The Auction

Club Indulgence Duet, Book 1

De: Maggie Cole

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Ava Lucas

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.

Entertaining... but needed a bit more substance

The narrative was perfect,. I love both voice actors. The plot started strong for me, and then fizzled. Don't get me wrong, I listened to the whole book. I'm thinking book two will be more scrumptious. Blakely really is stronger then she thinks.

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.

spicy and refreshing

This book was not only spicy in the best of ways, but the storyline was unique and refreshing. If you love the taste of the forbidden, aka father's business partner and an age gap, with a ton of spice and a revenge plot this is the book for you! I absolutely flew through this audiobook. The narrators did a phenomenal job with this duel narration. The way this man defiles her on an insanely expensive piano, is my new rent-free scene. I was blushing, I was laughing, and I was fully engaged.

Phenomenal, Perfection, Engrossing, & Entertaining

Connor Crais is the perfect narrator to bring Riggs Madden to life in surround sound. Connor captures all the elements of Rigg's unique, powerful, dominating, and very sexy personality. You will devour every chapter where Riggs is center stage. Connor emanates Rigg's sex appeal and his overall alpha behavior when it comes to Blakely and his need to make her his. Rigg's comes to life in this narration and you can feel every emotion ten times over with the brilliant performance delivered by Connor Crais.

Ava Lucas captures Blakely Fox (Gallow) with sheer passion and dedication to the character. She demonstrates her strength, determination, desires, need, and makes the audience fall hard for the amazing person that is Blakely Fox. Blakely is a woman determined to get out from under her father's ruthless demands. She has found her own identity and through this she has prospered in the new world she built. Ava Lucas captures all of this through her narration of Blakely's chapters. Blakely's strength is emanated through Ava's perception and delivering of this powerful audio narration. You will fall hard for both these amazing characters. You will devour every second of their relationship as it grows and prospers throughout this novel. These amazing narrators bring out all the emotional turmoil that exists in this novel and will you leave you wanting more when it comes to the end. I am confident you will fall more in love with Blakely and Riggs after hearing this narration.

Connor & Ava are the perfect pairing for these amazing characters and you will fall so hard for their emotional rollercoaster ride from forbidden lovers, enemies to lovers, sub/dom relationship, and their overall desire and need for each other that radiates off every word that is spoken in this phenomenal book. Don't worry their story isn't over yet and we get to hear their epic conclusion in "The Vow" and I know that Connor and Ava are going to deliver another amazing performance for these unforgettable and all consuming characters of Riggs & Blakely. Happy Listening!!!
