The witty and sarcastic Sadie is a personal assistant to her best friend, who has Married Well. At a charity event, a mishap with an expensive Chinese vase that is supposed to be auctioned off leaves Sadie holding the bag. In order to makeup the cost, Sadie allows herself to be auctioned off in its place. When she is bought by the fabulously wealthy and seemingly crazy Malcolm, the sparks fly.  While this is a very sexy romp, the writing is WAY above most of the drivel that passes for "erotica" these days.Sadie's observations and interactions with the other characters are screamingly funny.  My only lament is this is a short installment of a continuing story. (But, I am not going to penalize the review for this fact. To me, that is like buying a cupcake and then complaining that it is not a cake.) This story is seriously addictive, though. I really want to find out what happens next with Sadie and Malcolm...There is plenty of really funny dialog and an actual plot, but there is only one (really steamy) scene. Neither Sadie nor Malcolm are the typical, one-dimensional characters who exist only to have sex in this genre.  Although cranky and sarcastic, Sadie gallantly and generously takes the blame for the breakage of the vase, rather than throw a lowly-paid assistant under the bus. With his loopy sense of humor and hints of (gasp!) vulnerability, Malcolm, too, is not the typical testerone-overloaded-pushy-alpha-male.This was a free download, and what a gem! Even the editing was excellent; I found no typos, grammatical errors or goofy formatting. Take a chance and buy it! It will tickle your funny bone and (ahem) other places, too.
