Maisy doesn’t take many risks, choosing instead to live vicariously through romance audiobooks while she cleans offices and school buildings after hours. Doesn’t it figure that the first time she accepts an invitation for a night out with the cool girls, she ends up being auctioned off against her will in front of a room full of billionaires?
Cutthroat CEO Jack Lincoln has been watching innocent Maisy for months. Dreaming of her. Finding out everything there is to know about her. He’s a hard-hearted man who has no business with such a sweetheart, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before another man outbids him at this depraved club. There’s one hitch, though. Their purchased night together must be witnessed by the other members—and they’re eager for a show.
Jack will do everything in his power to make the experience right for Maisy…and it isn’t long before they’re lost to each other’s touch, forgetting about everyone else in the room. But when the spell is broken, Jack will have to pull out all the stops to keep his beautiful girl forever. And that means bearing his soul to Maisy, allowing his cold heart to be thawed one stolen kiss at a time…and praying she finds him worthy.
I’ll have the girl who’s captured my heart. And I’ll play dirty to get her, because it’s the only way I know how.
When JK blesses you with an almost full-length book, you know you're in for a good time!
Here's what you get in this book:
➡️ Off-the-charts steam ➡️ Slow-burn insta-love (oxymoron? I know, but it's true!) ➡️ Age-gap ➡️ Likeable MCs ➡️ Voyeurism ➡️ Daddy-kink (we're not gonna talk about this)
We’re filthy. It’s like we’ve accepted it, embraced it, and now we’re owning it.
Jack has been obsessed with Maisy for almost six months, watching over her, without ever making contact. However, one night Maisy lands up being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that's when Jack intervenes.
I can’t look away from his eyes, they’re so intense. So beautiful. They’re courting my trust and I have no option but to hand it over.
This was such a steamy, yet adorable book, and Jack might be my favourite JK hero ever!
Spoiling Maisy isn’t the way to her heart. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to do it. Excessively. I just have to remember to carve open my chest and show her the inner workings of Jack Lincoln somewhere along the way…and hope she redeems me.
The only reason why I'm not rating this a solid 4 ★ is because of the whole voyeurism thing, that dressing room scene in particular kinda scarred me for life 🙈
I hope JK gives us another longer book soon, because it really gave the characters a chance to be fleshed out!
“God, Maisy, I love you so much, I can barely fucking breathe,” he grinds out against my mouth, eyes flashing possessively, hands tightening on my knees. “Tell me you’re mine. Tell me you’re mine forever.” “I’m yours. Forever.” “And I’m yours,” he says thickly in my ear. “So fucking yours.”
P.S. This was my first time Buddy-reading smut... Lmao, it sure was an entertaining experience with my dear Shiv ♥
I mean everything I say, to the T. I’ll have the girl who’s captured my heart. And I’ll play dirty to get her, because it’s the only way I know how.
Oh my my..... Do you know what is the best feeling in the world ? Well, let me tell you, it’s when your wish finally comes true and it’s so much more than you expected. And that’s what happened with me, this smut queen delivered us another sensual and erotic romance but more lengthy instead of a short novella. I only had one complaint that I wanted more after reading her previous books, pretty sure it wasn’t just me and this time she gave us more than enough to sate our cravings. It made me so happy that I couldn’t help doing a giddy dance (which might have made my sis question my sanity) , my excitement was that high. I devoured every single delicious page of this book without any break.
To say he’s good looking would be an understatement, with his wind-whipped black hair, a square jaw and piercing blue eyes. All that abundantly muscled height. If I didn’t know for a fact how poorly he treats my mother, I would call him a romance hero in the flesh, but facts are facts. He’s a romance villain.
Maisy is eighteen year old and has spent most of her life working and reading so when she finally decides to go on an adventure with her two friends, things take a wrong turn or maybe it was the right turn since she ends up meeting the man of her life Jack Lincoln. She ends up at an auction where she is forced to participate by the host himself, just when it seems there’s no way out, her knight in shinning armour comes and rescues her by bidding on her but things are never that easy.
Murmuring starts behind me and I use the guests’ distraction as another chance to look at Maisy. Jesus. She’s so beautiful, she rattles me. Goodness radiates from her every pore. Makes me want to pray, to thank a higher power for creating her, when I haven’t acknowledged my maker in years.
