“I do.” Two little words I’ve always wanted to say… You know before I turned into a perpetually single, TV-dinner-eating party of one with thirty cats and a worn-out BOB. Wink. Wink. I’ve swiped left, right, up, down. I’m over it! Now I’m taking matters into my own manicured hands and changing the dating game with my guaranteed to set a date love app. The only thing standing in my way? Owen … app.
The only thing standing in my way? Owen Decker. And his huge…ego.
With his perfect hair, perfect teeth, and less than perfect proposal. Not the down-on-one-knee kind. Oh no. A business proposal to merge my dating app with the Hotline Hookup brand.
What harm could it do? Owen is the last person I would walk down the aisle to. After all, he’s my brother’s best-friend and business partner.
Been there. Done that…literally!
I guess you can say we’re frenemies with benefits.
But I’m looking for the one. And this app is going to help me find him. Just not in the way I’d planned.
It’s easy to fall for the enemy when you’re ring ready!

Brilliant Hilarious romantic comedy from Cary Hart. Mal moved to the big city to work with her brother and as the assistant to her brother’s business partner and best friend, Owen. Owen and Mal have history. History that meant more to Mal than it did to Owen. History that meant a world of pleasure to Mal but nothing more than a one night stand for Owen. Now she is forced to work for him daily fetching coffee!! Mal’s big chance to break out of this role comes up and she plans to own this deal and break out of the daily ramen meals but first she has to break Owen!! I loved this one and all it’s humorous banter. I am looking forward to CJ’s story next!!
5 Cranky Stars
Owen and Mallory have that type of tension that makes even complete strangers say my god just do it already!! Sadly, they are too busy dodging their feelings like a game of Frogger. Mal wants a forever and Owen is just here for one night. It also doesn’t help that they work together, and their common thread is Austin. This is their story. We caught glimpses of it in Austin and Clovers story and we couldn’t wait to read more.
Mallory works with Hotline Hookup as Owens assistant. Since they shared a passionate night where Owen acted like it was a one and done and Mallory had her heart broken they have acted like brats to each other. Owen throwing barbs at Mallory any chance he gets and taking great satisfaction from it too. Mal has quit the job multiple times because she has feelings for Owen and knows they aren’t returned. When she comes up with an idea for a dating app she pitches it to her brother Austin and he goes with it but with one condition she partners with Owen since he has the experience and some pretty awesome ideas as well. Over the next few months they trade insults, sexy glances, feelings they never wanted to admit, one scheming assistant, and the fear of hearts being broken yet they make Hotline Hookup dating app a success.
I just loved these two. They were nothing short of throwing things at each other which I’m sure Mal has wanted to do repeatedly. It’s like that old school yard adage that if a boy picks on you he likes you which is bullcrap by the way. They both needed a push and that push seemed to come from their family and friends. CJ is still a riot and I can’t wait to see who the man who brings her down is. This book isn’t all heart though it has some serious sexy times between these two. Smoke up the kindle sexy times. I had a hard time putting this book down which is saying a lot since I have been in a book funk lately. Also, any chance to see Kramer the deranged parrot is always a good time. This is a series people need to read!
Ring Ready is a book after your heart. Mal is looking for her happily ever-after and has taken all her dating experience to help others. Owen who is fighting to keep his heart under control is paired with Mal. Will they or won’t they find their ever after?
I really enjoyed this book. After meeting Mallory and Owen in the first book in the series I was really looking forward to their story. I am a sucker for a good enemies to lovers story and this one did not disappoint. I loved Mallory and just wanted Owen to stop being a di@k and to realize how much he loved her! Men! Lol. You could tell there was an attraction between these two whenever they interacted with each other.
For as much as I loved Mallory and Owen the scene stealer was CJ. That girl is a hoot and I can not wait for her story! And I must also add that Keith Morrison’s voice rocks!!
This is the second book in this series which can be read as a stand alone. We have Big brothers best friend, Owen and Mallory. We knew something happened between them in the last book when Owen overworked her and fired her.
Now Mal has a plan to find Mr. Right with an app, a plan and ambition. When Owen propositions her to work with him on his idea things get competitive, hilarious and entertainingly romantic.
Kramer the smart mouth cockatoo is back. Laugh out loud moments. Great dual
POV that really lets you get into the head of these well developed characters. I am volunteering to review and recommend this book.
Ms. Hart has mastered the nuances of a perfect romantic comedy! Two opponents battling each other constantly. He’s her brother’s best friend & her boss. Everything is working against them. The tension is high. They both try to make the sexual tension work to throw their opponent off their game. Who’s going to win? This is a fun, engaging story with wonderful characters.
What an entertaining romantic comedy with characters that seem to love to hate! lol
I just loved Mal and her friends, who wouldn’t want girlfriends like them, that support each other no matter what??
Mal and Owen clash when they are near each other and when they have to work on a project together, needless to say butting heads happens often. Frustration, sarcasm, witty banter and sizzling tension really made this such a fantastic read!
I love it when a book has lots of fun, lighthearted and snarky parts that make reading so enjoyable and this book had it in spades.
Owen and Mal are definitely a force to be reckoned with, do they really hate each other that much???? Or is nothing as it seems. You definitely need to read it for yourself to understand what I mean!
Absolutely brilliant Rom com!
In the amazing read you get a brother’s best friend and little sister and a enemies to lovers in one book. Love Owen and Mal’s book. The banter between the characters. Love Kramer’s cameo appearance. He stills the show all the time.
Mallory Montgomery battles Owen Decker at work and personally. The contest to decide who is the winner is a fun one to witness.
I have to admit, as I am sure was the author’s intent, Owen drove me batty in the beginning with his antics and cocky attitude but I warmed up to him. Mal I did like, quickly, she had a great quirky personality, worked hard and aimed high. Together they had a combustible chemistry.
All of the characters are fun, especially CJ. I will definitely be interested in reading her story, she’s a card. Kramer, the bird, is a bit of light fun as well.
This is a light hearted romance that is enjoyable to read. There are some great one liners that are thrown away left, right and centre.
Absolutely, with out a doubt a one click author!!
This is a seriously fantastic Romcom! A frenemies at most, makes this for a very interesting book! (And I laugh as I write this!)
Cary is so talented, she will lock you in with some serious belly laughter!
That being said, this story is so much more than that. The little moments (other than wanting to yell at each other) are working to a boiling, hot as hell furnace.
Do not question reading this story, just do it!! You will not be disappointed.
What a fun and sassy read! The one liners by this author always make me laugh out loud! Well written and a great way to spend a few hours!
A very well written, funny and entertaining enemies to lovers romance involving characters that you can’t help but love. If your looking for a Sweet Romance or RomCom, this is definitely the one for you.
Highly recommend!
Cary Hart made me laugh out loud and want to find my perfect match in Ring Ready. Mal and Owen will drive you crazy while you fall in love with them. You need to read this book to find out about the closet, donuts, Kramer, the secret and the proposal! Their wonderful friends are also back to entertain us! Cary always puts in a twist that I’m not expecting and these one or two make my heart explode with happiness. Ring Ready is a funny, engaging story that proves frenemies with benefits can turn into forever love!!!
