Published by Self-Published on March 24, 2023 This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I cannot wait until Eden's book.I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review. It was a fun, taboo romance and a great addition to the Salacious series. Other than I that, I enjoyed Highest Bidder. I would have wanted their relationship (prior to the whole misunderstanding towards the end of the book) to last longer. At points in the book, it felt like she latched onto him without really knowing herself first.

Ronan was right, she doesn't know what she needs versus what she wants.

It felt rushed to me, especially for a woman like Daisy who is still grieving from her mother's death. What stopped me from absolutely loving this book was how fast Ronan and Daisy's relationship progressed. If you're new to this type of kink or if you're not sure if you like it, Highest Bidder would be a good place to start. I also appreciated that the kink in this one, which is daddy/pleasure kink, wasn't in your face. I loved watching both Ronan and Daisy battle through their rough pasts to fight for a future together. Was it one of my favorites in the series? Sadly no. Oh yeah, did I mention that her mom is the woman Ronan loved? And that's why, in my opinion, Highest Bidder is one of Cate's more taboo books. Now she's working at the club hoping to learn more about why Ronan's name would be linked to money her mom left her. Her heart is also bruised and battered after watching her mom slowly lose her battle with cancer. That is where our heroine, Daisy, comes in. The only woman who truly loved him had to leave at the end of the summer. After that he has a difficult time with women who are only with him for his money. His wife and child were killed years prior. He has a rough time when it comes to romance.

Ronan, who we've met in previous books, is a billionaire Dom whose heart is locked away. Highest Bidder is Ronan and Daisy's book. We get a brief catch-up with our favorite club members before diving straight into what is probably one of Cate's more taboo books. If you've been following the Salacious Players Club series, Highest Bidder takes place 2 years after the previous book.
