Amazon | iBooks | Amazon Paperback | Nook | Kobo | AUDIO Amazon | Audible

   
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 got the surprise of her life to see me standing there—with an offer I hoped she wouldn’t refuse.      


If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, I would.  That’s rare for me.  I already know that this book will be in my top 5 reads for the year!

This book had my heart hurting and me crying.  But it also had me laughing a lot.  Luckily, I didn’t get the hiccups though.

When we first meet amber, she was heartbroken and a little lost.  Her boyfriend of nine years broke up with her.  He’s the only one she’s ever dated and been with.  How do you start over?

Luckily one of her best friends, Channing, needs a place to stay while in town for business.  And her other best friend had a great idea… a male escort to get her back in the game.

I don’t want to say more on that because I would hate to give anything away.  But I will say it was awesome, and hot and steamy!  Real steamy!

Channing is swoon-worthy and I don’t say that often about characters.  The way he is with Amber, man.  And with his mom.  And can’t forget about him and Milo!

I love both him and Amber.

I will admit that I was wondering what had happened to Lainey.  When we finally found out, I cried.  I ugly cried.

Rory I didn’t like at first.  He hurt Amber so bad by leaving her.  When the true reason came out, my heart broke for him also.  I honestly didn’t know who she would end up with.  I was hoping for Channing.  But Rory is a good guy also and he really did love Amber. 

I am extremely happy with the ending.

The epilogue had me crying, yet again! 

This is a must read, must one-click immediately, do not pass go, do not collect $200.  Just read this NOW!
