4.5 cups of hilariously funny and sexy read about a marriage of convenience that has the groom touting his sexual assets to the max to his intended bride!
In HITCHED Vol 1, we meet our protagonists in the midst of negotiating their marriage. It seems that to inherit the company their respective fathers have built they had to get married plus complete another clause that wasn't revealed until the end of the first installment. Noah is crazily unapologetic regarding his sexual habits but like all bad, bad boys of romancelandia he clearly has a heart of gold. Olivia really can't deny that smidgen of attraction she's been trying to suppress since they were teenagers which was recently hammered into her by the visual image of Noah's impressive asset but marriage to someone she doesn't love much less like is something she never really contemplated on. But as they trial their fake engagement, Olivia and Noah can't really deny that they might have something going for them after all. Can they make it work?
Hitched is addicting and this installment does end in a cliffhanger of sorts. But fear not for the charm of this series is the witty and humorous banter between our lovable main characters and the shenanigans they get into when they happen to give in to their attraction. Its a wild ride into the adventure of love but its guarantee that Hitched will have you hooked by the time the first page is turned!

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.
