The Proposition 3: The Ferro Family

The Proposition #3

by H.M. Ward

Blackmail. Sex. Ferro.

An engagement is the farthest thing from my mind, but as Neil holds up the ring I glance around and notice someone is missing. Maggie. The man had the audacity to invite everyone else except my best friend. Where is she? When I go to find out, I don't like what I discover.

Once, I'd thought I was different from the Ferros and the Campagones, but when it comes down to it--I'm exactly the same.

To say I'm writing this review with dry eyes is a complete and total lie...

I'm seriously crying my eyes out right now... Holy crap, this latest volume has you on your toes... As always, Holly has you sitting on the edge of your seat to find out what the hell is going to happen next...

What I guarantee from this latest volume is; shock, shock ummm and more shock!!! laughter, mystery, hot and super sweatie steamy sex scenes, WTF's, shock, heartache, love, friendship, solidarity, and tears oh so many tears... You just may have some crossover characters tooo!!!! Mmm, mmm, mmm!!!!!

But it's not up to me to tell you how exactly they will come, it's up to you to read it for yourself...

There is a reason why Bryan Ferro is blackmailing Hallie, but it may not be for the reason we all thought...

This cliffhanger has you in ABSOLUTE TEARS!!!! Or it did me anyways...

Pick up your copy later tonight or tomorrow so you can find out for yourself. Once again this is not a stand-alone novel. It is a series made up of 5 volumes and this being the third. If you are looking for a stand-alone novel this isn't for you. It will eventually be comprised into an Omnibus if you want to wait for all 5 volumes that's your choice - but why, when you can have each volume giving monthly and wait while you bite your nails...lol If you are looking for a stand-alone, Holly does have several of them too and they're part of the "Ferro Family". Check out her Facebook page for more of her great books.

I hope you get to enjoy this latest volume and soak it up in a couple of hours!!! Well worth the wait!!!

Quick summary of what I thought of the book and it's characters. First up, the characters!

Hallie:


Bryan:


Neil:


Cecily:

Now, onto the book!

Neil took the silence from Halllie as a 'YES, I'LL MARRY YOU!'



The car reported stolen?


Hallie killed someone to protect her friend


Bryan's sick

And that pretty much sums up all of the feelz I had while reading this amazing story. Oh! And one last thing, because I feel that it needs to be here, desperately. This is aimed at all of the people who don't like H.M. Ward's serial series, k? Yes, you know who you are. Let's pretend that I'm Anna and you're the bumbling idiot who underestimated me.

If you don't like the series, just stop reading it. If you don't like short books, then go pick up a novel, like Damaged, which a completed series, by the way. Because I know that some of you folks don't think she ever finishes a series. She's actually completed many. For example: Damaged, Secrets, The Secret Life of Trystan Scott, and Scanadlous. As for the money issue, the serials are $2.99 and The Proposition is going to be 5 book long(Which she said on her FB page). That means you'll only spend $14.95 on this series, and if that's too much for you, then I recommend that you just stop reading. Not all books can be $0.99. People need to make a living. It's like complaining about how much a candy bar cost. Get over it.

If you don't like the series, stop reading it.
If you don't like how much it cost, stop reading it.
If you don't like how short it is, stop reading it.
If you don't like how long it takes to release the books, stop reading it.
If you don't like it, stop reading it.

I sort of fell off the Ferro Family bandwagon a while ago. And unfortunately I ended up reading the latest Arrangement installment that ended up giving me a major spoiler for Bryan’s story. I thought at first, what’s the use in reading this... I know how it is all going to end. I really wished that there had been some indication in the Arrangement installment of this... But with a few hours to kill and me trying to get some of my TBR list under control, I decided I’d go back into this series and read the few installments I already had downloaded.

I actually found myself really enjoying this installment and the fact that Bryan’s story if far more complex than I thought it would be. Even given knowing what will come in part five. It ended up being a little more emotional than expected and I knowing about what is to come really didn’t ruin that aspect. It sort of made me want to not give up on Sean’s story....

[April · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG...Where do I even begin!

My heart is racing,I'm crying a little and gasping for breath, but what else would you expect from HM Ward!

This installment of The Proposition series is phenomenal!!! There really isn't much I can say without giving anything away so I will just tell you to make sure that you grab your copy as soon as you can!!!


Bryan Ferro is mysterious and gorgeous and he has his reasons for the things that he does like BLACKMAILING Haliie but will she or anyone else find out what secrets he holds?

