Book 1 of 5: His For A Week

See all formats and editions

She messed with the wrong billionaire. One who always gets what he wants. And what he wants is to devastate her...

Determined to expose the shady billionaires who “buy” women for a week, undercover journalist Kimani Taylor puts herself up for sale at the secretive Scarlet Auction and checks the box that says she’s up for anything—no matter how dirty and wild. When she’s purchased by a wealthy, abusive jerk, she ends up stuck in a remote cabin and in physical danger.

Hunky international billionaire Benjamin Lee happens to come to her rescue, but he’s no knight in shining armor. From the moment he set eyes on Kimani, even though her defiant gaze told him to “eff” off, he’s determined to have her for himself. An experienced Dominant, he intends to ravage her with his sinful repertoire.

However, Kimani isn’t the docile pet he expected from reading her Scarlet Auction description. Not only is she not simpering at his feet like most women he’s come across, she seems hellbent on keeping him at arm’s length. But Benjamin Lee is used to getting his way, and he fully expects to have her gasping and writhing beneath him—and begging for more.

If Kimani submits to Benjamin’s scorching touch, she risks losing her scoop and the chance to uncover the Scarlet Auction’s criminal activities. If Benjamin gets his way with her, she’ll become the biggest mistake he’s ever made…

Trigger warnings: This dark billionaire romance is for readers 18 and up who like smart, daring heroines and billionaires who can dominate in all the right ways. BOUGHT is the first book in a 4-book serial in which the action gets hotter and hotter and hotter.

GREAT BOOK!

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021

WARNING: This novel contains strong and explicit language, graphic scenes or other sensitive or taboo content that may be disturbing to some readers. This is BDSM auction book.

Kimani signed up to be bid on at the Scarlett Auction after her friend had attended and returned home covered in bruises. She planned to get auctioned off to write an expose story. She had no plans to actually having sex.

Ben is not looking forward to spending time with a man he needs as a contact to help his uncle's basketball team and is totally disgusted with his invitation to join him in attending a sex auction. That was until he arrived at the cabin and saw one of the women that Jake had purchased. He doesn't know what came over him but when he saw her bruised and swollen cheek he decided to buy her from Jake.

This book is part of a continuing series. The cliffhanger just let's you know that Kimani and Ben's story continues to book two. This book is very well written and the characters are full of depth. The sex is smoking hot and I would recommend this book to anyone who read this genre. Great story by Em Brown!

I got this book for free. I had no clue what I was getting into! Warning! This story is not complete; there is a cliffhanger of sorts. You must get the next book to know what happens. I think this book completes the first day the girls arrive and part of the second day. The main character is trying to expose the auction and its buyers to secure a job for herself and help a friend, but she is having to fight herself as her "new" buyer is pushing her to experience things she never experienced before...and she may just like it.

The story is well written, even if the content is far from my normal read. Several of the characters are shallow and ignorant. The girls have varying ideas about the things they are experiencing, but they all seem to enjoy it...or maybe it's the payout they get at the end of the week. But the main characters are intriguing. The storyline is interesting. I just hate that it stopped abruptly like maybe it was released as a serial. 2.5 stars

Warning: This is definitely erotica and BDSM. There is f/f interaction. Adults only

Another winner by Em Brown! A little darker than her usual, but HOT STUFF!

What a wonderful beginning to another series by Em Brown. I am most familiar with Em Brown's erotic regency books, but this contemporary one is fabulous.

Although we just have the first couple of days of the 'week', it's already given me a lot of action, angst, and a smart sassy heroine and a most worthy hero. I think that I will remember that not all good looking, wealthy guys are worth the trouble; and that, sometimes the quiet ones can be both attractive and have depth to their character.

A lesson here might be look before you leap, or I could wind up in a really bad situation. There might not be a Ben to rescue me. Another lesson might be that no work assignment is worth being abused and debased.

If you like the premise of wealthy billionaires bidding on young girls, some very innocent ones, who get a week to make a lasting connection. Erotic sex. A heroine and hero taking it slower and getting to know each other. He's experienced and she is pretending to be someone she is not. This is a great beginning to one of Em Brown's best works. Some behind the scenes sleuthing by both of them, make for fun reading.

I received this book as an ARC, but the choice to read and review the book was left to me to decide. It was a pleasure to read and review this beginning for you. Five Stars from me!

I Kamani wants a job at a San Francisco Tribune as a journalist but she wants to do an expose' but Sam the editor is having none of it because it could put the paper in jeopardy. Kamani has other ideas and convinces Sam to let her go undercover to the Scarlet Auction and she will keep him informed. She gets the job because of her friend who told her a little about what happened to her and what she was paid and the fact that she was badly beaten she still refused to tell Kamani anything else. Once she is in she realizes that the attorneys that are going over the NDA's that they all have to sign before attending the auction. The problem was no one got to read the hold thing and she was upset because she didn't know what she was in for. Once she was in line to go on stage was the first time she got to see or talk to the other women talk to anyone because they had all been separated until the auction. All virgins cost the most and then the other beautiful women were bid on, they were required to spend a week with the men who purchased them and if everything went well they were paid 40% of their cost. They were shocked, well Kamani was shocked that they could not get their phones or luggage with them they were put into a limo and away they went in this case to a small town and they were staying in a 3 story cabin and they both were actually shocked they are sent down to the basement until needed. This is a very interesting look into what can happen when the rich want to play. and the women willing to play with them. I purchased this book. I am providing an honest review.

Falsely led

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

This series has potential, the plotline is alright, the sexual scenes are decent. If you can get past some of the actions and words of the characters it isn't all bad. Would have given a 3-4 star if it was an actual story, but it isn't. It's just a tease when things started to get interesting and it's dragged out into 5 short experts of what should be one to two novels. I dont care for authors just looking to mislead and make you buy the next novel, I should want to buy it because it's worth it, not because im forced to. This isn't the cliffhanger it should be. Will not be recommending and will not be purchasing anything else from this author.

Binge read the whole series

After the first book I binge read the whole series in two days. Holy cow. Although I found myself at odds with some of the fl's decisions and her thought process (I mean, she positions herself at the mercy of others for her story and her roommate, but not once did it cross her mind she might be in want of a GPS tracker or more than two recording pens?) the story captivated me.

Bought(His For A Week Book 1) is as surprising as it is evocative! While reading Bought the author managed to make me feel like I was right there and not reading but experiencing! It challenged me to feel the reality’s taking place! I wasn’t ready when the story stops without warning and you need book 2 immediately because your left hanging!

This isn't my usual type of book. I must be one of the few people on the planet that hasn't read 50 shades or seen the films. The idea just doesn't butter my bread. But one of the great things about authors giving out free books is that it offers the opportunity to step outside of your norm and try a genre that you usually wouldn't.

What's great about this story is that there is a story. And a well written one to boot.

Kimani, a buddying reporter goes undercover to investigate the dark and mysterious world of the Scarlet Auction after discovering her roommate's abuse. But being a fly on the wall observer just won't get the job done. To get the story she has to immerse herself in the world of BDSM.

Benjamin Lee has no involvement in the Scarlet Auction but the man he needs to do business with does. He never thought he would end up buying a sub, he's not the kind of man who needs to but when he sees Kimani he has to have her and he's willing to pay.

Definitely not romantic but very intriguing. Enjoy peeps 😉

Great story with gripping action, too short though.

Reviewed in Australia on December 1, 2019

I really enjoyed this, unfortunately if I want to get to the end of the story I will need to buy the box set of books 1-5. This book really does get the blood moving, creating interest in bdsm against my better judgement.
I have another of the author's collections to read first but look forward to reading the rest of the books soon.
