Amazon | iBooks | Amazon Paperback | Nook | Kobo | AUDIO Amazon | Audible

     

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

Growing up, the three of us were friends.

He was the nerd.

I was the playboy.

She was the beauty.

Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits.

He lied.

I went off to college, and he got the girl.

Amber never knew how I felt.

They were together for years—before he broke her heart.

Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch.

When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.

Still reeling from her breakup, she’d sworn off men.

One night, I opened her computer to find the shock of my life. She’d hesitantly contacted a male escort company. Afraid to date and get her heart broken again, she was looking for sex with no strings.

Every emotion imaginable ran through me: protectiveness, jealousy—curiosity.

Amber had chosen Gentleman Number Nine and sent him a message.

She opened up to him, confessing, among other things, her physical attraction to her friend—me. But she considered me off-limits—and she thought I was a manwhore. (Ironic, considering the circumstances.)

Eventually, she set up a date to meet Gentleman Nine at a hotel. 

When she showed up several nights later to meet him, she was stunned to see me standing there—with an offer I hoped she wouldn’t refuse.

 

  Review by Gia:

Gentleman Nine is a great fun read.  There were times I laughed and time was like omg.   Amber, Channing and Rory were close friends.  When Channing went off the college Amber and Rory started dating.  Since then Rory and Amber have broken up and Channing is back in town for work.  There is a connection between the two.  Even though there in attraction between the two, they both think they are off limits to each other because they are fiends.  Amber is looking for just a hookup and contacts an escort service but Channing intercepts the message and starts sending her messages pretending to be gentleman nine.  I was like oh no that's going to be trouble.    I was hooked because I wanted how the truth would come out and what would happen.  The reveal that he is gentleman nine came earlier in the story then I excepted but there is other stuff going on in the story too.

4 Amazeballs Stars!
