Summary

Destroying my partner became sweeter when his daughter stepped on stage at a charity auction.

But I don’t want her for a month.

I’m upping my bid to make her sign for a year.

Her strong will, independence, and defiant attitude toward her family indulges my carnal desires and need for revenge.

I’ll break her, train her, and turn her into the compliant woman she didn't know existed within her.

Every second, she’ll be my pawn in the secret game of retaliation I’m going to win.

Then I’ll present my pet to all of LA, including her father.

After our year is up, the damage will be done.

She’ll be free to go, and I’ll move forward with my life without her father, or anyone associated with him in it—including her.

The Auction is the first book of the Club Indulgence Duet. It’s a forbidden love, age-gap, dark billionaire romance with forced proximity.

maggie cole strikes again!

I'm a big fan of maggie's books, she pulls you in with great characters, a fantastic well written storyline and phenomenal choice in narrator's for her books who always give us a truly exceptional performance and this book delivers in spades. it's so good I'm going straight to the second book, even though its almost 1am!

You can't help but fall in love with Riggs and Bla


The Auction: A Dark Romance (Club Indulgence Duet book 1)


Another excellent age gap, forbidden, dark romance from Maggie Cole which was brought to life by the ever talented Connor Crais and Ava Lucas.


Riggs and Blakely's father have been successful business partners for years, that is until Riggs realises Blakely's father has been stealing money from the company.  Riggs starts to plan his revenge which is given an unexpected boost when Blakely accidentally finds herself on the stage at a charity auction.  Riggs has always been intrigued with Blakely and decides to bid for her for a year instead of the usual month - is this because of his need for revenge or a thirst for something else?


Blakely is a loveable, strong-willed young woman, who left behind her family and their problems, to live independently and pursue her passion.  Blakely finds herself at the Auction whilst trying to escape her fathers men who had been chasing her.  What could be worse, being auctioned off, or being returned to her father?   Blakely decides the auction is the best option, despite being totally clueless about subs and doms, plus a lot of other terms in the contract. 


What follows is a rollercoaster of an emotional ride, with Riggs trying to train his new, defiant, sub and getting the balance of 'playtime' and life correct whilst still working on the ultimate revenge on Blakely's father.  In true Maggie Cole style, there are some very hot scenes, some 'what are you actually doing Rigg's' questions, heart gripping and heart breaking moments and well, what a cliffhanger!  I cannot wait to listen to the final part of this amazing duet.

Sheer Perfection

I finished reading as well as listening to “The Auction” and I took sometime to comprehend my thoughts. Its safe to say I am awed.... Its not anything I was even remotely expecting. It surpasses all the benchmarks I had earlier even for books having BDSM components. It is a concoction of powerful passion, beauty, understanding, compassion, love, and devotion. There is this strength of loyalty as you peel back each layer. I can go on and on but I guess the reader/ listener should internalize this by oneself.

I have always been in love with the voice of this specific duo wonderful narrators. There is no doubt that this was another addition to each one of their long lists of wins. They were brilliant and brought out the characters impeccably. The depth and passion in the voice of Connor Crais matched that of Ava Lucas, in ways, I cannot express.

Thanks to the whole team , kudos to Maggie Cole and the narrators for bringing out this presentation for us. It was not just a story, but an experience. I cannot wait for the second part!!

Excellent storyline

This book is brilliant. With an addictive storyline and well written characters I was hooked. I love how this plot has twists and turns, it’s not as straightforward as you would think. A fantastic performance.

Amazing!

I was reading the ebook but when I realised the audiobook was out I rushed to buy it. Love love love this book it’s my first from Maggie Cole and it won’t be my last. Riggs is everything but I can’t help want to slap him for what he did to Blakely it’s going to take a lot to redeem himself so I’m off to read The Vow now as it’s not out on audio yet .

Get ready for the wild ride!

Maggie Cole always captures my attention with her books. This one is no exception. The first in the Club Indulgence Duet, we meet Blakely. Running from her father, she breaks free from her kidnappers only to find herself in an auction to be a submissive. Not realizing what she is in for, she is bought by her teenage crush and father's partner, Riggs. Riggs had helped her father build his empire, and found out he was being double crossed. Now seeking his own revenge, and fulfilling the one desire he has had for years, he will use Blakely. A true dom, he wants complete submission and needs to prove to the club that he has it within two weeks of his purchase of her. And our story begins. There is so much to this story, layers of history and looks to the future. Riggs is an obsessive man, knowing what he wants, but doesn't want to give into his feelings. Blakely wears her heart on her sleeve, her love always evident. But will it be enough once the truth of Riggs's betrayal is exposed? And what will become of Blakely's father? I loved all the different relationships, from the controlling parents, concerned with appearance and greed to the true feelings of Riggs and Blakely. The story isn't over, and the cliffhanger has me wanting to hear what is going to happen to this family and couple! It's exciting, sensual, and spicy!

How could it be better? Connor Crais and Ava Lucas are the story tellers, and boy do they tell the story! Crais is the alpha male, dominant and confused all at the same time. I love how he can give that overpowering feeling with a hint of vulnerability, creating a character with depth. Lucas as Blakely gave me a little music as Blakely's writing music, and I love her feisty portrayal of her. She keeps that spunky vibe even with her submission! I can't wait for second part of this duet!

Forbidden Love Age-Gap Billionaire Romance

The Auction by Maggie Cole is a forbidden love age-gap billionaire romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Connor Crais and Ava Lucas. This is the first book in the Club Indulgence Duet.

I absolutely love Maggie's books! She does an amazing job pulling me into the story. I loved the chemistry between Riggs and Blakely. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

The book ended on a cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series The Vow to be released on audio so I can get more of their story.

Connor and Ava did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like billionaire romances, dark romances, age-gap romances, forbidden romances, or forced proximity romances.
