Emma Harrison is pushing thirty and desperate to have a baby. With no partner, she has made an arrangement with her gay best friend, Connor to be her sperm donor. But Connor's partner is not in favour of the idea, and Connor reneges.

Aidan Fitzgerald, renowned for his screw-em-and-leave-em policy where women are concerned, works in marketing at the same firm as Emma. When Aidan finds out that she is wanting to conceive, he graciously offers his services as stud.

So, what did I like about The Pro More...

A woman who needs everything and a man that he thinks that he has nothing to give. Will they have their HEA?



This book represents love in the 00's. Relationships have changed. As the women gained independence, they became determined not to take any bullshit from men. But sometimes there is more between them, than a sperm and an egg to fertilize. And the m More...

I. NEED. BOOK. TWO. RIGHT. FREAKING. NOW.

Why is it not January yet?????



Gah! Ok, so I knew there was a cliffhanger when I went into this book and early on in the book there is a big "hint" at what its about that I picked up on, so on all accounts, I was ready for it but holy hell my heart was in knots by the end!!!!

*falls down on knees and begs Katie Ashley for an early release of The Proposal*

I have to say, the synopsis of this book was what grabbed me. The minute I read it, I just knew More...

Um, WOW!! Aidan is all the things I love.

I devoured this novel. It was so, so good! It was emotional and steamy. Gah!! Katie weaves erotic magic in this book.

This is a must read!!!

4.5 DELICIOUS AIDEN STARS

Ahhhhh....What took me so long to read this book?!? I really have no idea why I haven't read it before now!!! I COMPLETELY DEVOURED it. It was the cutest story I have read in awhile and the ending was OH.MY.WORD gutting! I was so not ready for it to end like that!! It left me a tad bit heart broken and a little crushed. THANK GOODNESS I had book 2 (The Proposal) on standby to read right after it. It’s definitely one of those books that leave you hanging and if you're pla More...

DNF at 50 %. I will refrain from rating this book.



Although I was looking forward to reading The Proposition, I ended up disappointed once again. Sadly, the book could not live up to my high expectations.

What did not work for me
I was aware that The Proposition dealt with Em’s ticking biological clock. In addition, I was also aware of the fact that it was not quite believable. Yet I was sure that I could have dealt with it. Having said this, there are just too many issues that ruined the book for More...

This is quite simply a fantastic debut novel by Katie Ashley. If love, laughter and passion are the hallmarks of a truly great romance, then The Proposition ticks every box. With a central duo to really believe in and cherish and also to despair with, a great host of secondary characters that are well crafted and feel real and an intriguing premise for a plot, this is quite the accomplished debut and Katie Ashley has proved herself a consummate storyteller. It’s very engaging and captivating; it More...

When I found out that Katie was going to provide me the ARC of The Proposition I was like......






This is the story of Emma & Aidan. Emma's a kind hearted, sweet, and strong as hell woman and I loved her character! She has been through some very rough times in the past 5 years and all she wants is a baby! She is desperate to have a baby and have a "family" of her own .....someone to love her! Well after her best friend since middle school Connor backs out of "donating" to the cause Emma is not More...

[This review will be gif-filled in honor of Katie, my fellow Gif whore. And yes, I’m talking about the author. By the way, thank you Katie for the ARC!]

Holy mother!



If you asked me what I thought of The Proposition, that’s what I would say. Okay, no. Maybe I would say something way stronger, but on the off chance that there are kids reading this I won’t say it. And by the way, if you’re a kid, don’t read this.

Where shall I begin?

Emma Harrison wants a family and she wants it now. Tired of waiting More...

That's the sound of Emma's biological clock.

Emma Harrison is approaching her 30th birthday and wants nothing more in this world than to have a family. Unfortunately she is not currently dating anyone. Finding a good man to marry and procreate with may take years. But it only takes 9 months to have a baby via the sperm bank. Emma realizes that she may not have the man of her dreams yet; but More...

“Have you ever wanted something so bad you think you’d die if you don’t have it? That the mere thought of it keeps you up at night. You can’t sleep, you can’t eat, you can’t drink. You are so consumed by that desire nothing else matters, and you’re not sure life is worth living if you can’t have it.”

