4 1/2 stars."Sold" by Jaymie Holland (Cheyenne McCray) is a novella in `The Auction' series and centers around Christy Clarkson, a woman who is exploring whether she is comfortable with the BDSM scene. A charity auction which is being discretely supported by members of the BDSM Kink-club provides the opportunity for her to meet a dominant but she is startled to encounter her former lover, Zach Nikas, who first opened her eyes to this sensual world. Christy has matured a lot from the frightened novice who fled Zach's arms but she still has a lot to learn and Zach wants to be the Dominant who introduces her to all of the aspects of the lifestyle. Christy is a willing pupil for all of the lessons that Zach wants to impart but she still has to decide how much she is willing to entrust to the man whom still has his share of secrets that she is gradually uncovering. Christy has to decide whether their relationship is strong enough for her to give Zach her trust or will she run away from him once again?A delightfully spicy tale of one woman's introduction to some of the toys and devices used in conjunction with bondage and discipline. Some disbelief must be suspended since Christy has morphed from absolute rejection to wholehearted participation in pretty intense situations using a wide variety of positions, toys and punishments. She theoretically places absolute trust in Zach and derives extreme pleasure from his manipulations yet she fails to commit to that trust and Zach takes pretty radical steps to get her attention which seems a little iffy to me. Nevertheless, the story is very entertaining and I look forward to reading more in the Auction series. Night Owl ReviewsA copy of this title was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.
