THE PROPOSITION is the first book in Jennifer Lyon's new series The Plus-One Chronicles and I'm already hooked!
After a brutal mugging and vicious attack 6 years ago, Kat Thayne suffers from panic attacks and is scared to trust anyone. Scarred on the inside and out, Kats passion goes into her baking at the Sugar Dancer bakery she owns. She comes from a rich and prestigious background but wants no part of it anymore. Kat's mom and her ex fiance, David are bringing a blockbuster Alzheimer's drug to market--its in the final stages of FDA approval and her parents and David have a very close relationship. Closer than Kat is to her own parents. They don't consider Kat smart enough to be a part of what they are working on but they want her working for their pharmaceutical company. Her parents can't understand why she is wasting her chemistry degree and time in a bakery when she could be working for them. It also doesn't help that they take the side and word of David over hers.
Kat has been having flashbacks of the attack and she knows something is off. The way her fiancé told the story of what happened during the mugging varies from the memories she's been having and he just blows her off by telling her she's just confused from the concussion and memory loss when she tries to get answers. He has her parents believing the same thing so there is no one Kat can trust or confide in. She's tired of being scared and not knowing the truth about what happened.
Sloane Michaels has everything. He's a powerful businessman, a UFC fighter, has lots of money, super good looks, a hot body and he's worked his butt off to get where he is today but he's still not content. He came from a home where his mother jumped from man to man looking for her prince charming to come in and swoop her off her feet but that never happened and Sloane and his sister were left fending for themselves. When his sister is brutally murdered, Sloane's whole life changes. He is taken off the streets by a man that becomes his mentor and helps him focus his rage and hatred into something productive. That's how Sloane started the UFC fighting. It was an outlet for his anger and aggression. Now, the man that murdered his sister is getting out of jail. Sloane has been waiting and training for over a decade for this day to come. Now he can extract the ultimate revenge. He's got it all planned out and nothing or no one will get in his way.
Sloane attends a party and sees Kat hiding in a corner of the room. He knows he's seen her before somewhere, so he approaches her but she does not remember him and leaves to get away from his attentions before she has a panic attack. While Kat is leaving she is attacked in the parking lot and Sloane is there to kick ass and save the girl. And that's when he remembers who she is. He met her when he was 18 years old working as a bus boy at the place Kat's family was throwing her a Sweet 16 party. Sloane HATED Kat back then. She had everything; doting parents, money, a pampered little princess that had everything while he had nothing. He can tell that Kat is not the same person she was back then and he is intrigued by her from the moment he sees her again.
After Sloane saves Kat he pursues her and makes her a proposition. He will train her how to fight and defend herself if she becomes his plus-one; attend galas, parties and events with him as his date. Oh yeah, and have hot & steamy sex with him! Kat is tired of being scared and not having a normal life. She hates the scars on her body and is self conscious about them but she decides it's time to change and take control back of her life.
Sloane and Kat's chemistry is off the charts! You can feel their intense attraction and their time together will leave you sweating. Their stories are both heartbreaking, inspirational and believable. You can't help but love both characters.
Jennifer Lyon has given us another incredible story with characters that will stay with you after you put the book down. You feel Sloane & Kat's happiness, sadness, pain, passion and determination as you read their story and that is the product of great writing. There hasn't been a book yet that Jennifer Lyon has written that I have not loved and I cannot wait to find out more about Kat & Sloane. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes a sexy contemporary romance! I can't wait for May 28 to get here so I can get my hands on POSSESSION, the second book in The Plus One Chronicles.
I give THE PROPOSITION 5 out of 5 skulls
Overall Rating: 5 stars- Screw sleep! I’ll let the kids watch TV and eat hot dogs tomorrow.
Now, Megan didn’t love them as much as I did. She didn’t like the heroine’s weakness. I call that POPPYCOCK! Yes, Kat does start out meek and mousy, but the point of the trilogy is for her to find her strength – both inner and outer. I very much enjoyed her growth through the trilogy.
I’m going to press pause on our characters for a minute and come back to Sloane. (mmm… Sloane…) Let’s talk about the plot and writing. Victim of a crime with PTSD, former MMA fighter made good. Doesn’t sound ground-breaking, I know. But I loved the tale of redemption here. And the way that Jennifer Lyon weaves the passion with very flawed characters just gripped me intensely. I don’t just mean the smut (which is delicious!) but just the passion between the characters. Yes, they start out not planning to love each other, but neither of them fight it and I found that refreshing as well.
Okay, now onto Sloane. (If only I could be onSloane…) If I could build the perfect man, he would look and act like Sloan Michaels. Yes, he’s rich and handsome – it’s romance. But it’s not that. I *LOVE* the way he treats Kat. He wants to protect her but not coddle her. He wants to build her up and watch her soar. I LOVE that. I love a great caveman moment where a great hero beats the crap of a bad guy, but if the heroine wants to do the butt-kicking herself? I want him to enjoy the show, give her a high five and then take her home for a celebratory romp. And that is why I love Sloane.
The Plus One Chronicles felt like the epitome of the ending of Pretty Woman to me. After he rescues her, what does she do? She rescues him right back. I LOVED IT.
Smut Factor: 5 stars- Had to wake my husband at 2am to quench my “need.”
Character likability: 5 stars- He’s my book boyfriend and I want to BE her.
Storytelling: 5 stars- I wake up thinking this really happened.
Writing and editing quality: 5 stars – Excellent!
Top reviews from other countries

The book was recommended by a friend and i was so glad she did.
The emotion wrote into this book was breathtaking.
Kat had been through what she was forced to believe a 'Mugging'. suffering from injuries from the brutal attack along with the panic attack she suffers Kat finds her self in the same position, saved by an MMA fighter and businessmen- who she finds herself attracted too- finds her self been offered a proposition that could change her future.
Friends made, devious X's, Blind family and a hot, strong male perusing her.
Its a three part series and the novel only gets better as the book leads on.
Nothing boring can be said towards this book,
My heart warmed towards Kat and the events she has pulled herself through.
i shed tears, the book really is heart moving with a touch of action, love, lust, attraction, friendship, loss and betrayal. It holds everything

But despite the length I loved this, what a great read. Fab writing from an author that I'd not heard of and gripped me throughout. The connection between Sloane & Kat was hot. I loved that they both wanted a plus 1 relationship with no strings attached, when clearly they had serious sparks between them.
Kat was a victim but she wasn't weak. I loved her determination. Sloane was a cool alpha!
Lots of action, storyline was believeable and I'm sure they'll be even more action as the story unfolds in possession, which I'm looking forward to.
Steam was a 3.5/5 and I'll definitely be recommending as well as reading more from this author.

There are all elements within the story to keep me hooked...only downside was it was too short, and split into 3 publications... subsequent #2 out next wk..

***************
Good start to this series. I'm glad all three books have been released before I started this (this is a cliffhanger, and not a standalone). I'm getting bored waiting for books to follow, and then forgetting most of the previous book(s) by the time the new one's released.
I'm going to read all three, then leave a full review after the third one.
Reading order of The Plus One Chronicles:

2. Possession
3. Obsession
