About this listen
With her 30th birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor yet to appear. She's running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her sperm donor. Of course, there's always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.
Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he's determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma's predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma's child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.
Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can't seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be?

Of course, she never imagined that stumbling onto the wrong tour bus at Rock Nation would accidentally land her in the bed of Jake Slater, the notorious womanizing lead singer of Runaway Train.

Story
He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

At 25, I was armed with an MBA from Harvard, an executive position at my father's Fortune 500 company, a penthouse, and a different piece of delectable eye candy in my bed every weekend. I had a life most men dreamed of. But then my father decided to run for president, and my playboy lifestyle became a liability to his campaign that was built on family values.

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

Jack and I, we did everything backward. The day he lured me into his office - which was also the first day we met - he proposed. You'd think a guy who looked like him - a bit cold maybe, but still striking and very unattainable - would only ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You'd think he must be madly in love.

Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It's somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn, but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn't fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she's kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She's given up hope of seeing him ever again.

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Ok, not great. Didn't finish.
Honestly, I listened to most of it, waiting for it to get better. I didn't finish it, though. The plot idea was a fun one, it just didn't flesh out to be interesting enough for me. The narration was fine, but not enough emotion behind it.

Unfinished
I didn’t like the ending as you didn’t get to hear him gravel. I enjoyed it up until that part. I enjoyed the Near raider except for the squeal when the woman gets excited. I’ve heard her before in other box and I never like the way she squeals.

Really liked the book, but hated the audio version
What did you like best about The Proposition? What did you like least?
I like the story, but found the narrator's voices annoying to the point that I fast forwarded through scenes where she did her best friends voice and any non-Aiden scenes.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Proposition?
n/a
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Justine O. Keef?
i really don't have a favorite female narrator, though I can say for sure I'm not a fan of Justine O. Keef.
Could you see The Proposition being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
ummmm, maybe a lifetime movie with Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. LOL

What happened to the end?????
Liked this book until the abrupt ending. Seriously, I read romance for a happily ever after ending, not a cliffhanger. Leave that to the suspense novels. Lots of relationship detail, until the abrupt ending. Would have taken much to give this an end instead of a “what just happened, that’s it?!” I thought I’d found a new author but doubt I’ll pick up another by this one. Bummer.

enjoyed the book, didn't care for the audio
originally, i read this book when it first came out on my kindle. loved it! thought i'd try the audio version and thankfully i only paid two dollars for both this book and its sequel.
i'm not sure how i feel about this audio version. sometimes i enjoyed, but then other times i thought the voices were too shrill and aiden's voice bothered me all the time. he almost sounded like an idiot and not a smart executive.
the book was GREAT but the audio? not so much. just so-so. :(

Cool til the end
What made the experience of listening to The Proposition the most enjoyable?
I really enjoyed this story on several levels. It's sexy, great dialogue and interesting characters. The storyline is interesting, but the female main character is too weak for my taste, the male's issues don't have a very plausible explanation and the cliffhanging ending was not appreciated.
What other book might you compare The Proposition to and why?
This is a classic Harlequin romance without the satisfying editorial perimeters.
What about Justine O. Keef’s performance did you like?
Ms. O'Keef did an excellent job with keeping voices clear. And her sexy scenes are really steamy.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Frustrated. I wanted to slap Em on several occasions.
Any additional comments?
I wish that this had be one, maybe two books instead of three.

That's not an ending!!!!
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Honestly, everything was great up until the ending. It was like dropping off a cliff. Highly disappointing.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I have no idea but a modern romance or a modern story about women in their 40's.
Which scene was your favorite?
Hmm, this book is kind of sappy and predictable so I can't say that I have a favorite.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
NOT WITH THAT ENDING.
