Screwed

It was a cute, sassy, hot, equally funny read. Hayden surely is well endowed and knows how to use his parts. And Emery is just what he needs, as Hayden is exactly what she needs.

While she's got her nose to the grind focusing on work, she's building a new life at the same time. The girl has her plate full. And Hayden, he's in the friend zone. Can they keep him there seems to be the issue.

Kendall has written a book that made me laugh and giggle, yet at the same time made me want to go hump a pillow. Dear lord was this hot. I love the way that Kendall writes.

I absolutely love everything that Kendall Ryan writes. Screwed is a funny, sexy light hearted read. It had me hooked from the very first page. I loved the connection betweeen Hayden and Emery. The storyline was very well written and the characters were well developed. I really love that these two went from friends to lovers and had to work at a relationship. It was a nice change from the insta love stories I have been reading lately. This is a definite must read book!!

I loved Kendall Ryan's Filthy Beautiful Lies series, but this just didn't do it for me. Hayden has been warned by his partner and friend that he needs to stop sleeping with their tenants. To prove everybody wrong, when he meets Emery, he vows to prove he can be "just friend" with her. I did like their relationship and ease with one another but I thought the ending was rushed and the epilogue was a let down. I really expected more especially since this is a standalone.

This book was fun and flirty. I really enjoyed Emery and Hayden. Even though your "Spidey-senses" tingle telling you to beware of Hayden, you just can't help but fall in love with him. I can't wait to read more by Kendall Ryan.

I received a copy of this book as part of a book club. My review is my honest opinion. I loved it.

Such a fun romantic comedy book!!! It was a fantastic story that turns into a friends to lovers story. As much at Hayden and Emery try to deny there attraction to each other, it seemed to bring them closer together. The banter between these two had me peeing in my pants!!! Hayden inner dialogue while talking to his "member" cracked me up! Such an enjoyable story line! Everything flowed together really nicely!

There were a few things that I found to be predictable, but at the same time still I found it enjoyable. This is a pretty quick read. It's a great book to read over an afternoon. It is fast paced and get's right to the point. I am really looking forward to reading Hudson's story next!

I purchased this book because I enjoyed the other books I'd purchased by Kendall Ryan. This particular one started off a bit unpolished but as the story went on it got real good. Like really good. I was reeled in. Sucked in. Then it happened! I ended up having to stop and walk away. I was shocked! I was caught up in this story. It made me extremely angry. I waited a few hours and started reading again. I am so glad I did. I ended up loving it. She got me!

I loved this book! Kendall Ryan knocks it out of the park with her leap into the rom-com genre.

Single and successful, Hayden is your typical manwhore. Emery is fresh out of law school and focused on her career. Their paths cross when Emery moves into the building Hayden owns with his bestfriend Hudson and the sparks fly. Problem is, Emery has sworn off men and Hayden has drawn the line at women that live in his building. Can they be friends?
This book is the perfect combination of sexy and sweet and it's off the charts funny. The story flowed well from the first page with just enough drama to keep it interesting. Hayden's bestfriend Hudson is a great addition to the story and I am really hoping that he has a book coming next.

What was Hayden thinking when he decided to befriend his new tenant? He wanted to prove a point to his business partner/bestfriend and sisters that he could be friends with a women and not sleep with her. Awwww hell who is he trying to kid! He wants her in the worst way!! He is soooo SCREWED!!!

I received a ARC from the author for an honest review. I love Kendall's books she always delivers a great storyline. I loved the characters in this story, the banter between Hayden and Emery, and that she writes in the POV of the characters. The only issue I had was it felt a little rushed at times, like parts of the story were skipped over.

Screwed has to be one of the most entertaining books I’ve read this year. The banter between Emery and Hayden is absolutely hilarious. I could not put this book down. For such a quick read, Screwed wasn’t rushed and it was developed really well. The chemistry and sexual tension between Hayden and Emery was palpable. I really enjoyed their story and I can’t wait to read book 2!