Hallie is not little miss perfect, she has to make some rough and hard choices!

It wouldn't be a true HM Ward book if she didn't leave us with one hell of a cliffhanger and that she does!!

[Joanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I forget how to insert spoiler removers, so this is mine! POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!!!



I was so shocked after reading this volume of The Proposition, that I had to sleep and ponder what I had just read.
I was left with certain emotion that I couldn't identify.

We pick up right where we left off, in a strange, give me goosebumps, kind of place with Hallie, Neil, and creepy Ceicily. I'm still not sure what is going on with Neil the p@$$¥ and Ceicily the sneaky planning bitch, but SOMETHING IS HAPPENING! Neil pulls out that ring, and I immediately become so angry I want to throw things...namely him.
Not only does this moronic prick propose, but Hallie is ushered into a massive engagement party she knows nothing about.....w/o her best friend Maggie.

Knowing about Maggie's current situation, Hallie speeds off in her new car to find her. She manages to find her and ends up in a fairly unsavory predicament, that has a turn that leaves he reader breathless! Once Hallie has Maggie, they head back to her house.

Enter the smokin hot God, Bryan Ferro! This man is so unpredictable with balls the size of cantaloupes, he'll leave your head spinning! He shows up at Hallie and Neil's house, and makes his claim on her IN THEIR HOUSE! Oh my gosh, hold on to your panties, or don't, cuz hey are going to melt off from the sheer hotness of Ferro lust! Audiobook will me a must for this volume! When yur done sweating, have a drink and continue!

Hallie ends up getting arrested for driving a stolen car.....and of course she calls Bryan, not Neil. They go to a sleazy hotel....confusion....and start to have some conversation, among other delishisness, and Hallie finds drugs in his pocket. So much happens in this particular part of the story that I can't say without bringing to much information and ruining the story! My heart sank, I cried, and I just wanted to be Hallie in that moment!

Jon is back as well, and hmmmm.....enter cray cray Ferro mommy!

This book is riveting in a way that sinks into your soul. I want to know, although I have my suspicions, what is going on with Bryan, and just how sick is he that he's willing to possibly die to be with Hallie just one more time!

[Colette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dark and fabulously addictive read.

Is there no rest for the Ferro family and all who love them? So far, the answer is no. Especially in this latest segment of The Proposition. A Ferro fan will not be disappointed by any means in the continuing story of Bryan and Hallie. Through the pages, you'll get to know Hallie and see her in a way not expected by HM Ward fans. I know I didn't see it coming. It has your signature Ward steaminess, but that was not the crux that made me keep turning the page - it was the story. And the sex? Well, that was just a bonus. Bryan is almost a cameo till the end, but the end...that got to me.

This one left me deliciously wrecked with a vicious book hangover. The story goes from twisted blackmail to heart stomping decimation. The moment you think you know, HM throws her famous curve ball and knocks you on your keister. I have the bruise to prove it (I fell off the couch on the last page).

Proposition 3 is one that will stay with you, I know it will for me. It is gritty and raw, leaving me with that all-consuming gutting pain that only great writing and story-telling will do. I want my HEA but I don't think I'll get it in this story and that my folks, breaks my heart. I died a little with this one. Just thinking about it as I write this, my eyes are filling with tears.

One never knows what's in the amazing brain of HM Ward so she could flip this on me in Prop 4, but for now I'll grab my tissue and dab my eyes while I wait for the next installment. As an optimist, I'm cheering for you Bryan & Hallie!!

**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review**

This is book 3 out of 5 of The Proposition Series.

HM Ward, you like to play with our emotions and this book definitely plays with them. The Proposition 3 did not disappoint at all! This book had my emotions reeling and left me grasping my seat tight with the ending.

Situations arise that cause characters to make tough choices that may forever change their lives and secrets untold may end up in tragedy. Dark pasts are revealed that shocked me completely and made me understand why the characters are they way they are.

Bryan and Hallie are CALIENTE...STEAMING HOT! When those 2 are together, the temperature most definitely rises.

We are also treated to crossover characters that add to the mystery that is Bryan Ferro and why he has the pills around.

Overall, a wonderful read that has me on pins and needles waiting for The Proposition 4.

[Stacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 3rd installment in The Proposition, and we got to see much deeper into Hallie & Bryan's past as well as their future. I can't help but wonder exactly what happened to break up this couple previously. I can't tell who actually caused/initiated the breakup. I loved the glimpses of the other Ferro characters that we got to see, and I absolutely HATE Neil. I have absolutely NO use for the man, and if we could have set him up with Campone I would have been perfectly happy. Neil has a huge stick up his rear! He easily could have stepped up, but instead he chose to show exactly how spineless he is.

