Hosed (Happy Cat Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Pippa Grant (Author), Lili Valente (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 6,083 ratings
The world’s hottest firefighter is about to get a second chance with the girl next door…

He’s bossy, arrogant, and so ridiculously hot he should come with a warning label and a pair of flame retardant coveralls.

He’s also the boy who broke my heart when we were in high school.

I want to move in next door to Ryan O’Dell the way I want to be the inexperienced gamer geek suddenly in charge of running my sister’s adult toy factory. Too bad both are written in my stars.

Yeah, I’m the world’s oldest v-card-carrying code-writing nerd.

And he’s the world’s hottest firefighter.

And even though he intimidates the heck out of me, I can’t seem to control my body's response when he’s around.

Where is my dignity? My self-respect? My panties?

Seriously…. Have you seen them? Anyone?

Maybe they’re hiding in his bedroom. With my heart.

Yeah, I know. I’m hosed.

So hosed.

Hosed is a steamy, fun romantic comedy between a firefighter and the gamer girl next door, complete with a pet raccoon, scandalous gossip, and adult toy football. (No, really.) This romance has no cheating or cliffhangers, and ends with a banging awesome happily ever after.

    Pippa Grant wanted to write books, so she did.

    Before she became a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling romantic comedy author, she was a young military spouse who got into writing as self-therapy. That happened around the time she discovered reading romance novels, and the two eventually merged into a career. Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine published under the name Jamie Farrell.

    When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes tries to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.

A bit farfetched but so good!
OK I love Pippa's books and this one didn't disappoint. With Lili Helping with it as well, it added that much more to the book. However, I'd have to say this book is a bit far fetched, but what book isn't right? It's a bit left field with some things happen, but it all comes together in the end. A racoon who is a pet, who can do things for Ryan and understand him at all times. Cassie is the virgin next door who is covering for her sister from a nasty breakup, who fled to Europe. Cassie is running the Sunshine Toys Factory while she's away and meets Ryan, again. LOL! Ryan is the local firefighter, and never got over Cassie, but he doesn't know that she's still a virgin OR who is trying to kill her and burn down the factory. One thing leads to another, and they start talking again, and so many twists which are great! The book is so funny as well!!! They find out who is behind everything, and catch him with the help of George, the racoon. My fave quotes from the book 3. Though I'm pretty sure I could work up the lingual fortitude to lick several parts of him-repeatedly. - YES!!!! I'm telling you Ryan sounds HOTT!!! 4. in a huffing-and-puffing, can't-keep-up-with-fit-people kind of way. - This is legit me! LOL! 5. Can I ask Ryan to my Tonsil Hockey Tutor? - This was Cassie after their first kiss!! LOL!!! I loved it! 6. Can I pretty please have your blessing to bang your neighbor? - Cassie thinking about getting her sisters permission, and yep, they're neighbours! Can you imagine living next to that. I wouldn't get anything done, cause I'd be spying on him the whole time!

    Pippa Grant is a one click for me. Her books are always well written, funny and engaging with fantastic characters. This was no exception. Cassie returns to her quaint home town full of quirky characters and one hot fire fighter, Ryan, to help run her sisters adult shop. As you can imagine there is some crazy antics, ridiculous and runaway town gossip all via InstaChat, a mystery to solve, a thieving raccoon called George Cooney, a sheep loving ex-brother in law and of course a love story. Cassie is smart, caring, funny and super supportive of her sister. She deserves her HEA with Ryan, who is gorgeous, funny and protective though of course he does have a couple of moments of stupidity to overcome. A Great read.

    Cassie and Ryan were friends at school until Cassie overheard something and ended up hating Ryan .
    Years later and Cassie moves home to run her sisters business while she is away.
    Ryan has always liked Cassie and he tries hard to prove to her that he is the right man for her.
    But then things go bad and he believes the worst of her. They when he finally comes to his senses she is too hurt and won't listen
    A brilliantly written story with excellent characters and a happy ending guaranteed.
    And who wouldn't love a pet raccoon named George.

    Normally I love the books by these authors, but I struggled with this one. It wasn't poorly written or anything like that, I just couldn't get into it at all, no matter how hard I tried. This won't stop me buying more books by these authors as I normally love them. This was just one story I didn't. I thought with the start to it, that I'd love it, but sadly no.

    Pippa Grant is hands down one of my favourite romance authors. However, I'm always wary when it comes to co-authored books. Turns out, I had no reason to worry. This was a cute and easy story, a little over the top, but hey - that's part of the fun - and it was just as good as Pippa Grant's solo books.

    Holy hannah. How can a book be so freaking hilarious but so sweet and adorable at the same time? I enjoyed this book more than five stars can ever express.
    The sex toy factory was a new one for me. I can't say I have ever read a novel quite like this one but it was amazing. Ryan and Cassie are so amazing.
    I want all the other stories about Savannah and Olivia and George Cooney. I can't believe I want to read more about a raccoon! Lol

    Amazing read that had me laughing out loud. If you love book that pulls you in from the start , with bits that have you giggling away or laughing out loud which ever your preference. Then this book is a must for you.

    Funny, hometown wholesome easy reading. Once I start I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with the characters especially George Cooney and he's love for sex toys and sweets!!

    Fantastic read. Sit back and enjoy the rollercoaster of love and life with sexy neighbours, amazing friends and a cute furry little thief!

    FLOVE this book!
    Last night at work I had a couple of hours to kill while systems and programs updated. My immediate thought was, "what do I want to read?". Honestly, though I have almost 4000 books in my Kindle library, I couldn't think of anything I wanted to read that I hadn't already. I figured I'd browse my options and just pick something. I can't even express accurately my level of excitement at seeing Hosed at the top of the list, having totally forgotten about pre-ordering it. I have read several books by Lili Valente, and everything from Pippa Grant (she may or may not be my author crush 😊). Together, this dynamic writing duo did not disappoint.
    Before I made it through the first chapter, I had tears running down my face from laughing so hard. Ryan and Cassie are cute and steamy and so much fun. The secondary characters are quirky and hysterical, and add to the crazy mayhem that unfolds from the very first page.
    These authors pulled out all the stops. I was laughing and crying and experiencing all kinds of feels. I loved how the story played out, though I would have been overjoyed to see the sheep lover get slapped a little harder by karma...but that's just me.
    I'm really hoping to see stories revolving around at least five of the characters in Hosed, and George Cooney needs a recurring role...and why isn't dildo football a real thing? Or is it? I need to Google it. 😉
    My only regret with reading this was the timing. I really should not have started reading this with only a couple of hours available. I was saddened to have to put it down and actually go back to work. 😁
    Do yourself a favor and 1-click Hosed...and for the love of all that is holy, make sure you have enough time, because you will not want to put it down.

    This book has put a big smile on my face. The confident firefighter who wants to protect everyone and the shy, virgin gamer who has been left in charge of her sister's sex toy factory! Yep, this book was funny, sweet, a little bit crazy, (especially where dildos and a racoon called George Clooney is concerned), there's a dash of danger and suspense and a lot of sexy. It was fun and exactly what I needed. Well written, I'd definitely like to read more of this romcom series and the hot O'Dell brothers!

    “Some risk are worth taking and Cassie is worth this roll of the dice and so much more.”

    This book was sweet & funny!! Jacob Morgan and Virgina rose did an Amazing Job narrating this book.

    Cassie & Ryan were adorable! The whole town was so funny, the insta chat was so hilarious. This was also a very fast read!
