The Proposition by Jennifer Lyon
4.0
Full disclosure: I detest cliffhanger series. Lately, and especially since the success of 50SoG, there are too many authors that insist on breaking up one book into a trilogy. I despise reading half of a story that is left open for what is so obviously a money grab. There have been so many substandard books that I have started to read, only to find out that I got part of a story. It immediately makes me feel annoyed and there are stories out there that I simply don't know how it concludes because I refuse to continue with them.
And yet - this is a genuinely good story, good enough that I was happy that I read it anyway. This review covers both books released so far, the Proposition and Possession.
Sloane is a great hero - protective, alpha but his true strength is that he makes Kat stronger by helping her help herself. Kat is a heroine who could have easily been annoying and cowering, waiting for the big strong man to save her. But she doesn't want that, and I really admired her determination to move on from a devastating attack that left her scarred, inside and out.
It is a refreshing take on a very common theme for romances nowadays, and the setup is excellent. In this installment, there is enough character development and the cliffhanger is dramatic without leaving me completely dissatisfied.
The only thing that stopped me from giving this another star is that I truly wish the author had held off and combined all three parts into one amazing story, a book that I would happily pay a decent price for, instead of releasing it in sections.
