Marriage of Inconvenience, an all new romantic comedy standalone in the USA Today bestselling Knitting in the City Series by Penny Reid, is LIVE!
There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 2) She must get married ASAP, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.
Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.
Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent—or as trustworthy—as she thought?
Excerpt:
Staring at his chin,
because I couldn’t quite lift my eyes any higher, I cleared my throat. “Should
we get ready for bed?”
“Sure,” he said, his voice
a rumble. Dan’s eyes were on me, I felt the weight of them.
My hands came to the hem of
my skirt and I hesitated, feeling winded for some reason. Sneaking a glance at
him, I immediately wished I hadn’t. His gaze was watchful, but it was also
unmistakably hot in a way that seemed at once both avaricious and accusatory.
The vice tightened around my lungs.
Kiss him! Just freaking kiss him! You want numbered steps? Fine. You
kiss him- check. He kisses you back- check. Then you make out- check. Check the
boxes.
I licked my lips, balling
my hands into fists at my sides again, preparing to follow my hasty list.
But then he said, “Undress
me.”
My breath caught. On
instinct, my eyes lifted and collided with his in much the same way our bodies
had collided at the top of the stairs just moments ago. Jarring. Startling.
Thrilling. This time I couldn’t look away because this time I was falling. He made
no move to catch me.
“What? What did you say?”
His eyes narrowed, which
served only to increase the intensity of his gaze from smolder to inferno.
“Take my clothes off.”
I stared at him, licking my
lips again, and shaking my head. That wasn’t one of my steps.
Lifting my chin, I moved to
kiss him. He leaned to the side, evading me even as his eyes dropped to my
mouth.
“Take off my shirt and I’ll
give you a kiss.” He’d used his
naughty-secret voice.
An explosion of heat
erupted in my belly, and now I was hot all over. I couldn’t figure out if the
heat was embarrassment or arousal or both.
He didn’t give me a chance
to figure it out. His hands lifted and he undid his cuffs; then they moved to
the top button of his shirt.
“You better take over,” he
said darkly, “or else you’re not getting that kiss.”
My review: 4 stars
Nobody writes quirky romance quite like Penny Reid! Dan was my favorite kind of hero- funny, sweet, and so loyal. I really thought he and Kat were so perfect for each other and I thoroughly enjoyed their journey. So fun! Reid's writing is so charming and witty and just perfection.
