The Pawn (Endgame Book 1) Kindle Edition
The price of survival...
Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl's college to take care of the only family I have left.
There's one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value.
My virginity.
A forbidden auction...
Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he's the only kindness in a brutal underworld.
Except he's playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.

Under considerable duress Avery decides her only option of acquiring money is by auctioning off her virginity, to save her family’s home and continue to provide care for her father.
This begins Avery and Gabriel’s twisted relationship beginning with their initial meeting at the Den.
At the auction, Avery is surprised as the bidding abruptly comes to an end when Gabriel comes to the front of room and stands facing Avery and bids $1,000,000.00! Of course, this is the winning bid and Gabriel quickly removes Avery from the stage.
Avery is now his for the next 30 days to do with as he pleases. There is plenty of heat, drama & sexual tension between Avery and Gabriel.
“The Pawn” is the 1st book of a trilogy & ends with many unresolved issues. The story continues in “The Knight”.
While the storyline is compelling, I found the characters lacking depth and wished for more extensive world-building to fill in some gaps. The narrative could benefit from additional exploration of the characters' backgrounds and more context for the world they inhabit.
The book ends on a cliffhanger, which felt somewhat abrupt, leaving me eager for more resolution. Overall, "The Pawn" offers a captivating plot but could enhance its impact with more nuanced character development and world-building.
I will be reading the next instalment to see what happens next.
With no other choice available to her, Avery goes to the Den; a very exclusive gentleman’s club in an attempt to secure a loan from a notorious loan shark. While there another option is presented to her that has the potential of earning her a much more significant amount of money by auctioning off her virginity! Under considerable duress, Avery decides this is her best option to secure enough money to save her family’s home and continue to provide care for her father.
This begins Avery and Gabriel’s twisted relationship beginning with their initial meeting at the Den. Then, Gabriel oversees Avery’s photoshoot for the auction, not knowing at the time that he will be prevent the revealing & provocative photos from being published on the internet. Finally, at the auction, Avery is surprised as the bidding reaches over $200,000.00 and comes down to an unknown man who is already accompanied by a stunning young lady and the man she knows as “Uncle” Landon, supposedly her father’s best friend.
The bidding abruptly comes to an end when Gabriel comes to the front of room and stands facing Avery and bids $1,000,000.00! Of course, this is the winning bid and Gabriel quickly removes Avery from the stage, covers her with his jacket (she had stripped to her panties) and rushes her from the room. Avery is now his for the next 30 days to do with as he pleases. There is plenty of drama & sexual tension between Avery and Gabriel and concurrent plot lines emerging in the background. “The Pawn” is the 1st book of a trilogy & ends with many unresolved issues. The story continues in “The Knight”.

I have devoured this book so quickly,
Stayed up all night to finish the Pawn,
So glad I brought the trilogy.
Have now finished the box set and I’ve just brought ‘the King’ and the Queen’.
A must read for a holiday romance with a bit of spice.
A*****



There's a lot I want to say but it's better if you go blind on this.

Avery ist eine gute Mischung aus einer jungen, erwachsenen Frau mit großen Verantwortung und Unschuld/Naivität, die aber nervig wird. Sie wird plötzlich in eine Welt rein geworfen, mit dem sie vorher nichts zu tun hatte. Gabriel ist sexy und mysteriös und auch wenn er es nicht zu geben will, doch von Anfang an in Avery verliebt.
Obwohl dieses Buch ganz klar nach Erotik schreit, steht es trotzdem nicht extrem im Vordergrund. Die Geschichte verfällt nicht in den Hintergrund, wie es manchmal in anderen Büchern passiert. Es ist eine gut gelungene Mischung.
Wer gerne in diesem Genre unterwegs ist, wird durch dieses Buch nicht enttäuscht werden.
Einziger Haken, wenn man es so nennen will, ist dass es noch 2 weitere Bücher gibt, die dann Geld kosten. Aber ohne die Fortsetzungen ist diese Geschichte einfach nicht abgeschlossen.
