Summary
From New York Times best-selling 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 man-whore. (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.

Penelope Ward does it again!!
When Penelope Ward writes something you know that it's going to be good and this was no exception.
It was a fun, sexy and emotional story with enough angst to make this a pretty much perfect listen.
Andi Arndt and Sebastian York did an amazing job narrating as usual.
Can't wait to read Penelope Ward's next book.

A MUST READ, FRIENDS TO LOVERS, I LOVED IT !!
You know when someone mentions a book and you can say without a doubt, "OMG you must read it!!"... well this is one of those books.
Channing and Amber had a bond and that was a loss of losing someone. Channing lost his sister while Amber lost her best friend.
The two of them became best friends and along with that friendship also came Rory who was Channing's best friend, so the three of them went through their teenage years together.
Rory and Channing both developed feelings for Amber and so they made a pact to keep their friendship with each other and that meant neither of them would make a move on Amber and just be her friend, however when Channing went to college for a year he came home to discover Rory had broken that pact, a pact Amber knew nothing about. Channing was hurt and became the playboy of the school and backed off from his two friends altogether, it hurt too much to be around them.
Nine years later and Rory and Amber's relationship has suddenly ended with Rory's shocking admission that they should experience other people.
Amber is heartbroken and when Channing hears he news he is still there for his friend Amber and visits her in Boston.
Amber begins to move on, Channing is staying with her while he is temporary working in Boston but they very much try and stick to just being friends although Channing has always loved her, Amber is now only just having feelings for him.
The Gentleman nine comes about when Amber begins to feel horny with Channing around, she puts it down to not getting laid in a while and out of desperation contacts a dating agency to rid herself of these feelings, move on and begin her single life only it doesn't go to plan and this is when and the plot really heats up..
I loved this story, I feel like I have been on a journey with these characters, I have shed a tear, felt the dilemmas and laughed along the way.
Gentleman nine is everything I love about a contemporary romance read, a friends to lovers romance with twists and revelations, there's hotness in all the right places, and interesting plot, likable characters, and a heartwarming hea.
I listened to this on audio and I loved the narrators who really brought the characters to life
Told in dual pov and leads to a hea.

Absolutely fabulous!
A great romantic story, perfectly narrated, very likeable characters and refreshing that the neurodiverse characters were drawn with empathy and some of their difficulties subtly included in the tale.
Loved Channing … so swoony,handsome and sensitive.
Off to look for another audio book by the author

very predictable
for those who want an easy light read, without too much drama. The male voice way off the mark- too mature for the character.
