One tiny problem: She hates his guts.
Review by Lisa Kane
"Why do you call me Snowflake?"
"Because you're just like a snowflake. Beautiful and unique and with one touch you'll be wet."
I loved this first installment of this trilogy. The blurb pretty much says it all-two people have to marry in order to secure their inheritances of the family business. But she despises him and it won't be easy for him to convince her to take that walk down the aisle.
No marriage means no inheritance, period. For either of us.
This family business is worth 100 billion dollars and it's been bleeding cash for the last few years. It's on its last leg and needs the paddles to resuscitate it. Noah Tate has always wanted Olivia Cane. Their families are not only in business together, but they spent summers, holidays and vacations together. One time Noah and Olivia almost crossed that line, but Noah knew that Olivia was just using him to get over her douchebag boyfriend. Not that this manwhore would have minded revenge sex, but he didn't want there to be regrets.
To me, sex is a competitive sport. I know the rules, I play hard, and I always win.
Nate has had more than his share of women. Probably most of New York's share of women to be truthful. But he's willing to bite the bullet and do what he needs to do to turn the company around. Finally having Olivia is an added bonus.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that my bride to be is the woman I've always wanted.
Olivia is all work and no play. Except for the aforementioned jerk she dated in college, she's had no time for dating and one night stands repulsed her. She knows she's closed herself off, but is she willing to open up and trust Nate?
"We were supposed to be discussing what we have in common."
"Yes. What else?" She drums her fingers on the table.
"I, for one like anal. You?"
Hitched is witty, sexy and such a good read. I hope the rest of the series stays just as fresh and page turning!
"You aren't to mess around with anyone who isn't me. I don't even want to think about another man touching what's mine."
EXCERPT:
"That’s
the whole point of doing this trial period—to see how well we can play ball
together before committing to a team-up. I’m doing my best to become friends
with you, so . . .”
He tilts his
head with a half smile. “Just friends? I’ve got my sights set a little higher.”
Gee, I never
would have guessed, what with his constant attempts to steer the conversation
toward sex.
I quirk one
eyebrow in skepticism. “Friendship is all we need to pull this thing off. And
we’re pretty much starting from square one . . . I would call us acquaintances,
at best. Don’t you think you’re being a little overambitious?”
“Nope,” he
replies, cocky smile still firmly in place.
I roll my
eyes. “Wow. Your arrogance truly has no limits.”
“If I can
put my money where my mouth is . . .” His lustful smirk makes it clear exactly
where he’d like to put his mouth. “Then it’s not arrogance. Just confidence.”
“What makes
you think I would want more with you, anyway? You aren’t exactly my type.”
I expect him
to just give me a knowing look, or maybe toss back some mild innuendo. What I
absolutely did not expect was, “Because I have a nine-inch cock.”
I almost
choke on my martini for a third time. I splutter, “Is that number supposed to
impress me?”
3"
I give him a
skeptical look. “You want to show me your dick?”
“If it’ll
help convince you.” He drains the last drops of his Scotch and stands up. “Come
on, let’s go.”
I stare
after him as he walks away.
Is he
serious? He’s just going to whip it out? I look around to see if anyone is
watching me, then I get up and follow him to the bar’s back hallway, near the
restrooms, unable to comprehend why the hell I’m humoring him. This is
ridiculous.
Once we’re
safely in a private corner, Noah undoes his belt, opens his fly . . . and pulls
out a fucking fire hose.
Holy mother
of God. My hands fly to my mouth. I want to gasp in shock, but there’s no way
I’m giving him the upper hand.
He was
right. His cock is nothing short of massive, and it’s not even fully erect
right now. Nine inches may actually be a conservative estimate of what it might
look like hard. He must destroy men’s egos every time he walks into a locker
room. And I don’t even want to think about what he destroys with women . . .
“Meh. I’ve
seen bigger,” I force out, fighting to maintain my composure.
Noah
chuckles. “I don’t think so, sweetheart.”
“Well,
th-that monster is not coming anywhere near my uterus. No, thank you. I prefer
to keep my organs intact.”
Noah’s grin
widens. “I doubt that, but just to be on the safe side, I’ll ease it in nice
and slow. Piece of cake. Plus, you’ve got good health insurance, right?”
“That is not
funny, Noah. Now, put that thing away or I’ll remove it.”
I try to
sound stern, but my shaking voice and bright red cheeks surely give me away.
Why the hell can’t I stop staring?
He
chuckles—yeah, the jerk can definitely see right through me—but he obliges,
tucking the beast back into its lair.