Jack was smitten with maisy from the moment he saw her for the first time when she came to pick up her mother who works as a maid at his house and for the next six month, stalks her sometimes through pictures taken by one of his guy and sometimes himself by hiding in front of her apartment when he’s unable to resist. He knows every single thing about her from likes to dislikes, so he’s beyond surprised when he hears that she’s at an auction and knows without a doubt she’s not there willingly and goes on to save her, both excited and nervous to talk to her for the first time.
Every man in this room is morally corrupt, including Jack. So why am I putting my hand in his? Why am I twining my fingers through his much larger ones and moving into the protective heat of his side? It makes no sense.
As always, in true Jessa kane fashion, the chemistry and the lust is off the charts hot and so tangible. It’s like they crave each other’s proximity. When he wins the bid, the twist is that they have to consummate in front of all the other bidders and there’s is no way they can back out.
It’s animal instinct I was unaware I possessed until this second, when the vultures are circling the bed and ogling what’s mine. Lusting for her. Their coveting of Maisy has tickled my need for domination. To leave no doubt who wears the crown.
The way Jack handled the situation was both erotic and romantic. I had my doubts how it was going to be played and whether I’ll be comfortable or not but somehow it turned intense and explosive in the best way possible.
”God. God, you’re incredible,” I rasp, ripping the top of her dress down to her waist, then ramming my hips up between her splayed thighs, groaning over the sight of her virgin tits rebounding, bouncing back into place. “Still just you and me, angel,” I say, my lips traveling over her sweeter, younger ones, swallowing her gasps. “Just you and me. We’re going to fuck now.” She nods, her eyes unfocused. “I know. I w-want to.”
It felt as if it was just two of them and it was a good surprise to know that Maisy had a kink of exhibitionism in herself which made it all the more hotter.
”I’m not a good man,” he rasps in between breaths. “But I can be very good at giving you what you need. Give me a chance to prove it.” I don’t know what to do. This man is a puzzle with dark and light pieces. He’s charming sometimes, domineering others. He does good deeds and performs wicked ones.
For Jack, she was the one but she had her doubts since she knew next to nothing about him especially the way her mom had described him to her. The next day when she meets him, he puts a condition that she’ll get her share of amount in instalments in exchange for dinner with him each time. Sensing there’s more to him than the asshole act he puts up, she gives him three days to prove her wrong.
”You’re not inadequate, Jack,” I whisper. “Not in any way.” A brisk laugh leaves him. “I’m a work in progress, is that it?” I shake my head. “That implies I want to change you. I don’t.” He searches my eyes. “What do you want to do, angel?” “Uncover you.” I lift up on my toes and tease our lips together. “And you’re already letting me, just by telling me you feel inadequate.”
Man, I was honestly jealous of Maisy. Jack spoiled her rotten, treated her like a queen, making all her wishes come true. He more than proved her just how right he was for her in those wonderful and dreamy three days. Those days were filled with lots of filthiest, steamiest, dirtiest times, exploring maisy’s kink, sharing their deepest secrets and insecurities, playful times and the blooming of love. They seemed like true soulmates.
”You’re a horny.” Slap. “Little.” Slap. “Brat. And everyone knows it, don’t they?” Slap.” “Yes,” Maisy moans, pressing her cheek to the carpet and arching her back, receiving the strikes of my hand like a long-lost lover, her cries those of a girl in heat. They saw from her throat with every smacking blow to her tight flesh, the torn panties she still wears allowing for no mysteries. I see her wet, little hole and I smack her there, too, roughly, turning her thighs to two trembling columns. “Daddy, I need Daddy.”
Jessa gave us another drool worthy alpha. Jack was commanding, handsome, intense, domineering, sometimes insecure, damaged, funny, smooth dirty-talker, possessive and so freaking romantic. if I could steal him, I undoubtedly would.
”How is that you’re arrogant in so many ways, while being completely insecure in others?” “I’m arrogant in my abilities. Making deals, surprising you, taking you places, giving you pleasure.” He hesitates. “It’s the moments in between where I don’t know what, if anything, I have to offer. While you, angel…you’re like this beautiful balm over a scar, erasing the possibility of anything ugly in the world. Grace and honesty and optimism and forgiveness.”
