Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel.
After a year of hard work, Wyatt’s launched a wildly successful club in the heart of Dublin, and is now happy to reap the rewards—especially when it comes to his no-nonsense accountant, Fiona, whose quick wit and luscious curves make him want to ignore the fact that he’s her boss. But when a group of thugs squeezes him for money and take what he’s worked so hard for, Wyatt knows there’s no way he’s going down without a fight.
Fiona’s always played it safe—with her clients’ money, and most especially, with her heart. Yet as Wyatt turns up the charm, she can’t help but give in to the feelings she’s been trying to deny—and it seems as if there might be something more between them than just mind-blowing sex. But when her good-for-nothing ex, Niall, shows up at her door, she soon realizes that he’s the one railroading Wyatt for money, and Niall’s now threatening her family if she doesn’t give him access to the club accounts.
Backed into a corner, Fiona’s forced to play a game for the highest stakes imaginable. But can she find a solution before it's too late or will she ruin her chance at happiness and true love?

Cali MacKay is a NY Times and USA Today bestselling author. She lives in New England with her husband, two girls and their crazy mutt. When not tapping away on her laptop and getting her characters into trouble, she can be found designing book covers for other authors, wrangling her girls, and splicing DNA. She's also a decent potter, adventurous cook, and a horrible gardener.
Loved this story. Thankfully there was just enough drama to keep it really interesting. It was intriguing and suspenseful. The characters were so well-written and described. The storyline was addictive. Can't wait for the last book in this series.
This is the third book in the Billionaire's Temptation series and can be read as a standalone. I truly enjoyed this book and enjoyed the dynamic between the characters.
I have to ask, what is it that this author has about the alpha male also being the boss/employer of these women. To me, that just screams a whole set of issues that most of us try to avoid. Just for self-respect issue, avoids work entanglements is just a good practice and it was one of the biggest detractions I had with one of Mackay’s other books. This one isn’t quite as aggressive of situations with Fiona and Wyatt, although, I can’t say that that really claimed my nerves about the unequal work relationship that was involved.
Wyatt the youngest of the three brother has been living in Dublin. He’s been working to open a night club “Scandal” that caters to alternative sexual behaviors, a more BDSM style, although claims to not be hard core, more common fetishes by Wyatt’s description. Unfortunately, he has run into some problem with the local “thugs” looking to make a quick buck by offering their “protection” which really just means if he doesn’t pay them, they will threaten and intimidate employees and patrons alike to destroy his business.
Fiona is a local girl that comes from the wrong side of town that has made good of her life to become an accountant for Scandal. She finds herself very attracted to her boss, Wyatt but has sworn off men completely thanks to her ex. She’s been trying to stay out of Wyatt’s cross hairs as mixing business and pleasure especially with her boss is like playing with fire.
Wyatt finally convinces Fiona to give them a chance and as the story continues you discover that Fiona’s ex and the local thug that’s making Wyatt’s life hell are the same person. Enjoy this story, it’s edgy and it’s dangerous. Can Fiona get her past out of her present? Can Wyatt learn to trust after the betrayal?
Fabulously written. Oozing with drama, angst and passion. Hilarious twists and oh hell no turns. I love a strong female and Fiona is my favorite. The characters in this book jumps out from page 1 and takes you on exciting journey. On to the final installment.
SCANDAL AND SURRENDER from New York Times Best Selling Author Cali MacKay Reviewed by: Candace Fox
I you love a great love story, this one is for you. It has the usual problematic issues as most of our favorite reads like, Misunderstanding, Stubbornness, Sexiness, and of course a pushing, tall, handsome Alpha. The hero was likable and humorous, while still being possessive and protective all at the same time. I loved the Heroine because she was no push over, she was sarcastic, pushy, stubborn and funny. (Love when she calls him "Boyo", cracks me up.)
As a huge fan of series story this one did not disappoint, it can be read as a stand alone or a part of the series. Can not wait for Paige's story in Temptation and Surrender, and it already available for pre-order.
This book receives 5 Candy Heart
Highly recommended to anyone who love a great contemporary romance.
First of all that ending, quite a cliffhanger! Can't wait to see what Paige has going on. The banter between Wyatt and Fiona had you on the edge, not knowing if or when they would give into it. I liked the spunky, sassy way Fie mouthed off to Wyatt. And his panty melting words! Alpha , Wow. The biggest problem came in the form of betrayal, by omission but it was still betrayal. Can any relationship survive when there isn't trust, especially one as new as theirs. Along with blackmail, secrets, lies and love. What comes out the winner.
A wonderfully, sexy, suspense. I have never read a bad book by MacKay. Her characters are always larger than life. They are well developed and easy to love. The world of BDSM is well portrayed. The sex scenes are enough to make anyone squirm. In a good way. But there is much more to the story. It has a great plot and keeps you guessing to the end. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Ok I got a glimpse of this sexy hunk, in books 1 & 2. Loved him on the spot. To see this man fall in love with his accountant 4 months prior to pursuing her was so Damn hot! This was so much fun to read. Reading how they finally gave in to their attractions. It was awesome. I would definitely recommend this book to read!
Wyatt opened a sex club in Dublin. Fiona is his very sexy and beautiful accountant. That's all your getting from me. Cali's books always make my blood pressure go up and I have to blush, this book was no exception. Any fan of Cali's will love this book, also. Congratulations Cali
OMG I loved this book, this is Wyatt and Fiona's story. I loved Fiona from the start, she had me rolling around laughing with her feistiness and quick comebacks
