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.

Anytime I see that Penelope Ward is putting out a new book I can't wait find out what trope it's going to be. Is it Friends to Lovers, Enemy to Lovers, Forbidden? Frankly it doesn't matter what it is, because I'll read anything she writes. Gentleman Nine covers a couple of the ones I mentioned.
Told in dual POV, Gentleman Nine is the story of Amber and Channing. Growing up Amber and Channing were best friends, along with their friend Rory, they were the Three Musketeers. Channing and Rory both liked Amber but made the mutual agreement to not date her. Well life happens, someone goes off to college, and the other breaks the promise they made. Fast forward and Amber is left heartbroken, reeling from the break up.
Channing gets a contract job in Boston and decides to catch up with Amber. Amber is shocked to hear from him. Amber remembers just exactly how hot Channing is. He was always her crush growing up but she never thought she had a chance with him. What she doesn't know is that Channing is harboring the same feelings. I loved the way this story line played out. There was the right amount of slow burn.
I enjoyed Amber and Channing. Both characters were relatable and you were rooting for them the entire book. Penelope always does a great job of sucking you in and making you fall in love with the characters.
Gentleman Nine was full of moments that will make you laugh and swoon, along with the angst and twist that you crave from a Penelope Ward book. I was hooked and read this book straight through. As with all Penelope Ward books, I recommend you immediately one click this.
