About this listen
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Audrey Carlan comes a new story in her Marriage Auction series…
I run the most elite auction in the world.
Candidates and bidders come from all over the globe hoping to change their lives.
And I deliver.
I’m in the business of bringing couples together in a mutually beneficial and legally binding marriage. The terms are three years for no less than a million dollars a year, not including my commission. Once a pair signs on the dotted line, the contract ensures there is no going back.
Most couples find over time they are a love match, but not all.
Before I took over The Marriage Auction, there wasn’t an extensive vetting process. Some candidates were subjected to horrors that haunt my every waking moment.
I vowed to change that. To stand up for those who deserve more and to release them from the wrongs inflicted upon them by circumstance and chance.
What my bidders and candidates don’t know is that I understand exactly what they are experiencing.
I wasn’t always known as Madam Alana.
Once upon a time, I too was purchased in The Marriage Auction… And this is my story.

Story
There's nothing Jasper Maxwell likes better than a good chase. He is patient and cunning, and he is known as one of the coldest hunters in the immortal realm. As a vampire with a hint of demon blood in him, he stands out even amongst the finest trackers in the shifter world. So the fact that his mate has managed to escape him for the past five decades is something that keeps him intrigued and more obsessed with every passing year. The game is beyond delicious until a century-old enemy resurfaces, putting his sweet little mate in danger. At that point, he has no choice but to secure her.

Jesse Ward has stumbled through life drinking and indulging himself within the rooms of his high-class sex club, The Manor, numbing himself to the pain, grief, and guilt of his wrongs. Pleasure and alcohol are his medicine. Hedonism is all he knows. It’s how he copes. How he survives. Until Ava O’Shea strolls into his office and knocks him back with her breathtaking beauty, ambition, and drive. It only takes one look into her eyes, one touch of her skin, and one word murmured, before his heart is kick-started, offering him something he never thought possible.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

Jaxon Daniels was supposed to be my forever. I've loved him since I was thirteen years old, and like a foolish little girl, I believed that our love would carry us through everything. Every challenge. Every obstacle. Every heartbreak. But that was before I knew anything about pain and the challenge of overcoming crushing disappointment. Before I knew that loving someone doesn't always mean you get to have them, sometimes it means you have to let them go. Now, thanks to my sister marrying his brother at a romantic resort in Mexico, he's back in my orbit.

The devil’s in the details, and I shouldn’t be surprised to find hell in Las Vegas. Luke doesn’t care that I can’t remember a thing about the deal we made on the night of my bachelorette party. All he cares is that I promised my love, my life, and my obedience to him for all eternity. Obedience? Not my style. I’m not looking to be owned by any man. To make matters worse, I was supposed to be marrying another. But Adam can’t stand against Luke’s strength.

Great prequel
I do listen to All books of The Marriage Auction first and it was great to get the back story on Madam Alana. I feel for her and her best friend.

Missing piece
Loved this book, it makes so much sense now! it’s the puzzle piece that’s been missing.
HOWEVER, if you are triggered, or even sensitive to violence and abuse I don’t recommend. It’s raw, real and detailed at some points.

The narrator's talent complimented the powerful story
Well written and well read. The narrator (voice actor) was so believable in all the voices and accents. Her breath control for the reading was what made it so amazing when switching back and forth between voices.

Madame Alana
This book brought Madame Alana & her best friend Celine’s story to light. It can be read at anytime but it gives the history to the Marriage Auction and how was started. Good book! I enjoyed it.

Loved this short Novella
Wow! What an amazing job Carlan does with this short novella. We get the insight to how Alana came to be Madam Alana. This book is the prequel to The Marriage Auction Series, and takes place 30 years prior. This story will break you and put you back together again in one read. Carlan tells a heart breaking tale, but then gives us light, hope, and love. So many struggles that Alana faced growing up with her best friend Celine. She was also part of the auction in the beginning. We follow her on this roller coaster of a story as she navigates an arraigned marriage, finding herself, showing her grit, toughness, bravery and finding love and support from a man that is so swoon-worthy. Christophe is just such a gentleman. But, don’t be fooled this story will have you turning the pages, laughing, crying, and wanting more. Such a great read.

Madam Alana the beginning
Very well written prequel, which explained so much. A lot of sadness in her young life, but strength as well to overcome and make a change. We have to learn not to settle for just anything or any life. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. Excellent Audible narration.

Madam Alana's Origin Story
Was this novella really necessary to the plot? I'm not sure. I'm not NOT interested in Madam Alana, but I also feel like I already knew most of this by listening to the second season of the Marriage Auction. Maybe that's my own fault for not reading it in order, but I felt like this one was just kind of mid. Not great. Not terrible. Probably wouldn't have missed it if I didn't know it existed.
