Undercover Attraction
The O'Malley's #5
By Katee Robert
Releasing November 28th, 2017
Forever
In Undercover Attraction (The O'Malley's #5) by Katee Robert, Aiden O'Malley needs the help of ex-cop Charlotte Finch, even if it means using any means necessary to get it by giving her what she wants most -- revenge against the man she believes was responsible for her downfall when she was betrayed by her fellow officers. However, Aiden never expected to find himself falling for a woman that didn't fit into his world. But the longer their fake engagement goes on, the more Aiden finds himself doing everything possible to stop Charlotte walking away when their arrangement ends. Yet, with danger closing in from his enemies, will Aiden to able to keep Charlotte safe; or will they lose their shot at happy ever after?
I have really enjoyed every single one of the books of this series so far, and have so been looking forward to Aiden's book. So, I've got to say that it was everything I'd hoped for and more because of the way Charlotte -- or 'Charlie' as she likes to be called -- challenges the hero with her sassy attitude and determination to see Aiden make things right with his siblings instead of ther being so much tension between them after everything they've been through. The way this story started had me empathizing with the heroine, as she's been through so much and it's understandable that she fell to pieces with everything that's happened to her. Yet, it's good that she's starting to get her life back on track again. Will getting revenge makes things even better for her? However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine came face-to-face for the first time in this story that made this story an absolute page turner, as there's some pretty intense chemistry between the hero and heroine and I wanted to discover whether the heroine would get her revenge. Because it's revenge that is much deserved after what her fellow officers did to her to make her out to be a dirty cop.
As for the dialogue, it was very engaging and had me hooked due to the main characters back stories that puts them on opposite sides of the law with Aiden being a huge part of a mob family and Charlotte being an ex-cop. Will she be able to handle Aiden's controlling ways and need to protect her? Will the O'Malley family accept Charlotte into the family? However, it wasn't just the main characters back stories that had me intrigued, but also everything these two go through on their journey to happy ever after including whether Aiden would ever be able to let Charlotte in completely; whether Charlotte would be able to accept the decisions Aiden makes, even if she doesn't agree with them; and of course, what happens between Aiden and the other powerful mob families that put Charlotte's life in danger. Will Aiden be capable of protecting her?
Both the main characters were incredible, and I loved every moment they were together, even though I wished for more danger and less romance at times. However, in saying that, Aiden is a force to be reckoned with. He's arrogant; does what is right for family, even though his siblings don't agree with his methods; determined to protect the heroine once he realizes how much danger she could be in; and I liked that he could accept the heroine's advice when it came to his siblings and making things right between them. I also liked that he stood up to his father and that he would do whatever it took to protect his family. While the heroine, she's feisty and I liked that she spoke her mind when it came to facing the O'Malley family. Will they be able to run her off by scaring her enough? Will Charlotte be able to prove that she's got what it takes to be by Aiden's side? I also liked how determined the heroine was to help Aiden when it came to befriending his youngest sister and getting him out of a dangerous situation without too much trouble.
Overall, Ms. Robert has delivered a worthwhile read in this book where the chemistry was off-the-charts; the romance was fan-your-face hot and proves that Charlotte is a lucky woman to have the attention of a man like Aiden with his dirty talk and determination to win the heroine over; and the ending had me loving the hero more than I already did because he would do anything to protect Charlotte and make her proud with the decision he made when it comes to right versus wrong. I would recommend Undercover Attraction by Katee Robert, if you enjoy the opposites attract trope, the sexy protector trope, or books by authors Laura Kaye, Lori Foster, Rebecca Zanetti and Julie Ann Walker.

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.
Praise
for UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION
“Robert (Forbidden Promises) combines strong
chemistry, snappy plotting, and imperfect yet appealing characters in her fifth
O’Malley contemporary.”—Publishers
Weekly on UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION
“Imagine the erotic sensibility
of Red Shoe Diaries expertly
fused with the ruthless power struggles that fueled The Sopranos and you have some
idea of the flavor of Robert’s RITA–nominated O’Malleys series. In the fifth
installment, she doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the searing
sensuality of the love scenes or the brutal danger propelling the plot, thus
delivering exactly the kind of intense love story her readers crave.”—Booklist

THE
BASTARD’S BARGAIN (Coming soon!)
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.”
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Katee
Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The
Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a
compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and
tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense,
she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her
husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie
apocalypse.
