Twisted Secrets

Cillian and Olivia are like a bad cliche'. Their love story reads like a Greek tragedy. Surrounded by violence, ambition and sadness, each is searching for a way to escape. Katee Robert's story of sacrifice, survival and redemption is lead by courageous central characters who are more than the danger, darkness and tragedy embedded in their DNA. Each has to overcome obstacles ranging from guilt, to unknown enemies and secrets in order to find the strength to leave behind the bitterness and mistrust ingrained in their souls. It is amazing to me how flexible an author Ms. Robert is proving to be. Her street smart heroes and heroines are as intriguing as her suave heroes and sassy heroines. An Indecent Proposal has that edge of danger that good girls love.

I really liked the almost tragic love story of Cilliine and Olivia. Cilline's tragic past & his struggle to find his place in a world so engrossed in chaos, his willingness to accept his fate. That is until he finds a little bit of hope in the form of Olivia. It's story of both characters trying to find a way to live in a world where it's not safe to have a dream, or hope, or love. The struggle for it all is worth your time to read this book to find out what will happen.

This is one of those series that just keeps getting better. In this third installment we get Cillian O’Malley’s story. Cillian is the middle child of seven and was always known to be the trouble maker. All of that changed the night before his oldest brother’s Teague’s wedding when a drive by shooting from a rival family killed their younger brother Declan. The past months since that tragic nigh have slowly been eating away at Cillian. He doesn’t sleep, he quit drinking and smoking and he finds no comfort or joy in life anymore. That is until he meets a fiery bartender who wants nothing to do with him and avoids him at all cost. Olivia is on the run from her own family and a crazy ex who is determined to bend her to their will. She will do everything to protect herself and her daughter, even from someone as devilishly handsome as Cillian O’Malley. Yet when she finds him being attacked in the alley behind the bar she works in she rushes to his aid and they start to create a bond that only strengthens the attraction they both have been fighting. When her family and ex get to close for comfort Olivia turns to the only person she know who can help, Cillian. This was such a great book. It really delves into the pain and responsibility Cillian has been shouldering since Devlin’s death. The book was a complete rollercoaster of emotions ranging from pain and suffering to smoking hot passion. I would highly recommend this book and series to everyone. I received an eARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.