Maisy was the match made just for him. She radiated innocence, beauty, loving and forgiving personality with a naughty side to her which he so passionately brought out in her, just like she healed him and made him see how perfect he was.
I press my mouth to her ear, rear back with my hips and slam into her. Hard. “New panties and shoes and dresses. You like the way I spoil your hot, young pussy?” Her breath catches, her flesh squeezing around mine. “Yes.” “Good. Now listen to me.” I wrestle her hair into my fist, my hips slapping up against her taut butt cheeks. “I’ll let people watch once in a while if it makes your pretty little cunt wet, but I will never fucking share you. Ever. Is that understood?”
Hands down, this author writes the most smutty and the hottest intimate scenes. I’m always left with my jaw dropped and squirming on my seat. This one had them in abundance. The daddy kink she drops every now and then, somehow still takes me by surprise every time. I’m telling you keep a change of panties with you ‘cause you’re gonna need those. If I had to choose my favourite scene, it would be the one in the changing room or maybe the one in the limousine, it’s too hard to select one. The bet they had going on made for some serious sexual tension and when it reached the boiling point, it was intense and sinful and raw. I kept screaming for more and more.
I love him. It’s so easy to admit that now. Now that he’s shown me who he is deep down. A man who might be a ruthless, driven, determined, but he’s also good. A man who does the right thing. A man with a damaged, golden heart. That’s Jack Lincoln.
This story had everything you have come to expect from this author. The sizzling hot chemistry, insta-love/lust, emotional depth, the deep and raw romance, a little action and so many heartfelt moments. All this put together makes for an unforgettable read. What more could you need. I highly recommend her books. From the first hit, you’ll become addicted to her world. ♥️♥️
”We’re filthy. It’s like we’ve accepted it, embraced it, and now we’re owning it.”
Damn, it was hot. No, it was actually really HOT. The setting at the beginning felt so wrong, yet I couldn't look away from it and - I say it again - it was freaking hot.
Was it realistic? - No. But was it kinda believable? - Yes.
I loved the characters, their connection and their growth. The author really did a fine job in under 145 pages. I know her books can be a hit and a miss for lots of people, but this one was definitely a kinky hit for me.
this is probably the only Jessa Kane novella with a lady on the cover that i actually liked and enjoyed. the pacing was good and it made everything felt realistic.
damn kinda want someone to adore me like Jack does w our heroine 🥺 (see how i only remember his name and not the heroine? —a thirsty needy hoe) i read this a while ago so i don’t remember if there’s daddy kink but according to my rating, it doesn’t seem like it 👀
A working class heroine who is coerced to sell her virginity to the rich hero with a tragic backstory- and who coincidentally has been stalking her. Instead of being a sweet romance, this is taboo smut with various kinks like exhibitionism, voyeurism, contributions by OP in parasexual acts, DD/LG play, non consensual breeding and obsession.
We did go from bow-chika-meow to sugary goodness to cliche and back to dirt in a matter of 50 pages, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Color me pleasantly surprised, that is not at all how I pictured this going down. At least he’s not like the rest of the carrion.
Two million? I’m sure there’s a lot I’d do for that kind of money. Let alone give it away to a hot (even though his appearance is up in the air, I have to assume he’s hot.) millionaire? Billionaire? Tomato? Tomahto?
Oh Jack, you just keep surprising me at every turn. Until the gratuitous pretty woman scene. Not that rich men spoiling poor women ever gets old. And holy shit, the dressing room was combustibly hot! I hope that sales lady works on commission.
While this story didn’t lack for salacious ecstasy, I was pleased by how emotionally satisfying it was. The pacing was good and the plot interesting. And no doubt one of the best voyeuristic fantasies I’ve read. I put off reading Jessa Kane’s books for too long.
This was so bad, I have no words. The story was unrealistic, the relationship severely underdevelopped for such a long novella and the kink was gross. This was the worst kind of book porn ever. If there was less than 1 star to rate this, I would.
This is the longest (I believe) Jessa has written and it was okay for me. Had lots of steamy scenes..
