Charlotte Finch who goes by the name Charlie Moreaux knows
betrayal of the worst kind. A cop who was set up by dirty
cops knows there is a lot of gray in the world. But the last
thing she expects is for Irish Mafia Don Aiden O'Malley to
come along and offer her sweet revenge. There is a catch she
has to pretend to be his fiancée to get close enough to
their mutual enemies. She just never expects that her cop
heart would fall for the bad guy with an UNDERCOVER
ATTRACTION that cannot and won't be denied. Aiden O'Malley knows what he is and knows he will never
change but he also knows that the blonde haired former cop
is the answer to his prayers. With her help, he can get rid
of his enemy and help her get revenge against another who
has designs on his little sister. UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION is an amazing read. The formula for
this story is unique in the mafia genre. It does deal with
organized crime families of Irish and Russian descent and a
couple of women more dangerous and deadly than the men they
compete with. Add in cops, ex-cops and a romance that isn't
supposed to happen and you have UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION. Charlie's life had always been the law, her father is a hot
shot agent, who didn't disown her when she was labeled dirty
but didn't exactly stand by her side in those days. She hit
bottom and Aiden gave her a reason to climb out ... she
didn't believe in the good guys anymore but she did want
revenge. I like her, she has grit, a good mind and when push
comes to shove she certainly knows how to shove back and
that, of course, include Aiden. Aiden is a bit of a mystery, even after reading this book.
He has done wrong, made mistakes that have threatened family
members but he is also trying to protect them. There is a
rift between his sisters and him that the readers get to see
mend just a bit as the pages turn, but you also realize that
the last thing he expects is to fall in love with any woman,
let alone Charlie. There are many expected and totally
unexpected twists and turns and the Eldridge women gave me
shivers just reading about them. The romance between Aiden
and Charlie could also be called gritty as neither was
willing or at best ready to admit that the sexual tension
they felt had a deeper meaning until it is almost too late. I have to admit that although this is the first of author
Katee Robert's The
O'Malley's I have had the opportunity to read, I
will be looking for the others, because UNDERCOVER
ATTRACTION was so addictive I want another fix of this
author's writing skill. This is going in my read again shelf.
SUMMARY
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.
