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 … she’ll have to pretend to be his fiancee 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.

“I’m a goddamn savage in a three-thousand-dollar suit.”
Holy mafia! Undercover Attraction by Katee Robert is a wonderful reading. I’m a fan of Mafia Romance and this one has me drooling. It left me wanting more and more.
This is the first time I read something from Katee Robert and now I’m addicted to her brilliant writing. It was like I was watching one of the best Mafia movies of the year instead of reading a book. I fell deep into the story. This book should be optioned to become a movie or a TV series. I can imagine David Gandy as Aiden O’Malley. He has the looks and a powerful aura just like Aiden. This is only a dream but it could be true.
The plot is refreshing and so intense. The storyline is well developed. The characters are strong and complex. This book is a great pleasure. It had me at the edge of my seat. I devoured it. It took my breath away. There is not greater pleasure than reading a good book and Undercover Attraction has all the elements that make it one of the best books over the year.
This book can be read as a standalone and is the story of Aiden O’Malley the one who manages the O’Malley Empire.
Aiden is a powerful man, possessive as hell and so intense. If you search alpha male in the dictionary, you will find his picture. He has a raw character but he is loyal to his family. He is not like his father. He is better than him. His priority is to protect his family, especially his little sister. He won’t let The Russian to make her his wife. He will do anything to avoid that. Keira deserves better.
Charlotte will be his weapon against Dmitri. Her revenge desires will help him to use her as a distraction. But she will be more than a simply distraction.
Charlotte is gonna change his game. He will give her the chance to clean her name. He will offer her justice in exchange of a small request. She has to be his fake fiancé. Being together will be a bittersweet pleasure. The attraction between them will consume their souls. Sex was not on the table but if they want to convince the most powerful spheres of the mafia, they will do it. They will play with fire and they will burnt.
Charlotte and Aiden have a deal that will benefit both of them. But
This is one of the most intense, forbidden and passionate Mafia Romance I had the pleasure to read. It was a raw mind-blowing read. I need more of the O’Malleys so I’m planning to read the other books in the series. Also I will be waiting “patiently” for the next book. Keira and Dmitri’s story will be epic and so freaking intense. I can feel it in my skin.

I love Charlie!! She is perfect for Aiden. There was more family drama and danger which I’m here for. I cannot wait to read the last book!
When an author can turn mafia families into the good guys – you know you’ve got a great series on your hands. This is the 4th book in the O’Malley’s series and it didn’t disappoint. Loved it.
The O’Malleys are back!!! Their story picks up right where Forbidden Promises (The O’Malleys #4) left off.
*** WARNING ***
Undercover Attraction is not a standalone. You need to read The O’Malleys series starting with book 1, The Marriage Contract. You will not understand a single thing if you do not start from the beginning. Knowing that, this is a series worth reading!
It’s Aiden O’Malley’s turn to fall in love. I wasn’t fully sure of my feelings regarding Aiden. But wow… I loved him in this book! Charlie Moreaux was his perfect match!
Charlie Moreaux has a rough past and wants justice.
Aiden O’Malley is the head of one of Boston’s Irish mafia families. He seeks out Charlie and offers a proposition that she cannot refuse.
Bring on the fun…
There are so many different storylines that make up one larger story in The O’Malleys series. It has the perfect balance of focusing on one couples love story while keeping you on the edge of your seat watching all of the action happen right in front of you! The twists and turns that happen throughout this series blow me away.
“The balance of power between the three Boston ruling families – the O’Malleys, the Hallorons, and the Sheridans – was as stable as it would ever be. The feds had backed off enough that he could breathe. Even Dmitri Romanov had been lulled into a false truce at the chance of bringing down a new player in the game. The Eldridges.”
~ Katee Robert, Undercover Attraction (The O’Malleys #5)
Watching Aiden change and grow throughout this book was fun. He ended up being the man that Charlie didn’t know she needed. They had amazing chemistry from the start. Their emotions for each other grew from there. *sighs*
“I don’t want to think about tomorrow or what I’m risking by being here with you.”

If you are a fan of mafia stories, then you need this series in your life!
I am so looking forward to the next book in this series, The Bastard’s Bargain, releasing February 6, 2018!!! Start reading this series now so you are ready to go for Dmitri & Keira!
Thank you Katee for writing this series. If you couldn’t tell, I love the O’Malleys! Keep them coming!!

