A Reverse Harem Romance

Sabrina Colloway was perfectly happy running her father’s business and bailing out the competition. Until one deal changed everything. Caught up in a complicated relationship had never been the plan. Hell, it hadn’t even been on her radar. Not to mention, shacking up with three of the company’s most eligible bachelors is just asking for trouble…especially when they’re brothers. But nothing risked is nothing gained, and Sabrina is about to embark on a whirlwind romance of the ages.

All good things must come to an end…

A woman at the top of the corporate food chain is controversial enough. If Sabrina’s secret romance with the Hargreaves brothers comes out, not only will she damage her glowing reputation with her father, the man she’s looked up to and emulated since childhood, she’ll destroy the very thing he worked his life to achieve. So when rumor has it that she’s been having a little extra fun on the side, Sabrina reaches the only logical conclusion: there’s a snitch in her camp—or three. Will she be able to prove that her newfound lovers are loyal to her, or will she discover that four’s a crowd?

•••••••••

REVIEW: 3.75 stars--INDECENT PROPOSAL by JC Valentine is a contemporary, adult, reverse harem, erotic, romance story line focusing on business executives Sabrina Colloway, and the Hargreaves brothers: Conner, William and Oliver.

Told from third person perspective (Sabrina Colloway) INDECENT PROPOSAL focuses on the merger and new partnership between Colloway Corporation and the struggling Hargreaves Direct, as well as the merger between Sabrina Colloway, and the Hargreaves brothers. A night out with friends finds Sabrina Colloway face to face with her future in the guise of Conner, William and Oliver, three men she considers her subordinates but three men with whom she will fall in love.

As mergers go, Sabrina Colloway believes she has the upper hand in both business and her personal life but Sabrina struggles with the proposal the Hargreaves brothers offer in return-a monogamous relationship with all three brothers, a relationship wherein Sabrina battles between head and heart. But when information comes to light, Sabrina runs, pushing the Hargreaves brothers out of her life. What ensues is the building but struggling relationship between Sabrina, and William, Conner and Oliver, and the fall-out as secrets and lies revealed destroy the growing love Sabrina feels for her men.

The relationship between Sabrina and the Hargreaves brothers is one of immediate attraction but Sabrina is warned, several times, about their reputations with women. Unable to accept the merger as a partnership, Sabrina continues to try and control both the business and personal side of her life. Struggling to trust the men with whom she will fall in love, Sabrina is acutely aware that their unconventional relationship may burn them in the end. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a small ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Sabrina’s best friend Janet; her PA Shawna; her father Jonathan Colloway, and William, Conner and Oliver’s father Charles Hargreaves.

INDECENT PROPOSAL is a story of family, betrayal, business and love. The premise is engaging; the romance is spicy and hot; the characters are flirty but we learn very little about their lives prior to the business merger-I was hoping for a little more background and a richer development of the four main characters.

I'm not a fan of the reverse harem trope, but J.C. Valentine is one of those authors that I just sign up for without reading the description to be honest, and I thought, well, I'll give it a try because I'm a fan of Ms. Valentine's amazing writing style/stories. Sabrina is a bit of a workaholic as she's trying to make daddy proud running his company. She's smart, sassy, and any company would be lucky to have her running things. Enter in three dudes, Conner, Oliver, and William, who become her partners when their company merges with her family's company. The thing is, she has chemistry with all of them, and every one of them know what they want, and that's her. And now we're taken on a journey of super sexy times that light the sheets on fire, and will fog windows up from the steamy goodness. I'm not sure where Sabrina gets her extra energy at, what with dealing with 3 super sexy heroes, but somehow she manages. There's some twists that come out of nowhere, which did have some f-bombs dropping, as frankly I was so immersed in the 3 guys, and who was my favorite that I was a bit blindsided. So that's enough from me, and if you want any more, you'll have to one click this story for yourselves! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've read a few JC Valentine books over time and I've really enjoyed them and Indecent Proposal was a very good reverse harem book with Sabrina running the family business now her father is getting older she believes she is doing a successful job of holding down the fort but when her father brings in some new clients being The Hargreaves brothers and with William, Oliver and Conner all making a bee-line for Sabrina is she prepared to put herself and the business in danger for three very sexy and dominant brothers and can they abide by the terms put towards them or will they crash and burn with sex and lust! 


A very sexy and incredible read I love the guys characters and how different they all are and in my head I'm just thinking you lucky lady, it's a great book if you're looking for a nice hot read.

It feels like forever since I’ve read a book by J.C. Valentine and damn if I haven’t missed her!

