Title: Indecent Proposal (Boys of Bishop, #4)
Author: Molly O'Keefe
Release Date: September 2014
Synopsis:
Perfect for readers of Susan Mallery and Rachel Gibson, Molly O’Keefe’s gritty and sensual tale of passion and politics features the brother of the heroine from the author’s beloved novel, Never Been Kissed. He’s a driven man who refuses to be distracted—until he meets a beautiful bartender who just may change his life.
With his chiseled jaw and his thick blond hair, Harrison Montgomery was born to lead. Four generations of Montgomery men have served the state of Georgia and now he’s next in line. Harrison, though, is driven to right wrongs: namely to clean up the political mess left by his father’s greed and corruption. But Harrison must first win his congressional bid, and nothing can get in his way—not even an angel who served him whiskey and gave him a shoulder to lean on and a body to love for a night. Problem is, she’s pregnant. Scandal is brewing and there is only one solution: marriage.
Damage control? Ryan Kaminski can’t believe that a cold, calculating political animal now inhabits the body of the emotionally vulnerable stranger who’d given her the most unforgettable night of her life. Really, she doesn’t want anything from Harrison, except to be left alone to have her baby in peace. But Ryan is broke, jobless, and essentially blackmailed by Harrison’s desperate family to accept this crazy marriage deal. For two years, she will have to act the role of caring, supportive wife. But what is Ryan supposed to do when she realizes that, deep in her heart, she’s falling in love.

Review by: Fidah
Indecent Proposal is the fourth book in the Boys of Bishop series. I've not read the other previous books in the series as each book is a companion novel and can be read as a standalone. Naturally, if you're intending to read the whole series then you should read it in order.
This book follows Ryan Kaminski and Harrison Montgomery where they had a one-night stand in the beginning of the book. This incident led to more complications when Ryan finds out she's pregnant. It also results in making Harry's situation difficult because he is a politician. However, the characters soon find themselves in a marriage deal.
Arranged marriages or marriages based on a contract has been the focus of so many years. Hence, it has to stand out from the others to really grab your attention. I found this book to be a little lacking. The storyline is good but it wasn't able to keep me interested for a long period.
Other than that, I wasn't able to connect with the characters. I don't hate them. They were quite likeable characters. For instance, I appreciated Ryan for her bravery and courage by standing up for herself among people who tried to crush her. She didn't back away but instead, stood against the opposing force. However, I was unable to feel for the characters.
Despite that I've said, it was still a pretty decent book but I've found it to be quite lacking in certain parts. There isn't any problem with the writing but I expected myself to love the book. I would still recommend you to read it if you're already interested in the plot.
