MOI copy

There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 
1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 
2) She must get married ASAP, and 
3) She knows how to knit.

Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.

Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.

Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent—or as trustworthy—as she thought?

Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Gah! Dan the Security Man is THE MAN!! I adored this book! 

So, we've seen a lot of Kat and Dan in the other books. They've been skirting around each other for a while and we've all been gaga for their story, especially after revelations in the last book, Dating-ish.

"He was dangerous. His sexiness was a hazard. To my soul. I required distance."

Kat is hiding in plain sight. She's thrown off the mantle of wealth and tries to live a normal life. She's quiet and enjoys the friendship of the women in her knitting group. The only thing that ruffles her present life is the Dan the Security Man. Two years after an encounter in Vegas, she hasn't been able to move past her crush on him. However, he seems to have no interest in knowing her or pursuing a relationship with her. 

"I swear, this woman. My heart was beating a million miles a minute. She clearly had no idea the kind of power she had over me."

Dan has always liked Kat. He wasn't deterred by the fact that she's an heiress to a multi-billion dollar legacy. Whenever he saw her, he got this pleasantly unpleasant feeling in his chest. However, he was severely disappointed by Kat's love life preferences. So, after Vegas, he went on to pursue a relationship with a different woman, in spite of his lingering attraction and fascination with his Kit-Kat.

"A marriage of convenience to the man of my dreams? That sounded like a nightmare."

When Kat's situation forces her into marrying for convenience, Dan is the obvious choice. However, when truths about Vegas and their feelings start to reveal themselves, the dynamic of their relationship starts to change.

This was such a wonderful addition to the KiTC set. Dan and Kat had chemistry in spades. Dan is deliciously dirty-minded and foul-mouthed. I loved his fantasies about Kat! He was really quite adorable in his alpha tendencies towards her - so protective and thoughtful. Kat was sweet and kind, but pretty tough under her quiet façade. She was so insecure about her worth that my heart really felt for her. I loved how clueless she was about her effect on Dan. LOL

The whole series has been amazing and the author absolutely delivered a fabulous finale to this series! This book was a smart and super sexy, slow burn romance, and I loved seeing the KiTC gang one last time, and witnessing their love, loyalty and solidarity for each other.


Excerpt:


Staring at his chin, because I couldn’t quite lift my eyes any higher, I cleared my throat. “Should we get ready for bed?”

“Sure,” he said, his voice a rumble. Dan’s eyes were on me, I felt the weight of them.

My hands came to the hem of my skirt and I hesitated, feeling winded for some reason. Sneaking a glance at him, I immediately wished I hadn’t. His gaze was watchful, but it was also unmistakably hot in a way that seemed at once both avaricious and accusatory. The vice tightened around my lungs.

Kiss him! Just freaking kiss him! You want numbered steps? Fine. You kiss him- check. He kisses you back- check. Then you make out- check. Check the boxes.

I licked my lips, balling my hands into fists at my sides again, preparing to follow my hasty list.

But then he said, “Undress me.”

My breath caught. On instinct, my eyes lifted and collided with his in much the same way our bodies had collided at the top of the stairs just moments ago. Jarring. Startling. Thrilling. This time I couldn’t look away because this time I was falling. He made no move to catch me.

“What? What did you say?”

His eyes narrowed, which served only to increase the intensity of his gaze from smolder to inferno. “Take my clothes off.”

I stared at him, licking my lips again, and shaking my head. That wasn’t one of my steps.

Lifting my chin, I moved to kiss him. He leaned to the side, evading me even as his eyes dropped to my mouth.

“Take off my shirt and I’ll give you a kiss.” He’d used his naughty-secret voice.

An explosion of heat erupted in my belly, and now I was hot all over. I couldn’t figure out if the heat was embarrassment or arousal or both.

He didn’t give me a chance to figure it out. His hands lifted and he undid his cuffs; then they moved to the top button of his shirt.

“You better take over,” he said darkly, “or else you’re not getting that kiss.”
