Working It by Kendall Ryan!!!

Synopsis:

A story of heart-stopping, toe-curling passion by the beloved bestselling author of Hard to Love, Resisting Her, and The Impact of You.


Straight-laced and well-mannered southerner Emmy Clarke is out of her depth in New York City’s fashion world, but when she lands a job as an assistant at a modeling agency it seems like the perfect mix of business and pleasure. Working under the notoriously tyrannical Fiona Stone is a nightmare, but there’s one distinct perk: ogling the ridiculously hot male models who parade through the office—particularly rising star Ben Shaw.

Ben is everything Emmy’s not: exquisitely gorgeous, highly paid, and well-traveled. He’s also got more issues than Vogue. Emmy looks after Ben on photo shoots, but she refuses to become another one of his lusting groupies. Ben finds Emmy’s refreshingly real attitude to be surprisingly attractive.

Against a backdrop of the most fashionable cities in the world, casual flirting turns into an illicit affair, but when Ben’s twisted past is revealed, and the bitter Fiona catches wind of their relationship, their careers and hearts are threatened.


Darra's Review:

Emmy has to have one of the best job's(besides her bitch of a boss). You get to look at Models all day. One day she meets Ben. And he is one of the hottest models currently. She can't deny that she is hot for him. But who wouldn't be? Dark hair and blue eyes. Just my type! But what she is surprised with is he is interested in her.

Ben is so different from Emmy. That maybe one of the reasons why he likes her. Plus she is no groupie just wanting a night with Ben. Or for his money. Emmy is so sweet and means well. I think it is her Southern Belle personality that makes Ben interested.

So as every girls dream, she gets with him. Now Fiona is a mondo bitch and Emmy is scared that she will lose her job if they get caught but she can't help herself. But once she started up with Ben, she could not help herself.

This story is not just the usual get hot guy, fall in love and live happily ever after with their 2.5 kids. There are moments that I said out loud OH MY GOD! Try explaining to my husband why I said that was difficult. You will know what I am talking about when you get to that part of the book.

There is no doubt that Ben lives a life that leaves hardly anytime to have a relationship. And what happens at the end! I wanted to shoot someone. Wench. All I kept thinking is WTH! I need some closure. It does not end how I thought it would(still left me with a grin). But I loved the book. It is not the usual read, it is much better. Obviously since I am writing an essay here.

I rate the book a 4.4. How can you turn down one of Kendall Ryan's book! Another great one!.

 

Sunny's Review:

So you know how much we love Kendall Ryan and I have yet to be disappointed in a book by her. She is one of those authors that I will buy the book just b/c she wrote. I won't read the synopsis...I don't care b/c I know it will AWESOME!!

So Ben...how can you go wrong with a super hot male model that is straight! I really like him. I like that he isn't just the pretty face with a jerk attitude. He seems to actually care about the people in his life...Fiona (even though I don't think he should), Emmy and his friends.

Emmy is your typical small town girl thrown in the big city. She tries to make the best of her work situation with Fiona hating her and now she has Ben interested in her. She is a sweet girl and it is funny watching her trying to flirt and sext with Ben.  I like that when her world gets wrecked she does not just go running to Ben and listening to whatever he has to say.  She uses her backbone even it is just strong enough to get her back home to lick her wounds in private.

Go get this book. Kendall Ryan is hilarious and she honestly made my jaw drop to the ground in this book. She does a great job of pushing the limits. I am giving this book 4.4 stars out of 5.  I am also going to recommend you following Kendall on FB and Twitter. She is hilarious and there are plenty of times that her posts make me literally LOL.

EXCERPT:


The photographer only prompted Ben very little. He knew how to move on camera, holding each pose for a few clicks, then turning, tilting his jaw just slightly, pouting his mouth, placing his hands on his hips, in his hair. He knew how to work the camera. The one thing that remained constant despite his movements was his intense stare, looking straight into the camera. Those dark hazel eyes burning so brilliantly. A shiver raced up my spine remembering how dark and hungry his eyes looked when he rubbed the toy against my panties last night.

The photographer clicked away, in obvious joy at getting to work with such a talent. “Chin up,” he directed. “Beautiful.” Click, click. “Relax your shoulders.” Click. “Stunning. Just like that.” Click, click.

The ads for the designer denim jeans hugging Ben in all the right places would be on billboards and in magazines that fall. I felt like a cool kid that I got to sneak a peak of the behind the scenes action.

“Great, now look off camera. Pick something to focus on,” the photographer told Ben.

His eyes found mine.

“Good, stay there,” the photographer said.

Ben’s pouty lips parted and his gaze slipped lower, settling over my chest. His jaw twitched. Desire raced through my system. My breasts felt so full and heavy, they practically throbbed for his touch.

Every tilt of his jaw, each flex of his arms felt sexual to me, a silent beckoning me with his eyes. I suppressed a hot shiver. The things he could do to my body without laying a finger on me scared me. This man was devastating to my system.

 “Smoldering!” the photographer called out, continuing to click away.
If he only knew…my panties were about to ignite. Honest to God, I was a fire hazard. Ben needed to stop looking at me like that. His eyes wandered the length of my body, and I lost any interest I had in keeping us apart. My body wanted this too bad. Craved it. Like a junkie needing a fix.

The Impact of You by Kendall Ryan

Synopsis:

Needing an escape from her past, Avery chooses a college where no one knows her. Keeping a low profile was the plan, falling for the intense frat boy, Jase wasn't. Yet she can't deny how alive she feels when he's near. Even as common sense implores her to stay away, her body begs her to get closer.
Jase, numb from his own family drama, has grown bored with weekends fueled by nameless girls and countless bottles when he meets Avery. Helping her cope with her past is better than dealing with the bullshit his own life's served up. Determined to drive away the painful secret she's guarding, he appoints himself her life coach, and challenges her to new experiences. Getting close to her and being the one to make her smile are simply perks of the job.
But when Avery's past boldly saunters in, refusing to be forgotten, can Jase live with the truth about the girl he's fallen for?

Sunny's Review:

I love Kendall Ryan's books. This one is no exception. Jase was great. He is the usual frat boy with girls constantly hanging around him and offering to give him anything he wants. He admits to having lived up that life but was tired of it. Avery is great in the fact that she is trying to run from her past mistakes and realizes the hard way that she can't. She is adopted and does everything she can to shield her fathers from finding out about her skeletons. She also takes their feelings into account when she plans to go look for her biological mother. 
I like that Jase and Avery are friends first. I mean they are both attracted to each other but they really do work on talking and getting to know each other. Jase takes his role as "life coach" seriously and tries to break Avery out of her shell. He also helps her make the decision to find her biological mother. 
When everything blows up for Jase and Avery you kinda want to be mad at him. I mean he did some bad things in his past but at the same time you understand that he is hurt that Avery did not trust him. You find out a little bit more about what goes on when Jase is not talking to Avery. 

I will be rereading this book in the near future (just like the rest of Kendall's books). I am giving this book 4.2 stars out of 5. If you have not bought it go get it!!
