If this is your first encounter with the couple you probably won't end up with the best impression of Aidan but trust me he will really grow on you in The Proposition, he is much sweeter than you'd think after reading this! Although I do think you could read this first if you want to get an idea of Katie Ashley's writing style I think I enjoyed it more because I'm already invested in the characters. Visit Katie Ashley's website for more informationĪlthough The Party is technically a prequel to The Proposition I took the advice of other reviewers and read it after the rest of the series which I think was probably for the best. Neither Aidan nor Emma could imagine what fate had in store for them at the party. But at her best friend and work colleague, Casey’s, insistence, she decides to make an appearance at the company Christmas party for her new boss’s sake.

Convincing her slightly inebriated best-friend, Connor, to be her sperm donor was a lot easier than she thought, and all that’s left now is to start the process. After throwing the annual life celebration (for the anniversary of her fiancée’s death) with close friends, she’s finally gotten the courage to take matters into her own hands and become a mother. The last thing Emma Harrison wants is to attend another party-least of all one at work.

There he knows he can knock back a few stiff drinks and find some new no-strings-attached girl to take home for the night. Escaping the wrath of his father and sisters, he wants nothing more than to get to the company Christmas party. But after standing up as godfather for his great-nephew, Mason, that’s just what he gets at the Christening Party. Coming off a break-up with his latest “friend with benefits”, the last thing Aidan Fitzgerald needs is a family hassle about his bachelor status.
