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.

Great Book!

I really enjoyed this book. I am currently struggling with an age gap love myself so I found the book very relatable. I like that the chapters swapped between the minds of Jordan and Pike. It was nice to hear both characters thoughts throughout the story. The narrators did a great job. I listen to the whole book over a 2 day period, I was so intrigued with the storyline.

A winner.

I enjoyed everything about this story. Life throws some twist, like meeting your boyfriend's dad and not knowing it. Also being attracted to his dad.

Absolutely amazing 🙌

I heard this book was good, but omg I didn’t think it would be this good. I spend 2 days straight listening to it ❤️ I can’t recommend it enough, especially the voices just make it perfect. I have already purchased all other books by this author❤️

Worth a listen

I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of this book, good character development, and the tension building throughout the first half was palpable! But I found the ending a bit corny and was ready for it to be over a few chapters earlier. Also could have dialled up the spice factor.

Unexpected

I really enjoyed this book. Listened to it over a weekend. I didn't really like the premise and only took a chance on the book because of the reviews. So glad I did. It could have been really cringy but it wasn't. I was invested in the characters and story. Well done!
