Scandal.
Wealth. Power. Seduction. Welcome to the world of the O'Malleys.
Ex-cop Charlotte Finch used to think there was a
clear line between right and wrong. Then her fellow officers betrayed her, and
the world is no longer so black and white. Especially when it's Aiden O'Malley,
one of the most dangerous men in Boston, who offers her a chance for justice.
The only catch: she'll have to pretend to be his fiancée for his plan to work.
Aiden can't afford to let anyone see the man behind
the mask. To run the O'Malley empire, he has to be cool and controlled at all
times. But the moment he meets Charlie, they're playing with fire. Her
slightest touch is enough to send him over the edge. At first their
"engagement" was a way to eliminate his enemies. Now he'll do
whatever it takes to keep her safe-- even if he has to destroy his own family
to do it.

Review
This book contains adult themes.
This is the fifth book in the O’Malley’s Series by Katee Robert. I loved the fourth book in this series so I went into this book very positive and I was not disappointed. I think I enjoyed this book even more then the first one. I also just requested the first two books from the series from my library! Let’s hope I can get them soon. Also, I love the cover so I needed to read this one!
The O’Malley’s are part of the Irish mob in Boston, they are one of the largest families. Aiden has since taken over the O’Malley family after his father took an early retirement. Aiden is working very hard to keep his family safe even if it means stepping on a few toes. Aiden drags in Charlie since she has a vendetta against the same man he is going after. Aiden now needs to find out how much he cares about vendettas versus his family.
The author does a great job creating the two main characters for this book. The book is basically told through the POV of the two main characters, but we do get a few other characters popping up who take over chapters, which is a nice break in the reading.
I couldn’t help, but just fall in love with Aiden when I was reading. I love how he could open up and really reflect upon what was going on in his life. Aiden grew over the course of the entire book and became a more respectful guy. I enjoyed getting to hear the innerworkings of Aiden’s brain as he was thinking through what was going on.
Charlie was such a great main character to be opposite Aiden. Charlie comes with her own baggage and own issues, but she can see things from a different perspective, which is exactly what the family needs. Charlie’s fresh set of eyes and her previous experience make her rough around the edges and not easily intimidated. Charlie can stand her ground during the book and work on deciding what she wants out of her future. I love that the author created a mixed background for Charlie because when we got to hear her internal thoughts it gave me a lot to think about while reading.
I loved all the drama that was created during this book. We get a few major events happening during the book, which really push the action along, but you can also feel something big coming while you are reading. The author does an outstanding job building up the drama and leaving you little clues that something is going to happen. I love the ability for the book to keep going up to the climax without it having to be dragged out.
Also, the climax is exactly what I wanted it was the perfect revelation of everything the book was working up too.
I would suggest this as a weekend read. I got sucked into the O’Malley world and wanted to know what was going to happen with Aiden and Charlie. I ended up not being able to put the book down! This book can be read as a standalone book, but I recommend reading other books in the series.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley to provide an honest review. This does not affect my review of this book.
Undercover Attraction Excerpt
Copyright © 2017 Katee Robert
His brows slanted down, and then his expression
cleared. “You’re worried about me? Bright eyes, you don’t have to be.”
Either he was lying to make her feel
better or he’d missed the cold calculation in Alethea’s eyes when she’d watched
them walk out. If he didn’t dance to the tune she set, she would have no
problem killing him. She wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep at night over it.
Charlie gripped his hand tighter. “Promise
me.”
“You know I can’t. I’ll do whatever it
takes to see this through, and if that means getting into another situation like
the one we just left, I won’t hesitate.”
She wanted to shake the stubbornness
right out of him. “Even if it means you don’t walk out alive?”
He started to give her a pat answer. She
saw the second he registered that she was actually scared for him—not herself. The mask slipped, and
something like wonder dawned. Aiden pulled her into his lap and framed her face
with his hands. “The end justifies the means. You know that.”
She’d thought the same thing earlier.
Now she wasn’t so sure.
But he wasn’t going to listen to her
tonight. Either he hadn’t seen the danger or he was determined to downplay it. If
she kept pressing, it might mean a fight, and that was the last thing Charlie
wanted. She’d never been more aware of time flowing, a river that she couldn’t
fight. Aiden wasn’t hers. She couldn’t protect him. She didn’t even have a real
right to demand he take more precautions. She was just a woman whose aims had
lined up with his.
“Charlie—”
She kissed him. There wasn’t anything
left to say that they couldn’t communicate with their bodies. She shifted to
straddle him, the move making her dress ride up to indecent heights. All Aiden’s
careful control was gone in an instant, replaced by a frenzy that matched her
own. He slid his hands up her thighs to her hips, pushing the dress even
higher, and grabbed her ass, grinding her against him.
All her fear and anger turned to desire,
creating an inferno bound to incinerate them both. She could care less. Charlie
reached between them and undid his slacks to pull out his cock. She palmed him.
“Condom?”
He opened his mouth and then considered.
“Fuck, I don’t have any.”
Damn.
Disappointment soured in her stomach, but she shoved it away. “Then I guess
we’ll have to get creative. I need you inside me. I don’t care how.” She pushed
away his hands and slid down the seat to kneel between his thighs.
Or she tried to.
He caught her halfway through the move
and shook his head. “No, bright eyes.”
“What?” Surely he wasn’t rejecting a
blow job? That had to break some kind of international law. It just wasn’t
done. “You’re starting to give me a complex.”
Aiden lifted her back to his lap, this
time facing away from him. The passing lights showed her reflection in the glass
separating them from the front seat. Her blue eyes were wild, her hair tangled
from his fingers, her dress in danger of slipping off her breasts. Behind her,
Aiden was barely a shadow. He moved her hair to one side and kissed her neck.
“You come first, bright eyes. Second, too, if I have any say in it.”
She licked her lips. “One of these days,
I’m going to tie you down and give you all the blow jobs I’ve been craving.”
“One of these days…” He bracketed her
throat with one hand, keeping her head tilted to the side, and coasted the
other hand up her inner thigh, spreading her legs further. “One of these days,
I’ll let you.”
She nodded. “Good answer.” The move
increased the pressure of his hand against her neck, and she squirmed, turned
on far more than she should be.
His wandering hand reached the junction
between her thighs, and he parted her, idly stroking. “I think I like that you’re
worried about me.” His finger circled her clit and away. “I like it a lot.”
“Mmm.” What was she supposed to say to
that? She’d already had to face the fact that she didn’t have the right words
because she didn’t have the right.
His finger pushed into her slowly. “I
won’t be without a condom again, bright eyes. Feeling you so hot and wet around
my finger makes me crave the same around my cock.” He pumped as idly as he’d
touched her to begin with. “A woman like you could make a man forget himself.”
It was hard to think, with his hard body
behind her, his erection pressing against her ass, and his hand moving between
her legs. She tried despite that. “Only for a while.”
“No, bright eyes. Not just for a while.”
He dragged his mouth down the line of her shoulder. “When I’m inside you, all I
can think of is you. When I’m near you, all I can think of is getting inside
you again. If you gave me half a chance, I’d be buried to the hilt right now,
condom be damned. That’s crazy.”
She rocked against his hand, letting her
head fall back to rest on his shoulder. He let go of her throat. The only
warning she got was his thumb brushing her sternum and then he pushed down her
dress, baring her breasts completely. Aiden cursed. “Next time you forget such
a vital part of your wardrobe, the moment I find out, I’m going to fuck you. I
might give you the option of dragging you to the nearest bathroom…if you’re
lucky.”
