Bought and Paid For

By AKM Miles

Wait until Dr. Parker Easton finds out it's his former lover, Deacon, who has "bought" him for a date at the bachelor auction in which he was forced to take part.

Dr. Parker Easton has used his work as an oncologist to try and forget the pain of losing his lover, Deacon Wagoner. Parker had thought they'd be together forever, and he would never understand how Deacon could have cheated on him. It had been two years and Parker was still too hurt to even think of seeing anyone else.

Now he was forced to participate in a fundraiser for the new hospital wing, a ridiculous bachelor auction. He'd planned on donating only, but now found he had to strut out there and try to raise money for the cause.

Stunned, barely covered the way he felt when he found out it was Deacon who had arranged to pay an exorbitant amount for the date. What the hell?

Reviews for Bought and Paid For

This is a review of the second read of Bought and Paid For.

Whoops! I gave this book 5 stars after the first read in 2011 and only 3 stars after the second in 2014. I'm not sure what grabbed me about it back then, but there really wasn't anything all that special here. A lot of the M/M romance I read in early 2011 rated really high for me because it was all new and I COULD. NOT. GET. ENOUGH.

But this was still a nice, short story about 2 nice men given a second chance at love, so I can recommend it.

This short story - as good as it was - could have benefited from being either a lot longer or a bit shorter. There were two porny flashbacks which were unnecessary and which kind of took away from the emotion and intimacy of the actual reunion because we'd seen it already. Take these out and the story would have benefited.

On the other hand, if this was a novella, we could have kept the flashbacks but had a bit more build up to the reunion which would have given a 'hard fought for' feeling to the scenes were they'd come together again.

Either way, I loved the premise of this story and the writing was great. I liked both the MCs and was rooting for them to get back together.
