house mate_amazonWhat’s sexier than a bad boy? A bad ass man who’s got his shit together.

Max Alexander is nearing thirty-five. He’s built a successful company, and he’s conquered the professional world, but he’s never been lucky in love. Focusing so much time on his business and raising his daughter, adulting has come at the expense of his personal life.

His social skills are shit, his patience is shot, and at times, his temper runs hot.

The last thing he has time for is the recently single, too gorgeous for her own good young woman he hires to take care of his little girl. She’s a distraction he doesn’t need, and besides, there’s no way she’d be interested. But you know what they say about assumptions?

 

This is book 3 in the Roommates series, but each book can be read as a complete standalone as they all feature new couples to fall in love with.

REVIEW BLITZ – THE ROOM MATE (Roommates #1) by Kendall Ryan

 

 

 

RMbanner

 

room-mate_amazonThe last time I saw my best friend’s younger brother, he was a geek wearing braces. But when Cannon shows up to crash in my spare room, I get a swift reality check.

Now twenty-four, he’s broad shouldered and masculine, and so sinfully sexy, I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to enjoy. At six-foot-something with lean muscles hiding under his T-shirt, a deep sexy voice, and full lips that pull into a smirk when he studies me, he’s pure temptation.

Fresh out of a messy breakup, he doesn’t want any entanglements. But I can resist, right?

I’m holding strong until the third night of our new arrangement when we get drunk and he confesses his biggest secret of all: he’s cursed when it comes to sex. Apparently he’s a god in bed, and women instantly fall in love with him.

I’m calling bullshit. In fact, I’m going to prove him wrong, and if I rack up a few much-needed orgasms in the process, all the better.

There’s no way I’m going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start…I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.

There’s no way I’m going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start…I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.

THE ROOM MATE is a full-length standalone romance.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FIVE STARS*****

Having selected my path, I should have felt lighter and at ease after all these long months of uncertainty. Instead, the reality of my situation was hitting hard. I had fallen for someone I couldn’t have, and now I was doing the only thing I could – flee.

teaser7

I’ve read plenty of books written by Kendall Ryan and I think THE ROOM MATE is definitely my top favorite!! I really hope that the next two books can live up to the fabulousness of this first installment! First off, let’s make an homage to the beauty that is the cover of this book!! I mean, HELLO, have you seen a hotter cover?!!! It was one of the main reasons I signed up to promote and review the story! And let me just say the other book covers are not too shabby either!! I really do believe Kendall Ryan has a huge HIT on her hands with this series! This is my second romance with the best friend’s little brother and I have to say I didn’t think I would love this trope but THE ROOM MATE has changed my outlook 100%!! Ladies, I am not exaggerating when I say– Get ready to fall in love with Dr. Cannon Roth!

teaser3

Cannon is in his last year of Medical School and on his way to starting his residency in a specialty of his choice. He has always been driven when it came to his education. He went to Yale on a full academic scholarship and chose medicine as his major because he wants to be able to take care of his mother who worked so hard to raise Cannon and his older sister all on her own. Cannon’s dad abandoned them early on and it’s always left him with the need to care for and protect his mother and sister. It also affected his view of relationships. He doesn’t believe in committed relationships and he isn’t willing to have an emotional entanglement stand in his way of becoming a doctor. The one problem that plagues him is that every woman he takes to bed gets just a tad psychotic when he tries to cut them loose. The last woman he had sex with ended up breaking into his apartment and vandalizing it which resulted in getting him evicted. Now Cannon is homeless but only needs a place to stay for the next two months before he goes off to start his Residency.

Paige is Cannon’s older sister’s BFF from childhood and was the star of all his teenage sexual fantasies. His sister ends up convincing her to let Cannon rent out her spare bedroom in her townhouse. Paige lives a very lonely but peaceful life in her tiny townhouse with her little dog, Enchilada. She’s reluctant at first to let Cannon live with her because she’s used to her privacy and has never roomed with anyone. When Cannon shows up on her doorstep, Paige is stunned by how incredibly gorgeous and masculine he has become. Maybe living with Cannon won’t be such a bad thing after all! The problem is she’s starting to feel insanely attracted to him. It doesn’t help matters when she sees him in all his naked glory the first night he moves in and holy “H” when she walks in on him taking matters into his own hands the next night- it’s no wonder why her lady bits were always on fire!

teaser2

Cannon lets Paige in on his problems with women and how just one night with him makes them turn into love-sick psychotic stalkers. Paige takes this as a challenge and suggests they have sex so that she can prove to him that not every woman falls in love with him afterward.