Kendall Ryan did it again!!! She as usual created a sexy, funny story that always craves for more. Her sex scenes are hot & sexy as hell. I loved the reality of it. The true moments that have occurred between couples, which I hardly read about. It was great & I love Kendall more because of that!! Recommend ??

This was definitely a different type of book for Kendall Ryan and she did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed it just as much as her other books. It was lighthearted, flirty, sexy and pretty humorous. I had lots of laugh out loud moments while reading it. I highly recommend this book and author. I'd like to see more of this type of book from Kendall. I received an ARC for an honest review of this book.

Too many descriptives, too wordy. A story should flow and this one kept stalling. The writing was very basic and once I saw the word sucktastic used in the first chapter...it summed it all up for me-very unoriginal story, characters and no character development.

I normally only review when I have good things to say, but I want to help save your time; so skip this one and move on to the next book on your list. The writing is terrible and often has the feeling that the author is trying too hard to be raunchy/edgy romance. I've read enough to be able to sniff out the crap.

1. Hayden reads like a complete douche - he's unbearable.
2. C**t is a foul insult, not a proper word for trying to write hot lines about male fantasies of a lady that I am trying to imagine is myself.
3.Chapter 6: "Maybe I’m the only intern because the other ones gnawed off their legs to get away." You know that does make any logical sense, right? If you gnawed your legs off, you couldn't successfully get away, and there was no mention of chains around said legs, so why would they need to be gnawed off? Or maybe I just got too nit-pickey bro chapter 6 because the previous 5 chapters were that bad.

I adore ALL things Kendall Ryan. Her books make me happy and always leave me feeling content. I'm never unsatisfied. It's like comfort food. I come back again and again and again because I trust her to satisfy me every single time. And this was NO different. I went into Screwed expecting awesome and that's exactly what I got.

Screwed is a friends to lovers story. It's sweet and lightly sprinkled with angst, but more heavy on the funny. It's a romantic comedy that will have you giggling and blushing. It's got every "feel" you'd want in a novel. I especially loved this one because of the slow building romance. Sure there was an instant spark and attraction between the characters, but Hayden and Emery fell slowly. It had a sensual and sexy vibe that grew over time and you really got to see their relationship develop.

Hayden is the definition of a manwhore. He nails chicks left and right with zero shame. He's cocky yet so darn lovable. You can't help but want to eat him up. I swear, I could have licked him like an ice-cream cone. He was delicious and decadent. And the funny thing is he knows it. He knows he has what woman want and he's more than happy to spread the love.

Hayden runs a business with his best friend Hudson. And Hudson has had all he can take with Hayden's philandering ways. He wants it to stop. The woman Hayden has hooked up with are causing chaos within the business. The day Hayden meets Emery, is the same day Hudson says ENOUGH! He lays down the law, telling Hayden he cannot sleep with anymore of their tenants (they run apartment complexes).

Hayden is not pleased but he wants to prove Hudson wrong.
He wants to prove he can be friends with a girl. <<--- LMFAO!

Anyway... Slowly he forms a friendship with Emery (who is his new tenant. **snickers**)

Emery's moved to town for a job at a law firm. Coming off several bad break ups, she's done with men altogether. So her attraction to Hayden is unwanted. She's happy to have a new friend but is not interested in anything more than that.

Slowly, these two form a bond and the journey is freaking perfect. I LOVED them together. They were laugh out loud funny at times. They both said and thought things that not only made me swoon and shiver, but also giggle.

Hayden has swagger.
And Emery has a fiery spirit that I ADORE in a female heroine.

I was a melty morsel of happiness at the end of this read.
I loved it. I loved every word. Every sentence.

Without a doubt, this is a FEEL GOOD read. It's meant to lift you up and give you a laugh. It's meant to give you a total escape from day to day life. I cannot wait for another book from this author. She is a FAVE of mine. I could read her words ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. I highly recommend Screwed and I cannot wait for you to meet Hayden and Emery.

ARC received by author in exchange for.a honest review.

SCREWED is a standalone romantic comedy.
This is Hayden Oliver and Emery Winters story.

