SYNOPSIS
I have one rule: Don’t shit where
you eat.
Several of the women in the condo complex I own would love some one-on-one playtime, and why wouldn’t they? I’m young, fit, attractive, and loaded. Not to mention I’m packing a sizable bulge below the belt. It’s a combination that drops panties on a regular basis.
Yay, me, right?
But my cock, troublemaker that he is, has been confined to my trousers by my business partner. A concession I agreed to, and one that’s never been hard to enforce until Emery moves in across the hall. She’s smart, young, determined, and sexy as hell. I want a taste. I won’t stop until I’m buried deep inside the succulent new-in-town brunette.
After being warned about my past, she does her best to steer clear, but I’m about to show her that underneath it all, I’m a guy with a heart of gold and a cock of steel.
My name is Hayden Oliver, and this is my story.
SCREWED is standalone romantic comedy by New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Kendall Ryan.

Excerpt
"Tell me more about you," Emery
asks, leaning in toward me.
"What do you want to know?"
"Enlighten me." She shrugs.
Leaning back in my seat, I cross my ankles.
"My job is pretty much my life, and I love what I do. Taking an old
rundown building and turning it into luxury units that rent for top dollar is
awesome. It never gets old. I love seeing the transformations."
"That's amazing." She nods.
"What else ... surely there has to be more to you than just work."
"You want to know something deep, huh?"
She nods, eager.
I think about it for a second, and memories of
my checkered past flash through my brain. But rather than watch her expression
turn to one of sympathy when she learns my past, I'd rather see her face light
up with a smile. "Blow jobs are my spirit animal."
She rolls her eyes at me, but laughs.
Mission accomplished.
“You seem normal enough. What in the hell did
you do to piss off Roxy?” She chuckles as she says this, and suddenly all the
blood in my veins turns to ice water.
I scrub a hand across the back of my neck.
“Roxy and I . . . it’s a long story, and not one I care to discuss right now.”
She pouts. “Fine. Regardless of your history
with Roxy, you didn’t deny what she told me about you.”
“What exactly did she say?” Now I’m actually curious.
She shrugs, playing with the long strands of
hair from her ponytail that rest on her shoulder. “She just warned me to stay
away from you. Told me about your man-whore background.”
“Well, your virtue is safe. I made a deal with
my business partner. No more sleeping with tenants.” I’m not sure why I’m
telling her this, maybe because it’ll be easier to enforce the friends-only
rule I’ve set for myself if she knows that she’s off-limits to me.
“So sleeping around in general is still fine?”
There’s a mocking tone to her voice.
“Absolutely. This will be just friends.” I
gesture between us. “Unless, you naughty girl, you’re trying to tempt me.” I
give her a flirty wink.
She frowns and shakes her head. “Not a chance
in hell. I told you. I’m done with men, and you, Hayden Oliver, by all accounts
are a piece of shit.”
“Excuse me?” I cock an eyebrow at her.
“I’ve dated guys like you before. And I
classify all men who think with their dicks under S for Shitty.”
“I do think with my cock on a regular basis,
so I can’t argue with you there. But he’s so much more fun than my brain.”
This gets a small smile from her, and my heart
beats just a little faster.
“Seriously, why would I take a chance on you
and have my heart broken again?”
“Because I have a nine-inch cock and I know
where the G-spot is?”
Her cheeks turn pink, belying her cool,
confident tone. “Tempting, but not good enough.”

3 'Cocky' Stars
“Generally with women, I have the finesse and mental fortitude of a rhinoceros charging through a watering hole.”
“I definitely know my way around a clit. No worries there. It’s all about pressure and speed.”
Real Estate investor Hayden Oliver, knows his way around women. He has stared in his own and many others personal fantasies. Living them out with every available woman that tickles his fancy. He has even infiltrated his way through his female tenants. Not without controversy, of course. His best friend and current partner has made him promise to focus on the business and not have any sexual relations with the tenants.
With the promise just off the tip of his tongue, a new and sexy female tenant moves in above his apartment. And he already has his hackles raised on seeing her.
Emery Winters has recently moved into the area, looking forward to starting her Law internship at a prestigious Law Firm. Emery has sworn off men and relationships on the whole. Resolved to focusing solely on her career and ensuring her mother reduces her work load and is able to live a relaxed and comfortable life. After a tenant warns Emery off of Hayden, she definitely has her guard up. Especially since her last boyfriends were all the same cocky bastards type.
With both Hayden and Emery attempting to resist each other, they embark on a purely platonic friendship. Every step of the way they become closer and closer, and we see them both resisting their feelings and emotions until, one steamy night, turns both their heads, and other body parts.
What I loved was simply Hayden's cocky confidence and his way around people. He either infuriated them, made them laugh or simply made them want to kick his ass. Then with Emery, she was pure sin. Sexy and sultry, with a strong head on her shoulders, and a kick ass attitude. She gave as good as she got. Always having a comeback for his cocky attitude. He met his match.
Screwed gives us some laugh out loud moments, along with a few arseholery moments with Hayden. An enjoyable romantic comedy told in dual point of views. Screwed is simply about resisting temptation while battling one's own selfish desires.
