Auction Action by Andrew Grey
Art isn’t the only thing a man can find at an auction…
Frederick Holloway is a successful antiques dealer with a clientele that he likes to keep happy. When one of his most important clients asks him to attend a charity auction to buy a painting for her, Frederick agrees. What he didn’t expect was the Greek god with the face of the Marlboro man who is his main competitor for the artwork.
Duncan never expected to meet such a powerful and commanding man in such a small package. He likes it, really likes it! Frederick can give him something he desperately needs. But are they playing around? Is something deeper developing? Or is Duncan still trying to get an angle on the work of art that he lost at the auction... or embracing a worthy opponent?

Though I've read many books of Andrew Grey's, this is the second one I've read through NetGalley, and like the first, it's different than a typical Andrew Grey book. This was a 98 page novella, so a lot happens in a short time, especially when you're finding a HEA for two strangers. And for those that are a fan of BDSM, and I'm not, you'll want to read this novella.
When Frederick attends a charity auction for a client, he can't help but notice the man bidding against him. After a successful transaction, Frederick dons his leather and heads to the club. While at the club, his attention is drawn to Duncan, the man from the auction. Frederick takes Duncan home and teaches him that size can be deceiving. Duncan has never experienced before what he did with Frederick and wants more. Frederick agrees but both men get more from their playtime than expected.
As with all books by this author, it's steamy but I'm not a fan of BDSM, so for me, I moved quickly through the sex scenes between Frederick and Duncan. Something this novella did was reverse the typical dom/alpha type person. Frederick is small and Duncan is not, but Frederick was the man in control and I liked that the author didn't let this fall into the typical big man is the alpha dynamic. This was a very quick read and I thought this ended with a solid HEA. I think for anyone interested in dom/sub, one MC being called "Sir", and controlling in the bedroom, you'll want to pick this novella up.