The minute I started reading this story I was engrossed so deeply that an entire afternoon went by before I noticed. I was captivated by the romance journey and the business journey. Everything that transpired in this story unfolded perfectly in my opinion. The conflict was well set and executed perfectly. Their romance journey was not only ridiculously hot, but emotionally as well! The best of both worlds!

Strong over 4.5 almost 5 stars!!

Sabrina has a lot of responsibility and not a lot of time for a personal life. Then one day a merger with a father and his three sons change everything. She knew she had instant chemistry with Conner but what she didnt realize that William and Ollie had feelings for her also. Its a complicated thing to juggle inside and outside the work place but they have created a great balance. Though the only thing that could destroy them now is secrets and lies.

I find that multiple partner books can be insanely hot but at the same time, how realistic is a long term relationship going to be? Well this booked lived up to the hotness level I was hoping for, and then some, but i also found the relationships to be genuine enough to get their HEA. But seriously, the hotness!! Turn the AC down and multiple panty changes hotness!! I honestly foresee me re-reading this book even though I rarely re-read titles. Great job J.C.!

I was fortunate enough to get an ARC of this phenomenal book.
Sabrina is a strong independent business woman, running her father's company.
Then comes the merger with the Hargreaves family.
Three gorgeous sexy men, and they have their sights set on Sabrina, all three of them.
There's only one way this could end, or is there? This is a must read.
You won't regret one hot steamy moment.

The first book I ever read by JC Valentine was Dance For Me in her Forbidden series and I absolutely loved this side of her writing. She's a natural when it comes to steamy romance. So, when I found out she was working on a RH story, I got all kinds of excited. Valentine is a pro when it comes to romance with a side of kink and Indecent Proposal is certainly full of hotness.

A failing company, three hungry brothers, a strong heroine that's willing to save them all, well, you see where it's all headed. Sabrina is strong-will and very determined. She's the kind of person anyone would want running their business. But who can say no when Conner, Oliver and William want their chances with her. Does it sound like trouble? Nah! Not at all. Sexy as hell? You betcha!

Valentine took this story to a level of hotness that even I wasn't prepared for. I had to wonder, though, how she was going to pull it off without someone getting hurt or going down. After all, it's business before pleasure, right? If you blush easily, then bring a fan to cool you off because this author didn't hold back at all. This kind of story is what I love most about Valentine and I hope she has plans to write RH again.

Great execution, interesting story line, and steam for days...grab your copy and indulge in the sexiness.

Decadently sexy office romance. Sabrina has an intense focus in her work as she fights hard to prove herself in a male dominated business world. Her father has finally stepped aside to allow her to run their company. The latest acquisition she negotiated has brought the Hargreaves brothers into her organization, Conner, Oliver and William. These men test Sabrina's patience as she finds herself fantasizing about them when she is used to be focusing on work. The more she interacts with them, the more she wants to fulfill her fantasies but she never expects that they want the same thing. Conner, Oliver and William compliment each other and have found that they prefer sharing a woman. Meeting Sabrina seems to put the perfect woman for all 3 of them within their reach but can they convince her that she should take a chance on them? There is a great balance of work drama and intrigue along with the incredible sexual connection between the four. Or will the pressure to maintain the perfect persona win out? I enjoyed Sabrina's inner struggle to follow her heart versus her head as she explored her sexual fantasies.

I really wanted to like this one more than I did. It’s told in third person POV and it was hard for me to connect with Sabrina. In the first half of the book I found myself swiping pages without reading because they were filled with more of Sabrina’s thoughts. I was a little surprised by that. You have four people in a relationship but there isn’t much dialogue. I thought the characters should have had more interaction. I also felt that more of the sex should have been scenes instead of just after thoughts in Sabrina’s head. There are two sex scenes that stand out to me in the whole book. Were those two scenes hot? Absolutely. There isn’t much in the way of character development for Connor, William or Oliver. I can’t even tell you which one is the oldest. Only that they are brothers and have different personalities. I can tell you that the four of them together compliment each and they get their HEA.

These are just my opinions, take them with a grain of salt. This isn’t my first book by this author and won’t be last. This just wasn’t the book for me.

I have read most if not all of JC books and this one is by far one of my favorite. This book was also nothing like any of the other books.

Yes it still pulled at my heart and kept me on the edge of my seat because of the actions of the characters.

Sabrina is running the family business and also is out numbered because it is a mans world. She is not afraid to set anyone straight that believes that she should be where she is.

The Hargreaves bothers, Conner, William and Oliver. What can I say about this three...they each know what they want and that is Sabrina. Even though this is the case each of these guys have qualities that make them stand out and also makes them special.

Will these four be able to overcome the thoughts of others? Will they be able to overcome the other obstacles that present themselves?

