Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas | Paperback
From Our Romance Box
📖 About this Book
Jordan is nineteen, broke, and trying desperately to build a more stable life. When she and her boyfriend, Cole, lose their apartment, they move in with his father, Pike. The problem is that Jordan and Pike understand each other far better than either of them expected.
Living under the same roof turns their growing attraction into something increasingly difficult to ignore. But with a significant age gap, complicated loyalties, and Pike being her boyfriend’s father, acting on those feelings could destroy everything around them. It’s a slow-burn, forbidden contemporary romance built around tension, restraint, and wanting the one person you absolutely should not want.
❤️ Why Sumaia Recommends It
This is one of those romances where the tension does most of the work, and frankly, humanity apparently decided regular uncomplicated relationships were not stressful enough.
The slow burn is excellent, the chemistry between Jordan and Pike builds naturally, and beneath the forbidden-romance setup there’s actually a lot about loneliness, responsibility, independence and finding someone who truly sees you.