Although they both know getting involved sexually is a really bad idea neither of them can fight the lust that’s been building up between them! What was only supposed to be a one-time deal turns into the most complicated and possibly the one true thing that neither of them expected.

When there are so many things stacked against these two, will they be able to fight all the odds and take a chance on true love???

THE ROOM MATE releases on January 24th! Don’t miss out on this one!

*****Mel’s Review*****

5 Stars!

21718119-_sy540_

Cannon Roth is a gorgeous 24 yr. old guy who is in his last year of med school at the University of Michigan. He has about two months left, & then he’ll be moving away for his residency. He seems to be cursed when it comes to relationships & dating. Women are constantly throwing themselves at him, & he only attracts the crazy ones. After his last ex trashed his apartment, he’s now homeless and needs to find somewhere to stay. His overprotective sister Allie makes arrangements for him to stay with her best friend Paige.

When Allie calls to ask a favor, Paige can’t say no. Allie is like a sister & she would do anything for her. Paige agrees to let Cannon stay in her spare room. Paige, Allie & Cannon were inseparable growing up, but she hasn’t seen Allie’s nerdy younger brother in at least five years.

 

When Cannon arrives Paige barely recognizes him. He’s all grown up. He’s no longer the geek with braces, but a sinfully delicious man. He’s pure temptation & she doesn’t know how she’s going to manage living under the same roof with him for two months. He’s confident, flirty, & has a dirty mouth that sets her on fire. She hasn’t had sex in over a year, & becomes fascinated with Cannon & his beautiful body. She tries to remember as her best friends brother he’s forbidden & off limits to her, but her body just doesn’t get the memo. She’s can’t help how badly she wants him.

Cannon has sworn off women for a while since his last breakup. He’s decided to be celibate, & just focus on his education & his future. He didn’t need any complications. Now he’s living with the woman he’s lusted over & wanted for over a decade. He’s had fantasies starring Paige ever since he hit puberty. Being this close to her and not having her is pure agony and he’s having to use all the restraint & self-control he has. She makes him want to forget all his new rules.

 

21719735-_sy540_

 

-Now a grown man, I knew the effect I had on women.

-Just standing near him made my heart pick up its pace. My fingertips tingled with the desire to reach out and touch him.

-My best friend’s little brother wasn’t so little anymore. And he’d just marched into my life, turning my girly bits into warm, aroused mush.

-I’d wanted Paige for way too long, and the thought of finally having her made me almost dizzy with anticipation.

 

Being roommates tests the boundaries for both Paige & Cannon. One night they get drunk and Cannon confesses that women usually fall in love with him cause he’s a god in bed. Paige decides to challenge & test his theory and prove it’s false. They finally give in to their strong physical attraction & enjoy each other. Soon Paige is hooked on Cannon, his dirty mouth, and the amazing pleasure he delivers. Will they stay together, or will Cannon finish school and move on?

This was my first book by Kendall Ryan & it was fabulous! This story was so damn hot & I couldn’t put it down. Cannon was so sexy, intelligent, had a body to die for & a heart of gold. Pure book boyfriend perfection!!!

REVIEW TOUR – THE FIX-UP by Kendall Ryan

banner-available-now

 

 

 

 

the-fix-up-kendall-ryanFrom New York Times Bestseller, Kendall Ryan, comes a sexy new standalone novel.

My tempting, and very alpha friend Sterling Quinn is someone I consider off-limits.

It’s not just that we’re friends, he’s also cocky, confident, and British, which means he’s a walking aphrodisiac.

But lately he’s been giving me the look. You know the one. When he thinks I’m not paying attention, and his gaze lingers for too long.

And then we start working together, and that’s when the sexual tension between us gets so thick, I want to hack through it with a machete. I want to make all these deep feelings I’ve harbored for him disappear, because there’s no way this can end well.

The lines between business and pleasure become irrevocably blurred, and I’m stuck between a rock, and Sterling’s very, very hard place.

Rather than keep a level head about our growing attraction, Sterling wants to go all in, showing me just how explosive we can be together.

But I’ve been around long enough to know that this British bad boy is more than my heart can handle. I’m not about to be cast aside like yesterday’s underwear when he’s done having fun.

Sterling’s never been told no, and he’s not about to put his ego aside and play by my rules. But I never thought he’d fight so dirty.

EXCERPT

I twist the doorknob, and finding it unlocked, let myself inside.

Sterling’s place is compact, but modern and classy. It suits him. After a quick glance around the living space, I spot him on the balcony outside, just beyond the glass doors at the far end of the living room. He’s facing away from me, his hands gripping the railing, his head bowed.