Hayden is a playboy. He lives at the apartment complex he and his best friend/business partner own, and he is well known for screwing the majority of the female residents, then pissing them off, which then complaints are made to his business partner regularly. Per Hayden's business partner, his c*ck is confined to stay in his pants. Once the deal is made, he meets the beautiful brunette who has just moved in, who is here for an internship at a local law office. She is very attracted to him, but she was already warned by a female resident of his ways, plus she knows men like him, so she knows to stay clear from any type of sexual interaction. Hayden knows he has to have her, but he knows he can't have her, so he decides to try being friends with her. Is it possible for a guy and a girl to just be friends? Or is Hayden SCREWED?

This story was full of humor, lots of blushing and laughter. There was also love, secrets, and heartbreak.

I loved this book! I could not put it down, it held my interest from page one.
SCREWED is a must read!

Hayden and Emery are about as different as chalk and cheese. Hayden's goal regarding women is to have as many as possible as often as possible.
Emery on the other hand has sworn off men completely.
Bring these two together and it makes for an interesting combination.

This book is well written and funny. The two main characters both have a sense of humour and are quick witted.
Both characters not only develope and change over the course of the story, they grow up.
Although Hayden initially comes across as a jerk, by the end of the book I couldn't help but like him. He has many endearing qualities that most women want in a man I.e a 9 inch cock and he knows where the G spot is...
What I liked about Emery is that although she is young she is intelligent and knows what she wants out of life, in her job and in a man. She stands up for herself and is extremely capable of standing on her own two feet.

If you like books that are fast paced, has great sex scenes, not too much angst and a guaranteed HEA then this book is definitely worth checking out!

This is a relatively short yet fast paced read from Kendall Ryan.

Hayden is your typical 'player' who thinks with his manhood and he lives for his one nighters. He is rich, drives a nice car and doesn't struggle for female attention.

Emery is new to L.A she is a law graduate, studying for the bar and interning at a firm in town she is breaking free from her old life and a cheating ex.

When Hayden and Emery first meet the sparks fly but as the building owner Hayden has promised his partner that he won't bang the tenants anymore and Emery has been warned about Hayden from a previous conquest.

This is a story of a mutual attraction that develops into a firm friendship that could never stay that way....the book is written well and you could feel the desperation that both felt for each other with some male cockiness from Hayden to bring a smile every now and again.

I loved the cheekiness and innuendo that was written into the characters. The story has a serious edge also, which blended into the story excellently. If you want a sweet yet sexy, lighthearted read then this ticks all the boxes.

I've been seeing Kendall Ryan books in my recommendations for months but just wasn't convinced to buy them. Then the bundle of Screwed and Monster Prick popped up for $3 and I couldn't pass it up. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. I read an absolute ton of contemporary romance, much of it through Kindle Unlimited, and these aren't even close to fleshed out books. Screwed at least makes an attempt since we see Hayden and Emery interact outside of the bedroom. The build-up of their friendship is pretty cute but then the conflict between them and immediate resolution is rushed through. i really felt like the book had potential with another 100 pages or so. And then Monster Prick is essentially just three sex scenes. There's no foundation, no emotion, no substance. I like both Hudson and Gracie so I wanted to see this play out but there's the plot setup, sex then love. It's a brief and unsatisfying read. This really wasn't what I expected.

Received an ARC from the author for an honest review. This is a fun, sexy, romantic comedy. Emery is a strong female. She's had enough of douchebags. Hayden is a manwhore who owns condo buildings with his friend. He likes to dip into the building instead of going out to bars and picking up women. But Hayden has been burned and has his reasons for not wanting any sort of relationship.

His friend Hudson has had enough of the complains from the women that live in the condo. Hayden has used them and left them. Hudson has made it clear he can't sample anyone else in the condo. Hayden sees Emory and immediately wants her.

They become friend who have chemistry. I love the chemistry between Hayden and Emory. I like the easy flowing friendship between them. They want each other but they can also talk to each other and listen to one another.

This is an easy, fun read. I recommend it.

