Editoral Review
In The Proposition, Jennifer Lyon delivers a compelling and steamy contemporary romance novel that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. Known for her engaging writing style and captivating characters, Lyon does not disappoint with this book, first published on February 22, 2013.
Set in California, the story follows the forbidden romance of Kat Morgan and Ryker Evans. Kat is recently divorced and desperately trying to keep her life together while taking care of her son, when she is offered a proposition by Ryker, a wealthy and powerful businessman: one month of no-strings-attached physical intimacy in exchange for the money she needs to care for her son.
Despite her reservations, Kat decides to accept the offer, quickly realizing that her feelings for Ryker are deeper than she initially expected. One of the strengths of the book is the way Lyon intricately weaves together themes of family, trust, and passion, while also exploring complex social issues such as class and power dynamics.
Through her vivid descriptions of the California setting and dynamic characterization, Lyon succeeds in creating a world that the reader can fully immerse themselves in. However, The Proposition does not come without its weaknesses.
While Lyons writing is engaging and attention-grabbing for the most part, there are moments in the book where the pacing drags, causing the storyline to lose some of its steam. Additionally, some readers may find the power dynamic between Kat and Ryker to be uncomfortable or problematic, especially with the inclusion of Kats financial struggles.
Overall, The Proposition is an enjoyable and salacious read that will suit readers looking for a steamy romance novel with some emotional depth. Compared to other books in the genre, Lyons writing stands out for her skillful and heartfelt character development, even if the pacing can sometimes be off.
For those looking to escape into a tantalizing love story, The Proposition may be just the ticket. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