My smile from moments ago is gone. Seeing him like this—looking distraught—brings the reality of our situation crashing back.

Sterling suddenly turns and we lock eyes. A thousand emotions are revealed in his eyes, but mostly there’s anger. There’s also a sadness in his gaze that I’ve never seen. It’s haunting.

I swallow a lump in my throat, wondering what’s going on.

“Sterling?” I ask, slowly approaching the balcony.

It’s beautiful—plush pillows and twinkling lights, and a chilled bottle of white wine all nestled together in a romantic picnic for two.

He lets out a heavy sigh and runs one hand through his hair.

“This is beautiful,” I say since he hasn’t spoken, hasn’t even moved from the spot where he’s rooted, and his stony silence is killing me. “Are you okay?”

“Just fine,” he says curtly, his gaze looking past me.

He doesn’t seem fine. He seems off. Why go through all the effort if he’s just going to act sullen and withdrawn?

And what could have possibly changed in the twenty-four hours since we last spoke on the phone? He seemed so excited—like he hadn’t a care in the world. Now it seems he doesn’t want me here.

“If this is a bad time, if tonight doesn’t work . . .” I trail off, my voice suddenly shaky.

“The meal’s already prepared.” He brushes past me, headed toward the kitchen.

Unsure what to do, I follow behind him.

He’s acting like an asshole, and I suddenly feel so stupid for getting all done up tonight. I’m not going to stand around and embarrass myself by begging for his attention.

“You know what? Never mind. This was a bad idea, anyway. I’ll see myself out.” I turn and head for the front door, anger and rejection dueling inside me.

It takes all of three seconds before Sterling’s long strides catch him up to me by the door. His grip around my wrist stops me. “Wait.”

I turn and face him. I’m halfway between wanting to flee and staying to hear his explanation.

He releases a heavy exhale. “I received a phone call just before you arrived.”

With him so near, the combination of his clean soap and his spicy cologne intoxicates me. Memories of our intimate dinner rush back. But apparently tonight is not meant to be a repeat. Waiting to see what he’ll say next, I inhale and hold my breath.

When he doesn’t continue, I ask, “Is everything okay?”

But I’ve been around long enough to know that this British bad boy is more than my heart can handle. I’m not about to be cast aside like yesterday’s underwear when he’s done having fun.

Sterling’s never been told no, and he’s not about to put his ego aside and play by my rules. But I never thought he’d fight so dirty.

“Hey, Camryn. Did I forget something at your office?” he asks.

“No, I just . . . I had some questions for you about tomorrow.”

“Of course. What’s on your mind?”

“Well, when you said hang out, what did you mean?”

Anna’s hand flies over her mouth and her eyes widen.

No sense in beating around the bush.

I can almost hear the smile in Sterling’s voice when he replies. “What do you want it to mean?”

Straightening my shoulders, I sit up taller in my chair. “Oh no, you don’t, mister. Before I agree to spend time with you, there are a few things I need to know.”

“Go for it.”

“How many women have you slept with?”

“Pardon?” Sterling coughs.

Anna is on her feet, making slashing motions across her throat with her hand.

“Your number. What is it?” My tone is calm, controlled. I’m actually enjoying this.

“Is that information you need as my publicist, or as the woman I’ve asked to hang out?”

“Just answer the question, Sterling. Or can you not count that high?”

He lets out a sigh, so brief I barely heard it. For a second, I’m sure he’s going to dodge the question. “Enough to know what I’m doing. Not enough to make me a total fucking wanker.”

I laugh, despite myself. It’s actually a good response.

“Let me make this clear for you. I like you, Camryn. We’re both adults, and there’s no reason why we can’t hang out and enjoy each other’s company without it turning weird.”

What the hell does that mean? I’m more confused now than before. Maybe this is his last hurrah before becoming a married man.

“I’m not quite sure what to say.”

“We have fun together. Let’s keep it casual and fun; we both deserve that.”

The man has a point.

“But you’re about to be married,” I say.

“Not tomorrow. Not the next day.”

“But soon.”

He exhales. “Yes, and that’s kind of stressing me the fuck out, so I could use a little downtime with someone who gets me.”

I swallow.

“Say yes,” he murmurs.

“Sterling . . .”

“I would never hurt you,” he adds softly.

“Fine, but I’m not having sex with you.”

Anna is now lying on the floor of my office, her face scrunched up in agony, her head in her hands.

“We’ll see,” he says.

A girly bubble of laughter escapes my lips, and I clamp a hand over my mouth. I want to bitch-slap myself for that outburst. But Sterling only seems amused.
