“Callihan
and Young teamed up in what can only be described as a winning combo of
heavyweight championship proportions. Sexy, sassy and so much fun, Outmatched
was a page turner that I wished never ended. I want MORE!” — USA Today Bestselling Author T Gephart
Parker Brown can’t believe she needs to hire a fake boyfriend. When she landed her dream job in renewable energy, she thought she’d be entering a world at the forefront of progressive thinking. But the head boss prefers to promote employees who are “settled.” Thankfully, she’s found the perfect candidate, a fellow intellectual looking for some quick cash. What Parker gets is his protective big brother—Rhys Morgan. The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she’s stuck with the manipulative jerk.
Responsibility weighs heavily on Rhys. Now permanently out of the ring, he’s trying to hold together his late father’s gym and keep his younger brother, Dean, on the straight and narrow. To save Dean from himself, Rhys takes his place, ready to give this society girl a piece of his mind. Instead, he finds an opportunity. Even though they can hardly stand each other, posing as Parker’s boyfriend is a win-win deal. She gets to keep her job, and he’ll charm her star-struck boss into sponsoring his gym.
Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn’t so easy anymore. Because what future can a rough ex-boxer, afraid to open his heart, and a polished society geek, who has sworn off real relationships, possibly have?
They say opposites attract. These opposites are about to combust on impact.

AngryTink:
Hey. This is Parker. Parker Brown.
My phone dinged loudly. I fumbled
around my bed, finally finding the damn thing under a pillow. Wiping the sleep
off my face, I rolled onto my back and read the text that had pulled me out of
a pleasant sleep. I smiled. It was just so … Parker. Settling in, I answered
her.
RhysThis: Don’t have to tell me who you are. Your number is
programmed on my phone. What do you want?
AngryTink: Well, good morning to you too, Happy Pants.
My smile turned into an evil grin.
The girl was always going to punch back and make it count.
RhysThis: That’s Mr. Happy Pants. Though, TBH, my pants
aren’t too happy at the moment. Want to help me out with that?
AngryTink: Tempting. Truly. But, no.
RhysThis: RU sure? ‘Cuz Happy Pants Rhys is much more
agreeable than Sad That He Had to Self-Satisfy Rhys.
AngryTink: Would you please behave?
RhysThis: I’m not the one who mentioned the emotional state
of my pants.
AngryTink: ARGH!
A chuckle rumbled in my chest as my
thumbs tapped out a response I knew would piss her off more.
RhysThis: Was that even English? Honestly, Ms. Brown, I
thought you were educated.
She took a moment to answer. I could
picture her, phone in hand, grinding her teeth.
AngryTink: You’re deliberately trying to annoy me, aren’t
you?
RhysThis: You’re quick. I’ll give you that.
AngryTink: Mr. Morgan, I’m about ten seconds away from
finding an alternate fake boyfriend. A goat on a rope would be a better
candidate at this point.
It was cute she thought that was
threatening.
RhysThis: Yeah, probably. But the goat doesn’t have a signed
contract. I do, Tinker Bell.
AngryTink: ARGH@!!
RhysThis: You’re kind of cute when you talk pirate.
5 Knockout Stars
When two of your favorite authors decide to write a book together, you just know it's going to be a hit and Outmatched is a knockout read! I loved everything about this story and couldn't get enough of the chemistry between the characters.
Parker Brown is such a quirky character. She's very passionate about the environment and found herself the perfect job. But one catch, the CEO of her new company is a jerk and wants his employees "settle" both in their personal and professional life. So Parker needs to find herself a boyfriend - fast.
Rhys Morgan is a retired pro-boxer, who owns Lights Out, a gym that is struggling financially. This gym has been in his family and all he wants to do is save it, but refuses to go back into the the boxing world to make it happen. He just needs money quick to stay afloat. So when Rhys meets Parker unexpectedly and opportunity for money happens. And not getting attached to the rich girl, Parker, should be easy money. But it's not! Every stereotype that Rhys had of Parker goes right out the door. She is not what he expected!
Their secret business pact doesn't play out as they expected. The more time these two spend together, the more they realize their relationship isn't fake!
Outmatched is a fantastic read with plenty of humor and romance.
