About this listen
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
Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile. Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother. Iron will be in prison soon. You’d never think it to meet him. He’s a nice guy, actually. But he can’t stop reacting to everything. Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever’s left. And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long. Not that I ever wanted to.

Story
In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Hawken Trent. So polite. So sweet. Such an upstanding young man. A virgin, too, I hear. He never gets naughty with a girl. Probably because Jesus told him not to. And now here he is, trying to be the hero by protecting another girl from me. He calls me a bully. Irrational. Unreasonable. A criminal. He can call me anything he wants, I’ve heard worse. And he can try to stand between me and my money, but he’s never had to fight for food. That rich, clean, school boy doesn’t have what it takes

But then my perfect day turns into a nightmare. I’m kidnapped by Russian gangsters. Turns out my family has a debt, and I'm the collateral. I'm trapped, bound and blindfolded, scared senseless and wondering if I'll make it out alive. Then I get kidnapped again. Only this time my kidnapper is the bodyguard I never knew I had.

I did have a few times when I wanted to throw my earbuds across my desk, but isn’t that what a good book does? It makes us feel! The narrators did a good job bringing the characters to life. I would definitely recommend using a credit on this one.
Bye bye book slump!

Despite just being a great story, I relate to this one a lot so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Jordan is relatable character. She wants her life to be in a specific way, but is stuck with a boyfriend that just does not have the same aspirations as her. Upon financial troubles, they move into his father's house. Said father is Pike Lawson, the man she met the day before officially meeting him as the dad.
The slow-burn romance and angst in this book is really what makes it amazing. While Jordan is holding off for respect for her ex, they have plenty of heated run-ins. There is no cheating in this book. Penelope writes a book with such a complicated story, but avoids that trope altogether. Angst only goes so far, when they finally make moves.
While I thought reading this was fantastic, listening to it was just fantastic. When reading, i couldn't put voices to the characters, but these narrators did it perfectly and now I can't hear them any other way. I listened on 1x, as the pacing of this story was perfect. They didn't speak too fast or slow, and it was perfect for the story.
Listening to it is even better than reading it!

The book was also long, which is usually a sign for me that I'll get bored around 75% and just wish it was over. Absolutely NOT the case with this story! I was addicted to this couple and the sexual tension between them kept me listening non-stop. (In fact I stayed awake until 4am and still had 3.5 hrs to go the next day.)
Great characters who are already strong, but still reaching for improvement in themselves and finding a way to be together despite the stigma. (In this case, not just the age gap, but she was in a relationship with his son for quite a while, too.) Early on I wondered repeatedly how the author was going to give these two an HEA that the son/ex-bf could accept. I won't give it away, but it worked out beautifully, in my opinion.
I loved this story and I'd heartily recommend it!