Holly can seriously write a sex scene. She's a master at sexual tension and heat, while still showing the emotions the characters are going through. Many books struggle with staying true to the character while engaging in sexy time, but not Holly's! I for one will be on pins and needles waiting impatiently for Proposition 4 to find out what happens next! Awesome book!

[Anita Powers · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Wow this book was great and we learn so much more about Hallie and Maggie. We get a to read some of the things they went through as children, how awful it was and how they have been there for each other all this time. What Hallie did shocked me until I read more of the book then it made more sense but still it had to take alot to do that, the pain she has in her must be so great. I hate Neil, he is so slimy, sneaky, and what a user. I love what Brian does when he visits Hallie at their home, and what does Neil do, he is a loser. I do not want her with him for any reason and I really hope she gets away from him. I do not trust Cecily at all, she is conspiring with Neil but I can't figure it all out yet. I hate what happened to Maggie and how her past as made her feel about herself but she too was willing to take pain to save Hallie just like Hallie did for her. I am so saddened by what happened at the end and hope something is revealed to change the outcome. Once again Holly has done it, another great book in another great series.

[Karen Pierce · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. It is no surprise that I love H M Wards writing style after all I have purchased all her books and read them all. Yes I even purchase them if I get an ARC. That is how much I love her books.

The Proposition 3 doesn't disappoint either. This is the best so far in the series. You get suspense action and yes plenty of hot Ferro ness on Bryan. We even get to see a little of Jon Ferro and Trystan. I mean can we ever get enough of them either. What I didn't expect at all was the way the story with Maggie turns. My heart bleeds for her but hey I'm not telling you have to read it for yourself.

And yes I'm glad you asked there are aome pretty steamy scenes between Hallie and Bryan. But of course in true H M Ward style there is much more to that story as we'll.

Don't worry you won't be disappointed you will be just like me sitting here wondering when will get more. Just waiting. Patiently. Yeah really I mean patiently waiting.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Mmmm, Mmmm were to start. You never fail us Holly with your AMAZING writing skills. I had to wipe away a few tears that got in my vision. You always keep us on the edge of our seats just waiting to see what happens next. I don’t know about other readers but you’re my GO too author when I don’t know what to read next. I just pick one of your books, even if I’ve read it before it doesn’t matter.
Been waiting on Bryan and Hallie to have a steamy HOT AND I mean HOT sweaty sex, geez I couldn’t get enough. Hallie is a tuff girl she is a very good friend to Maggie. I don’t want to spoil my review for other readers that haven’t read the book yet. So when it comes out Go Go Go get your COPY it’s so worth it. Thank you H.M. Ward for the ARC Copy you are the BEST :)

Omg, I started this series a year ago, and never picked his one back up. Actually, it's been in my currently reading section this whole year, because I'm slightly OCD and have to finish something if I started it. So, finally my OCD took over and demanded me finish this, or at least get this one off my currently reading list.

When I first started, I remembered zilch. But I kept pushing myself until I remembered the most part of the story. I'm not even going to lie, un until the last 1/2 of the book I was like, nah I just don't think I can finish this. But I'll be damned if the last 2 chapters didn't drag me back in and leave me needing to know what happens. I'm behind on my reading challenge by 5 books so it'll all work out perfect.

[Teri · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received an ARC from the author for a fair and honest review.

This one wasn't a five star for me based on my feelings experienced through half of the book. I didn't feel like this was a Ferro novel until 3/4 of the way through the book. Brian wasn't even in the first third. After reading the whole book, I get it now. But that still affects my rating.

Hallie putting up with Neil has hit an all time high and it's no longer adding anything to the story for me except just ticking me off.

And I'm seriously worried about Brian!!!!

Book four will be out soon. I really hope some of the mystery surrounding this couple starts to be revealed!!

[Jade · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spoiler alert******



I'm still trying to process this all thoroughly. One what is up with Bryan?! How sick is he and what could it be? Two Hallie is a killer and just hot on with it like it's as easy as putting the washing on!! Three how much of a pussy is Neil?! Bryan walks into HIS house and demands Hallie in THEIR bed and he just let it happen! I think in truthfulness this book needed to be longer and while I love Holly's writing I do wish they were more full length novels rather than a series.

