Synopsis:
Greed.
Ambition. Violence. Those are the "values" Olivia Rashidi learned
from her Russian mob family-and the values she must leave behind for the sake
of her daughter. When she meets Cillian O'Malley, she recognizes the red flag
of his family name . . . yet she still can't stop herself from seeing the
smoldering, tortured man. To save her family, Olivia sets out to discover
Cillian's own secrets, but the real revelation is how fast-and how hard-she's
falling for him.
Plagued
by a violent past, Cillian is more vulnerable than anyone realizes. Anyone
except Olivia, whose beauty, compassion, and pride have him at
"hello," even if she's more inclined to say good-bye to an O'Malley.
While his proposal of sex with no strings seems simple, what
he feels for her isn't, especially after he learns that she belongs to a rival
crime family. Cillian knows that there is no escape from the life, but Olivia
may be worth trying and dying for . . .
Rating/Review: ☕☕☕ 1/2 (3.5 cups) of steaming sexual chemistry, epic family saga and a twist in the family rivalry trope. Indecent Proposal is a welcome addition to the O'Malley Series!
The third book in Katee Robert's crime family series The O'Malleys, Indecent Proposal is told from the viewpoint of the fourth O'Malley child, Cillian. Cillian still has not moved on from his younger brother's death and it seems nothing can bring him back to live his life beyond the bottle, until he meets Olivia. Olivia is another soul whose on life is not as nice as it seems. From a rival crime family herself, she's trying to live a life as far away as possible from what she grew up in but knowing its nearly unlikely she would ever shake it at all. So getting involve with one Cillian O'Malley is in itself not the way to go. But the attraction is too strong and the heat between them too tempting not to act on it. But as the fire between develops into a blaze, can they reconcile with their own issues, as well as their families to get their own happy ending?
Indecent Proposal is a great addition to the series but it can be read as a standalone. It does display less heat than the previous books but it is a cohesive bridge for the whole family saga plot. Excellent reading for those who love this type of storyline and for fans of the series. Looking forward to the next!
Excerpt:
“Hey, stop!”
She ran after him, thankful she’d put on her badass studded
boots instead of the pair of heels she’d been jonesing after. An eight-hour
shift on her feet would have her hating herself if she’d gone with the pretty
shoes—and they would have made it impossible to catch up with the O’Malley.
She grabbed his arm and froze at the feel of his muscles
flexing in her grip. Holy wow.
He finally turned to face her and it struck her that,
without the bar between them, he was so much larger than she was. Not large
like her ex, Sergei—this man was built lean instead of for brute strength—but
he still dwarfed her. And he smelled good, like some kind of spicy men’s
cologne that instantly had her thinking thoughts she had no business
entertaining.
Like what it would be like to bury her nose in his neck and
inhale deeply. The insane desire to do so almost overwhelmed her.
Everything about him was
overwhelming, from his beautiful face, to his impeccably styled dark hair, to
the tattoos peeking out of his clothes at neck and wrists. The ink creeping up
the side of his neck was like a wild thing trying to escape from his insanely
expensive suit, a strange combination of brutal strength and poised polish that
she should have known better than to be attracted to.
Except, apparently, her body hadn’t gotten the memo.
She realized she was still clutching his arm and made
herself let go so she could offer back the cash. Right, because that’s why
you chased him down a dark street. “I don’t want your money.”
“It’s called a tip, sweetheart. It’s just good manners.”
“I don’t want it.” Even as she said it, she wondered why she
was being so damn stubborn about this. He hadn’t asked anything of her. All
he’d done was throw too much money at a bartender, which was something plenty
of drunks did from time to time. Except he wasn’t drunk. She should be elated
at having the extra cash—God knew she needed it. Instead, there was a growing
recklessness in her chest, one she’d thought she’d outgrown a long time ago.
“Just take it, okay?”
“No.” His gaze narrowed on her face, giving her the sudden
thought that he saw too much. Before she could decide what to do with that, he
moved closer, giving her another whiff of that cologne that made her whole body
break out in goose bumps. Or maybe it was the man himself, the streetlights
creating a skeleton’s mask of his face, turning his eyes into dark pits of
shadows. “Why do you care so much?”
“Oh my God, just take it back.” She should drop the cash and
head for home. Or, hell, at least take a few steps away so that she wasn’t in
danger of brushing against him if she took a deep breath.
But she couldn’t force her hand to unclench or her feet to
create any distance between them. She cleared her throat, trying to get her
thoughts back on track. “I didn’t ask for your charity.”
“Yeah, I got it. You win. I’m an asshole.”
“I didn’t say that.”
“Not in so many words, no.” His gaze raked her body much the
same way it had back at the bar, making every alarm in her head go off.
Spending any more time in this man’s presence was dangerous, though she
couldn’t say for sure what she was most afraid of. She lifted her chin in
challenge, demanding…She wasn’t sure what she was demanding. Her gaze dropped
to his mouth, and she licked her lips. What am I doing? Walk away. Walk away
right now.
No. Not yet.
He murmured, “If the shoe fits…”
And then he gripped her jaw and kissed her.
