Birthday Girl Review
Author: Penelope Douglas Note: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
JORDAN
He took me in when I had nowhere else to go.
He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He doesn’t treat me like I’m nothing, take me for granted, or make me feel unsafe.
He remembers me, laughs with me, and looks at me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work.
I have to stop this. It can’t happen.
My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he’s probably unavailable.
Only Pike Lawson isn’t the unavailable one.
I am.
PIKE
I took her in, because I thought I was helping.
She’d cook a few meals and clean up a little. It was an easy arrangement.
As the days go by, though, it’s becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can’t touch her, and I shouldn’t want to.
The more I find my path crossing hers, though, the more she’s becoming a part of me.
But we’re not free to give into this. She’s nineteen, and I’m thirty-eight.
And her boyfriend’s father.
Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house.
*BIRTHDAY GIRL is a stand-alone, contemporary romance suitable for ages 18+.
BOOK REVIEW
What can I say about Birthday Girl? I will start the review by saying that before I read this book I had a prejudice with its plot, I wanted to read it but at the same time I didn't want to, and I regretted so much for not reading it sooner because of that, the reading was so fast and light unlike Penelope's other books and when I read the notes I saw that it was for her too. I already had crushes on older guys but Pike Lawson shuddered my frame I don't think I have ever read such a good fictional father and everything he does for his son and other people makes him even better. Jordan is such a strong and determined young woman and I can say the same for her sister, would a Cam book be a dream?, her strength and perseverance are otherworldly. Cole was a good character but I think there was a lack of dialogue between him and Jordan after the pool incident which we didn't get besides a deepening at the end of the book, Lindsay shouldn't even have appeared too annoying and you couldn't understand the last of her along with her actions in the rest of the book, not to mention her going to each of Pike's for no reason. Other than those mistakes it was a very good and fast read, I was too surprised by a book I was very afraid of.
