Hitched by Kendall Ryan Excerpt & Review

Series: Imperfect Love #1
Blurb:
Marry the girl I’ve had a crush on my whole life? Check.
Inherit a hundred-billion-dollar company? Check.
Produce an heir… Wait, what?
I have ninety days to knock up my brand-new fake wife. There’s only one problem—she hates my guts.
And in the fine print of the contract? The requirement that we produce an heir.
She can’t stand to be in the same room with me. Says she’ll never be in my bed.
But I’ve never backed down from a challenge and I’m not about to start now.
Mark my words—I’ll have her begging for me, and it won’t take ninety days.

On the heels of her smash hit and New York Times bestselling SCREWED series, Kendall Ryan brings you HITCHED, a romantic comedy that delivers heart and heat. A NYC playboy turned business mogul has ninety days to win over the woman he's always desired in order to save his father's company. One tiny problem: She hates his guts.

EXCERPT:
"That’s the whole point of doing this trial period—to see how well we can play ball together before committing to a team-up. I’m doing my best to become friends with you, so . . .” 
He tilts his head with a half smile. “Just friends? I’ve got my sights set a little higher.” 
Gee, I never would have guessed, what with his constant attempts to steer the conversation toward sex. 
I quirk one eyebrow in skepticism. “Friendship is all we need to pull this thing off. And we’re pretty much starting from square one . . . I would call us acquaintances, at best. Don’t you think you’re being a little overambitious?” 
“Nope,” he replies, cocky smile still firmly in place. 
I roll my eyes. “Wow. Your arrogance truly has no limits.” 
“If I can put my money where my mouth is . . .” His lustful smirk makes it clear exactly where he’d like to put his mouth. “Then it’s not arrogance. Just confidence.” 
“What makes you think I would want more with you, anyway? You aren’t exactly my type.” 
I expect him to just give me a knowing look, or maybe toss back some mild innuendo. What I absolutely did not expect was, “Because I have a nine-inch cock.” 
I almost choke on my martini for a third time. I splutter, “Is that number supposed to impress me?”  
I give him a skeptical look. “You want to show me your dick?” 
“If it’ll help convince you.” He drains the last drops of his Scotch and stands up. “Come on, let’s go.” 
I stare after him as he walks away. 
Is he serious? He’s just going to whip it out? I look around to see if anyone is watching me, then I get up and follow him to the bar’s back hallway, near the restrooms, unable to comprehend why the hell I’m humoring him. This is ridiculous. 
Once we’re safely in a private corner, Noah undoes his belt, opens his fly . . . and pulls out a fucking fire hose.
Holy mother of God. My hands fly to my mouth. I want to gasp in shock, but there’s no way I’m giving him the upper hand. 
He was right. His cock is nothing short of massive, and it’s not even fully erect right now. Nine inches may actually be a conservative estimate of what it might look like hard. He must destroy men’s egos every time he walks into a locker room. And I don’t even want to think about what he destroys with women . . . 
“Meh. I’ve seen bigger,” I force out, fighting to maintain my composure.
Noah chuckles. “I don’t think so, sweetheart.” 
“Well, th-that monster is not coming anywhere near my uterus. No, thank you. I prefer to keep my organs intact.” 
Noah’s grin widens. “I doubt that, but just to be on the safe side, I’ll ease it in nice and slow. Piece of cake. Plus, you’ve got good health insurance, right?” 
“That is not funny, Noah. Now, put that thing away or I’ll remove it.” 
I try to sound stern, but my shaking voice and bright red cheeks surely give me away. Why the hell can’t I stop staring? 
He chuckles—yeah, the jerk can definitely see right through me—but he obliges, tucking the beast back into its lair.


My Review:
I loved it! It was fun to read! The perfect reading for the summer. I couldn't put it down! 
Noah is the perfect bookboyfriend. He is a cocky, hot playboy. His father died earlier, and he became one of the Tate&Cane Enterprises CEO. The other CEO is planning to retire. There's a contract (accurately the two CEO's will) that wants to keep the company in the Tate and Cane familes' hands, so they want their children, Noah and Olivia to get married. They want to work together as co-CEO, but their fathers wanted to see them as a couple, as a married couple.
Noah has a perfect life. He works a lot, but has everything, a lot of money, good car, good apartment, and a lots of women, a lots of sex. But now, he has to concentrate on the company. The board wants to sell it, but Noah wants to lead the company with Olivia, and if he has to marry her he will marry her. Anyway he wanted to have Olivia a long time ago. She is clever and sexy.
Noah is a good guy. He cares about the workers, and doesn't want to lose the company, and he doesn't want these people to lose their jobs.
"But for me, it's about more than just money. Olivia and I grew up together, our parents always envisoned us ending up together. I always knew she'd be somewhere in my future, even if it was just working side by side, with her busting my balls every chance she got. It was something I looked forward to."~Noah
Olivia on the other hand doesn't want to hear about the marriage. She wanted a big wedding, with the perfect fiancé, who was in love with her. But now their fathers ruined it for her.She works a lot, and doesn't have a private life. Before she says yes to the marriage, she wants to see if she can live with Noah, if they can become friends. She is trying to be rational in this situation.
"The $100 billion question here is: How well would we work together? Can we even get along? Will our partnership be stableand productive? Or will it implode ... taking Tate&Cane down with us?"~Olivia
She wants to save the company. So they start a trial, start to live together. 
I loved the Olivia-Noah scenes. I was laughing out loud a lot of times. This book is so funny!!!
"Well, th-that monster is not coming anywhere near my uterus. No, thank you. I prefer to keep my organs intact" Noah's grin widens. "I doubt that, but just to be on the safe side, I'll ease it in nice and slow. Piece of cake. Plus, you've got good health insurance, right?"
"Why do you call me Snowflake?" (...) "Because you're just like a snowflake. Beautiful and unique, and with one touch you'll be wet."
Noah wants to woo Olivia. He starts to use his charm, starts to flirt with her. He wants Olivia, not just because of the contract and company. He wanted her for a long time ago. And secretly Olivia wants him too. They have chemistry, they are attracted to each other.
"What I really hate may be the fact that his charm works on me too, whether I like it or not. No matter how hard I try, I've never been able to completely bury my huge crush on him."~Olivia 
 "I've fantasized about Olivia for the last twenty years. She's the girl I squirted with the water hose when I was  young, the woman who gave me butterflies in my stomach when I was older."~Noah
 So I loved this story, and I want the second book now!!! I love Noah, and I'm happy that Olivia is a strong character too, she is not a young naive girl/woman, she is smart CEO too. Noah and Olivia fit together. I want to read more about them! I want them together! If you want to read a hot, sexy romantic comedy you should buy this book!


"Charming, swoony and playful, Kendall Ryan's Hitched left me salivating for more. More Noah, more Olivia, more of this series which already has my heart all aflutter, my smile perma-pinned to my face, and my mind aching for answers." -- Give Me Books
