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.

Review
Fucked. Boned. Shafted. Owned.
Hayden Oliver definitely knows a thing or two about the many wonderful and shitty ways one’s life can be SCREWED – both literally and metaphorically – and Kendall Ryan does one hell of a job delivering Hayden’s story in all of its messed up glory.
Fucked and Boned
Mr. Oliver is not a novice in regards to his sexual exploits; he has a 9 inch cock and he definitely knows how to use it;) But he’s being cock blocked by his own dalliances, and he’s forced to remain zipped up anytime he’s in his building because he dicked and dashed one too many times to make his business partner comfortable.
Shafted
That’s how Hayden feels when he’s friend zoned by his beautiful new tenant, Emery. Emery has Hayden pegged from the start, and she refuses to fall for the playboy. But some times a friendship can lead to more given the right opportunities.
Owned
Regardless of their “friends only” agreement, readers can tell that Hayden and Emery both want more from each other, but their past own their present and it’s unclear which way they’ll be screwed when everything plays out!
I absolutely love Kendall Ryan’s books – they’re sexy, sweet, a bit angsty, and the banter between characters makes each and every one a must read. SCREWED is Ryan’s first romantic comedy, and I hope it’s a genre that she plans to write in more often because she definitely knows how to mesh humor, steam, and drama together in a way that keeps the read light hearted but also moves the plot along with moments of tension.
Hayden may be the stereotypical playboy, but Ryan writes him in such a way that readers can see beyond his philandering ways; she allows us to get to know him with his interactions with Emery as friends and we truly understand what she sees in him because we see it too.
If Hayden is SCREWED, I wonder what Hudson and his MONSTER PRICK is in for?

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.”
