The Two Week Arrangement

This is a cliffhanger

The book is fine, the narration is outstanding. But be aware....THIS IS A CLIFFHANGER!!!! Would it be so hard to warn a girl?

Cliffhanger Alert

I wish I knew before I listened. I would have waited for the rest. I hate cliffhangers.

A sinful arrangement (with a few spoilers)

I literally cried because I felt duped by the cliffhanger at the end! I’ve been reading romance novels for decades and PURPOSELY stay away from cliffhangers until all the books in the series are out for me to binge read. I’m an avid reader so there will be about five books before I get to the sequel then I have to re-familiarize myself with everything. According to Amazon.com – it should be out June 25th. (Yes! I stalked the author’s page to find out.)

Now that we’ve covered the cliff hanger, let’s get down to the review. I don’t usually put in spoilers but I feel that since I was hung out there to dry – why not? I won’t give you too much (because it is a really good read)…but I am going to give more than I would usually give in my reviews.

Dom – CEO of family business all because his older brother who was supposed to take over passed away. His parents have both passed on as well. When he learned that his girlfriend was pregnant with twin girls but planned to abort them – he gave her everything she ever wanted in life to guarantee they were carried to term. She signed the girls over to him and took off. The girls are his only family. He doesn’t do relationships – instead he uses an upscale escort service for dates, plus one, etc. (not intimacy). His daughters and the company he owns keeps him plenty busy.

His company needs a new executive staff member to work alongside him and his BFF (VP) so he brings in three interns on an unpaid trial basis to team up with current members of the executive team. He’s teamed with Presley.

Presley’s mom passed when she was a teen. Her dad mentally checked out on her and her brother. Especially since her brother came out as gay and wanted to take up dance in college. Presley, having a 4.0 GPA and being a hardworking, picked up the slack. Using her internship checks to pay for his tuition. When a coveted (unpaid) internship to Dom’s company become available. She goes for it, gets it and is doing amazingly!

One night, Dom’s escort doesn’t show up for an important dinner with a potential client and he needs a plus one. He offers the money to Presley. Completely platonic and it goes well.

Here is what I absolutely LOVE about these two. The circumstances above would paint Dom as an emotional wreck (family passed, shifty ex-girlfriend, single dad who’s overworked) but he’s really not. He has his good and bad moments but everything is tastefully done AND with reasons that make sense.

Same for Presley (accepting money to be a plus one really isn’t what it seems either) the author does a great job of giving you legitimate reasons that help you understand why she does what she does. Oh and by the way, she’s a virgin so she’s not into accepting money for dates on the regular.

Of course, after you fall in love with both characters, there is a misunderstanding that will blow your mind!! Then the story ends. GASP! They give you a few chapters of the next book to clear up a few things but it’s not the same as finishing the entire story.

My recommendation – wait on book 2 and then read them ALL together. However, it’s an awesome book with great characters.

finish the story. I'm not buying half a book.

I'll never purchase this author again. 5 hours of a story just to abruptly end and suggest purchasing the rest. Pathetic.

Worth a credit? 🤷‍♀️

The Two Week Arrangement by Kendall Ryan is a fun, flirty story about Presley, a hard-working, beautiful, new intern who is putting her brother through dance school and Dom, the CEO of the hotel chain where Presley is working. Dom, who is emotionally unavailable, and not interested in a long-term relationship harbors a pretty big secret. After Presley helps Dom out of a jam, he realizes he is not only drawn to her beauty, but also to her brain. Their brand new relationship barely has time to blossom before it is threatened by outside forces. You will be left with a cliffhanger before you find out if their love will survive.

Is this story worth a credit? 👎 I would suggest waiting until the two books are on sale. It is a decent enough story, but I think the two books in this series could have been combined into one. The plot seems rushed. Also, there were a few foreshadowing items that the author started but never brought to completion. If she had, there could have been much more storyline to actually fill two books.

Ugh stops in the middle

Interesting story premise but not enough meat to justify a cliffhanger. Narrators very good as always but this book just stops in the middle of the story. I have no problem with series but don’t make a series by cutting a finished story in half to get two credits which is what this feels like.

Unfinished?

It was an unfinished ending? I believe the book itself didn’t end where is did but just the recording itself...I assume because audible wants you to buy the finished version. Huge disappointment & not impressed.

Worth the cliffhanger! PERFECT NARRATION!!!

A sexy and alluring romance with plenty of flirty, witty banter and great feels. Everything I’ve come to expect and love from a Kendall Ryan book and The Two Week Arrangement totally met my expectations.

I’m a sucker for single parent romances and Dominic just made this girl go weak at the knees! Not to mention that I am also a lover of office romances and this book combined the two beautifully. The forbidden aspect made for some delicious sexual tension and super hot smexy times. The story is so enticing and the narration so flawless that 5 hours of audio almost feels like 5 minutes. Beware because this does end on a cliffhanger, but you’ll be downloading the second book in no time so no fear!

Narration was done by Jacob FREAKING Morgan and Andi ‘The Legend’ Arndt. I don’t think I need to say more. #Perfection #Wow #TakeMyMoneyAlready 5 Stars.

Holy cliffhanger!

Holy cliffhanger. All I can say is thank goodness the second book is out and I can jump right in, because I would have hated waiting after the end of this book! The Two Week Arrangement is a duet from Kendall Ryan featuring CEO Dominic and his new intern, Presley.

CEO and single dad. I'm here for it. When Presley starts her internship, she's not expecting to be mentored by the CEO himself, but when Dom sees Presley, he can't stay away. Presley has 2 weeks of this internship to prove herself. In those 2 weeks she and Dom grow close in more ways than just working. Their sexual tension is off the charts and though they both try to stay away for their own reasons, the pull they have is irresistible.

I listened to the audio book of The Two Week Arrangement and it was the perfect narration. I mean, with Jacob Morgan and Andi Arndt you can't go wrong. They voiced Dom and Presley flawlessly and I highly recommend checking this out in audio format.

Kendall Ryan's books are always short, sexy, somewhat predictable, easy reads. And that's why I love them. They're usually stand-alones but I liked the little twist at the end of this one and I'm jumping into the conclusion ASAP!

Anti-Hero

The guy is such an a$$! He jumps to conclusions and is a cold bastard. I can't like him, even knowing his inner dialogue.

The voice actors are as articulate and entertaining as ever. Shame the book is a waste of their talents.
