Book Summary:

Over my dead body. 

That's what I told Gracie when she informed me of her plan to pick some random guy she met online to get rid of her pesky virginity. If anyone is touching her, it's going to be me. 

I shouldn't even be considering it, but I can't get it out of my head: her, under me, begging me. 

 *** 

Arrogant. Cocky. Prick. 

Those are the words I’d use to describe my older brother’s dangerously handsome best friend. 

When he learned of my plan to kick off my white cotton briefs, ditching my good girl persona once and for all by losing my virginity to the first eligible bachelor I could find, he flipped out. Said over his dead body. 

He says if anyone’s going to do it, it’s going to be him. 

I hate that I’m even considering his offer. 

But I am … I sooo am. 

Ever since he suggested it, all I can think about is his cocky smile on those full lips as he’s driving in to me. 

But if we cross that line … will I ever be able to go back? 

MONSTER PRICK is a spin off novella from SCREWED, but can be read as a standalone, as it features a new couple.
 

My Thoughts:

Monster Prick was a sexy and sweet read. I enjoyed every moment of Gracie and Hudson's novella.  I haven't read Screwed, and I wasn't lost as I read this story.  Monster Prick has made me curious about Gracie's brother, Hayden and love interest Emery though, who both had a few small cameos.

Gracie has had a crush on her older brother's best friend, Hudson, since she was a young girl.  She can't help but compare every man she meets to Hudson, and finds them lacking time and time again.  However, Gracie knows that Hudson, known for his player ways, doesn't return her feelings.  Or does he?  

Hudson has had feelings for Gracie for a very long time, but knows that his best friend, Hayden, would not be okay with the two of them together.  When Gracie informs Hudson that she plans to lose her virginity to a date she finds online, he feels himself getting tense, angry, and jealous.  This leads him to propose that he be the one to take Gracie's virginity, and teach her about sex over three dates.  Then, they will go back to being just friends.  However, what happens when feelings deepen and love blossoms?

Monster Prick went by in the blink of an eye.  I love stories where the brother's younger sister falls for his best friend.  I'm sure many of us ladies can relate to having a crush on a brother or cousin's friend.  I know I did.  I loved watching this fantasy play out.  Hayden was a selfless lover, and I loved how he doted and adored Gracie.  These two fit beautifully.  I also liked when they reminisced about growing up together.  Hudson always made Gracie feel special, and was a big part of her life.

My Rating:

If you are looking for a fun, fast, sexy, and light-hearted novella, Monster Prick, is an excellent choice!  I give Gracie and Hudson's love story, 4 Dream Come True Crush, Playful, Aphrodisiac Filled Stars!

Book Teaser:

Book Excerpt:

Hudson 

“What if I could help you?” 

I have no idea what the hell I was thinking. The words just leaped out of my mouth. Listening to Gracie talk about kicking off her granny panties and popping her cherry with some random Internet dick...I guess it drove me temporarily insane. 

But there's no taking back the idea now. Gracie sucks in her breath, blinking wide-eyed. “What do you mean?” she asks. 

What do I mean? Here I am, sitting next to the world's most beautiful girl—drowning in her eyes, her scent, the gentle puff of her breath on my mouth that begs me to close the distance. I know what I want, but I also know what will happen if I take it. My best friend will rip off my balls and feed them to me. And I'll probably deserve every second. 

But sweet Jesus, I'm pretty sure Gracie wants this, too, and that's enough to blow my better judgment to pieces. All I care about right now is making her feel better. In as many ways as possible. And if her slightly quickened breathing, blown pupils, and flushed cheeks are anything to go by... 

As an experiment, I dart out the tip of my tongue to wet my lips. Her darkened eyes drop like a magnet yanked them. Yeah, bingo. Having a little black book as thick as the dictionary has its advantages. I know damn well how to tell when a woman wants me.

Excerpt:

"You agreed to give me six months," he reminds me. 

"I also agreed to give you my virginity," I add. 

