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.

Best book ever!!!

Loved the narrators and the story. I feel in love with this book immediately and I highly recommend it to everyone. The audiobook was so good. it's very difficult for me to say my feeling since English it's not my first language, but there were times so filled with emotions and angst that I nearly cried....I had to be very careful because I was in the bus going to work :)) I want a Pike in my life!

Love this story!!!

I’m a sucker for a good age gap romance and this one is one of my very favorites. The narrators do such a good job bringing life to Pike and Jordan and their story. There is amazing banter between these two and there are of course the typical obstacles you would expect from and age gap. There’s angst and moments where you want to smack characters (main or supporting), but it all comes together to be a love story that gives you the warm fuzzies and leaves you with a smile on your face.

The perfect mix of all the good things!

My new #1!! Good story and the perfect amount of spice. My definition of binge worthy!

Wow is all I can say

I loved , loved this :-). It was so good. I am so happy with how it went .

Unexpected but good.

The storyline was so interesting but played out so well. Sometimes the heart want what the heart wants no matter how “forbidden” or complicated it is. This is definitely a good read!

pretty good

twists and turns, sadness and happiness. This story has it all. Worth listening to. highly recommend. I personally like it when they have different people perform each main character, i.e. male and female.

Full and well rounded

I really enjoyed the story and the narrators. Great characters and plot. I plan to listen to more by the same author.

Really great story

The age gap was a little big but she was an adult and they had great chemistry. I loved how they love each other. I love a happy ending. I really enjoyed this book, really looking forward to reading more Penelope Douglas!

Wow wow wow!!!

This book was so amazing! The characters are so genuine and real. Loved every second of it. The girl narrator starts off a little monotone but it gets better as the book goes on. Andrew Eiden’s voice is exactly what I picture takes voice to sound like. I wish I could read this book over again and over again!

Best book of 2019 so far for me!

This was a first Penelope Douglas book for me, but it won't be the last. I already have the next one waiting for me. I am a fan for life now! Hot, sexy, romantic, funny, quirky and so life like, what more could you possibly want. Andrew Eiden and Jennifer Mack were the perfect narrators for this book. Now I'm off to Penelope Douglas' next book for me.
