Crazy, Chaotic Book Babes: 5 Star Review ~ Gentleman Nine by Penelope Ward

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

Growing up, the three of us were friends.

He was the nerd.

I was the playboy.

She was the beauty.

Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits.

He lied.

I went off to college, and he got the girl.

Amber never knew how I felt.

They were together for years—before he broke her heart.

Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch.

When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.

Still reeling from her breakup, she’d sworn off men.

One night, I opened her computer to find the shock of my life. She’d hesitantly contacted a male escort company. Afraid to date and get her heart broken again, she was looking for sex with no strings.

Every emotion imaginable ran through me: protectiveness, jealousy—curiosity.

Amber had chosen Gentleman Number Nine and sent him a message.

She opened up to him, confessing, among other things, her physical attraction to her friend—me. But she considered me off-limits—and she thought I was a manwhore. (Ironic, considering the circumstances.)

Eventually, she set up a date to meet Gentleman Nine at a hotel.

When she showed up several nights later to meet him, she was stunned to see me standing there—with an offer I hoped she wouldn’t refuse.

Review:

There are certain authors you countdown for the next release and when you read the book you absolutely know why she is one of your favorite authors!!

Penelope Ward and given us another book that makes you excited to wait for the next one. Gentleman Nine was the story of Channing and Amber.

Channing loved his sisters friend like a sister but things soon changed. He saw her in a different light and what happens when your feeling suddenly change...well you become a playboy!! Channing's heart was in the right direction but family was always put first. He has to become the figure that both him and his sister needed. When tragedy struck, things took a turn for the worst but then again for the better.

Amber was in love with Rory, both Channing and her friend, but he did something that changed their relationship forever and there was no coming back from that. Amber had a fabulous life that she had many perks and also some sadness in it. How could she become whole?

Amber and Channing's love was a slow grow but it was there since they were young. I loved this story and all the bumps, bruises, love, sadness and everything else there was to offer!!
