ARC received for an honest review

Firstly, let me say that I am not usually one to really look at covers, but hot damn, do I LOVE this cover! I licked it, it's mine!

Channing and Amber (ugh, such stripper names!) have a lovely second chance-ish story going on and I couldn't help but want them to finally pull their finger out.

It did take me a while to feel the connection between them though I eventually did. They did feel more like acquaintances than potential lovers. But that might just be me.

If you have read any of Ms Ward's previous works, you will probably remember that there is this "thing" that always happens in her books... reading along and BAM there it was again!

I am not sure what it is about Gentleman Nine, but there was just some of the usual oomph missing for me. Don't get me wrong, I liked it but it was just lacking something. Again, this is probably just me.

So whilst this wasn't a favourite Penelope Ward book for me, it may be just your cup of tea.

Can't wait to see what she brings us next.
