The Two-Week Arrangement

The Two Week Arrangement is office romance at its best and once again Kendall Ryan has given her fans another hero to fall in love with but be warned this book does end on a cliff hanger but the good news is book 2 Seven Nights of Sin is coming June 25 so not too long to wait. Dominic is CEO for Aspen Hotels, he is young, successful and drop dead gorgeous but he has a secret he hides from all but his closest friend and that’s two adorable toddlers. Presley is the kind, sweet, smart and hardworking intern who has been assigned to work along side Dom for the next 3 months, she is struggling to make ends meet while also paying her brothers tuition costs so it’s a no brainer when Dom suggests she accompany him on some work events for some extra cash. The problem is this couple share some chemistry that is off the charts, they are attracted to each other and they actually get along so feelings were always going to come into play and that’s when things start to go wrong.... mixing business and pleasure is never a good idea........ I loved the characters, I loved the plot even loved the cliff hanger just a tad and I really can’t wait for the conclusion to this couple’s story. As I said at the start this is office romance at its best.

I just love Kendall Ryan's books. She always seems to have such emotion along with such fun, witty banter and this story is no exception. This is book one of a two book series, and it does end on a cliff hanger. Dominic Aspen is the CEO of Aspen Hotels at only 26 years old. He is a work-a-holic but what most people don't know is that he is also a single dad to two twin girls that are 2 years old, Emilia and Lacey. When Aspen Hotels decides to test out four different interns, with the hope of hiring one of them, Dominic never expected to be very drawn to one of the candidates. Presley Harper has put herself through college always striving to be the best. Presley is also supporting her brother, Michael, through college because their father abandoned them once her mother passed away because of Michael's sexuality. Even though they are struggling to make ends meet, Presley has always dreamed of working for Aspen Hotel's and is hoping to be the best intern candidate so she can win the coveted position. On Presley's first day she is blown away by her immediate attraction to Dominic Aspen. Knowing he is the CEO, she tries to steer clear, but he ends up picking her to work directly with him. The electricity between these two is dangerous and things quickly heat up. Dominic makes Presley an offer she can't refuse....pretend to be his girlfriend to help woo a client and he will pay her $500 each time they are together. Well pretending quickly turns into more. Just when it looks like things are going perfectly, Dominic finds something that blows everything up and he forces Presley away. Wow, Presley is a force to be reckoned with. She is smart, strong willed and doesn't give up. Dominic shares these traits, but he is also dealing with a ghost from his past and has a lot of trust issues. I can't wait to see how this story is going to conclude in the next book!

The Two Week Arrangement barely scratches the surface of the background and relationship of Dominic and Presley. There are so many delectable bits of information waiting to be found it adds to the intrigue in trying to understand our protagonists, especially Dominic. Presley has just finished her degree; she is intelligent and driven to succeed, especially as she has taken responsibility for her younger brother having been cast aside by their father. Presley sacrifices her own well-being in order to ensure her brother can follow his dreams. Presley’s own ambition is to succeed in the competitive hotel industry knowing she will have to prove herself before she can start earning the salary she deserves. An unpaid internship with the best hotel chain is her entry point although she had no way of anticipating her attraction to the CEO – Dominic. Dominic is very young to be in such a powerful position, as well as a father to twin toddlers. He has little to no free time for himself and is carrying a lot of baggage from the relationship with the mother of his children (although the circumstances have yet to be revelled). Which has led Dominic to adopt a rather unconventional approach to intimacy, as well as keeping his work and home life completely separate. So separate in fact, hardly anyone knows of the existence of his children. The attraction between Dominic and Presley is instantaneous and mutual. Although they connect on a deeper level than just the physical. Their interactions simultaneously draw them closer together while reminding them of their differences. There are a number of additional plot lines dealing with the struggles both Presley and Dominic have in their lives and their unique solutions to those problems. Be warned there is a doozy of an ending to The Two Week Arrangement paving the way for Seven Nights of Sin!!!!!