I did have few problems and it was the Voyagerism. Now I don't care for watching its not a big deal for me. But one point to have a sales lady cover Maisy(h) mouth as he fucks her in the dressing room, Is meh for me. Like? He could have let Maisy do that on her own.
Now onto the rest of the story. Jack(H) is one of the top Alphas!! He's been taking care of Masiy behind the scenes and far away until she gets herself in trouble and she didnt even know since she thought it was a party. Poor Maisy she was forced to be in a auction, she had to lose her virginity to Jack infront of old creepy men because they held them at gun point. Yes poor girl she did get off on it its her hidden kink but she was still mad at Jack. For breaking a promise to her. Their relationship was slowish at first since she did try to pull away and keep the distance but Jack wouldn't. He made sure she knew he wasn't giving up and they did have fun cute moments to.
They do have some other drama they had to deal with.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
this is quite possibly the worst thing i have ever read. oh my gosh. this review will contain spoilers.
so let's start off with the illegal sex-for-hire parties. that's already a lot to unpack. i can handle dark romance, but this novella was just straight-up stupid. none of it made sense, nor did it have a consistent plot. it was like the author wanted to cram in as many maiden in distress scenes as she could.
now let's not forget that this billionaire THIRTY-ONE YEAR OLD was OBSESSING AND F*CKING STALKING a freshly turned EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD. like, excuse me, what the F*CK?! she just turned 18 and you are 13 years older than her. and it's not that i dislike age gaps, it's fact that she was a minor when he first started obsessing over maisey or whatever the hell this girl's name was.
girl literally had stockholm syndrome it seemed like. first, she goes to this sex-for-hire party with her friends but they're not her friends, but she's known them since they were all kids or whatever, so they have to be friends (????), and she gets roped into this very much so ILLEGAL and PERVERTED auction for sex. so what does our weird, fetishizing billionaire grown man do? he bids on maisy-whatever-the-hell-her-name-is and wins the auction. but wait! theres more!
they had to have sex in front like ten old ass balding men because that's just the rules right? whatever. and the entire time, everyone is so focused on maisie being a virgin like it's the fcking holy blood of a lamb for a ritual. it was disgusting, it made me gag reading this. i didn't even find this funny because it was so perverted and disgusting. and tiktok is praising the hell out of this one. last time i ever take a recommendation off of tiktok.
i drew the line at them having sex in every possible public place ever. first the back seat of his car while the driver drove in silence, LISTENING TO THEM, then the fcking clothing store. oh my god, THE CLOTHING STORE.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS AUTHOR INTO?
this was so disgusting. then you had every trope under the sun in, oh no the damsel is kidnapped and held at gunpoint! oh no the mom was going to leave her daughter behind and run away to a different country! oh no the billioniare grown ass man has mommy and daddy issues and all of his actions are excused because no one wanted him as a child! oh boo fcking who, i hated this shit.
oopsie pregnancy trope after he refused to pull out!
WHICH THE MFC WAS PERSISTENT WITH. \WHICH HE PROMISED TO DO. WHICH HE DID NOT FCKING DO. HELLO? CONSENT? WHERE THE FCK ARE YOU?
oopsie i fired your mom and want you to see that she's a shit person (she was, but i dont care because i still hated this book)! oopsie you were kidnapped and sent to be essentially r*ped by a bunch of perverted old men because they couldn't get over how well the little virgin masie did the first time.
and if this isnt the cherry on top, the use of "little girl" and "daddy's little girl" and "little angel" is just fucking toilet water worthy. flush that shit down the drain, for fck's sake.
she wasn't even the last bid, there were two others so why didnt the grown ass billionaire dude bid on another girl to have sex with so he could keep his little virgin pure? like this is so gross, why would you write something like this and expect it to be OKAY?
and no, this book isn't "too taboo" for me, it's fucking pedophilia that's romanticized and practiced in a literary sense for perverted-minded people who find that they enjoy this shit.
and another thing that GRINDED MY FCKING GEARS? the MFC got off with people watching or unknowingly watching. that epilogue? they dragged out that kiss on PURPOSE.
IN FRONT OF THEIR FCKING KID.
