About this listen

Welcome to the Black Rose Auction where every sin can be yours for a price.

Birdie wants nothing more than to escape the clutches of her cruel and wicked stepmother, and to be with the only person she’s ever truly loved—her stepsister, Violet.

When her stepmother threatens to auction off Birdie’s hand in marriage to the highest bidder, Birdie sees it as her only way out.

Her stepsister has a plan…

Enlist the help her rich and powerful ex, Alaric Stone, to bid on their behalf.

But when things go awry at the auction, and Birdie is forced give away far more than she expected, Alaric decides he’s playing for keeps.

He wants both of them.

Can the three of them escape the clutches of Birdie’s selfish stepmother together?

And will Birdie be forced to choose between the two who have her heart…or will it be shattered forever?

Shattered Innocence is a Cinderella remix meant for mature readers who like fairytales…just dirtier.

I like Sara Cate, but this was a total flop for me

To start, I did not enjoy the male narrator at all. He was doing this weird breathy thing that was maybe supposed to sound sultry, but felt more like a limp handshake.

I kind of hated this. The Violet character was terribly written. Birdy, who has obvious mommy/daddy issues and zero life skills has fallen in love with the only person who doesn’t beat her…although Violet does like to punish her. Violet has no plan to save Birdy and honestly deserved to have Birdy sold off to a stranger, never to be seen again due to her last minute ditch efforts to convince a known criminal to buy and wed her step sister/lover. There is no real chemistry between the step sisters. Also the fact that Birdy goes from being innocent and naive to the world to being a sub to two Doms in the blink of an eye felt wildly unrealistic.