"But I didn’t take that." 

"No, you didn’t," I agree. A fact that I’m painfully aware of. 

"Are you still intact?" he asks, his tone raspy and deep. A warm current zips through me, flushing my cheeks and soaking my panties. 

"Of c-course." My voice is hoarse and Colton’s dark eyes roaming on mine make it impossible to speak clearly. 

I see the vein throb at the base of his throat. "Good girl," he admonishes.

GR's Summary:

You’ve met Ben Shaw. Now meet Braydon Kincaid, the devil-may-care male model who nearly stole the show in Working It by New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan. 

As one of the world’s most sought-after male models, Braydon is no stranger to the finer pleasures in life. The last thing he wants to do is limit himself, especially when it comes to women. His best friend, Ben, might’ve settled down, but Braydon doesn’t want to waste his youth on the messy complications of commitment. He wants fun. He wants easy.

Ellie isn’t looking for a casual relationship, but her tough and sassy personality instantly attracts Braydon, who proposes a “friends with benefits” arrangement. Unable to resist the powerful pull of the charming bad boy, Ellie eventually relents, though she longs for all-consuming love. 

As the two spend more time together, Ellie soon realizes that Braydon’s posing skills extend off the runway. His carefully crafted façade masks a secret hurt that he’s reluctant to share with Ellie, even as they embark on a passionate affair that sends them hurtling toward a fate neither expected. Can Ellie risk her heart while she waits for Braydon to let her in, or will she be forced to demand all or nothing?

My Review on Craving Him Here

My Thoughts:

All or Nothing is the third book in the Love by Design Series by Kendall Ryan.  This is the first series that I have read by Ms. Ryan, and I really enjoy her super sexy, fun, and entertaining writing style!  In Working It, and Craving Him, we got Ben and Emmy's story.  Now, we get Ben's best friend Braydon, and Emmy's best friend, Ellie's love story.

Whew!  I couldn't wait to read Braydon's story after I was introduced to him in the previous books.  He is mouth watering with his messy dark hair and gorgeous blue eyes, but it's his confidence, and the way that he carries himself that adds to his allure.  

Ellie is an intelligent, sweet, beautiful, and independent woman that is craving to find that once in a lifetime kind of love.  Braydon and Ellie share an intense chemistry, fun flirting, and sharp banter, but have been acquaintances, up until Ben and Ellie's wedding day.  

Braydon proposes a friends with benefits type of arrangement, and even though Ellie wants more, she can't resist him.  However, the more time Ellie spends with Braydon, the more she realizes that she is falling for him, and is scared of getting her heart broken.  Braydon isn't ready to commit to a relationship, but he also can't stay away from someone as special as Ellie.  He will have to commit to Ellie or risk losing her forever.

Braydon and Ellie were phenomenally realistic and complex characters.  I could feel Ellie's pain, and understood how she had trouble deciding whether to listen to her head or her heart.  Braydon was a great guy.  He was very caring and attentive to Ellie's needs.  He was a great friend, as well as lover.  Therefore, I figured there was more to his lack of commitment, than just wanting to use Ellie for sex.

We get a lot of appearances by Ben and Emmy.  They were a great supporting cast, plus it was nice to see that they were doing well, and their passion for one another has not lessened.  All or Nothing is my favorite book in the series.  I cannot recommend it enough!  I give Braydon and Ellie's story, 4.5 intoxicating, intensely passionate, and erotic stars!

