Anyone But Cade

Anyone But..., Book 2

By: Penelope Bloom

Narrated by: Tim Paige, Lauren Sweet

Length: 7 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's summary

The second novel in USA Today bestselling author Penelope Bloom’s Anyone But... series turns up the heat and hilarity with a story about second chances and promises worth breaking.

After Cade King cost me everything, I vowed I’d never fall for him again - even if he became rich and megafamous.

Go figure.

Now Cade is back with his billion-dollar company...and his ability to radiate attraction like a tempting Wi-Fi hotspot. Not to mention his tendency to have worse impulse control than a chimpanzee.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it a little when I arrested him for disorderly conduct. Unfortunately, I think Cade liked it a little too. So when he asks for my help, I know exactly what I should say. But something’s fried the circuits in my brain. It doesn’t help that I can practically feel my ovaries humming to life just from standing within fifty yards of him. The bastard.

Still, Cade doesn’t know the first thing about commitment. He lives completely in the moment. I’d need to have a recurring case of amnesia to believe he could change. I guess only time will tell which one of us is the real fool in the end.

DNF eye rolling ridiculous

1) female narration so nasally, too irritating to tolerate. 2) lots inner dialogue and ruminating 2) Dialogue repetitive and stale 3) why reviews touted “so funny “ is beyond me. Akin to bad sit-com.

loved this one

I really loved these two characters out of the 6 of them and Bear just really made it so much better. this story had everything the drama, the spice and a part that had you on edge.

Really enjoyable!

I enjoyed Cade and Iris's book even more than the first book of this series - Anyone but Rich. It had the right amount of everything: fun, sexiness, chemistry, intrigue, plus a cute little kid!
I love Tim Paige's voice he's really great to listen to. I'm not sure how I feel about Lauren Sweet, she's not bad and I do not dislike her reading style or her voice, I think the pitch or tone of voice is just not my favorite but on the same note I wouldn't avoid listening to her if she was narrating a book I wanted to hear.

So funny

Loved the story of Cade. He's so funny and has the best heart. Love him and bear together just the sweetest. Great book overall.

❤️🥰❤️

I liked this one a little more than the first. Opposites attract romance with a past romance and an adorable surprise kid. This was a slow burn 🔥 and a nightmare scene 😱

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Hard to like character ahead

I like the premise for the book, and there was hope for a good story. Having read about Cade’s twin, I wanted to also like Cade. I didn’t. He started out the book being a complete clueless, non-repentant jerk to Iris, and he pretty much ended it the same way.

I liked Iris’s character, she is strong and makes good choices when her world is turned upside down due to Cade’s stupid choices. But while she has to settle for way less than she had wanted for her life, he goes on to be a rich womanizer. And he makes no apologies for it. He’s sarcastic, which I usually like in a character, but at the expense of others he supposedly cares for. Bleh. I kept reading hoping he would redeem himself. He didn’t really in my eyes.

So, story is interesting, but the character is unlikable. I didn’t like the female reader- she made Iris sound snooty, but Cade’s voice was better.

Fun and light romantic comedy

I enjoyed this story of second King brother Cade and Iris. It was light and fun to listen.

the first book was funny but this one...no

my first attempt to listen made me angry when I heard the female narrator. She speaks through her sinuses. I tried again because I laughed so hard during the first book I thought this one would be worth the irritating voice...nope. this one did not make me laugh that much. It could have been my mood but 2 tries and I couldn't finish this. why try to power through something that should be entertaining? I'm not doing that anymore.

A great romance story

This book was great!! It was very entertaining and funny. Cade was a jokester so everything was a joke to him until he learned he was a father. Then life became serious and he needed help. He called on the one person he felt he could depend on. While helping Cade with his son, Iris saw a different Cade and fell in love with him all over again.
