Synopsis:
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.
My Rating: 5/5
