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?

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.

Ok, not great. Didn't finish.

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.

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

Really liked the book, but hated the audio version

Omgoodness such an amazing book I need to get the next installment I wish it didn’t end on a cliff. Performance is amazing and story is very well written.

Yes a great listen

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.

What happened to the end?????

Amazing!

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. :(

enjoyed the book, didn't care for the audio

I was enjoying this book. until the end. I hate cliffhangers... glad it was part of escape package. reader beware.

Disappointed it ends with a cliffhanger...

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.

Cool til the end

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.

That's not an ending!!!!
