Anyone But Rich by Penelope BloomMy rating: 2.5 of 5 stars
I was hoping that I could really enjoy Anyone But Rich, but it turned out to only be an ok read for me. The storyline didn’t hook me as much as I hoped and I was a bit annoyed about three grown women holding on so tight to a pact that they made as teenagers. There was obviously a strong connection between Rich and Kira, but as adults Kira and her friends were still avoiding Rich and his brothers like the plague. However, Rich slowly knocked down Kira’s walls and she too managed to get her friends to slowly come around as well.
There were a few twists thrown in – fake fiancé and unbearable parents – but I could see that Rich and Kira were good for one another. The feelings that they had were buried, but Rich did everything he could to get Kira to see how good they were together.
The narration by Lauren Sweet and Tim Paige was done well; it’s a shame that the storyline bugged me so much. Hopefully with the pact being broken, the following stories are more enjoyable.
Title: Anyone But Rich
Author: Penelope Bloom
Series: Anyone But... #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: September 3, 2019
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?