THEY WOULD HAVE KEPT GOING IF THE KID DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS AUTHOR ON. HOW CAN YOU READ PAST THE FIRST CHAPTER AND SAY "OH YEAH THIS IS MY JAM! EASILY A FIVE-STAR REVIEW!"
just go on an adult website and get your fix there instead of making this novella circle around tiktok and the internet for unknowing minors and people to read and think that this is love. that this is what a relationship is because for fck's sake, IT IS NOT. and i completely understand fantasies, but this should have NEVER been published. and i shamelessly judge anyone who enjoys this book or any other book from this author.
they met on day one, he had her moved in on day three, and by day six she was pregnant and engaged to this dude. and here's something to research more, especially as a female author, you will not see a positive on a pregnancy test after THREE FCKING DAYS.
stalker to lover to baby daddy to husband all in a matter of five days.
good fucking day.

I am so happy that we finally got a full length Jessa Kane book! I personally think that this book actually would have been better shorter and one of her others would have been better longer. It was really good, nonetheless, and quite unique as Kane’s books are pretty unique as novellas but even more so longer.
Maisy (18) was super adorable. She was a hard worker and saw the good in everyone, her inevitable downfall. She was innocent and cute, but very stubborn.
Jack (31) was self-deemed unlovable and was infatuated by his maid’s daughter, Maisy, from afar. He was a billionaire, the usual for a Jessa Kane, and orphaned as a baby.
Overall, super cute and I am excited for more full lengths from Jessa Kane!
Jack saw Maisy 6 months previously and had been quietly obsessed with her. He's secretly paying her nother who's his cleaner a lot of money to ensure Maisy is taken care off. One night he gets a call that his girl is about to be auctioned off and Jack immediately rides to the rescue. Maisy has been working as a cleaner while she dreams of being an audio book narrator, she ends up at the auction as she accompanies 2 friends but has no idea what's about to go down. She 's stunned that her mother's boss wins the auction and even more horrified at the terms. By the end of the night Jack breaks a promise to Maisy and it's only her eventual offer that will allow him the one thing he desperately wants.....her
********** I think this was longer than this author's usual which to be honest wasn't really a good thing. Lots of sex which felt like filler rather than the usual heat and chemistry this author is almost guaranteed to deliver. Voyeurism kink which took unexpected and really unwanted(by me at least) turns All in all this one didn't quite work for me
"You ever come to my office again in a dress this short, I will spend the afternoon spanking that sweet teenager ass right here in front of the whole goddamn city."
This novel has a plethora of things I like. Age gap, instalove, virginity auction, public sex. This might be my favorite JK novel to date!
SAFETY: Age: 18h, 31H Cheating: no! OM/OW drama: no! Sex scene with OM/OW: no! Virgin/celibate/manwhore: virgin heroine, no history on hero Tropes: instalove, mom's boss Kinks: dirty talk, rough sex, breeding, exhibitionism/voyeurism, daddy kink HEA?: HEA
I picked a random JK because my book had started to lag and of course I would choose the one with exhibitionism kink... I think it wouldn't have been as bad if the scene wasn't happening with dirty, trafficking old men... 😬😩🤧
This book has everything I was expecting from the blurb: bad guys, non-sense, a ditzy heroine, groveling, sex, a mega-drama near the end, and a happy ending! Good considering the 100 pages.
TW/CW: sex auctioning, exhibitionism and voyeurism, daddy kink, unsafe sex, non-consent regarding birth control, kidnapping, violence.
This is more a personal preference but I just couldn’t get over that one too personal voyeurestic scene in the clothing shop. Maybe I’ll get over it later but it was icky and I’d rather not be subjected to reading that. The rest was fine though, nothing really new or amazing, just the same old basic unoriginal Jessa Kane. The story also dragged a bit, it’s longer in length I believe. I’m mostly disappointed that I didn’t like this because this is the only Jessa Kane book available in print and I was hoping to like this to add to my collection. I am hoping that her books do continue to be in print though!
-Honestly, one of the better Jessa Kane novellas one could read. It's short, smutty, over the top, but really fun. Idk, the pairing in this book just worked for me! I enjoyed both MCs, the epilogue wasn't ridiculous; I'd totally recommend this book.
I missed you these last three weeks Jessa <3 also an obsessed rich man who buys the young girl to save her and she ends up saving him? it served what it needed to serve.
