Description

A tabloid scandal unites a powerful mogul and a woman from the wrong side of the tracks in this tantalizing novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Bound Beneath His Pain and the Club Sin series.

Spoiler alert! The following reveals crucial plot points from Restrained Under His Duty.

The multimillionaire owner of a chain of successful Irish pubs, Gabe O’Keefe loves being in the spotlight almost as much as he loves women. But when all his secrets are exposed in a shameless tabloid, his glistening reputation takes a hit. What hurts most is learning who sold him out: sweet and sensual McKenna Archer, his own employee. Gabe thought he could trust her. But now he’s got bigger problems than keeping his hands off McKenna.

After putting a difficult past behind her, McKenna would never betray Gabe. But she knows someone who would: her brother, a compulsive gambler who owes money all over town. To make things right, McKenna will have to set aside her feelings for her boss. Easier said than done. Gabe oozes pure temptation. But when they team up, McKenna sees that he isn’t the manwhore she always thought. He’s strong. He’s real. And the heat between them is the only thing that makes sense anymore.

    I have always loved Gabe, but after the way he started out his book, I am not sure if that love will last. Will he redeem himself??? McKenna has had a hard life, but she has a big heart and sometimes that lands her in trouble. She has loved Gabe for a long time and she knows that he has feelings for her too, but he won't cross that line because she is his employee. Just when McKenna thinks that Gabe has finally given in to his feelings, he accuses her of something that she doesn't know anything about. Again, McKenna is devastated. 1) Because Gabe don't trust and believe in her and 2) she thinks that she has now lost somebody else that she cared about. Gabe knows that he has totally screwed up with McKenna and doesn't know how he will ever get over what he did or how he will ever get McKenna to forgive him. He broke her heart. It will take something major to make them see past their hurdles, but sometimes love is worth the pain. I love, love this series and these characters and hate that this series is ending.

    **Received ARC from NetGalley for a fair and honest review** Cuffed by His Charm is the 4th book in the Dirty Little Secrets series. Gabe has lusted after McKenna for the last year. If only she wasn't his employee... but Gabe has a rule about no dating employees. McKenna's had a rough life, alcoholic abusive mother, and younger brother with issues that she's always needed to care for. She's lusted after Gabe, but knows he will not date/mess with employees... From the start this book grabs you and doesn't let go. I couldn't put this book down! This book is an emotional rollercoaster! There is so much craziness that happens in this book, and was so good I would read it again! I really enjoyed the characters, I've always liked Gabe's character from the other series and couldn't wait for this book, and it definitely did not disappoint. He is definitely a dominant/alpha male, but it isn't overboard. McKenna is a strong woman, she's got her demons that she fights and at times almost too strong, but she does lean on Gabe. They have great chemistry and if you like hot and steamy this book will not disappoint. I also really enjoy being able to catch up with the other characters from the previous books and she doesn't just end the book and leave you hanging which really frustrates me when that happens... but she gives you that HEA. I was also pleasantly surprised to see some other characters from another series of her books! I'm really hoping that Ryder's left hand Alex gets her own story!! I really want to see her story!!! Hope this helps!! Happy Reading!!!

    Well written with well crafted and likable characters, this was a story that kept me wanting more. I thoroughly enjoyed that this was written in dual POV. Getting a much better picture through both of these main characters. It was also great to be able to catch up with previous characters in this series. But although you might have a greater understanding, this can be read as a stand-alone story. Gabe and McKenna attraction has been building for the last year, since McKenna became his employee. Gabe has been drawn to this clever, witty, beautiful, women that is strong as well as soft, who has made his days brighter, just knowing he would see her. But after having his personal life as well as the personal lives of his friends, leaked to a gossip magazine, he is faced with a harsh reality when his friend’s security firm is positive the mole is his heart, McKenna. The one woman he was willing to break his one rule - don’t date an employee. But when Gabe confronts McKenna his actions shatter all that they had built. When McKenna denies that she had anything to do with the betrayal, Gabe takes her to Ryder, so he can show her they have the proof it was her. Only to be blindsided by new information. These two have a lot to overcome, in the form of danger, blackmail, and some twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The push and pull between them is sizzling. With some deliciously, sensual, scenes that are highly erotic. Will McKenna be able to forgive Gabe for his actions? Will these two find a HEA? You will have to read to find out. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

    Exciting conclusion to a great series! Stacey Kennedy is a favorite of mine. Her plot lines are always well thought out with twists and turns and her characters both believable and likable. Gabe and McKenna are a perfect example of the strong men and women she creates. While their feelings had been growing it wasn't until this book their romantic relationship took off. Equal parts lust and love I was so happy to see them get their HEA. The story arc that continued through this series was very satisfactorily concluded in this story. While this book read as a stand alone, I've gotten the other 3 books to read as Gabe's 3 friends, Micah, Darius and Ryder were such interesting characters I wanted to read their stories. I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley.

  • Starts out with a bang!

    I’ve been looking forward to Gabe’s book. Out of all the guys in the series, he’s intrigued me the most and it started with a bang! Literally. The author wasted no time in the beginning and gave us a really hot angry sex scene. Talk about starting at 100 mph! Even though I liked Gabe the most, I think we needed a bit more grovel from him for McKennas sake. I did like these two together. We’ve been teased by their attraction in the previous books so I was ready for their story. This was a great series that I can’t help but think we might get another one for Alex? She’s such an intriguing side character and I want to see the man that will snatch her right up. ARC provided by NetGalley.
