Publisher's Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Douglas comes a new forbidden-love story....

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 19, and I'm 38. And I'm her boyfriend's father. Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house.

Birthday Girl is a stand-alone contemporary romance suitable for ages 18-plus.

I cried at this book ending

Long storey short, I love older men, I’m 19 and date almost middle aged men.

LET ME TELL YOU, this book is one of my all times favourites!

Amazingly well done :)


Female narrator could have been chosen better but it was good!!

True love knows no boundaries ...

The unique meeting of Jordan and Pike turns out to be as unique as their relationship. It proves love is ageless. I truly enjoyed this story!

Loved this book!!

This was the first book I decided to try on audible! I am so happy with my decision! Pikes character was amazing to listen to. I enjoyed every bit of the story line. It kept me intrigued and on the edge of seat with the juicy details. I listened to it non-stop. I need another book like this for sure.

blow out the candle and wish for Daddy Pike



Dual Narration


As always
🥁🥁🥁
DUAL POV
🙌🙌🙌

I was pleasantly surprised. I normally dont really like age gaps with a younger FMC ( I like when the FMC is in their mid to late 20s maybe early 30s because I'm crazy and picture myself as the FmC lol but i digress) and boyfriends dad trope. Hardsr for me to get into becase None of my boyfriends have has dad where I was like 👀 heyy , but this doesn't effect my rating.( just personal thoughts lol )

This was good, Jordan was OK. I do like how she's quirky and makes a wish with any candle she comes across. I thought that was adorable. I sea way to forgiving and let's things slide, I was getting mad at her for not sticking up for herself but then I realized she reminded me of my younger self with that so ... maybe I need to make a call to my therapist and unleash those memories.

Pike 🥵🥵 yes please. Tall dark handsome with tattoos and a hard working man.
Thats probably what I found most attractive about him. Finally a blue collars man. No offence to these white collar billionaires , they are OK. But Pike. He's on a whole new level of attractiveness. And there's also something about a man. Who's knows what he wants, and how to take care of a woman, call it experience but he was hot. ( in and out of the bedroom )

I really enjoyed the meet cute in the beginning

And also the character development with Pike and his son were good. Especially since he was a shit the whole book

Overall it was decent.

Forbidden and delicious

This book was so good that it gave me a reading hangover. Nothing I read after this book feels sufficient enough. The narrators were perfect too but my only wish was that it was longer. I felt like more could have been done with the main characters ex boyfriend and I was expecting more of a blow up/ conflict with the mom! Over all spectacular book but with some loose ends
