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.

Story
best book ive read in a very long time
I was extremely apprehensive going into this one, being a 38year old mum with a 21 year old daughter. It just felt weird. If my daughter came home and told me she was with a man my age I would shit a brick!!!! However I adore this authors writing and I kept seeing so many damn recommendations on social media that I could no longer ignore all the hype. I actually loved it. I'm not the biggest fan of age gap romances but I did enjoy this one and who doesn't love good hea, even if it is taboo😆

Absolute tosh
So poorly written and enormously sexist. Quote ‘I hate being lied to, especially by a woman’. There’s so many more examples of this throughout. It’s like 50 shades of grey but more childish and cringeworthy.

Bad language spoils it
Good story, which I enjoyed, but such a shame it was spoiled somewhat by the constant unnecessary bad language

The story had everything that I hoped for!
This has to be right up there with my all-time favourite reads.
This, as seen in the blurb, is another delicious forbidden romance from Penelope Douglas. The sexual relationship between the key protagonists was incredibly slow to develop but it picked up quite a pace once the reins were released. Pike was the perfect partner to complement Jordan and despite her young age and relative innocence, her character was penned in a way that came across as much older than her years.
Despite being her boyfriend's father, Jordan finds herself spending more time with Pike as her Cole distances himself from her and their life together. When she realises that their relationship is over Jordan once again finds herself facing more impossible situations but the ever-reliable Pike is there to offer her support and friendship.
The way the developing relationship between Pike and Jordan was written allowed readers the chance to come to terms with their love affair and although they both resisted it, it was Jordan who came to her senses first and realised that there was nothing that they couldn't overcome if they handled their relationship carefully. Unfortunately for her, Pike found accepting their romantic feelings for one another more difficult and delayed the inevitable talk with his family and it was that delay which brought about the biggest fight of his life.
This was definitely a story to love and it was made even more enjoyable via Audible.

Performances were great, story was reallllly slow for a while, in my opinion, but picked up. Generally not a breathtaking experience but a nice casual listen.

Definitely wotrth the wait
So this one has been on my tbr for what feels like forever, so when I saw that the audiobook was on sale, I snatched it up!!
I really enjoyed the book Daddy Pike is 🥵 The back and forth between him and Jordan was just delicious and ramped up the angst factor to 100.
I whized through this book. I didn't want to put it down. I was desperate to see what would happen next.
The narrators were perfect for this book and brought the characters to life perfectly