There is this woman. Emma.
Joyous and full of life, but with strong moments of loss bearing on her shoulders not very far in her past. A most amazingly funny woman, but with an intense need gnawi More...

FOUND MY REVIEW!

AIDEN I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR BABY AS WELL!

What an amazing book!

This book has a little bit of everything that I love. Hero with a rep for being a player (Or as Katie Ashley said, a douchenozzle!), a shy but also very strong heroine, emotional support from great friends and family, craving for a baby, and of course falling in love with a man with commitment issues. I just knew Aiden would be amazing. The player, that deeply wants that "person" or "family", even if HE doesn't ev More...

Ohmygod. OH.MY.GOD. I loved the CRAP out of The Proposition by Katie Ashley. It fits right in with the books I love to love. Why? Because I sat there with a stupid grin on my face the whole time I read it.


Add to that some laughing, a few choked up moments, and a "No Fucking Way! I'm gonna toss my phone and cut his balls off" and you've got a great book. But I must warn you....it ends in a cliffhanger, and the sequel will be out in J More...

“Here’s my proposition. I offer to father your child, and you in turn, promise to conceive it with me naturally.”

Just when I thought another romance novel couldn’t possibly surprise me - Ladies and Gentlemen, lo and behold, The Proposition!! A perfect ratio of sweet and romantic, a super-sized amount of scorching hot lovin’ and convincing sexual chemistry, with just a dash of angst, this is the perfect recipe for the type of story that will please anyone looking for a book to curl up with and More...

'The Proposal' is out early. :D
So read this if you haven't already and then jump into the sequel! ;)
4.5 Stars!
The flow of the conversation between them is so natural and nice and it just feels right!
I was like reading a nice movie :P The characters were great.
Aidan, Love the name ;) HOT as hell, sweet without knowing it and a pure breed asshole :P haha
Emma, Lovely girl! Love her family and her crazy best friends!

Really enjoyed the book, looking forward to the next one, Can't wait for what happen More...

I loved this book! I love the premise, I love the writing, and I love the characters and their relationship.

Emma is desperate for a baby, and being all alone with no prospects of a man coming into her life, she is willing to do anything to make her dream come true. When the sexy, man whoring player from work, Aidan Fitzgerald, finds out about her situation, he offers to be her ‘sperm donor’. Aidan has wanted Emma since he first laid eyes on her, and after being brutally shot down by her when he More...

My dear Katie Ashley,
I ask with love, what the f*ck was that? I'm a little angry at you for the ending, but if I'm being honest I'm really still angry with Aidan. I don't know how I'm going to wait till March! Anyhow, let's talk about this book of yours I just finished....
Holy hell I feel like my heart aches and my gut is just now settling down. Emotions. A good book is one that makes you experience many of them from laughing out loud to gut wrenching sadness and dissapointment. I experienced t More...

I had so many personal connections to this book, combined with the fantastic writing and storytelling, that 5 stars just isn't enough to relay how much I enjoyed reading The Proposition. If this book is mixed in with a bunch of others on that never-ending TBR list, do yourself a favor, and move it to the top. You can thank me later.

The storyline was quite different but extremely enjoyable, especially without the "damaged characters." And I am not going to rehash the “book synopsis,” as that wou More...

Like: Emma is sassy & Aiden is sexy. They are a cute pair!

Dislike: Cheesy, formulaic for most part, and both sides of their extended nosy families show up with opinions.

HATE: There's going to be a sequel. Why??? HEA are overrated IMO. Ambiguous endings are far more poignant & memorable.

The whole time I read this one, I thought this could be a movie. The writing was smooth and seamless, the dialogue was fantastic and it gave just enough description and background to pull it all together. In fact, I was so into it, I have Matthew McConaughey cast as Aidan (he may be a little old but a younger Matthew would fit perfectly!) and Isla Fisher as Emma. This is one of my favorite reads this year! Why? It is hot, funny and very well-written. I could not stop turning pages and when I got More...