After finishing a book that made me ugly cry like nobody's business, I needed something fun and fast paced. I got that and more with this book. Hayden and his nine incher rocked my socks! Emery was adorbs, ambitious, and funny. Ample amount of giggles, yummy love scenes, inappropriate sexual innuendos, which are always my fave, and an adorable love story. This was my first book by Kendall Ryan, and I loved it so much I preordered the next book in this series. I can't wait to read more of Hudson. Fun, sexy, fast paced, adorable, and definitely well written.

~3.5 Stars~ Another fab read from Kendall Ryan. If you are looking for a funny, sexy HOT read you'll want Screwed on your TBR!

I have been a huge fan of Kendall Ryan’s work since her first release. Her writing always has great flow and her stories always have great characters. Not to mention… They are always smokin’ H.O.T.! Screwed was another great read from Ms. Ryan.

Screwed was a fun, sexy romance. A quick read packed full of delicious sexual tension. Hayden is a sexy man-whore you won’t be able to resist and Emery… Hayden has met his match in Emery. She’s had her share of bad relationships—she isn’t ready for another one—but a friendship should be alright, right?!?!

If you're looking for something sexy and light, with fun-loving characters, Screwed is just what you are looking for. A fabulous quick read to make you smile.

I really enjoyed reading the two stories in the book. Screwed is the main story and the author did a good job developing the characters and letting us see how they feel. Emery had the right amount of strength and caring to make her a really like able person. Hayden comes across as a player with a Heart. As the story build you will love him even more. I recommend getting this book.

As a bonus, you get a short novella, Monster Prick.

This was a very entertaining, funny, warm, and hot love story. I loved the slow build up and all of the emotion and the characters were great! I can't wait till read the spin-off "Monster Prick" about Hayden's best friend, Hudson, and Hayden's little sister, Gracie. I think it's going to be awesome. If you love contemporary romance books with a little heat and a great HEA, then "Screwed" is for you.

What happens when your best friend and business partner lays down the law? How do you stop your man whoring ways?
This is the problem Hayden faced . Never one to be denied a one night stand Hayden soon learns that becoming friends with a woman may just rock his world in ways never before.
I loved the characters. Emery was brilliant and funny every bit Hayden equal.
The chemistry was scorching between these two

Fair read. Nothing special unfortanely , wasn't a bad read ,it just wasn't great. It's a story that you have read a hundred times over.Manwhore meets a girl that makes him want more, they play chase and catch , he panics after sex and runs, she forgives him after he explains his sad heartbreak story from his past (its always a lame story excuse) than wham! HEA , the end.Again nothing special.

Kendall Ryan brings her talent for writing sexy men and steamy romance to her first (and hopefully not last) romantic comedy. Readers will be squirming and laughing as Hayden "The Playboy" Oliver attempts to be "just friends" with sassy, smart Emery Winters. He's so screwed. A doomed platonic friendship full of UST (unresolved sexual tension) and a surprising tender side to the playboy give Screwed the perfect balance of steam, comedy and heart.

Hayden and Emery are off the charts smoking hot! He is a womanizer who has been told not to screw over any more tenants in the building he both owns and lives, she is a smart and savvy lawyer who just moved to a new city. When these two decide to try a friendship, will the attraction fizzle or enflame?
Screwed has a lot of substance, but is still a light and fun read. I thought Kendall Ryan did a fantastic job of bringing these two characters to life, I wanted to be friends with Emery and do more than just be friends with Hayden. He's unapologetically brash, but underneath it all is a really good guy. Try Screwed, you won't regret it!

This book did not keep my attention. I read books like movies that are playing my head as I read, this screamed hallmark movie to me. I put this book down for a couple of days which is not like me but I didint keep my attention. Usually i read a book within 2 days but i figure I know how this is going to end.

Cute, funny, well-written. This hit the spot for me in the moment. I can always get behind a subtle rom-com that has believable characters and is not over-the-top dramatic. I've now got the second book in this series ready to go on my Kindle for a rainy day because I know I'll want to read it in one sitting - can't wait!