Summary:

In Working It, New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan delivered a sexy and addictive contemporary romance about Emmy Clarke, a sweet southern girl out of her depth in New York City’s cutthroat fashion industry, and Ben Shaw, the hot male model who introduced her to a world of pleasure. But their story is far from complete… Emmy Clarke is no quitter. Toughened by her experience working for fashion heavyweight Fiona Stone, Emmy has come a long way from her country girl roots, embracing her fast-paced and unpredictable life in New York City. Though that life comes with more than a few complications. First there’s the mystery of Fiona’s pregnancy, which may or may not involve Emmy’s boyfriend, superstar male model Ben Shaw. Emmy has always known that Ben comes with more baggage than she can handle—and not the Louis Vuitton kind. Yet Ben is the only man who has ever loved Emmy for who she is, and she wants nothing more than to do the same for him, even if it means forgiving his past and overlooking their wildly different lifestyles. But when a shocking secret from Ben’s past comes to light, unraveling all of their progress, Emmy must decide if their relationship is worth the fight, or if it’s time to ignore her passion for him and let go. 

Love by Design Series:

My Thoughts:

Craving Him, by Kendall Ryan, was an outstanding conclusion to Ben and Emmy's story.  In Working It, we got to meet these two very distinct characters that came from extremely different backgrounds.  Emmy was from Tennessee, was a down to earth Southern girl, with a tight-knit family, home cooked meals, and lived in a trailer most of her life.  Ben, on the other hand was raised by a single mother, who was a famous model.  They traveled the world, lived in extreme extravagance, but he lacked love and affection growing up.  He inherited his mother's beautiful looks, and at the age of 23 was a well established, and successful model, well-traveled, wealthy, and use to beautiful women throwing themselves at him.  He met Emmy because she was the assistant to his agent, Fiona.  These two had a whirlwind romance in Paris, the city of love, but were brought back to reality when Fiona's underhanded scheming created a situation, in which, Ben may be the father to her unborn child.

In Craving Him, the story continues right where it left off from both Emmy and Ben's point of views.  These two have been miserable separated from one other, and after they finally have a talk, Ben gets Emmy to take him back, and try to make their relationship work.  These two get hotter and heavier, as their affair is one filled with endless passion, the content fulfillment of ravenous desires, nurturing, romance, and living the dream.  However, reality once again rears it's ugly head, and these two have to deal with surprises that threaten their relationship, and a surprise that puts in jeopardy all that they have created together.

I loved Craving Him!  This story was an addictive whirlwind ride, and I didn't want to stop reading Emmy and Ben's story.  As they traveled to different places, Fiji being the most beautiful, they were living the dream.  Emmy brought stability, love, nurturing, and a sense of home in to Ben's life.  It was something he had  never experienced in his life before, and didn't even realize what he had been missing out on, until he finally got to experience it for himself.  Once Ben realized what he had, he wasn't willing to ever let it go.  Ben brought Emmy passion, adventure, excitement, a deep connection, and eventually a deep love.  These two were great together!  Their chemistry sizzled through the pages!

I enjoyed the secondary characters.  My favorite's were Ellie, Emmy's best friend and Breydon, Ben's best friend.  Ellie was feisty, stood up for her best friend, and was a firecracker!  I loved this sassy character!  Breyden oozed sex-appeal, confidence, manliness, and was a bad boy through and through.  I'm hoping these two get the next story, because they have a lot of chemistry and passion.  They fight like cats and dogs, but it works for them!  

My Rating:

The Love by Design Series has been great!  Craving Him had various beautiful settings, three-dimensional authentic main characters, with a strong connection, and passionate romance!  The plot was full of surprises, excitement, and kept the story interesting!  The pacing was fast, and the ending was beautiful!  I give, Craving Him, by Kendall Ryan, 4.5 Adventurous, Worldly, Smoldering, Passionate, Fairytale Ending Filled Stars!  Add this series to your TBR!!!    

My Favorite Quote:

"She isn't my equal.  She's better than I ever hope to be.  Her family, her positive outlook on life, her simple beauty.  I wanted whatever she was willing to give me.  I'd take it.  Gladly.  In an industry filled with vanity and looks-are-everything, Emmy never let the fame go to my head.  She'd always treated me like a regular guy.  Like a man who was meant to be cherished for the actual person I was inside and not some idol to be worshipped and gazed at from afar.  It was the only real thing in my life." (eARC, Loc. 2348)
