When ever I pick up a Kendall Ryan book I know I am in for a great read. I love single parent stories and this was one of the best I have read. Not to mention the absolutely gorgeous and cute toddler twin girls that almost stole the book.
Be warned, this book ends in a cliff hanger which I did not realize at first.
I loved hot, hunky alpha CEO Dominic and his company intern Presley, what a fabulous couple they made.
Dominic is at times brooding and not a great boss, but underneath it all, he has his secrets and a deep and abiding love for his children.
The chemistry between them is intense although Presley is determined to ignore it. Dominic on the other hand, even knowing it is not a good idea, is more than happy to push the boundaries.
The banter between Presley and Dominic was engaging and drew me in. Dominic is totally swoon worthy whilst Presley is kind, sweet and clever.
There is miss communication and miss understandings between them and yet when Presley needs help, it is Dominic she turns too.
There is an unexpected twist which we will have to wait for book two to see play out but it did surprise me and I was thoroughly annoyed with Dominic’s reaction.
Thankfully Seven Nights of Sin releases late June do we don’t have long to wait.

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 devoured this story. Even when I wanted to, I couldn't put it down or stop thinking about it. Kendall Ryan does a fantastic job of creating a world I never wanted to leave. Dominic Aspen is the CEO of a major hotel chain. He works hard and expects his employees to do the same. He doesn't have time for relationships or anything outside of the office.
When Presley lands the internship of her dreams, she is determined to do what it takes to get the job at the end of her experience. What she doesn't expect is her sexy boss to propose a two-week arrangement outside of work that might be the end of it all.
As soon as I got to the end of this book, I immediately jumped to the conclusion of it in Kendall Ryan's next book. She created a world I never wanted to leave.
PS - Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan are amazing actors of this fantastic story. Their performance made this story come alive and made me want to listen to it long after it came to an end. They are a dynamic duo when it comes to narration.

The Two Week Arrangement by Kendall Ryan is book 1 of the Penthouse Affair. Presley Harper is driven to succeed and she is hoping that an internship at the Aspen Hotel chain will give her a jump start to her career. Dominic Aspen is a young hot shot hotel CEO with a secret. Two of them actually. His twin toddler daughters. When Dominic and Presley meet its all business on the surface. CEO and intern. Under the surface though things are boiling.
I liked how Ms. Ryan gave us some time to really get a feel for the backstories of these characters and how they approached each other but then gave a good opportunity to give things between them a hefty shove. Both Dominic and Presley are independent and successful people, but also fiercely caring and protective of their families. One thing to note, this story does not end at the last page of The Two Week Arrangement and the cliffhanger we are given will have you immediately wanting more, so be ready to go on to the next book right away.
(I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book I received for free in exchange for my open and honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.)

Rating: 4.5/5
There is no surprise that I am a sucker for a great romance and Kendall Ryan always delivers such great stories that will will hook you in until the very end. The Two Week Arrangement is the first book in the Penthouse Affair series, one that you will not want to miss.
In this story we get to meet Presley Harper, a 22-year old Brown graduate who hopes to win the job of her dreams by working alongside billionaire Dominic Aspen in order to land an executive position at the most prestigious hotel chain in the world. She has worked really hard to be in the position that she is in, but even though the internship position in unpaid she is willing to give it her all especially when she truly needs the job. Ever since her father disowned her younger brother she has been stuck helping him pay his college bills, but money is getting tighter and she needs to prove that she can be the best in order to help her brother financially. But everything changes when she gets paired to work with the CEO himself and the chemistry between them is instant right away. She is attracted to him when she shouldn’t and his proposition soon makes things worse as she gets to know the guy behind the billion-dollar empire. Presley wasn’t supposed to fall in love, but she knew their arrangement was temporary and getting her heart hurt was meant to happen after all.
Dominic Aspen has it all. At least that’s what everyone sees on the outside. He is the perfect 26-year old billionaire with his whole life ahead of him full of money and woman around him. What the public doesn’t know is that he is the father of two little girls who he can’t wait to see every time he gets home and this makes him extremely protective over them. His private life is private for a reason and he likes it that way. He has been through so much already, especially when it comes to relationships and that is why he is not interested in being in one. His focus right now is to finish the internship program and win over an investor for his company. But that soon changes when he sees Presley for the first time. She is everything he wants, but can’t have. Until she needs her that all bets are off. Now he has to figure out a way to make her his forever before it’s too late.
I loved reading this story, it had a lot of sweet and adorable moments between Dominic and his daughters as well as steamy scenes between him and Presley. It’s evident that they both have pasts to overcome and there are a lot of ups and downs in the horizon. I loved Dominic, he is charming and sweet. Presley is such a great sister and brilliant worker. She truly wants to make things work so she can officially work for Aspen Hotels. But as the two start to spend more time together, the closer they get and feelings start to grow until something happens the changes the course of events. I wish the author could have introduced the catalyst of what brings them apart earlier in the story and developed it further towards the end. It felt abrupt to me, but it somehow worked at the very end. The story does end in a cliffhanger and I cannot wait to read what happens next. I would highly recommend checking out the story and any others by the author, you won’t regret it! :)

Gah, this book was AMAZING!!! It drew me in from the start, and kept me there with the sexy, broody Dominic, and the strong, quiet Presley. These two are about as opposite as can be personality wise, but they just click. That ending??? Yeah, I need book two stat! An amazing must read that I would highly recommend!