4.5 stars. This is one of the best contemporary romance novels I have read this year. The storyline was fun and entertaining, I really like the H/h as well as the multitude of secondary characters, the scenes involving the H/h's family members; Aidan's Dad and his sisters and nephews were priceless and the whole ho-down at Emma's grandparents barn was so sweet-Love Emma's grandpa! The sex scenes (personal favorite) were written very tastefully and had my steam engine in overdrive. Watching these More...

Such an amazing book! I loved Emma and Aidan's relationship and I felt that although different their relationship was really relatable. I was worried when I started this that the situation between Aidan and Emma was going to come acrossed really fake and forced but it was done perfectly! There was no insta-love and the problems that Emma and Aidan had in their relationship were some that a lot of couples can relate to. Love love love this book!

Can't wait for the next one ;)

The story was going smoothly. I was so proud of Aidan for truly trying and manning up.

Then at 91%.....



Then at 92%.....



Then at 93%.....



Then at 94%.....











WooooooSaahhhhhhh




NO I AM NOT FINE! That dirty little thing who calls himself a man did the unimagnible (in my opinion) and the WORST part is I still fucking love him!



I just want to rip him to shreads! HOW COULD YOU!!!!







And now I have to wait?!?!?! I have to wait to see how he begs and redeems himself to us all?!?!?!?

Wow, wow, wow! What a wonderful and fun surprise I found in The Proposition by Katie Ashley. I have been in search for a fun, easy, sexy, romance book that was written well with a good story line and I found it in The Proposition! I stayed up until 5 a.m. reading this… yes 5 a.m. and my eye balls are falling out of my head right now at work but it was so worth it because I LOVED it. Did I mention I love Aidan too? Yes, my new book boyfriend and h More...

Total guilty pleasure read! I blew through this and actually really loved it!

This book reminds me of one of those romantic comedies or chick flicks… you know, the ones that you don’t really know why you like, but you can’t help but leave it in your DVD player and randomly watch it over and over? Yup, just like that. Maybe because it reminds me of a couple that has come out in the last few years about woman wanting babies, in a bad bad way! e.g. The Switch, but I guess I know why I like that on More...

I’m a sucker for relationship development that started as a scheme, especially if this scheme involves babies (making babies *winks*). So when I saw this book and read the blurb, reading it is the natural thing to do. This is my kind of book. This is definitely, a hundred percent ‘Mitchii’s’ book. But despite my enthusiasm, I wasn’t planning to read it immediately. I have a very limited time right now and it’s kinda hindering me from my hobby. But the intrigued person that I am, I peeked and was More...

I just finished my reread of this book and it just reminds me how much I love this story. Can' t wait to see Aiden win her back. And I know he will because they were meant to be.

_____________________________________________________________________

I loved this book! I found myself laughing a lot more than I expected. The connection between the main characters was extremely believable and even the secondary characters were entertaining. I loved Pop! I think he was my favorite. Well maybe Casey. T More...

Oh, how I loved this book!! I.COULD.NOT.PUT.IT.DOWN! This book just moved along and flowed perfectly. The writing and characters were so believable. Story line was great. The dialogue felt real and what you would expect for characters their age. Aiden is sexy and funny and whenever he dropped the "F" bomb it was freakin hot! This is not always the case in other books, but this one, definitely worked for me! ;) Emma is so stinkin cute, funny, & strong and I want to hug her to death! She had m More...

UPDATE: Okay the The Proposal is out so all is OKAY!! LOL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE BOOKS! So good!


REALLY, really was liking this book UNTIL "To be Continued" showed up on page 213.

I AM SICK of these to be continued books! They are killing me. At the very least, let us know before hand, so we can wait and buy the whole story at one time and read the whole story.

Otherwise, the romance, the characters and their chemistry is very Hot! Great story, just wished it had an ending.

I was so glad I picked this book up on a whim. I didn't even check out the blurb nor did I find the cover eye-catching, in fact I didn't quite like it [the cover]. I don't really know what urged me to pick and download this. But for whatever the hell reason, I just did. I started reading this with no idea what this book will be about. So you see, I was surprised, completely surprised to find myself devouring this in one night. And gratefully thanking my instinct for letting me pick this. Because More...
