Amber’s Review
Charming, entertaining and heart warming are all words I’d use to describe The Anti-Boyfriend by Penelope Ward. This one is the perfect type of book – one that offers a means of escape.
In The Anti-Boyfriend, you have single mom Carys and her daughter Sunny living next door to the manwhore single sexy Deacon. When Deacon’s late night antics keep both Carys and baby Sunny from sleep, she confronts him; and that leads to a bright new friendship.
And as always, the friendship leads to more…even though The Anti-Boyfriend has undoubtedly decided that he is not boyfriend material and tries to refrain from letting the relationship evolve into more.
This book is relatable which is one of the main reason why I liked the story. You all should give it a try
