With Birthday Girl, she twists the older man/younger woman taboo and makes it compelling, sensual, and a wonderful treat.” -Eden Butler One of the best of those things is her ability to make something taboo seem irresistibly satisfying.
She delivers a multilayered love story that strikes every emotional chord along the way, a story that is beautifully complicated, infinitely angsty, and completely impossible to put down.” -Natasha is a Book Junkie “Penelope Douglas showcases her knack for creating compelling central characters and thus reversing all our expectations about them.*BIRTHDAY GIRL is a stand-alone, contemporary romance suitable for ages 18+. Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house. The more I find my path crossing hers, though, the more she’s becoming a part of me.īut we’re not free to give into this. I can’t touch her, and I shouldn’t want to. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. It was an easy arrangement.Īs the days go by, though, it’s becoming anything but easy. She’d cook a few meals and clean up a little. I took her in, because I thought I was helping. Only Pike Lawson isn’t the unavailable one. My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he’s probably unavailable. 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. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me.
He remembers me, laughs with me, and looks at me. He doesn’t treat me like I’m nothing, take me for granted, or make me feel unsafe. He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He took me in when I had nowhere else to go.
