Hitched: Volume One by Kendall Ryan
2.0
These three Hitched volumes are essentially one book. This book is not enough to stand on its own. Especially if you want a HEA. So to me it is annoying that it is three separate books if you are paying for them (price may be lower per, not sure bc I did not pay to listen to these). This didn't factor into my review beyond the fact that as a book, it felt very incomplete.
I can't decide if I should read the others, bc while I knew the premise and read it anyways there were just some big problems. The first is that these characters act like they are 15. They certainly don't seem like a couple who, 4 years out of an undergrad degree are set and ready to take over a big company. I don't even recall what the company was or did. I want to know how that type of contract is legal, but more so, how no one is batsh*t angry at the living father who agreed to this. Also, marriage is one thing, but pregnancy? Nope. Even if they were together, 3 months is impractical and wrong (infertility isn't even considered that until it has been a year of trying). It also weirds me out how the MMC just goes along with all of this. Promiscuous man in the past who gets good at sex but then immediately wants a family. And then he doesn't even point out the baby clause and wonders why she ran. Like even though that likely isn't the reason, how is he so shocked? I don't see the need for that in the story. I guess if the story was written better I would overlook the way they were forced together.besr I can tell the story happens within a week. Why? Oh and PS. I didn't even mention how he whipped it out to convince her that they should spend a life together, and it really seemed to sway her. Face palm.
Well that's enough of a rant. 2.5 stars. I really want to give it higher because I 'knew what I was getting myself into' but I guess the immaturity and cliched characters got me.
