1/2  Romantic Times

 

"Ally Blake's The Magnate's Indecent Proposal (4.5) starts with an amusing premise and quickly moves into an entertaining love-at-first-sight tale. It's full of humor, witty dialogue, a hero to die for and a heroine that's his match in every way. "

 

 

CataRomance

 

"Flirty and totally funny The Magnates Indecent Proposal  will leave readers smiling and thoroughly entertained by its characters. Ms. Blake has penned an extraordinary story."

 

 

Heidi Rice, Romance Author

 

"Absolutely loved it. Phone sex, restaurant sex, dog shampoos and a really hot hero. What's not to like, right."

 

 

Joanne, Reader

 

"I just finished The Magnate's Indecent Proposal and I loved it! yep, it was great!! Loved the sizzling story line; the heat between the H&H almost burned up the pages."

 

 

Timna, Reader

 

"I read your latest book in one sitting how addicted am I?"

 

 

Monique, Reader

 

"I just finished reading "The Magnate's Indecent Proposal" and I thought it was fantastic! I have to say it was the funniest romance novel I have ever read - and I've read quite a few over the years!
 If you add such warmth and humour to all your books, I can only imagine they'd be just as good as the one I just read.
Thanks again for a great read!"

 

 

Cindy, Reader

"I read TMIP last week and my word!!! It was definitely wicked and certain things that happened were 'indecent' in the nicest possible way!! I vacillated between being very amused and very 'entertained'. Fantastic read and I think it embodied perfectly the essence of a Sensation!!! I wondered if Caleb might have his own book, I was not paying enough attention to your blog before, so I am very pleased that he is!!"

 

 

Melissa, Reader

"I just finished reading The Magnates Indecent Proposal and enjoyed it so much that I just had to find your website and write you a note. Congratulations and thanks for writing such a great book that really showcased Melbourne! I loved reading about Chelseas home in Flinders Lane and could just picture it! I imagined Damien working in Collins St and drinking in the bars hidden in laneways off Little Bourke St. I also loved that it was a bit different from many other stories Ive read the first half of the book being all about them just getting to dinner with each other kept me turning pages, dying to see what happened next."

 

 

Rhonda, reader

 

"I came across your book The Magnate's Indecent Proposal on the Harlequin web site this week and decided to purchase it as an ebook.   You had my attention from beginning to end and I must say I've read it at least three times.  You can feel the instant attraction of these two people leaping off the page and it was great.  Thank you for making a cynic want to read a romance novel again."

 

 

Ann, reader

 

"Your characters are wonderful and I loved both Chelsea and
Damien.  If only my mobile phone could have a mix up like this!"

 

 

Shana, reader

 

"I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I absolutely loved The Magnates Indecent Proposal. I am an avid romance book reader...  But I've never enjoyed one as much as I have this one. Not only did I smile but sometimes laughed out loud.  Don't get me wrong I love all romance books but yours was for lack of a better description perfect. Thanks so much for the great read."

MARCH 2012

 

 

eBook  ~ Collection in Paperback


spacer

After her third nuisance call of the morning, Chelsea finally twigged.  She must have accidentally swapped mobile phones with someone in the cafe that morning!  And she knew her life well enough to know how this would play out: she would trek back into town, swap phones with some middle-aged man with a paunch and be on her way.

Okay, she was wrong!  The guy was darkly handsome and seriously sexy: Damien 'Rich-list' Halliburton, way out of her league.  She'd sworn off men long ago, and hadn't since been tempted.  But with a guy this gorgeous how could she refuse his wicked, seductive and very indecent proposal?


And don't forget to check out Damien's best friend Caleb's story in

A NIGHT WITH THE SOCIETY PLAYBOY!

Picture yourself in a movie theatre, a museum, or an intimate restaurant.  Youre settled in for relaxing escapist time away from the hustle and bustle of real life, when another patrons mobile phone starts blaring out an obnoxious synthesized version of the latest number one rap song.  Relaxing?  Hardly.

Out of this very personal vexation of mine grew Damien Halliburton.  Damien is a man born into privilege, who has come to depend upon his creature comforts.  Therefore I figured he, like me, would be driven mad by such gauche intrusions into his pleasure time.  So when he discovers a new Melbourne restaurant in which mobile phones must be checked at the door, he believes hes found his own personal Mecca.

Ahhh, but what he doesnt know is that at this restaurant he will also find Chelsea London; a plucky but not altogether put together pet groomer who is far too busy keeping her head above water to indulge in pleasure time.  Oh, and her mobile phone is her life.

Can you even imagine the fun I had throwing these two complete opposites into the kind of situation they couldnt get through without one another?  Scads and scads of it, I promise you.

spacer I hope you enjoy their ensuing roller coaster ride through the bright lights and funky back streets of Melbourne as much as I did!