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!!!!!

Kendall always gives us a read that draws you in and holds you hostage with the alluring and seductive story that unfolds. That was definitely this book! Dom is the sexy as sin CEO of Aspen Hotels with a well hidden secret and Presley is the sweet, beautiful intern who catches his eye and breaks down his walls. Dom protects his personal life from all and NEVER lets anyone in until Presley. What happens when the one person you thought you could trust betrays you, or so you think? What happens when you get to the end of the story and realize you are left hanging.... you continuously swipe trying to get to the next page because there's no way it can just end like that..... damn it, it does...I NEED the next book now and so will you!!!

Presley has a chance to work for a company she’s been dreaming to work for and earned a spot to intern with several other people. What Presley never expects is that she will work directly with the CEO, Dominic Aspen. The tension is hot and there is definitely chemistry igniting between Dominic and Presley. He’s her boss, can never be anything more.
One night Presley runs into Dominic at a bar and his date flaked on him for an important business dinner. What turns out to be Presley helping her boss once turns out to become an arrangement between the two. Will Presley and Dominic be handle all the tension and chemistry?
Ms. Ryan has me on the edge of my seat waiting for more. I cannot wait to see how Presley and Dominic’s story concludes in Seven Nights in Sin!!!! This story is sheer perfection in every way. I need more now please! 5 stars!!!

First, I will say, this is a Kendall Ryan like no other!! I'm totally in love......however, secondly, be warned it's a cliffy, but I honestly love those, because I know she has ALOT in store for us in the next one! Presley is one of those heroines you want to be or want to have a friend like her in your life or you are her and you can relate to her 110%!! She's the best heroine I have read in a long, long time. She is probably the best Kendall has given us in awhile! (Don't get me wrong, I love Kendall's characters, but Presley is a force to beheld!) And Dominic, well he is the hero you will swoon over and fall completely in love with!! He is a totally jerk in so many ways, but he has the sweetest side EVER!! He likes his life the way it is, personal and professional separate. The plot, the flow, the chemistry all worked very well for this book and I can not wait for book two!! Bring it on!!

So, I like a short and sexy read as much as the next person. And I can even get behind some insta-love, if it makes sense. Dominic Aspen is a pretty good reason, I'd say, him and his smoking hot man in a business suit ways, so how is a girl to say no? To keep her wits about her, dazzle him with her top-notch work ethic, and keep business, well, business? Yeah, this is a Kendall Ryan book, and a forbidden office romance at that, so that's not happening.
All sass aside, I really enjoyed THE TWO WEEK ARRANGEMENT. I will admit that certain scenes had me shaking my head and saying, "Presley, girl, WHAT are you doing?!' She's so smart, yet such the ingenue at times, that I wanted to pull her aside and give her a talking to. And Dominic, well, sometimes, man, it's best to take a beat and think things through before saying the first thing to pop into your mind.
I wasn't picking up that the fact that this book is, in fact, the first in a set, so, yes, I was a bit surprised as I plunged over the cliff, but, at this point, I'm all in, and hanging tough to see just how things shake out in SEVEN NIGHTS OF SIN, which can't get here quickly enough.

This was really good. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. This review is for an ARC, and reflects my honest opinion.
First off, let me just say that I enjoyed this so much I finished in one day. I liked both Presley and Dominic (Dom) a lot. I also liked Oliver, Fran, Bianca, Emilia, and Lacey. I thought we’d see a little more of the side characters in both of their lives, especially Presley’s brother given their relationship. The interactions between the two main characters were always entertaining, even when Dom was being a (mostly lovable) jerk. Seeing him with the twins was swoony, and made me love him more.
I’d have to pay more attention to the timeline, but I was pretty sure the trial period for the interns passed well before the end of the book. There wasn’t anything mentioned about who was staying/going. I also expected a little more focus on the internship (and the other interns) besides the initial couple of chapters. I wasn’t surprised by the “twist” at the end, but I thought it would be in the first quarter of the book instead.
This was a slower burn than I expected from the summary, but it played out in a believable way for these two. I’d known that this was a duet that had the same cast of characters, but then I forgot sometime between adding it to my TBR and reading it, so I was a little surprised when I finished the last chapter. Regardless, this had me hooked. I can’t wait to read the conclusion of this story in Seven Nights of Sin!

