GRR Reviews Buying His Virgin: A Billionaire Auction R by Lila Younger

Buying His Virgin is a fairy tale about a girl who sold herself to pay her parents' debts (to finance her education) and ended up in the hand of her crush, a billionaire, who treated her like a girlfriend, not a purchase.

Olivia wanted to be a journalist and had a crush on media mogul Silas Rutherford. She insisted on a small but expensive college for their journalism program against her parent's wishes. Then she found out her father had gotten into a car accident, then he had lost his job as an insurance salesman and had been taking two jobs (and her mom too) to make ends meet, and it's still not enough. They had been taking loans from a loan shark, and they owe... 500K. And the only way out, the loan shark suggested... was for her to auction herself off for a week with some... very... "ahem" exclusive folks. While she went to New York to finalize the deal (she put her parents into that situation, she's going to get them out of it) she actually met Silas Rutherford in a small cafe, seems to be a really nice guy, and the feeling's mutual. But when she went tongue-tied, she ran. Silas Rutherford was amazed to see Olivia, the girl he met in the cafe for that fleeting moment, on the auction, and she's a... virgin! So... he bid a million bucks for her... warned off all other bidders. Then he treated her like a girlfriend, wined and dined her, and they fell in love. And of course, he got her v-card, willingly. Yea.

What struggle? There is no struggle. Well, maybe a little about Olivia accepting Silas' intentions are pure and won't leave her, but really, it's a fairy tale, little more.
