In this Cinderella influenced story, Birdie wants to escape the clutches of her tyrannical stepmother, and she’s willing to do anything–even go up for a bridal auction. But that also means leaving the woman she’s in love with: her step sister Violet. But Violet refuses to let this end tragically, and approaches her wealthy ex, Alaric, to win Birdie’s auction. Feelings get all twisted up, and soon Birdie, Violet, and Alaric find themselves in a confusing mess of shared feelings.
My thoughts:
First, I loved the audiobook version of this story. It was expertly narrated by Stephen Borne, Michelle Sparks, and Angelina Rocca. It’s also quite short at 4.5 hours, so I flew right through it. I got all the things I love about a Sara Cate story in a quick burst.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Birdie, who is only 19, has a sort of endearing innocence despite the hard life she’s lived. And I love that Violet defies her despicable mother and sister and stands up for what’s right. Alaric has some morally gray tendencies that I would have liked to learn more about. But I always love a MMC who would burn down the world for the woman, or in this case, women he loves.
Great, quick listen with a some fun spice and great resolution.

This was a sexy, spicy, dark Cinderella retelling but the step sisters are hot for each other. Just like in the Disney version, the dad dies but in this version he was a grade A a-hole who abused his wife, daughter, and stepdaughters so he deserved to die. Now stepmommy dearest is taking everything out on Birdie that her dad did, even though she didn’t do anything to deserve it, so she forces her to enter the auction to be sold to the highest bidder to be wed and for her virginity. The only problem is, she’s in love with her step sister, and her step sister is in love with her. They come up with a plan for freedom but do plans ever go to plan? The Sara Cate spice was absolutely spicing on this one. There was some FF, MF, FFM action and it was hot hot hot!
Stephen, Angelina, and Michelle did incredible on this narration! Dual narration, so they each did their own chapters, but I think they portrayed each character perfectly!

Birdie and Violet have such a sweet, forbidden relationship. Stepsisters they may be, but I could feel how deep their connection was. Living under the thumb of Violet's mother, they turn to Alaric, Violet’s ex, to help them out.
How is he helping them out? Well, by buying Birdie’s hand in marriage in an auction, of course! And it ain't even as simple as that. So buckle up!
This was a spicy little novella and I truly enjoyed myself, listening to the audio in just a few hours. It was narrated by Michelle Sparks, Angelina Rocca and Stephen Borne. They were all well done, though I did find the male narrators's depiction of the women to be slightly off base. Just being honest!

Two stepsisters secretly in love. One auctioned by the evil stepmother. A delicious powerful man who claims them both.....it's such a fun set up. It is only a novella- so I calibrated my expectations. This one is light on backstory and larger character development and is more so an exploration of the relationship dynamics as these three find themselves together. The Cinderella elements are great, and it's a fast read. The more layered emotional punch you'd expect from a full length story isn't really the focus here (again it's a novella)- but it's got a good edge, plenty of kink and spice. Honestly, it would have been even more fabulous full length because there is so much to explore here. There are some dark elements as well (the auction/deflowering scene is intense) and a lot of tabooish vibes.
The audio is narrated by Michelle Sparks, Angelina Rocca and Stephen Borne. I loved Michelle and Angelina, and Stephen brought some good edge, even if this performance wasn't overall my favorite of his.

Birdie has been a captive in her own home ever since her father passed away leaving her in the care of her monstrous stepmother, and vindictive stepsister. Her only shining light is Violet, her other stepsister. The only one to be nice to Birdie, her entire life.
Violet has been planning to escape with Birdie as soon as she can get them away from her mother, until she finds out Birdie is going to be put up for auction. Not willing to let Birdie be sold of to a random high bidder, she implores her ex, Alaric to help her save Birdie.
Alaric begrudgingly helps Violet and Birdie, but unknowingly enters into a contract with many stipulations, and when feelings get muddled, and lines are crossed, the three have to decide which future they are fighting for.

Birdie is a 19 y.o. girl who is being put up for auction to be sold to the highest bidder in exchange for her virginity and hand in marriage. Her evil stepmother wants to be rid of her in the most humiliating way possible, but Violet, her step-sister is doing everything she can to keep Birdie out of the hands of someone truly horrible who will take her away forever. Violet and Birdie are actually lovers, and when Violet approaches her old flame, Alaric, a wealthy assassin, she pleads with him to help spare Birdie from a horrible fate so that they can run off and be together. At first, Alaric is not interested, but when he meets Birdie, he is instantly intrigued by her and does whatever is necessary to not only keep her out of the hands of someone nefarious but to also to keep her for himself.
The rest of the story is the three of them exploring this new dynamic that they share, exploring each other and opening their hearts to the possibility that this arrangement could actually last. But there are secrets that have to be exposed before they can truly move forward and they have to hope that Birdie will still want to stay after everything comes to light. In true Sara fashion, this novella was packed with spice but has rich character development that moves the story along seamlessly. And although I am not the biggest consumer of FF romance, I knew Sara wouldn't steer me wrong. Not surprisingly so, this is another fantastic story from our Queen Sara Cate.
Stephen Borne, Angelina Rocca and Michelle Sparks were fantastic on this novella, delivering performances that embodied each character well and made the story that much more vivid. Round of applause for all three performers.
Sara never misses

"I remember thinking that it was our job to protect her innocence, but now I realize it was never that at all. In fact, it was the opposite. It was our job to shatter it."
This was my introduction to the Black Rose Auction series and I absolutely devoured it! How Sara was able to cram so much plot and spice into such a short story is beyond me. She definitely accomplished something great though. This is what Cinderella would have been like had it been an adult film and not a kid's movie. LOL. I loved all of the nods to the original story while also reimagining it enough that it felt like a different story.
We follow Birdie who is forced into awful trauma by her step mother as a way to pay for the sins of her father, so to speak. But Clarissa, her step mother is much more evil than most people realize. She auctions Birdie off at the Black Rose Auction so that she won't be "burdened" by her any longer. Meanwhile, Birdie and her step sister Violet have fallen in love and make a plan to ensure Birdie's freedom. But what they don't expect is how cruel the terms & conditions are that Clarissa has in place for the winner of Birdie.
While there are some dark points in this, the story does end in a HEA. The spice is top notch spicy and dare I say some of Sara's spicy work yet. I could read a whole 'nother book just centered around the play party that takes place the weekend of the auction. YUM. It doesn't get much spicier than a love triangle between step sisters turned lovers and a wealthy man that has a dark past.
