๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: Iโ€™ve heard of how a few authors have been releasing on Kindle Vella, but Iโ€™ve never picked one up yetโ€ฆ and this might just convince me.

The Marriage Auction is a compendium of those โ€œepisodicโ€ releases. This is book one of four, which is a continuous story. And man, am I hooked in. I love every character individually, and then as couples theyโ€™re even better. The swoon factor is at an absolute 10, even though thereโ€™s so much story to go. 

But what truly knocked this out of the park was the ensemble narration. When I say Iโ€™m obsessedโ€ฆ I canโ€™t even explain the chokehold this book had on me. I immediately downloaded book 2. I canโ€™t wait for more!
