Anyone But Rich

Anyone But..., Book 1

By: Penelope Bloom

Narrated by: Lauren Sweet, Tim Paige

From USA Today bestselling author Penelope Bloom comes the first novel in the romantic, sexy, and hilarious Anyone But… series.

Seven years ago, my best friends and I made a promise: No matter what, we would never date one of the King brothers. Even if they grew up to become megafamous, gorgeous, heart-stopping billionaires. Even if they crawled on their knees and begged for forgiveness.

But guess who just flew back into our lives in a private jet? And guess who just showed up to my job on my first day? Richard. King. Fortunately, it takes two seconds for Richard to reveal he hasn’t changed. Conceited. Cocky. Rude. Unfortunately, he’s also the kind of gorgeous that’s borderline offensive - with a jawline to make statues self-conscious and a grin that short-circuits my brain.

He’s spent years taking what he wants. I doubt he’s hungry for anything else - except me, apparently. There’s no way I’ll let him maneuver his way back into my life. My friends would never forgive me. I would never forgive me. But did I mention his jawline?

This was a fun little break between series.

Kira is just the sweetest FMC ever 💕 and Rich has you swooning when he has his mind set on you.

Kira's besties are real mvp's!

ok story

The story was good but there were many instances where it was a bit childish for my liking. I get this all started in high school but some of the characters act like they haven't made it to high school yet; let alone been out for 7 years.

It’s a NO

The story leave you to think and feel mostly agitation, irritation, and annoyance. The characters are immature, foolish, and just unsavory. Some stories are fun. Some are spicy. Some help you to “feel”. This one…. Did not need to be written. I read and listened through it and I didn’t feel anything remotely good, while reading. Mostly I just thought “wtf is wrong with these people. And why are they literally all written this way?” Didn’t learn anything. Didn’t enjoy it. It was pointless.

Enjoyed 👍

First Tim and Paige did a great job narrating this book. I got a lot of laughs. It was very humorous. Kara and Rich made a perfect couple. They got over issues that happened seven years ago and focused on the now. I loved that. It wasn't easy but they made it. Good love story and well worth listening to!
