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.

4 Star Review by Lisa Kane
The only fly in the ointment-Hayden tends to have one night stands with his tenants. They quickly become pissed tenants at the way he blows them off afterwards and Hudson is sick of dealing with the complaints. So he warns Hayden off-no more shitting where you eat.
Of course right after this lecture, Hayden sees new tenant Emery Winters moving in. She's beautiful and his testosterone is calling to him to bed this girl. It doesn't help that his ex Roxy is talking to her, warning her off of him. So when he approaches her, Emery is wary of him and suspect of his intentions. Which she should be.
"What did she say?" My tone comes out more commanding than I intended.
"That you're a dirty, man-whore who's had his fair share of fun. And then some."
"True on all accounts."
"If liking pussy is a crime, lock me up. I'm as guilty as they come. I like the taste of it., I like the smell of it, and I especially like the way it feels when-"
"Do not finish that statement, Mr. Oliver. I get the point."
Emery is interning for a prestigious law firm, Walker, Price and Partt, while she waits to sit for the bar exam. She's just moved from Michigan and ended a no where relationship with a douche. Actually, she's had 3 ex douches. Each worse than the other. But she's in LA to succeed, make a career for herself and make enough money to help her single mom out. All her life, her mom sacrificed for her and she wants to repay her back.
Hayden decides the best approach with Emery is to friend zone her. They can hang out, he can show her LA and maybe, just maybe he can get in her panties. He doesn't bargain on her wanting to find a close place she can do her yoga. He has to enlist his sister Beth help to find out where to go. Next thing he knows he is doing morning yoga and finding vegan restaurants to accommodate his new "friend". This just about kills the cow lover in him.
"Just relax, princess. I won't try to get in your panties unless you ask nicely, and I'm serious about the friends thing. I'll show you around town. It'll be fun."
Hayden is actually having a great time with Emery. She's funny and smart and just about the opposite of his one night stands. But Hayden has reasons for way he pumps and dumps. His heart was shattered once and he is not willing to risk it again. Hudson tells him that he will change his mind when he meets the right woman. Has he already met her?
"You broke up with a girl for farting?"
"Indeed." I confirm.
"That wasn't love, then."
"How do you know?"
Hudson shakes his head. "Because when you're in love, and your woman feels comfortable enough to do that in front of you, you'll think it's cute. "
Emery finds herself falling for Hayden but she knows that he doesn't do relationships. Her brain may tell her that, but her lady bits are telling her something else.
Even if we both feel funny in our pants for each other, sex just isn't a good idea.
A business trip to Omaha just may turn this friend zone into Sexy City. But will there be fall out from crossing the line?
"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?"
Screwed is a quick, funny read with a little bit of angst and mystery throw in. There will be a follow novella for Hudson, Hayden's partner and Gracie, Hayden's sister. I am looking forward to that one!
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
