Auctioned Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 2) by Via Mari – Review by M Policicchio

Auctioned Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another crazy hot duet from this author. I am a sucker for a dark mafia romance. This gives me two for one. There are twists, so much drama, some steamy steam, and lots of brave men and women fighting the blight of human trafficking.

This story picks up where we left the last duet. The agency’s men are on a rescue mission to find and return Jenny’s niece, Bryanna. Damian feels an unusual pull to protect this green eyed beauty. He can’t fight it. Damian’s protector drives kick into high gear whenever he is near her. Bryanna is in serious danger but fights Damian at every turn, even running back to the people that took her.

Damian figures out part of the truth that keeps Bryanna running back. When he is able to tell her that he is protecting those most important to her, Bryanna stops running long enough to help Damian get the bad guys that took her from her family.

Bryanna was able to find one person during her ordeal that protected her and helped her, Layla. When Layla exchanges information to help Bryanna, she puts herself in peril. Dereck, Damian’s teammate, steps up to protect Layla from the trouble they caused her by using her to help Bryanna. Dereck learns fast that there is more to Layla than meets the eye.

Dereck and Layla can each feel the magnetic pull towards each other. Dereck thinks it is because he can feel Layla’s latent submissive side whenever they are together but it just makes Layla fight and pull against Dereck even more. Dereck continues to earn Layla’s trust by showing up whenever she puts herself into more and more dangerous situations trying to solve a mystery.

The teams come together to help figure out who is behind the trafficking ring and prevent new “shipments” from leaving. It is never as easy as they plan and face new difficulties even as they bring several key players in the rings down. Fantastic stories!!! I hope that there are truly people out there fighting the bad guys that ‘gather’ for traffickers and the sickos that are the reasons for them.
