author! It’s been awhile since I read a book that I enjoyed so much. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
I received and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I really enjoy this book. I fell in love with Joe. A billionaire business owner. A great boss. A nice guy, yet very tough. Sophia. A strong independent woman. Down on her luck. She is awesome, and the snark… I loved it. Read this in one day. I highly recommend.

Can one sell her V-card?
by Happy-Girl
It’s not the first time I read a book about a desperate or forced girl to auction her v-card. It seems an unreal situation.
But there was a brother’s BF … and I love this author, so I decided to try.
And I was happy about it! I loved this book!
Joe is a rich, handsome, and fair man, with shady secrets in his past.
Sophia is a lovely girl, in and out, and she’s in financially dire circumstances. Through a male BF, she knows that “Fiona” could help her but didn’t know exactly how. At first, Fiona’s proposal shocked her, after then she decided to try.
That’s where she met Joe. He was the one that recognized her as the sister of Tyler, his dead BF, and all at once, he decided to bid and help her and it was an instant attraction for Joe. Sophia was anxious at first, but then relaxed (sex, even light sex is this way!!) and Joe become her hero!
I won’t spoil the plot, but I loved the main characters: they’re passionate, strong, and loyal. When they worked together (Joe is the Boss) I loved their carefree interaction! And then Joe’s past threatened their life and HEA is assured!
This book ends with a surprise that will be also the prequel of the next book! Wow!
