Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas

Summary :

JORDAN

He took me in when I had nowhere else to go. He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about 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. 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.

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.

Star rating: 5*

Book Review:

I loved this book. I still remember what happened scene by scene. The slow burn and the rooting for these guys to get together is intense and exciting at the same time. Then you are kept waiting for her to decide who she wants to be with. It is a fast paced book too so you could read it in the day easy. Definantly worth the read. This is also a dark romance and there may be trigger warnings so check that out before you read it.