This book was a total surprise! I mean, don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed all of the books I've read by this author, and was sure that this one would capture my attention, just as much as the others. But really, This Book Is Scorching HOT!!!!! But be prepared, it definitely ends on a cliff hanger (which I usually can't stand!) I didn't know that going in, but probably would have had a clue if I'd read the blurb for the next book! However, unlike with most cliff hangers, I don't find myself annoyed that the story ended without a resolution, I just find myself eagerly anticipating the next book, and I can't wait to find out what happens!
Dominic is a young, hot shot CEO of a Hotel empire he inherited from his dad. And he's good at it, taking the company to places it's never been before. But he also has a whole life that he doesn't share with anyone, one that is top secret, and close to his heart. It also leaves him with no time for a romantic life.
Presley is a hardworking recent college grad, looking to make her place in the corporate world. Even though she is working to put her younger brother through college, she takes a position as an unpaid intern, hoping to turn it into her dream job. Except, the first time she runs into her boss, sparks fly, and it only gets hotter from there.
This book is full of surprises, heat, and just a bit of drama. I loved the connection between Dominic and Presley, and this story promises to only get hotter as it goes to book 2. It was a fantastic beginning, and I can't wait to see how their story progresses!

The Two Week Arrangement had me from page one! I love when I can dig into a book and get so lost that I have no idea what has hit me by the time I have read the story. The ending has me in a tizzy! I did not expect Presley to turn to the one person that could ruin it all for her.
Let me back up for a moment. As you can tell I am still reeling about the cliffy in this book. Dominic is an un-perfect hero of our story. Which is perfect in my eyes. He has his flaws and quirks. He also holds two major secrets. As soon as Presley is in the picture, all bets are off. I loved these characters. I adored Presley and her mind. She dazzled me as she would with anyone.
The Two Week Arrangement was a perfect story until it was not. We cannot all live in a bubble of blitz. Something has to go wrong, right? Right! You will be floating on cloud nine with these two until the very end! I am cannot wait for the next book and see how it will all play out!

Amazing job Kendall. This book is one of my favorites from your collection. I read it so quickly and I couldn't put it down. Presley has the weight of the world on her shoulders and a lot of responsibilities. She provides for her younger brother and needs to be able to land a well paying job to continue to support him. When she meets Dominic, the sparks immediately ignite. Their chemistry is instant and fun to read. Dominic has twins at home and is a single dad. He works hard and is the hot boss for Aspen Hotels. I cannot wait for book 2 to be released. I hope it comes quickly... Enjoy!!!

Dominic is a sexy CEO with a huge secret. When he needs a date quick and sees his new intern Presley he offers her cash if she joins him. The two begin a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Super sexy romance. Plenty of steam balanced with a great storyline. Presley is trying to help raise her brother. Dominic is a great alpha with a soft spot. Perfectly sets up the next installment.

Another fantastic romance from the uber-talented Kendall Ryan! The Two-Week Arrangement, the first book in her steamy Penthouse Affair Duet, is about sexy, single dad/CEO Dominic and his beautiful, hard-working intern, Presley. Sparks fly and tension rises from the start, capturing red-hot passion and irresistible attraction within its pages.
The author undoubtedly knows romance, and it shows in every book she writes. Dominic and Presley are exceptional characters. Their relationship is flirty, seductive and completely forbidden. And the chemistry shared between them is magnetic – a slow burn of desire that weaves through the story line and cultivates it with feverish need for more. Both characters are strong, intelligent, and 100% devoted to their work and their families. But it’s this unexpected allure towards one another that leaves them both questioning if their connection with each other is worth risking everything for.
This steamy, office romance leaves us on one hell of a cliffhanger and elicits an event stronger desire for the conclusion of Dominic and Presley’s love story with Seven Nights of Sin. I’m sitting on the edge of my seat with anticipation to see what happens next.

Presley is on a mission to make it big in the business world, and the new internship she just landed will have her one step closer to achieving that dream. Not only is she supporting herself, but she is also helping put her younger brother through school too, so making sure this internship goes well is very important, she has a lot riding on it. And she doesn't plan on letting anything get in her way... even her sexy new boss!
The Two Week Arrangement is a forbidden office romance story that centers around the lives of Presley and her irresistible boss Dominic. The moment these two met you could feel the sparks brewing between them, they had an instant undeniable connection that kept drawing them together, no matter how hard they fought it. This slow burn romance is not only good for the heart, but also comes brimming with many moments that'll leave you swooning, nothing is sexier than a dedicated single dad!! I loved meeting these characters and look forward to seeing how things turn out for them in the next installment, with the chemistry they have I can only imagine the heat that is to come! Highly recommend this one, it's a delightful, heart-squeezing tale that'll have you smiling throughout!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am leaving my honest opinion.

I enjoyed The Two-Week Arrangement. The storyline was good. I particularly enjoyed the parts with Lacey and Emilia, they're adorable and I hope to have even more of them in Seven Nights of Sin. Dominic and Presley are both hardworking, smart, and determined characters, but their lives are very different from one another. They definitely have chemistry with one another, but there are a lot of obstacles in their way. They still have a lot they are going to have to face yet, and I'm curious how that will play out in Seven Nights of Sin.
