Worship from Afar
Brooks Sutherland has been interested in Darcy Winters since he first laid eyes on him at the Courtesan Hotel, where Brooks worked as a bodyguard. Darcy never knew he existed. When Brooks had a seizure that resulted in loss of his eyesight from a head trauma, he could no longer do his job. Years later, Brooks comes back to bid on Darcy at the annual summer auction. He knows Darcy all too well and wants him to relax before Darcy kills himself from stress. Kidnapping him away for a vacation is perfectly reasonable—to Brooks.

Workaholic on Vacation
As far as Darcy is concerned, the Courtesan Hotel will be a disaster without him, so he doesn’t expect his mother to put him up for auction as a last-minute surprise. The man who wins time with him is charming, but Darcy has no plans to be swept away from his work. A night will more than do. When Brooks hustles him off on a vacation, he’s not sure how to relax, but Brooks is a good distraction.

Stress Less or Else
Darcy needs someone to teach him how to let go, and Brooks thinks he’s that man. But making a relationship work is a lot harder than he expects because Darcy runs back to the Courtesan every chance he gets. Brooks wants to take care of Darcy, but unless Brooks can learn what that really means, he’ll push Darcy away instead. If that happens, neither man will get what he needs.

My review: 

When I saw that the authors are releasing two books at the same time, I've made a priority that I read Sold For The Night first and The Madam's Baby Boy next. Luckily, I got the ARCs in that order too.

I really enjoyed reading this book, both characters were super adorable and easy to love. Loved the starting scene, the whole auction/bidding was good and I couldn't wait to read more about Brooks. 

I liked Darcy's character too, he was a virgin and a workaholic. He needed Brooks in his life. Oh and Brooks, he was a sweetie. His blindness was well written and I liked his dog too (who wasn't there for his blindness, instead of his seizures). 

It was low angst and I wasn't prepared to that 'drama' at the end, I was too comfortable reaindg this book and forgot about Brooks' seizures. 

Loved the romance, loved Brooks' love for Darcy and I liked reading this book. (in my opinion it was a bit over written, but I feel that after every Ki&Meg book, they are just too long with no added storyline, just extra pages and meaningless scenes)

I liked reading Sold For The Night too, but this story was better and more romantic. That book's strength is the kink, this book's is the romance.