[Stacy Hahn · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Proposition 3 is very intense so get ready!! Hallie is thrown for a loop at the beginning by her jerk boyfriend Neil. We learn just how much she loves her best friend Maggie and the lengths she will go to protect her. Bryan has his hot and sexy way with Hallie again! Bryan bails out Hallie, but she finds out that he is the one in need. Things aren't always what they seem! I loved this book and I am so ready for more!!

Wow The Ferro Boys as Bad as they Can Be...Bryan Is DARK But has a secret and Hallie thinks she can run away from her DEMONS....yet she Keeps Her DEMONS close....H.M.Ward is By Far the Best Writer #1 for a reason She Makes You ACHE FOR MORE.........

OMG Holly has done it again!!! Now another Ferro to be addicted to.

[Lily · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received an ARC of the Proposition 3 an exchange for an honest review.

"Come on Raymond. I plan on using you until you forget who you are." - Bryan Ferro

H.M. Ward has done it again, with every installment she releases from the Proposition series I fall more and more in love with the sexy Bryan Ferro and the determined Hallie Raymond. Like typical H.M. Ward writing the third installment of the series will consume your every moment from start to finish. I finished in one hour because it was that good, every scene flowed perfectly and you see how the story is developing little by little. I am going to try to write this review spoiler free because I believe everyone should read this installment without knowing anything, I'll just write some key moments without giving the whole book away and just keep you excited to finally read this book.

" When does this end,Bryan? Because it will end right?" - Hallie

The Proposition 3 starts literally right where we left off from The Proposition 2 when the douch of Neil decides to propose to Hallie. We sort off get an answer to the proposal. We have a party and we also have a confrontation that results in a murder!!! And ladies we finally get what we have all been waiting for since book 1, Bryan Ferro doing what he does best!!! Bryan finally comes to collect his agreement with Hallie. We get one hell of a sexy hot scorching scene that even puts the great Sean Ferro to shame. Bryan Ferro is hot and I can't wait for everyone to read that particular scene. We get a cameo of Trystan Scott and also Jon Ferro. Hallie also finds out a secret that Bryan has been hiding from the world. We still don't know the details of this particular secret ,but I'm sure we will find out soon enough. I just hope is not as devastating as I think it is. We aren't left with a cliff hanger this time around which is good compared to all the cliff hangers H.M. Ward is famous for ,but we are left with a realization from Hallie, something we all knew was the case ,but Hallie was trying her best not to realize it for herself.

"Neither was I. I'd do anything for you."- Bryan

I give the Proposition 3 .......4 hot steaming scenes because we finally get some Hallie and Bryan action, it was about time!!! We also get secrets revealed from Hallie's past and secrets revealed from Bryan. We also get some action that will determine how Hallie sees herself going forward. Can't wait for the Proposition 4 to come out to see what happens next to these amazing characters.

"I have no secrets." -Hallie , "We both know that's a lie."-Bryan

[Michele Adams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Talk about crazzyyyy.. When we left off in book 2, Neil had proposed and Maggie was missing after hours before the two had fled Maggie's apartment building because Hallie witnessed a murder. I have been checking HM Wards posting daily to find out what happens with Maggie as this story grows on you quickly.

Well you won't be disappointed. I bought the book on lunch at work, rushed home to read it and did not put it down until I was finished. Of course it ends with another mystery/cliffhanger so HM's finger better be typing fast to finish book 4 because I just can't wait the same gap of time as it took this one to come out. :-) I just love her writing and creativity.

As for the storyline, I am happy Hallie is trying to stand on her own two feet except when it comes to Neil. He is worthless and up to no good. Funny what money can do to people. She does not need him, but I think Hallie feels he is the one piece of stability she has. She is opening her eyes that is until what happens with Maggie comes to light. But this is a developing character who I believe will come to her senses.

Then there is Bryan, who is hiding a secret. Still trying to figure out what he could have where you could mix a pain med and alcohol, and not be taken to the hospital because they can not do anything. But Jon has magical pills. A little weird but adds to the mystery. Hopefully these characters will figure things out and some of the other questions will be answered like Jon knowing about the housing project Maggie lives in. hmmm I just ponder at the stories future.

