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.

The story

I like the actors who spoke the character parts. They did a very good job on the story

WoW

I loved this book and ALL its characters. My first series with so many but very easy to follow along and I really like the different aspects of each character

Wow!

This was fantastic! I absolutely loved the premise for this book. I am sure glad it is an audiobook because reading it in episodes would not be for me!

So good!!!

This is one of those can’t put down books. Off to the next one. Very mature content.

Not what I thought

Great book! Love the different POVs with different voices. I can’t wait to start the second book

😢 IT’S ALL OVER.. but it was a wonderful journey

Once I started this addictive, multilayered, multifaceted, multi character rollercoaster I just couldn’t stop the fantastically written and expertly narrated sizzling, suspenseful, tension-filled ride.. so I didn’t 🫢🤫🥰.

A contract entered into freely by four desperate women who each have really good reasons to say “I do”.. but they will each, unknowingly, bring their boatload of problems with them. A stalking, powerful, villainous, dangerous ex desperate to capture the woman he thinks he owns. A childhood sweetheart whose dreams lay in pieces because she said it was over. Her drunken physically abusive father is Hell bent on gambling and drinking the family’s Ranch away - spurred on by the decades old feud between two neighbouring families. A big sister who wants to give her younger sister the bright future that’s been long extinguished from her own. And the younger sister who was protected and is fiercely loved by the big sister who sacrificed herself, took the sexual abuse, shielded her from the endless men visiting her mother in their trailer where they lived and doesn’t know she’s joining the Auction.

A hall full of rich billionaires all bidding for a contract into a loveless temporary three year marriage (well maybe not all).. and four will win the beauty he gets instantly drawn to from the ones paraded on stage. However, these determined handsome heroes have hopeful hearts, damaged hearts, hardened hearts, heavy hearts and layered backstories of their own too. … And then there’s the fifth couple too 🫢😉. And, over this unputdownable four book series, the days and months ahead are filled with emotions, chemistry, lust, heartbreaking backstories, slow burns, fast flames, tension, sacrifice, danger, suspense, sex, swoons, sweet, twists, torture and so so SO much more. Most importantly hope and happy ending.. for all their widespread futures in London, Greece, Sweden and here in the US.

Worth a credit? We’re talking four really.. and yes each and every one delivered big for me. And the homegrown and foreign characters, and ginormous amount of feels, were fantastically brought to life by the brilliant cast of narrators. There’s twelve POVs and the episodes flip in and out of each character’s emotions and good or bad situations so it takes concentration.. but the journey and feel good at the end is so SO worth it 😘.

Amazing book

I love volume one of this series. Truly exciting stories for all four ladies. The narrators really know how to bring these characters to life - accents included. Wonderful cast.

Captivating

Love the different point of views. Switching of characters and story line is amazing. Can’t wait to listen to the 2 part.

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!