I love, love this author and when I noticed she was writing my second favorite troupe I was all in!! Sabrina is a take no prisoners kind of business woman and she has been groomed to take over her father’s company when he retired. The merger with the Hargreaves family hasn’t been going quite as Sabrina excepted it to. The three Hargreaves brothers have their sights set on Sabrina, all three of them. The chemistry between all of them is off the charts hot!! There are some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and kept me glued to my kindle. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!!

This is my first read by this author. I have been reading RH a lot recently and the blurb intrigued me.

The story is a blend of instant attraction, taboo office romance and RH all in one. I enjoyed Sabrina’s inner turmoil when deciding to take the plunge into a relationship with Connor, Oliver and William. The story was entertaining however rushed. I wanted a little more chase and tension. The twist and turn towards the end blew me away. I usually can see a twist coming and that one blindsided me.

The intimates scenes were hot however there are a few times that I was pulled out of the scene by the author writing an inner dialogue that seemed odd.

What a read! This may be a story that veers a little off the norm but it is done so well I couldn't devour it quick enough. The characters each have a distinct quality that meshes so well with the others. There's a perfect amount of intense moments, pure heat and emotion that has the story flowing. I enjoyed getting to know Sabrina and the brothers, Conner, William and Oliver and walking the path with them. I really enjoyed the roller coaster ride I was taken on.

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

~~~~~~~~~~Julie's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Loved this read. Sabrina is busy working and that is her life. She wants to make her dad proud. When Conner, Oliver and William become her partners, things go hay wire. These three men know what they want and nothing will stop them. The storyline has some twist and turns that will glue you to each page. Excellent writing!!! 😀😀

Hm.... very mixed feelings.... I liked the heroine and I loved the three brothers! Yep, this could have been a really good book, but for me it just wasn't. I really missed the POV of the brothers. Now it was 'te veel gelul in de ruimte' and too little dialogue. Somehow it was boooring. I actually didn't even finish it till 'the end'; stopped @ 75%. Sabrina's story could not keep me entertained any longer. Bummer...

I liked the intense emotional aspects of the storyline but the characters are a little underdeveloped.
It's complicated but has you flying through the pages for more.
Sabrina, Connor, William and Oliver really blend the relationship without making it awkward.
It's not one of my favorites from JC but it's a good story.

This is my first Valentine book and absolutely, will not be my last. Quick read, with plenty of steamy sexiness! We had some character build, but more would have deepened my interest. This book, for me, was a guilty pleasure read. Can't wait to check out more by this author!

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Sabrina Colloway, Conner, William, and Oliver Hargreaves. Sabrina knows she has to work harder and has no time to play if she truly wants to take over the company that has been in her family for generations. So when her monday morning starts out bad and goes down hill from there she doesn't have high expectations for the Hargreaves meeting. So she does what she is taught and takes charge. She has always been wary of men and when Charles Hargreaves put in to the take over contract that they hire his three sons she has her alarms up. Conner, William, and Oliver aren't just looking for any woman they are looking for the woman. The one woman who can put and wants to be with all of them and not just for a night. They think they have found that in Sabrina. When they all begin to work together it seems like magic. Will they all find their HEA or are their people with other agenda's that will make sure that never happens?

This is an amazing story by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about (so so much I want to tell you). However I do not want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. You will not be able to put it down until you reach those two words and even then you will be like wow. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Another great book from JC Valentine. I love the direction the she took.

Sabrina was sort of this tight lace hard working woman. She always felt like she was having to fight to be respected and be taken serious. She truly needed someone in her life that could help balance her and help her loosen up.

I loved Conner, William, and Oliver. Let me tell you Sabrina getting with these three has to be everyone woman’s dream. Conner was more business level headed and on the serious side. Here I looked at William as one that tried to keep things light. Oliver was more quiet and thoughtful. These don’t only balance out each other but help give Sabrina what she needs.

I love the chemistry these four had. I also loved how patient and understanding that Conner, William, and Oliver was.

This had sever hot and steamy parts and so happy I got to read this book.

Sabrina Colloway is now running her father’s business and doing a great job.

Sabrina ends up bailing out the competition. The Hargreave brothers, Connor, William and Oliver, all 3 of them end up propositioning Sabrina that they all take a romp in the hay together. While Sabrina knows that this could damage her reputation and her company’s reputation if it should ever get out about her and the 3 brothers. She thought she could have a little fun and what ensues is HAWT!

FYI, this is strictly a male/female story. While they may be having sex all at the same time the men do not have sex with each other.

I enjoyed this tale and all the ridiculously hot and bothersome romps in the hay!