[Christon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky enough to receive an eARC of this book. I don't know how Holly does it, but she has done it again. Ward never ceases to amaze me. Reading a book written by her is always a great experience. Holly knows how to create characters that you will fall in love with and never forget. The stories surrounding their lives are always intriguing. You can't go wrong with any book written by H.M. Ward. And if you haven't began to read The Proposition series, you don't want to miss out. All of the Ferro men are hot, alpha men who are not to be messed with. The women they choose to love, are just as fierce. The Proposition series is Bryan and Hallie's story, and at this point of the story I am desperately wanting more and hoping it doesn't end any time soon. I look forward to waiting on the next installment in Holly's series, it's like catching up with old friends when the books are released. In The Proposition 3, Holly surprised me with events and revelations that I did not see coming. I'm on pins and needles waiting to see what will happen next for Hallie and Bryan. I'm a reader that doesn't like to spoil books for others by giving away too many details. If you're looking for a story that will keeping you on edge and guessing at every turn about what will happen next, then read The Proposition series. As well as The Arrangement series, Damaged, Stripped, The Secret Life of Trystan Scott series, and everything else H.M. Ward!!!!!!!!!!

[Candace Fleming · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an ARC for an honest review so here goes….
I don't get it. I don't understand it. But HM Ward gets me every time. She sucks me in and leaves me wanting for more. I couldn't get enough of Prop 3 and was turning the pages at the end hoping for more. HM Ward is a brilliant story teller and some how has turned serials into an art form.

Prop 3 starts right where Prop 2 left off with Hallie and Maggie dealing with the murder that was witnessed and things taking a huge turn for Hallie. I believe this is pivotal point in Hallie's evolution as a character. It hardens her and strengthens her at the same time. There is no going back from where she has gone and she knows it. What will be the ramifications?

Bryan calls in his proposition and there is some explosive sex scenes between the two. We witness Brian's softer side with Hallie toward the end of the book. We also get a bit more information on Brian's condition and his pill popping. We don't find out much but you realize that there is something truly wrong with Bryan and he isn't even sharing the information with his cousin Jon.

What you leave Part 3 with is a whole lot of anguish for these two characters. Will we finally figure out their backstory? Will they finally be honest with each other? And will their current actions and agendas bring them together or destroy them?

Once again, I am left hanging until Prop 4 comes out next month!

Another 5 star by HM Ward.

[B at Spare Time Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy crap! We get yet again another volume that left me on the edge of my seat and in shock like the entire time! Things for Hallie just keep getting worse. She is trying to deal with Neil, who surprises the hell out of her. I felt bad that she kind of got forced into this situation. Maggie is ever worse off. Things for Hallie take a nasty turn in this one. She is forced to make life and death situations. Murder, adultery, illness, and crazy sex are happening. Hallie's past is not good. Will she survive this? What is she going to do with her life?

I really like Bryan. Even with all the other Ferro stories, the stories are still very unique. The characters are all different. Bryan has a secret and I am chomping at the bit to know what it is!! Hallie is too. I am curious as to what is going to happen with Hallie and her little blackmail business. I think she cares for Bryan more then she cares to admit. They obviously have amazing sexual chemistry. So what's stopping them?!? I'm dying to know. Neil seems like a safe tame little puppy compared to Bryan. So many questions...I NEED answers!!

These books just keep getting better and better. I am so excited for the next one in this series!! Keep em' comin' Holly!

[Gloria Herrera for As You Wish Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hallie's and Bryan's story continues...

This is now the time for Hallie to prove what she is really made of. She does not disappoint. She is in a daze. That idiot Neil has set her up by giving her an engagement ring in such a way she cannot refuse him in front of his friends. In addition, he has gone and set her up with an engagement party at which she must try and keep her cool.

Hallie's decision to find Maggie and protect her brings out the primitive survival feelings she feels to the surface. She is such a strong female character. I love how she protects her friend and nurture her.

This is the middle book of this five part series. Usually, this is where things get kind of boring. NOPE! Not with HM Ward writing this. There is love, laughs, high emotions, death, gripping tension, and OMG a BDSM love scene full of eroticism and FIRE!

I may be silly, but I think Bryan is in love with her... but what is going on with his health and these pills he keeps taking? Well, you will just have to pick up a copy and see for yourselves!

*I received an arc for an honest review*

What an awesome book by an an an awesome author. If you have ever read the Ferro and Friends stories than you know the sensitive nature of their backgrounds. This one is no different, except by the end I was bawling my eyes out. I could not put this story down. I was so caught up in the pages of the story, in the background of Hallie and Maggie, in the heat of passion that was Bryan & Hallie that I just got overwhelmed. Really, there is so much to this story. Neil the asshole boyfriend who doesn't have to hit to be abusive. Maggie, the abused, tortured best friend Hallie committed the ultimate act for. Then Bryan & Hallie... One blackmailing the other, sex so hot you'll be fanning yourself and finally the pieces start to fall in place..If you haven't read the first two books in the series I highly recommend reading them first...


