Intriguing, but too short to really make an impression. ~ Under the Covers
I read THE PARTY first because on GR, it says that it is the prequel. Yeah, no.
I felt a little lost as to what was going on. I would suggest reading this short after the series, just as something extra to read. This is Aiden and Emma’s story, but it’s just really glimpses here and there. Nothing that really forms a whole story so I definitely believe it’s best to read THE PROPOSITION and THE PROPOSAL first.
As this is my first Katie Ashley book, I’ll give you my first impression rundown:
- I liked the style of writing and also enjoyed the author’s voice.
- Aiden Fitzgerald’s character didn’t strike me as someone I would fall in love with based on first impression. I think I will have to hold off on making an opinion until I read the rest of the series.
- Emma is sweet but I wanted more of a conflict with her character.

I’m an obsessive makeup junkie and a compulsive reader. I like to call Under the Covers Book Blog my stomping ground, but when I’m not talking about books with my girls, I write New Adult Dystopian and Contemporary Romance under the pen name Ana Jolene (http://www.anajolene.com). I also work as a virtual assistant for authors. You also can find me as a reviewer and columnist for FreshFiction.com.
When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!

You’re right, Annie. This book is definitely one readers need to read after The Proposition. I think you’ll find Aidan to be a bit more favorable in the Proposition. Well at least for the most part. I’m looking for see what you think of this series.
Damn, goodreads screwed me over. But I will still read the first two books and then maybe reread this one after since it was only a few pages long.
Thanks for the review Ann!
