This is a great story despite some rough spots -- the auction of Mia's virginity raises difficult feminist questions as well as the specter of prostitution. To her credit Aubrey doesn't let her characters avoid those questions (unlike most writers of the temporary/paid/fake girlfriend plot). So Mia gets to write a manifesto defending her position that auctioning her virginity is an empowering move to control her own sexuality and Adam gets to argue against her... that an exchange of sex for money is wrong. And both characters are allowed to be confused and inconsistent. There's what they say and what they want-- and that doesn't always line up and they know it. That's refreshing. 
 Despite all that it's hard to exactly follow why Adam bids in (and wins) Mia's auction then. At some points he says it's to protect her from going through with the auction but then why does he go through with it himself? Aubrey manages to disentangle these complicated plot strands by the end, freeing both Mia and Adam from the constraints of their contract and the money involved. But it's a near thing and not always easy to follow along. That said, the gaming context was utterly new and charming for me and Aubrey is one skillful writer. The characters, dialogue, plot all move right along without becoming generic or sounding false. 
 She's definitely worth reading-- these sort of problems occur when novels are complicated and ambitious, which is always a good thing!