Thanks HM Ward for keeping me up late at night. I love being in a different world.

I received an awesome, phenomenal, hot & steamy, heart-wrenching, captivating, well written ARC of The Proposition 3: The Ferro Family by H.M. Ward.
Proposition 3 begins right where Proposition 2 ended with Hallie dealing with Neil going along with her being blackmailed by hot and sexy Bryan, witnessing a murder, and coming home to Neal presenting her with an engagement ring. When Bryan asks Hallie what she wants in the bedroom, Hallie responds, "Anything. Just get my mind off of everything." Wow! Bryan definitely gets Hallie's mind off of everything with hot, steamy, explosive, oh my, SEX! Hallie asks Bryan if he minds her engagement, he says, "Nah, this is temporary." Hallie's heart sinks a little bit and then she asks Bryan when this will end, he responds, "When I'm through with you."
Read the fantastic, engrossing, fabulous, excellent, captivating characters, well-written, highly recommended, hot and steamy story The Proposition 3 by H.M. Ward.

The Proposition 3 by H.M. Ward -ARC Copy:

If you have read any H.M. Ward books then you know they grip you anyway they can and know matter how bad the train runs off the track You Want More.

Bryan Ferro is one of the Farrow men I love most (next to Peter). Bryan & Hallie have that history thing. You know? The high school love/sex and never forget thing. Yep, thought you would understand ;) Most of all you can't have love, sex and drama with out Bryan & Hallie's group of people. Remember Maggie? Well she is all up in this with her landlord Vic and lets not leave out Neil. Nooo we can't just cut Neil right off the page (wishful thinking) and if Bryan isn't your Farrow man don't sweat it, John kicks up some dirt in The Proposition 3 as well.

H.M. always leaves you wanting more and she has done it once more. Enjoy!

[Holly Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 3 of 5. So you will need to read the first two to know what is going on and follow the story.
This book starts off where we were left in book two.
In this book we revisit the seen of Hallie looking for Maggie. She has to find her. To protect her. No one else will be there for her.
Does she find her in time? Will there be something that gets in her way?
On to Sexy ass Bryan Blackmail Master Ferro. What can you say about this guy? In this book we get a picture of what he may want. But he leaves us asking more questions. Then actual information we find out on him.
Hallie has troubles in this book from start to stop. But she keeps on going.
The cliffhanger is pretty huge. It leaves lots of questions unanswered. But I really enjoyed this book. I am loving where this series is going. I can't wait for the fourth book.

I was given an ARC from the author for an honest review. So I had to take a few days to let my head settle after I read this instalment of the proposition I had so many different thoughts and feelings to process! This book went in a totally different direction to what I was expecting, although now with Holly I've learned to expect the unexpected!! This instalment contains some hot steamy sex, murder, a surprise engagement and a complete and utter twat named Neil!! And hello what the hell is wrong with Jon??? I loved him in his book but he was such a heartless git I've went totally off him!! What the is wrong with Bryan as well? How sick is he and is he going to be ok? So many unanswered questions can't wait for the next instalment!

[Lisa Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Where to begin, well I guess I will start with the fact that I really don't like Neil, he is just too pretentious and is only thinking of himself. I hope Hallie doesn't go through with the engagement because Neil tricked her into it and because she loves Bryan and so do I. I believe if she stays with him he will be okay and they will live happily ever after. What Hallie did for Maggie was the best gift she could give her best friend but will she be able to live with it? Well as always you have left me wanting more, I don't know how you do it. I am looking forward to the next Ferro books. I hope that anyone who reads this review, starts reading the Ferro series, you will not be disappointed. I received an ARC copy for my honest review.

I thought this was a nice middle to the story (this is part 3 of 5). There is tension right from the start with a nice mix of drama throughout as well as some hotness. More about Maggie was learned which I liked. There was some drama at the end with Bryan but nothing was really explained. It was weird and intriguing all at the same time. Hallie seems to be all over the place with her thought process and is kind of frustrating me, I'm curious as to where it will go from there. I do like that characters from other books are a part of the story, I think they are mixed in well. This was a fast read but parts of it felt a bit choppy but overall I enjoyed it.
