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.

Very enjoyable listen
I was utterly absorbed in this story and there was good chemistry between the characters. Although it’s a taboo subject it was handled well and wasn’t too over the top or annoyingly angsty - just felt real. Wish this author had more books on Audible as there’s only a small handful at the moment.

A generous 3 stars …
First half was good, found it hard to finish the second half as it was stretched out, repetitive, predictable … I would skip this one , read Credence instead.

Unexpectedly good
This book was selected more out of curiosity as it cited an age gap romance that wasn't of the "perving over a schoolgirl" variety and I was interested to see how it was handled (as one half of a "gap" relationship for going on 20 years). The writing and narration, particularly the female narration, had a jarring, staccato quality to start with but both settled down over the first few chapters. The story is fun, involved and has moments of sweetness and frustration but at its core is the tale of two people who discover each other through bonds of both friendship and attraction. A few times Pike comes across as old fashioned and chauvinistic but this also reads/listens like a vehicle to communicate how he's dealing with the discomfort of being attracted to a younger woman. Overall the story is engaging, there are some wonderfully scripted conversations and the sex scenes and language are no more than a Saturday night at home when the kids are at grandma's. The only cringe-worthy aspect of the story is the name of the male lead, "Pike". There are hundreds of male given names of all nationalities to choose from; a realistic option might have been easier on the ear instead of the name of an ugly, aggressive, carnivorous fish.

Love the book
The storyline is perfect for my liking. Good balance of excitement, drama and romance in my opinion. I really love it. Kinda close to home, but in a different way, but its super relatable. Love it, can't say that enough.