Aiden leaves no room for arguement, “he pulled away enough to say, “I’m effing you tonight.” There are times Aiden just can’t handle Charlie’s surprises, “Aiden cursed. “Next time you forget such a vital part of your wardrobe, the moment I find out, I’m going to eff you. I might give you the option of dragging you to the nearest bathroom… if you’re lucky.” I was sad thinking this was the last book in the series, but then I realized I’m pretty sure there’s going to be another one and I can’t wait for those two characters. I loved this book.
Undercover Attraction by Katee Robert is the fifth book in her The O’Malley’s series. I was beyond excited for Aiden’s story. Prior to this revealing tale he was the cold oldest brother and heir to the O’Malley empire in Boston. Despite what he has allowed his siblings to believe he does care and he does have a heart, what he cannot do is afford to let it show. Not at all in any part of his life. When he pulls in ex-cop Charlotte Finch to be his fake fiancee for the next stage in his plan he gets so much more than he expected from the bargain. It may have started out as an agreement with mutually beneficial end results but it ends as wonderful romantic tale of the ice King and his Queen overcoming the odds, AND the bad(der) guys to find true love! Enjoy!
Love this series.
4.25 stars–UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION by Katee Robert is the fifth instalment in the author’s contemporary, adult THE O’MALLEYS erotic, mafia, romantic suspense series focusing on three warring underground families of the Boston’s Irish mob (O’Malleys, Hallorans & Sheridans), the Russian mafia run by the Romanov family, and new contenders for the Boston territory Alethea and Mae Eldridge. This is the head of the O’Malley clan Aiden O’Malley, and former police officer Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Finch’s story line. UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion as there is a continuing theme running throughout.
Told from several third person perspectives including Aiden and Charlie UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION follows the fake engagement /fiancée trope between former police officer Charlotte Finch, and the acting head of the O’Malley family Aiden O’Malley. Charlotte Finch knows pain, and the fall out of coming clean to the people in charge but vengeance against Dimitri Romanov of the Boston Russian mob has our heroine agreeing to play ‘fiancee’ to the alpha leader of the O’Malley clan. While Aiden appears to disregard his family’s advice, our hero struggles to set into motion a plan to take down everyone threatening the people he loves and management of the territory the family controls. What ensues is the building love and relationship between Aiden and Charlie, and the potential fall out when Charlie is taken hostage by the new players in town.
UNERCOVER ATTRACTION follows several paths including the fractured dynamics of a once proud and controlling Boston mafia family. The inter-family pairings finds allegiances changing but love for one another causes rifts in an already crumbling foundation. Aiden’s announcement of a quick engagement threatens the ever-changing O’Malley control but our hero keeps secret the truth behind his hasty involvement with the woman that will soon call to his heart.
There are a large number of secondary and supporting characters including most of the O’Malley clan: Teague and Callista O’Malley (The Marriage Contract #1): James Halloran and Carrigan O’Malley (The Wedding Pact #2); Olivia and Cillian O’Malley (An Indecent Proposal #3) and their long, suffering sister Keira O’Malley who struggles with demons of her own; Russian mobster Dimitri Romanov whose need to seek vengeance against the O’Malley and Halloran clans quickly shifts as the Edridges seek to destroy them all; hired men Mark and Liam Neale; Charlotte’s father FBI agent John Finch; and the return of the O’Malley patriarch Seamus O’Malley and his wife. Keira and Dimitri’s story is next in The Bastard’s Bargain.
UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION is a story of suspense, family, revenge and love. The premise is intriguing, captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive, erotic and intense; the characters are expressive, charismatic and compelling. UNDERCOVER ATTRACTION looks at the tight knit families of the Boston mob, and the power they exert over the people they love.
Cops. Mob bosses. Lies. Sex. And enemies. Great storyline and awesome characters. I felt like I was right there with them. I really enjoyed this book.
Charlie comes from a long line of cops. She gets branded as a “dirty cop” and realizes the brothers in blue will not stand by your side. Aiden the the head of the O’Malley crime family. He wants to take out a rival and convinces Charlie to be his fake fiancée. She wants to take down the man who was instrumental in her downfall and they happen to be the same man.
But Charlie finds out there are other colors besides black and white and good and bad guys. Aiden is not as bad as she thought and starts to fall for him. Between Aiden’s father trying to separate them and another crime boss trying to kill her, maybe they’ll figure out their feelings or go their separate ways after the threat is handled. There is a slight cliffhanger but nothing that won’t be explained by the next book ( I hope ).
* VOLUNTARILY READ AND REVIEWED THIS FOR NETGALLEY *
The bad boy with a dangerous mind, a healthy ego and an appetite for all things naughty. Aidan has no idea how to be a hero, but he’ll break every rule to protect the people he loves. The master of complex is back to direct readers through an ever winding maze of intricate characters, shocking reveals and romance on the edge. Undercover Attraction is a sensual buffet that sets out to blow the mind and ends up stealing your heart.
