Hello Theo - fanning my face - when will you be coming over from Greece?! Oh my, definitely a hot and steamy romance from Carmen Falcone. Amaya decides to auction of her virginity in order to pay for the care of her autistic brother. Ever since her sister and her parents have died, she is struggling to keep her brother in the right care.
Enter Theo, dark and brooding Greek, who needs a virgin for a "practice run" before his actual marriage to a wealthy Greek virgin. The marriage has been arranged by his father, in order to ensure the stability of their company and to make sure all the coworkers are able to keep their job. So, a noble cause to marry. Although Theo would prefer to marry out of love.
When he buys Amaya, he didn't count on the fact that she is funny, witty and ever so enticing. So, they end up having multiple "practice runs" in different places... (still fanning here...).
Below this story, there is yet another story about the deaths of Amaya's parents and the intermingling of interests of Theo's uncle in the business. So, not everything is fun and games.
An entertaining read, four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

First, I will admit that it has been quite a while since I have read a romance novel. Also, I admit that I always go into reading them expecting cliches and so-so story lines. While this was pretty cliche, I did find the story line to be a lot better than expected. Not to mention, the majority of the setting took place in Greece!

I loved that the main character, Amaya, had some depth to her. With the loss of her parents and her sister, as well as taking care of her brother, she has a lot on her plate. Enough to make anyone want to fold and become negative. However, she did not. She was so upbeat. I really enjoyed that. For Amaya, being given the chance to earn a mass amount of money was a risk worth taking. Her Greek Billionaire also did not disappoint. I did find his personality a little all over the place, but he was nice to think about nonetheless. I would have loved to delve a little more into their backstories, but that is not really what this book set out to do.

As per the romance, it didn't really... get me going. Honestly, I don't think there was enough build up or sexual tension. However, I could see how a lot of romance readers would truly enjoy this book.

All in all, I did enjoy this read. It was quick, it was steamy, and it was interesting.

Very Much enjoyed Falcone's tale of Love conquering all. Amaya must get money to keep her brother in a safe environment. Only thing she can sell is her own innocence. The Highest bidder is Theo who finds that Amaya does not need him as much as he needs her. Great romantic story. "A copy of this book was provided by Entangled via NetGalley with no requirements for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion."

I actually enjoyed this book, The characters were likeable .....I was hoping everything turned out great for Amaya, especially for giving up something so precious to care for her autistic brother....and then there’s Theo sounds like one sexy Greek and you hope he doesn’t hurt her in more ways then one.......great read.....

While I liked the book, there was a lot of untapped potential in the plot. Yes it's erotica, but the story could have been much more. The characters were interesting and had me rooting for a happily ever after. The sex is steamy and the chemistry is off the charts. The rest of the story could have been better developed as it was interesting, yet it came across more as filler between sex scenes. I liked it enough to read the author again. There were a few characters whose stories I want to read.

This was too short, totally could have read a couple hundred more pages. This was sweet, sexy hot, and fun to read. Definitely an author to read more from.

3.5 Star Rating

Soooooooo, this pretty much reads like you'd think it would. Not in a bad way, more in a predictable one though. Again, not that THAT'S bad either.

Amaya has seen better days. After her parents were killed a year ago, she's become the only one left to help take care of her severely autistic brother. But that comes with a hefty bank account that she doesn't have. So it looks like the only way to help her brother is to do the one thing she didn't think she'd have to....auction off her virginity.

Theo is a billionaire. Ok, so he's also a very good looking billionaire. So why is he at an auction house betting for the virginity of some random girl? Good question. I'm not ruining that one for you, you'll just have to read this to find out. Although Theo had his reasons, Amaya starts getting under his skin. So much so that every single plan he's had seems unimportant now. But is he willing to alter his plans for new ones?

This is a quick read that will definitely leave you with all the feels. But if you're looking for some sort of twist, you won't find it. This is a straight forward HEA.

I received this book for free for an honest review. Although you can predict what is going to happen in this book it also has good characters and some twists and turns I don’t see coming. I’ve already looked into more books by Carmen to read.

I’d do anything to save my brother.So when I discover Madame Alexa’s Virgin Auction by accident, it feels like the answer to everything.Auction off the one thing that’s still mine to give.It’s just sex.When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Carmen Falcone is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

If you like your romances, spicy and sexy - this is definitely one for you !!

The characters quickly draw you into the story and I felt invested in them very quickly - hoping for a happy ending - I don't want to give anything away - I hate spoilers !!!

I absolutely loved this and if this is your genre so will you !!

I haven't read any of the authors books before but she is definitely on my must read list!!

Sexy and with a bit of spice - this one is a winner! Amaya is a young woman of very modest means who feels forced to auction off her virginity to meet the mounting debt of caring for her handicapped brother. Theo is a billionaire who needs to prove something to himself when his bids on Amaya. Before long, they've both gotten more than they bargained for....both good and bad.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. Despite what amounted to prostitution, the author made me fall in love with the characters and want them to get a HEA ending. Even as things began imploding, I still held out hope for them.

If you enjoy your romance extra sexy, you will love this book. Put this one at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.
