I found the plot to be a little bit obvious. I wish there was a bigger plot twist. But I loved the banter and the charactera

Not my favorite Katee Robert book, but the spice is there and the storyline is decent. I like the new cover. story is suspenseful and sexy. I don't ordinarily love mafia romances, but I do love Katee's writing and she brought it with this installment of the O'Malley series. Cillian and Olivia have decent chemistry and their story Arcs were entertaining.

Originally published as An Indecent Proposal, Twisted Secrets is the third book in the O’Malley brothers series. While this book can be read as a stand alone, I don’t recommend it because there is a story line that continues from the previous books so you may miss out on some minor details.

In this book, we are focusing on Cillian. He is still dealing with his guilt from past events and meets Olivia at a local bar - she works there - and is attracted to her. Olivia is a single mom with a past and she does have time for a relationship, especially one with a hot guy that is in the mafia…been there, done that.

This book was a good time just like the first two in the series I’ve read so far. I plan on reading the remaining three in the series becuase I know Katee will continue to provide me a good time with these stories.

I recommend this for readers that enjoy:

🖤 mafia romance
🖤 enemies to lovers
🖤 opposites attract
🖤 open door romance

💚💜 Twisted Secrets ARC Review 💜💚

Thank you so much to Katee Robert and netGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!!

Twisted Secrets is a mafia romance and book three in the O’Malley series. Olivia doesn’t want to be pulled back into Boston’s mafia world. She’s worked hard to be independent, without relying on her family’s money. But when she has a one night stand with Cillian, a member of the infamous O’Malley mafia family, she realizes she might be in over her head.

This was such a fun read!! I loved Cillian and Olivia together - they were both strong characters who just became stronger together! This is such a great mafia series and this book is a great addition!! The story was engaging and I loved all the cross overs from the previous books!

Overall this was a solid four star read for me! I really enjoyed this story and found myself wishing it was longer! This book had some great spice throughout so overall four flames for spice!

If you’re a fan of mafia romance with strong women, protective men, and forbidden romance vibes, then absolutely pick this one up! Though this can technically be read as a standalone, there is an interconnected storyline between all the books in this series and you’ll get the most benefit if it’s read in order.

Please Note: review will be posted on Amazon upon publication

Yet another captivating by the amazing Katee Robert. Katee always managed to write stories that are captivating and enthralling with characters that are addicting and plots that are exciting and intense.

I never fail to love every book I read by Katee, and this book is no exception. This series has been set up so well throughout each book. We get books for specific characters, however the dynamic of the family and what we learn gets carried through each book which I adore.

I'm not always a fan of mafia romances, it has to be done a certain way for me to truly enjoy myself while reading. And Katee (no surprise) does manage to make it such a fun reading experience and write characters that I just love so much.

Can Katee Robert do anything wrong?
The short answer is no.

3rd installment in the OMalleys and will worth every second I spent reading this!

Cillian has my heart! Single mom meets mafia consent king. Suspenseful and sexy as hell. Super quick and easy read. I’m a huge fan of Katee Robert’s work and am excited to check out the rest of this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

It was great to see Cillian's growth and this one had been hinted at. Definitely a fun and exciting read as the big bad is looooming

Steam: 3.5

Katee Roberts books always hit that spot. She is my go to for a spicy HEA with plenty of turmoil to go around. I honestly can’t get enough of her work and I typically preorder her books as soon as they are announced. Twisted Secrets was probably my favorite of the O’Malley series so far! Olivia and Cillian have the kind of chemistry that had me panting from the beginning and writhing for more. I LOVED that Olivia had a child from a previous relationship and appreciate Katee so much for representing such a variety of relationships. Cillians growth was amazing, but not unbelievable. His genuine care for Hadley and willingness to step up for Olivia FOR Hadley rather than in spite of her was beautiful. I’m really enjoying this series and I can’t wait for Aiden to get his turn!

Twisted Secrets is a captivating and fast-paced read that delves into a world of deception and treachery. This gritty tale explores themes of heartbreak, family, grief, and the pursuit of justice. Moreover, it delves into the complexities of falling in love and the struggle to let go of one's past. The imaginative and intoxicating premise sets the stage for a riveting journey. The characters are portrayed with passion and intensity, making them truly come alive on the pages. Their forbidden romance adds an element of tension and dynamism to the story, further captivating my attention.

I love the world that Katee Robert has created with this series. I’ve read mafia romance before, but the way her characters are so complex brings an extra layer to it all. Cillian’s history with his brother and family was intricate and so interesting to read. My expectations of what kind of character he would be were exceeded. I also loved the strength and fight in Olivia. She felt very real, which can sometimes be a challenge with these stories. I’m excited for read more!

Katee is fast becoming a one-click author for me, and this revamped series is another homerun. For anyone who loves sexy mafia romance, this is ABSOLUTELY a must-read.

I wonder how many times I can say this without it getting weird, Katee Robert is the OG smut queen and I would do horrific things to get my hands on anything she puts her name on.

Previously published as Indecent Proposal in 2016, Twisted Secrets is the romance story of Cillian O'Malley and Olivia Rashida. Hot, steamy, sexy, all the things you come to expect from a Katee Robert novel. I like this series more than her others, though, because once the characters get involved, that's it. Monogamy is nice sometimes. :)

Okay. The SPICE!!

I didn't know that this was the third book in a series, but it didn't really matter. I'm so glad I was given a chance to read this book because I WILL be going back to read 1 & 2.

I've read a couple Katee Robert's books before and I've never been disappointed. This is another one I can add to my list of spicy book recommendations.

Twisted Secrets is explosive from the start! If you love a hot alley scene then you'll want to check this one out!

If you've read this series- you know this series is focused on the O'Malley siblings. And this book focuses on Cillian's story. Once the care free, fun loving sibling... the tragedy of his brother's death has been weighing on him. He's changed his old habits, including the booze and women. But bartender Olivia has caught his eye. And despite her not giving him the time of day, eventually the chemistry ignites into more than they can deny.

This story brings the heat from the very start. But I felt like that was mostly all it brought. I loved the characters, the storyline too! There were great moments of swoon, suspense and action that kept me turning the pages. But it felt quite surface level. I felt there could have been more depth to the story. I didn't feel their connection outside it being a physical one. And Hadley seemed way older than her stated age, which bugged me.

But what I really enjoy about these books are how they interconnect by having multiple POV's. So you get a sneak peek into the other siblings, and their stories to come. I am invested in this families story, and really excited for Sloane's story next. Even though this one wasn't quite perfect for me, it might be for you. I will definitely be continuing this series regardless!

What You'll Find:
--Steamy Romance
--Irish Mob
--Frenemies to Lovers
--Just A Fling
--Single Parent
--New To Town
--Third Person, Multiple POV

3.5 Stars

Thank you to Forever Publishing for the complimentary ARC via NetGalley. All opinions are my own and given freely.

I have to admit this book was SPICY! I didn't realize it was the third book in a series and that I will probably go out and read the other two now. I've read other Katee Robert's books and am NEVER disappointed. The storyline and character development have me wanting more. Thanks for allowing me to read this re-release of this amazing story.

Give me all the spice!!!!! The execution of plot and character development was done beautifully. Captivating you in to the story from start to finish!!

This series is amazing, and I love Katee Robert. This story follows Olivia and Cillian, who start a no-strings attached agreement (we always know how that ends up) and inevitably fall for each other. The chemistry was amazing, and I’m so excited to read the next in the series!

Oh when am I not in love when I finish reading Robert’ book? It is a dark, action-packed, passionate tale that kept me on my toes trough and through. Loved how it was packed with a good punch of spice!!
