Review Tour: GentleMan Nine by Penelope Ward
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.
What. A. Ride.
I love me a good friends to lovers story and this one didn’t disappoint! Amber and Channing stole my heart in this story. I loved their history, their banter, their chemistry. Just everything about them made me smile. I don’t want to go into too much detail because I need you to experience this story the way I did. Ward writes books with such relatable characters and I loved how I connected with Amber in this story especially since we both worked in the same field.
“I may not have the past nine years to give you, but I can give you many more to come.”
Sighs.
This story was well written, packed with emotion and so many valuable life lessons.This story had me laughing, smiling, clutching my chest, tearing up and sighing with relief. It was such an emotional roller coaster and I loved the ride!! I honestly don’t know how Ward does it but each book keeps getting better and better and better. Thank you so much for your beautifully written stories.
