What happens when a boxer finds chemistry with a geek?

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.

“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

Review

Once I heard about Outmatched, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this. The boxer and the uber smart, nerdy heroine, without a doubt, I was going to read this. Plus, when you put two authors together that you enjoy reading from, it’s a win.

Fake relationships generally aren’t my go-to for reading, but I thoroughly loved reading this one. It was a bit of a slow-burn, but with their chemistry and endless banter, it made for a rather entertaining read as well.

I couldn’t put this one down! I liked that from a quick glance, you get the most opposite people, but once we start to learn about them, they have more in common than you’d think. And from then on, I think it helped them connect more on a much different level.

I loved these two together so darn much! And with Rhys being this tough yet sweet guy, it made it really easy to fall in love with the guy.

Up until around 70%, there was a specific someone that I was just over reading about. He’s definitely a pivotal part in this one and I think the authors gave him more power than necessary, I didn’t think he’d be playing such a huge role in their story. I kind of wish that he wasn’t that big of a presence.

Besides that little fact, this was so a solid read that I couldn’t get enough of. I hope these two write more stories together because I’m here for all of it!
