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.

Undercover Attraction is a stunning story and we continue on with the O Malley clan, and in this wonderful book we have AIDEN's story---yep you heard me....the eldest and the biggest baddass of them all. I honestly didn't know how I would feel about this book, to be honest. Aiden is the one sibling I have really really struggled with through this series. He is the one sibling that never says no to their parents, always falls in line and does what is necessary. But in this book, we see a whole new side to his character, and that is what really made this book fantastic. Aiden has burned quite a few bridges with his siblings. But we see how has had to, because he bears every weight on his shoulders. He is the epitome of being the oldest child, taking responsibliity for his siblings and looking out for them even if it doesn't look that way. But in Undercover Attraction  we see how he has a plan, a devious plan to save his youngest sister from marriage, it has one draw back, he will have to keep the truth from his family, only a few people can know including the one woman that he is drawn to and he knows she is perfect. Our heroine reluctantly agrees to pose as Aiden's fiancee to get justice for how some dirty cops turned on her, and her life fell apart. Everyone sees her as a bad cop, even though she is innocent even her own family rejected her. But as she works with Aiden, and gets to know his siblings, she starts to see what "family" is really about and what has been missing in her life.

There were so many fun and thrilling aspects to this story. The first was the trope that we get introduced to here. Its the whole fake engagement which is so great to see and rare in a contemporary romance and boy Robert's wrote it so well. Then we get more exciting moments with this family. I swear the O'Malley's are one of the most memorable families that I have ever had the opportunity to read. We get see all of our old favorites of course and side plot line with the youngest sister Keira and our nemesis of the series Dmitri. And boy I so can't wait for their book!!!

Now the romance that builds between Aiden and Charlie starts off as chemistry. They are really opposites in most ways except when they touch and then is like fireworks. So yeah the sex in this book is hot and off the charts. What really proves them though is the emotional build up. They have to overcome some obstacles and start to let their emotions take over. They do learn to accept that what is between them is stronger than sex, it's more binding. And they go from a fake engagement to building something more real. As both Charlie and Aiden starts to grow more into themselves, and change in some positive ways, we see how in touch they are with each other. We learn that Aiden isn't the bad boy he appears to be and that Charlie has a vulnerable side despite how tough she tries to appear on the outside. But honestly what I really enjoyed about Charlie's character was how she handles Aiden. She isn't afraid of him and that really makes a different. She talks to him and fights with him when she believes he is wrong and I do think that she is exactly what he needs.
 
  I don't know how to explain it, but you fit. You see me in a way that no one else does, and you're never afraid to push back when I'm being a dick.
 
And what a teaser at the end....man I want book SIX like NOW!!! But sadly we have to wait until February 2018. This is where these authors test our patience right? hehe

Rating: 4 Stars - Loved It

I enjoyed the fake engagement with Aiden and Charlotte in Undercover Attraction (The O’Malleys #5) by Katee Robert.

The best part was getting a good amount of page time with Keira and Dmitri who are part of the plot and their story is next.

At the beginning I didn't want to read this one, I was considering to jump onto book 6 because I didn't really like Aiden, but GOD AM I HAPPY I DIDN"T SKIP IT. I enjoyed this story so, so, so much.

Man oh man, The O'Malleys series just keeps getting better and better. I was so excited to finally get Aiden's story and I was thrilled he was paired with disgraced ex-cop Charlotte. The mobster... and the (ex-) cop. That's the kind of complicated relationship dreams are made of, right? Add in a fake relationship and I am so far on board it's not even funny.

Aiden was a fantastic character — so complicated and so much more to him than met the eye. I mean, surely I wouldn't fall for the head of the mob family, right? Oh so very wrong. He was deeply protective of the people in his life, the people he loves... even if he didn't exactly go about protecting them in the best way at times. I LOVED Charlotte. She was strong and determined, despite all the baggage she was carrying. She was such a good match for Aiden. "Fake" relationship... right. Things might've started out that way, but it wasn't long before these two were falling for each other hard. 

Hot and sexy scenes, quality romance, edge-of-your-seat suspense, complex family drama and feels — Undercover Attraction had it all. It also made me that much more anxious to get my hands on Keira and Dmitry's book. I neeeeeed The Bastard's Bargain like I need air. (Ok, slight exaggeration. BUT STILL.)

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

FAVORITE QUOTES

Aiden O'Malley was many things, but appropriate didn't begin to enter into the equation, and safe wasn't even in the same universe. He was dangerous in ways that had nothing to do with the family he was born into, and everything to do with how he frayed her control without even trying. He was a man who inspired the kind of lust that left nothing in its wake.

"You're playing with fire, Charlie."
"Maybe I like the burn."

"Trust me—I'm not going to break rank. I'm destined to marry the monster in the castle, except I'm not beautiful or virginal enough to tame him, and this isn't a fairy tale, where my wit and charm are going to see me into a happily ever after."

He made her feel alive—truly alive—for the first time in as long as she could remember. Her body lit up in his presence, where she felt truly safe. It wasn't a lie. The world wasn't perfect, but with Aiden she felt like there was actually a chance she could make a difference. Somehow.

This book is part of The O'Malleys series. It is book number 5 but you can read this book as a stand-alone if you don't want to read all the previous books but I promise you,you will want to read them as well because this series is amazing.

I love Charlotte and Aiden together and I am sure you will too. 
This book got me hooked from the very beginning. If it weren't that last week was a stressful and crazy one I would have finished this book within 24 hours. 

I give this a 4.5 out of 5.
